Buffistas

I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

Yeah, that was a very quick bit, I had to rewind three times to confirm that was what happened.

So, if he hadn't kicked it, he would have survived, because he wouldn't have gotten a bit of Diviner shrapnel in him? That sucks.

hard to say what would have happened.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know people like Tripp more than Hunter, but the truth is--do we know much about Tripp? They hadn't spent much time giving him a backstory, or much development beyond the actor's (UNDENIABLE) charisma and general badassery (which is shared by everyone on the show).

So I'm not surprised he bought it, in comparison to Hunter (I'm getting this right?) and his more detailed history and screwing his ex-wife.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I'm not surprised, I am just unhappy about it. While we didn't have a lot of Tripp's backstory, what we did have was interesting (i.e. his family history, which often saved New SHIELD's asses). Hunter is this mercenary carrying a torch for his exwife, who happens to be part of the team. What's interesting about that?
