'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
Skye ran to the panel May told her about to bring down the laser fence. I have no idea why she needed to do that, since Not!SHIELD was already apparently inside said fence, so it clearly wasn't doing its job, but she wasn't just blindly running into the dark.
Bobbi saw the real gun, and also saw the bullet bounce back and shoot that guy in the shoulder.
The confusing part is that Adama seems to be in command of the Pegasus in this universe, and that just ain't right.
I KNEW I saw him have a non-icer! HAH.

Well, Lloyd Bridges is no longer available.

I thought that it was a big hunk of wood, not a bullet. Although a bullet would have been fine.
It was both. The bullet hit him in the shoulder before the trees started flying around.
Tiny violin playing for him. Wah wah wah...
Aw, poor Charlie's gonna die again.
There was more going on in this episode, but not a lot of logic anywhere. And why didn't Coulson & May point out that Fury's not dead? Although it did sound like Gonzalez was challenging Fury's decision-making, too. Like Fury's secrets were more to blame for the fall of SHIELD than the Hydra infestation (which predated Fury, but whatever).
Fury doesn't want anyone else to know he's alive. Coulson would not make that call. I'm just amazed at how many people know Phil's alive and how, though that's probably from Bobbi.
I think there are very legitimate issues with Fury greenlighting Project Insight, as Gonzales brought up. It didn't lead to the HYDRA situation, but it's symptomatic of a questionable leadership approach. Setting up a system with carte blanche to track millions of supposed threats and the ability to shell them en masse remotely is begging for an enormous amount of power to fall into the wrong hands once you're no longer in charge. And I'm not sure there are actually any right hands for that sort of capability.
Granted, Insight was flawed, as Steve rightly pointed out. If it took Captain America to point this out to Fury, Fury needs/needed to be paying more attention to the end games of his projects.
