According to the Marvel wikia I was browsing earlier, there's at least one storyline where Daisy Johnson is the one who recruits Coulson into SHIELD, so there's a nice role reversal there to play with.
He doesn't travel well. He's like fine shrimp.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am amongst those who has no reason to think that Mack is dead. He looked just as well as Coulson, if not better.
Man, my turnaround on Skye has been pretty massive. Is that writing, or is the acting improved too? I can't work it out.

I didn't know he was in the comics now! Cool.

She was all sorts of awesome last night, and, acting-wise, I thought she was really good crying to Coulson about not being able to kill her dad.

All I could think when he was humming that song was HAL.
Me too, but that made him calling her Daisy more of a jolt.
I think I'm just gonna be in denial about Tripp for a while. He never got enough screen time.

I'm more than a little upset with Joss about this. How about killing off the british guy? What's he bringing to the party? NOT AS MUCH AS TRIPP. (especially since I can't even remember his name!)

Ah, Internet spec is that Mr. No Eyes is Reader, who was just introduced in comics a few months ago. His power is to turn whatever he reads into reality, so the Inhumans blinded him. Now he sees telepathically through his dog or something? I don't know. Comics.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I was just commenting to Tim that there's not just *one* super-intelligent gorilla/ape in DC; there are so many that you have to rank them by weirdness (Grodd is the LEAST weird). I love how casual weird shit is in comics. I would say weird shit doesn't translate well from the page to the screen, but then I remember Groot.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Seriously, there are so many fully sentient, talking gorillas at DC it would have been easier to just establish that the whole species developed speech and culture in parallel to humanity.

DC comics believed that placing a gorilla on a comic book cover, regardless of the context or relevance, would automatically correspond with an increase in sales for that title.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Our contemporary interest in All Things Zombie will look similarly weird in a decade.
(It already looks weird to me.)
