I'm glad that they didn't kill Cal. He's too much fun.

Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
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.
Well, DANG, that was a last-minute HOLY SHIT moment.
OH MY FUCKING GOD! Noooooo! Thank god this show was renewed, because if it had ended like that, I'd be pissed.
I enjoyed the episode, but that stinger was seriously WTF.
Dammit, they teased both Skye and Coulson dying, only to take those back and get rid of Jemma instead?!? UNFAIR!
Is she definitely dead or will she be transformed into something? Do we know what that stuff was?
We know it's Kree in origin and dangerous to Inhumans. No indication of what effect it would have on normal humans, though.
I was actually surprised when Coulson started going ashy. I assumed his Kree blood injection would protect him somehow. I'm guessing he'll get a robo-hand of some kind next season, based on his comment about "weighing his options."
Also, good call those who thought Skye's mom was up to something hinky. I was completely surprised at how the good/evil dynamic ended up working out with her parents.

Me, too.
Holy crap! Gemma! Phil! AHHHH!
Oh, god, the alliance of Phil and Cal made me shriek in glee. And there's always the possibility that Cal could come out of it, but that was good closure on his story. Poor, poor Cal.
At the one hour mark I was boggled at how much had already happened.
I actually felt sorry for Ward. My god, Bobbie is tough. But still, Ward actually bonded with Kara in their twistedness. And now he's going to take over Hydra (though a casting detail from the next Cap movie says Hydra isn't without a head).
Thank heaven Skye realized Mom couldn't be trusted early. I was so not enjoying all the "I'm just trying to help my people!" bit.
Boggled. So much.
Gemma!!!!
A thought re: The Thing That Ate Gemma: It might not be harmful. I thought I saw arms in it as it was writhing about. It may have grabbed her as a form of "what the hell am I dealing with--Finally, someone to communicate with!"
I'm betting weird symbiote or she'll be the one to communicate with the alien.
