But people really need to stop making Ben Browder act with an accent.
I like to think they specifically asked him "Do the Crichton-is-terrible-at-Peacekeeper-accent voice" on the assumption that at least 5 people would get the shout-out and think it was hilarious.
Favorite bits (non-spoilery)

Tore through the last 17 episodes of SHIELD over the last two weeks. While the early episodes were kind of dull (which is why I had most of the season still on my DVR) they really hit their stride after that. I'm also impressed with the actress who plays Aida and her ability to convey the differences in the four different versions of the character throughout the season. (I was impressed when she was just playing the LMD version and getting across "this is a robot mimicking human emotional responses rather than actually experiencing them" and then they added Agnes, Madame Hydra and Ophelia.)
One of the other scenes that sticks with me is Jemma and Daisy realizing the other one is real during the LMD attack and the two of them just clutching each other for dear life. All the actors have grown over the last four seasons but I think Chloe Bennett has probably gone through the most-noticeable amount.
Man, I really hope they can Looking Glass Tripp back into the real world.

She is also terrifically fun on Galavant.

Such a great scene.

Oh, man, I totally missed that she was on that!
I feel sorry for Ophelia, because she has no understanding of emotions, and she got thrown into a battlezone. She was so triumphant when she was able to rescue Mac, then Fitz told her the cornerstone of the universe, that Simmons is it for him, and he is it for her (lord, that wordless scene of her going in and sitting down and wrapping her arms around him).
Finally caught up on AoS and I concur that the actress who plays Aida is knocking it out of the park! She's fantastic. This has definitely been the most fully realized arc that the show has ever done. Although I'm pissed that all the brown people on the team are now trapped in the framework. I want them all back in the real world, Mac, Tripp, even Yo-Yo though she's sometimes annoying. Really happy that this show is coming back next season.
Yeah, while Aida/Ophelia's done some really terrible things to a lot of people, a lot of the blame falls on Radcliffe. (Though credit to him for saving Fitz in the end) As the Russian pointed out, she's basically an infant with the powers of a god; every new experience is the best/worst thing she's ever had happen to her.

Almost all of it, I'd say. It's hard for me to assign blame to Ada when she's only had free will for what, half a day?
Oh, man, I totally missed that she was on that!
I completely failed to identify her until I looked her up. It's a shame that she's not getting to be funny as Aida.
So yes, Radcliffe is to blame, but isn't the implication that it's the Darkhold is ultimately responsible? It "infected" Aida, or whatever, which gave it an opening to get to Radcliffe.
Though man, John Hannah is good at playing a weasel.
