Episode 19 of 22



It's Root!! Too bad Person of Interest is a repeat tonight. That would have been weird having her on 2 different shows on 2 different networks.

I gave up on the show weeks ago but Amy Acker has sucked me back in.

Fred! I love how Joss is like John Ford or John Wayne - he's got HIS actors and he uses them whenever he can.

Now if we could only get Fred and Gunn in the same scene... ;)

At least they didn't do something lame and predictable like Skye thinking it was May.

You're going to be totally lost. The show became pretty heavily serialized and these episodes are a direct follow up to Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Ward has become so much fun to watch. Is anyone else here rooting for him over the SHIELD agents? :D

The fact that he
Spoiler:
killed Patton Oswalt
just made him even more likable in my eyes. :lol:

Wow. Ward really is bad. I don't see them claiming this was deep cover, triple agent kind of stuff now. He's suddenly a lot of fun to watch, too.

I love what this show has become over the last 8 or 10 episodes.

Was there some easter egg on that license plate? I didn't know what the significance of that was.

Agree about Ward, although I kind of wish we saw the kill on screen. What did Skye see in that picture when she was hiding from Ward? She seemed to go from completely freaked to cool and collected. The villain seemed kind of filler, which I can kind of understand.

So... May's mom I guess mentions Maria Hill?

I still don't give a shit about Skye, which I guess is the real issue here and why we're sort of cheering for Hydra and Ward in this situation, oddly enough.

May's mom is the same actress who played her mother in the Joy Luck Club.

This was probably the weakest of the Hydra era episodes, but still enjoyable. I just kept waiting for the big reveal. I'm not sure what happened while Skye was in the restroom. Did she leave a note for the others to find?

So Fury personally designs a lie detector test that checks for 96 different "tells" yet cannot account for the oldest trick in the book? Did his budget not allow for a metal detector?

Pretty cool that we have a descendant of the Howling Commandos on the team.

Tsai Chin was in Joy Luck Club, but she played Ming Na's aunt.

I root for everyone to die except May but including Ward every episode. I was screaming at Skye last night "You can fucking track him about the facility! Why are you panicking? You're another incompetent shitty SHIELD agent!"

I can understand Skye's reaction. She's not a hardened agent like the others. She's just really computer savvy. Plus, she's basically trapped defenseless in a bunker in the middle of nowhere with a skilled killer who she just was getting cozy with. That's kind of a big shock to absorb.

skye pulled herself together pretty quickly

she was having a panic attack, but she was able to put the penny back on the door and play it off with ward

This team that is portrayed as the tip of the spear of SHIELD is her, Fitz and Simmons who are less threatening than her, Ward, then May and Coulson who tend to stay back on missions. It is choices like this that led to SHIELD being like 80% HYDRA. I can't get past it.

They're setting up the return of Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill) to the show.
