I like how they are atleast trying to use all the SHIELD agents they've shown in the movies or one shots.

Decent episode, although I wish they would fight villains from the comics instead of generic bad guys every week.

^Oh, for a moment there, I thought Simmons did more damage to that SHIELD Agent she shot!

I'm still feeling like they aren't pulling the trigger in incorporating the grand Marvel universe as a whole. Yeah, next week we get some film tie-in/clean up. But this whole centipede stuff just needs to be dropped and they need to cement either Hydra or A.I.M as the grander evil. You see SHIELD be all powerful, you gotta give them some purpose, or at least name drop a bit more.
Till they do, Arrow will be the better comic television show that takes those risk when other comic shows can't.

Victoria Hand and a vintage concept from the comic books? I'm shocked.

I was not expecting to see Victoria Hand, which was great. Osborn walking in would have been perfect.

I liked the mention of Barton and Romanov too.
Thought this was anothe good episode. Liked that this started in the middle if a mission and they didn't backpedal it to an earlier time,

Casting of Hand seemed a little too old for me. Plus she looked HUGE next to coulson. other than that, another good "team-building" episode. interactions with ward and fitz were great.

I sort of find myself scratching my head and wondering why they weren't going to extract Fitz and Ward when it wasn't that difficult at all to pull off.
Simple dramatic tension, or is SHIELD up to something else?

Right show. He was comparing Jemma (Simmons) dragging away Agent Sitwell after she shot him to Lizzie dragging away the bodies on "Walking Dead."
Toward the end of the episode, didn't Victoria say to one of her minions something about Coulson's team not needing an extraction plan?

Liked this ep.quite a bit. Had a lot of the intelligent humor one comes to expect from Whedon series, as opposed to zingers. I guess we are meant to infer that May is the SHIELD agent that brought Skye to the orphanage? She's obviously not also her mother, as she seemed to wonder about that herself.
I would love to run a train with Skye and Simmons.
