Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

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.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

They kind of did that.

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.)

So Tripp is dead but Mack is alive? Sigh. I was kind of thinking Fitz might bite it when he ran off by himself. But yeah, I'm on board with sacrificing Hunter instead: he's just Not. Interesting. to me.

I jumped out of my chair when Skye shot Ward: SO AWESOME. Way to go, girl! I knew he wasn't going to be dead but I'm still so pleased.

Nice to see Bobbie survived, as well.

But I'm bummed about Trip.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

There's a photo going around Tumblr of Clark Gregg holding up a post-it with #TripLives on it. No idea what to make of it.

Maybe the Koenigs aren't LMDs but Trip will be!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I am very pissed about Tripp's death! WTF was he even in that scene for?

I'm going to have to go back and rewatch, but did he break the blue crystal thing or did it just shatter and hit him with the shards?

All is well that ends in pizza.

He kicked it, it went boom.
