That was Pete from Warehouse 13, right?

I thought it strange that the first thing May and Sif thought when they were talking about stealing nitrogen was "Maybe he needs it to breathe?" and "No, only 7 intelligent species require heightened levels of nitrogen gas." Isn't Earth's atmosphere 78% nitrogen? I mean, ya, it turns out that he didn't need it to breathe, but they first thought he did, and threw down the idea not because Earth already has heightened levels of nitrogen gas, but because only a few species actually need it...

I saw a frumpy looking blue collar guy with a metal stick fighting toe to toe with an Asgardian and my first thought was that it was the Wrecker. Kree was a nice touch, though I think when you consider just all that the team has gone through with them their reaction was a little tepid. Also, we need more scenes of Poots shooting herself in the face. I feel very strongly for this.

I'd have personally liked it if it were Dr. Samson as the therapist. That's not to say I didn't like this Original Character Donut Steel, but it's the little touches. Though I did enjoy the Angar the Screamer introduction. The birds were a really nice touch. Really dig obscure references, though tossing in a few well knowns certainly has it's appeal. Anyway, I am hoping that there is an eventual SpoilerHyde transformation.

Or, you know, just surgically removing the surgically added blades. Heck, you could see the little bolts they were attached to that ran into her fingers. That kinda made me wonder as well. Still a pretty good episode though.

I'd have been amused by corks, like on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

If they had shown the metal parts being part of her hands it would have been better. This did not look like it would be hard to remove.

But the "the real SHIELD" part as well as Mr. NoEyes organization was intriguing and the episode overall entertaining. I hope they don't drag Skye becoming familiar with her powers out too long. As of now it's still okay but I don't want that to be a story arc for 10+ episodes.

I think Talbot was the only part of the last episode I enjoyed. In his utter lack of security procedures. Even in this world lacking super powers I wouldn't just wave my wife through security, and he lives in the Marvel universe and is aware of the face change mask technology.

This season is feeling a lot like season one did before Winter Soldier. Kind of like they're waiting for one big spoiler before really unleashing it's full potential. Oh, I guess Fitz and Simmons discussing the different categories of powers was kind of a subtle hint towards Age of Ultron. Either way, kind of slow.

I didn't realize what it was until she said "The house that Banner built". Then I was all "Oh, duh, stupid me."

Same thought I had. It's like "Um... Aren't you guys the ones sneaking around and being all covert?". Not sure if this really is just a case of people being stupid, of if there's something else nefarious going on. My guess is the latter, but you never know.

To be fair, they dress in normal, civilians clothes when they are on a mission in the show. At least when these missions take place in populated areas.

Loved the Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid reference. The return of Deathlok was unexpected to me and he has not whined about his son yet, so there's that. Mostly setting the stage for things to come but that's okay if they don't drag it out too long.

Have I slept through the explanation as to why SpoilerSkyes mother is still alive? Sure she dropped that one line about Cal piecing her back together, but come on! Didn't he himself talk repeatedly about her death and his need to avenge her murder by Whitehall? Also, if she still lives after being dissected, shouldn't we be worried about a return of Whitehall? Can anybody please stay dead in the MCU? Not a fan of this.
