Huh, I got nothing messianic about it, I was just annoyed at everyone making it all about them.
And now I'm re-thinking all the sermons I listened to about Jesus dying for my sins. "Wow, Reverend, way to make it all about you."
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's possible I was primed that way with all the stuff about Yo-yo's cross.

I so loved Cross Roulette and the shiver of "Fitz just gave her his coat, with the logo! And it's got the cross in it!" It was like tracking the McGuffin in a Hitchcock movie.
edit: It may not be the most erudite of storylines, but gosh I love it when elements are foreshadowed and touched on so that the viewer knows it's important but the players don't.

All is well that ends in pizza.
when did John Hannah join the cast? I love him
And I got my new tagline from him. Unattributed, because spoilers.

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.
Finally caught up on SHIELD, haven't seen Civil War yet. Hopefully next weekend.
Very glad Lincoln was the one who bought it. I won't miss him at all. I was very worried it would be Fitz or Simmons. I'm honestly getting tired of the modern trend of shows killing off a major character in the season finale. I'm okay with death being a real threat, but it should be an organic part of the story rather than a "Whoops, we're at the end of the season, time to give someone the axe!"
No one else was excited about Mac's shotgun-axe? I actually cheered when he showed everyone.
Coulson definitely referred to someone else being Director in the flash-forward.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We saw Civil War again tonight, and here is my 100%, you-cannot-convince-me-otherwise headcanon: Dean Pelton got a job at MIT. God bless the Russos.

I don't know how I missed it the first time (I mean, obviously I didn't miss Jim Rash, but I just didn't take that extra step.)
Also in the movie but unrelated to my previous point: what kind of monster sends a text message to tell Steve that Peggy died? Yeah, I can tell from the number on his phone that it was from the UK (it started with +44), so maybe a call wasn't the most practical, BUT STILL. The hell, man?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
what kind of monster
Ha. My mom sent a fucking group text when my grandfather died: "Dada is gone." I was glad my little sister had actually called me before and broke the news to me personally BEFORE I had it done via text.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Well, Peggy had been declining for a movie or two now, so possibly the text was from a relative who'd been sitting by her bed for her final days/weeks/months and knew that the many people Peggy had touched should know before they saw it on the news, but didn't have the spoons or ability to call them all individually or trust a phone tree to get it done before CNN called Steve for a sound bite.
