Agents of SHIELD has been on a roll since midway through the first season and hasn't really let up in quality since then. If anything, it's gotten even better.
This was another really solid, entertaining episode. It will be interesting to see what happens to Coulson after what happened at the end of the episode.

This might be the first episode where I actually liked the Cal stuff, particularly the sweet moments with him and Skye. Glad they actually said the full name as Daisy Johnson. I kept wondering if they were going to actually have him change in to Mr. Hyde physically when he was raging.
Oh and Solid Snake hates this show. Cuz... fuck.

This show has been pretty mediocre since it came back from hiatus but I did enjoy this episode. I'm guessing that Ward will rejoin SHIELD and come back as a regular next season.

I think the show has been gaining steam since the break. Loved seeing Ward and Coulson clear the building together.

I liked the daddy daughter moments. Liked Bobbi and Mac sparing. Liked how the meeting went down. I wasn't sure who was playing who. I'm still not 100% sure. Simmons being put off by May was good also.
So it seems Hydra can track tunnels created by teleporting. I think this will mean they will be able to find Afterlife unless it is off planet.
Really liked this episode.

You have to cut Cal a little slack...putting one's wife back together with that assortment of tools would make most people not quite right in the brain.
Simmons REALLY needs to borrow one of Bobbi's white t-shirts for an episode.

This was a damn fine episode. Probably one of the best the show's ever done. I always enjoy the show, but wish they could maintain this kind of quality throughout.

Solid Snake everything because...fuck. Fuck is his reason for everything.
Ward may be evil, but he's sure good.
They're flirting with some sexual tension between the two characters. It's kind of odd, I thought that she'd get get back together with Hunter, especially since they announced the spin-off.
They look fine on Mockingbird 
. Just fine. Just fine.
So May is now fully on board with SHIELD 2.0 because of Coulson's secrets? That was fast. What's the bet that he's doing what he's doing on Fury's orders and we'll secretly find out that he was right all along to tie in with AOU and the Twins?

So it can hang on her like a kid wearing his older brother's hand me downs? Bobbi's big fake titties have those shirts all stretched out.

Fun episode and I enjoyed having Ward back in the mix even though he's still a murdering piece of shit.
They've already mentioned that a future episode will be linked to Age of Ultron. One article I read said that episode 20 will have some tie-in to Avengers, but nothing too direct like Winter Soldier.

I hope Hydra turns Deathlok back into a bad guy. His character works better as a villain.

surprised by all of the love this episode is getting, I thought it was one of the worst of the series.

One of the 3 people in the room when Gemma threw the toolbox in the trash came back later and took it. They wouldn't have focused on it going into the trash except to make viewers think it's definitely out of play so we'll be surprised by it later.

For what purpose? They made it clear that hers wasn't real.
