This one was really jam packed to completely get my head around it!
I'm glad to see Ward with the team again. *sigh* The good old days.

t: But obviously it can't last. At least he made good his escape due to Simmons botched assassination attempt.
Simmons has really gone off her nut since the first quarter of this season. I mean,I get wanting the character to evolve past the lab-homebody/wallflower that she was first season,but they seem to keep taking her to extremes. Now she's got the blood (or...um dust) of Ralph Bashki on her hands. Kinda sad to see him go out that way,but he served his purpose.
Nice to see Skye get so much action. I still remember the whining about her in the first season. I get amused by the similar whining about Lincoln this season. I guess good looks are the bane of some people.

t:
I see Deathlok is conveniently taken out of action so we don't hear "Why didn't he help fight Ultron?" Now what's the excuse for Daredevil?
I still think Ward's feelings for 33 were genuine. But given what we know about Ward,I think he did what Ward would ultimately do.
Cal kinda got sidetracked this episode and Raina seems to be finally asserting herself.
I'm glad Coulson seems to finally have the upper hand of Gonzales.Kick him out Phil!
"Spoiler alert!" I guess the events in AOU make Fury's "faux death" public knowledge.
I don't know if I could hang with May's attitude during all this. I thought Hunter's quick reconciliation with Mack felt somewhat unearned.
Interesting to see how Phil/Loki's scepter ties into AOU?
I hope that wasn't the extent of Maria Hill's involvement with the show this season.
