when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I admit I would not be sad if Ward's escape resulted in a shoot-on-sight order.

I really wish this show used Trip more. The Hunter/Bobby sniping is sorta fun, but I would rather watch Trip kicking ass with the noise and the funk.

Oh oh oh oh, FitzSimmons. Breaking my heart.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm wondering if Ward's escape might be his brother's idea. If his admittedly unreliable childhood narrative is correct, Ward's brother had him doing some bad things. I could see how the senator might find it useful to have an agent like that available in the world with some plausible deniability attached. If the senator said, "Bring him to me in this manner," and said manner was something the senator knew Ward could escape, the end result would look like what we saw. Meanwhile the senator could be all, "How did that notorious criminal escape?"

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Still, regular handcuffs? Ordinary people without his training have dislocated their thumbs to get out of handcuffs.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yeah, I was all like "Oh, wait for -- yep, there's the fucking thumb."

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Seriously, "don't give him an inch" wasn't supposed to refer to his cuffs, but the closeup that showed how loose they were had me convinced I could have slipped them.

Did like the line to Simmons about how he didn't know Fitz before so he doesn't think of him as broken. I have a friend who was badly burned in a fire and I've often been glad I didn't know her before - I don't see what she's lost, so she's just who she is.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I mean, he's the fucking superspy, your best and brightest, and you have random lackeys transporting him? With regular cuffs?

I'm pretty sure that Coulson meant for Ward to escape.

Also, the Brugges fight scenes were badass. The main baddie's mistake was getting too close to May. NEVER do that!

Also also, I would like a Tshirt that says, "WWMD?" because basically she'd just give you a look that shuts you up. A very useful superpower.

One more thing: TIM MCKAY!!!!! I love him so much.

I lied, I need to share this image from the Mary Sue. It is true on so many levels.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm pretty sure that Coulson meant for Ward to escape.

I seriously hope so, because there's really no other excuse for those handcuffs.

Poor FitzSimmons.
