Yeah, I noticed the music too. "This means something!"

I feel kind of sorry for Kid Strucker. I'm sure he was a little shit, but one day he's living la vida loca on a yacht, then he's getting kidnapped by Ward Et Alia, thrown into an operation he wasn't prepared for, then beaten to death after being thrown under the bus by someone he trusted.
Holy shit. I did NOT see that coming. DH and I both gasped when the Ex-Mr. May turned out to be Lash. Well done, AoS.
I just figured out where I had seen Kid Von Strucker.
Spencer Treat Clark was the son of Bruce Willis's character in Unbreakable.
He's also the little boy in Gladiator.
I still want Phil to get back together with the cellist (HEEE to the remark about her becoming Illyria). But I'm totally there for him using his charm to disarm Rosalind.
Then they'd match. Phil has already been disarmed. Well, only partly, really.
There's an "unhand me" joke there somewhere.
ok - I wrong threaded and I blame it on ALL THE FEELS
A lot of stuff in this AoS and still I am left with 2 minutes of Fitz screen time that made my heart grew 4 sizes and believe in love and bunnies and all things sweet. I am defenseless.
this wasn't even all that feely.
What I love about Fitz and Gemma is that they are *actually talking about things*!!!! That's so freaking rare on TV. It makes Fitz all the more adorable--and so very, very wise to say "Let just watch the sun rise." Too much crap to be discovered yet.
And yummy suave Phil! Who, if the previews are to be believed, is still the Ultimate Agent
I am so pleased to see angsty relationships where the angst isn't built on interpersonal lies and subterfuge--Phil and Rosalyn notwithstanding, they're a special case. There is more than enough bad shit in their lives without having to go all soap opera.
And I thought Kid Strucker was dead. If he wakes up and figures out his mentor turned him over to Ward, this will be interesting.
So many story lines! I'm so pleased.
And I thought Kid Strucker was dead.
I thought he was, too. Is it possible that Powers Boothe just doesn't know Kid Strucker is dead?
I'm also wondering if Powers Boothe is even a bad guy. I'm wondering if he's actually a good guy pretending to be bad, and wants Rosalind to bring Phil to him in order to keep Phil safe/work with him to bring down Hydra.
The stuff with Andrew came REALLY close to Buffy having to kill Angel. And emotionally, it was the same, since May said she didn't know if Andrew would survive being shot (which was a total Hulk moment).
