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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
In the flashback, did anyone notice a vibe between Mack and the guy who was shot (Tim, I think)? I'm not just saying that from an impulse to slash random characters; it felt vibey. Plus Bobbi specifically said to Mack "I'm sorry about [Tim]." Tons of SHIELD agents were killed that day, many of whom Mack and Bobbi knew, but she specifically mentioned him.
It could be nothing, but it kind of jumped out at me.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Major slash pairings have been built on far less.

It just seemed canonical to me, but I may have been imagining things.

I didn't catch a vibe between them, so although the expression of sympathy did seem noteworthy to me, it could just as easily have been for Mack's handler or longtime partner in the field rather than the bedroom.

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.
Not!SHIELD flew in, though. So maybe the fence was still a prob for foot traffic.
Well, Lloyd Bridges is no longer available.
LOL...man, I'm old...

I totally forgot about Deathlok!!!!
"The tiger's already been loose." And a million fangirls (and boys) shriek in delight and say "Yes, it has!"
edit: "I just wanted to see your face." Phil, you troll!
I knew Fitz and Simmons were up to something! Ha! And I think Rodriguez may lose Bobbi with his talk about "it" and "freak."
