Saying he would not hurt Simmons was so calmly creepy, like he still wants them to like him.
Same, although I may be tired of people being like, "I can't hurt you, but I will let him hurt you, which completely absolves me, I guess."
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think it paralleled nicely with what Ward's brother was saying about Ward being delusional about the fact that he would never hurt him. Ward thinks he's that kind of person, but he's not.

Ward doesn't want to take over the world unless it will give him what he wants. Part of him thinks he's going to take care of people--if they'd just stop complaining about him butchering people.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I cannot CAN NOT with the Fitz. He is love.
Keeps breaking my heart in every damn episode.
(also, it's a good thing they sent one half of Fitz-Simmons through the portal, since True Love is the answer to how you return.)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I just watched the first 2 episodes of Jessica Jones.
Can someone tell me if this happened to them? during the 2nd episode the aspect ratio of the window kept changing. It would be rectangular then square then smaller then repeat the sequence. And I wasn't sure if was part of the psychological state of Jessica's mind or Netflix acting flakey on my computer.

Did not happen to me. I don't think that's an artistic choice.

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.
Well, of all the possible outcomes of tonight's SHIELD, I didn't see Possessed Zombie Ward as one of them. I'd say it puts "Ward will be redeemed" to rest permanently, but I guess weirder things have happened.
And obviously freaky alien thing can access the memories of those it possessed based on its conversations with Fitz (well, either that or its psychic and was reading Fitz's mind.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
For real, I thought the Inhuman was a shapeshifter and it just shifted into Will's form after it killed Will. Which is why I was so confused when Fitz saw what was under the bandages on its leg. (Plus I couldn't see too clearly what was under the bandages, because the funky blue lighting doesn't play well with my eyesight.)
Even when we saw Inhuman!Ward at the end, I *still* thought it had just assumed Ward's form rather than actually possessed his body. Tim had to explain it to me. I am kinda dim sometimes.
And how did Inhuman!Ward manage to get through the portal with no one noticing? I know the show left that time period deliberately vague (I honestly wasn't sure if Fitz and Coulson made it back until we saw them), but I still feel like it would have been obvious that another life form came through the portal.
Finally, Coulson killing Ward was so satisfying (even if I was yelling "You did the thing! Now get through the portal, dumbass!").

Yeah, the timing seemed weird, but my guess is Mack didn't give the order to open fire until they were in Andrew's pod, which means there was X number of seconds where the portal was potentially open but unwatched. I'm tempted to call shenanigans (did all the HYDRA guys trying to break in just give up and leave? How did they get to the pod?) but I'm just happy Coulson's weird look at the end was a psych out to make us think he'd gotten possessed by the thing when it really got Ward instead.
Coulson crushing Ward's ribcage so he suffocated was needlessly brutal, though.

Tim thought Coulson was possessed, too.

I think it was just the right amount of brutal. Very satisfying.
