The episode was excellent, except one thing. In Nothing Personal Maria Hill assisted Talbot in finding a S.H.I.E.L.D. base, and she openly told Coulson that there is no S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore, but now she serves as some sort of a liaison officer between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers. Isn't that a little hypocritical?
Not sure what the Council's status is after SHIELD's fall from Winter Soldier, though. The WSC members from WS (save for the one that Black Widow impersonated) all died, if memory serves.
Going by how Coulson approached Gonzales, it's safe to assume that whatever the hell's on the Iliad cargo hold is still there, so it's likely not the Scepter.
RIP BakshiI didn't see that coming. Dammit Simmons!
Also RIP The Bus. You were pretty cool.
Loved Skye's single take action scene. That was quality (though a bit too dark, I need to rewatch it on a better television)
The actress who plays Skye's mom is really beautiful. I hope nothing terrible happens to her although I'm afraid it will. I want to see the Hyde Out I know is coming but not at the expense of Skye's fam. I would like to keep them both around for awhile, even if in occasional guest roles.
I've enjoyed Fitz & Hunter's interactions. Coulson & May's argument was a well-done scene also.
Ward was great. Hope he shows up again soon.
I think that's all. This episode = awesome
There's an Age of Ultron prelude comic "This Scepter'd Isle" that explains how Strucker acquired the scepter.Is it that something is actively in the cargo hold of the ship or that something was in the cargo hold that night? I was thinking maybe it was Loki's Scepter and this was when Baron Von Strucker acquired it.
What a fun episode. So many good things and a great lead into AoU which I'll be seeing tomorrow. I like that Coulson has assembled the Avengers once again. Skye's John Wick scene was well shot and well done, even if it was a bit dark and some unnecessary speedups were used. Some great lines as well with the Sonic reference and Coulson's mic drop to Gonzalez.
That whole briefing room scene was great from being Ward being called Candyman and getting called out on his ********. I love how unapologetic he was for everything he did and is all "just like old times guys."
It was also good to see Fitz and Simmons acting like they used to be, especially with Fitz showing off with how he had to be pulled off Ward by Hunter...lol.
RIP The Bus, will definitely miss it...
Whiskey where you been?
Granted however, countries usually have established lines of succession for such scenarios.
Even in the comics, the SHRA was done only in the United States. I don't think the World Council (most of whom are now dead from an organization that is now dead) is a necessary player.
I hope Coulson got all of his collection off the bus beforehand.RIP The Bus, will definitely miss it...

It's in his office in the playground
The Avengers were already assembled and fighting against Hydra.I like that Coulson has assembled the Avengers once again.
The Avengers were already assembled and fighting against Hydra.
But yeah, nice to see Coulson give them very good intel.
