Someone at the Previously TV forums speculated that Gonzales was actually HYDRA - whoever attacked him did so with an axe, whereas all the HYDRA agents on the carrier would have been ready for the takeover with firearms. And Bobbi was given orders to sink the ship because it was under HYDRA control - with Gonzales as its captain. That would explain why they're spending so much effort to go after the SHIELD remnant that brought down a lot of HYDRA's regional directors rather than taking teh fight to HYDRA itself.

I may have to go back and rewatch some episodes, because I keep wondering where Maria Hill is. Between CA:TWS and the two seasons of SHIELD, I'm getting very confused as to who knows what and where the heck are they. I should start tracking this stuff.

Maria Hill is working for Stark.

I got the impression she might be in charge of logistics for the Avengers now that they're apparently privatized.

Maria knows about Phil, I don't know that she knows where Phil's SHIELD is. Phil knows she's with Stark but at this point Stark apparently doesn't know about Phil.
Maybe Gonzalez will turn out to be an Inhuman himself? Or a Kree/Skrull working to take down the Inhumans?

Okay, see? I had totally spaced that Hill was working for Stark; that's why I need to write this shit down so I don't sit here and ask silly questions.

Not silly. I totally spaced on that too. I forgot how awesome it is to have the Buffista hivemind so we don't have to write this shit down.
So when was the first sandwich reference? I knew it was a callback, but that's about it.
I actually want Gonzalez to be right and Coulson to join the Real Shield. For one, I'm bored of Director!Coulson and much prefer when he's getting yelled at by superiors and ignoring them. Also, it's so much fun to watch Coulson when he's humbled.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Back in season 1. Simmons packs Fitz his favorite sandwich when he's going out on a Field mission with Ward. And then Ward throws it away because they're being hunted by people with dogs.

So where the heck is Fitz going? The Sandbox?

Thanks! That was some good Ward/Fitz bonding.
