I also liked the exchange with Mac trying to help Fitz come up with the word he's looking for:<br /><br />Fitz: "Um well the last the last time that I saw him, - he was, um"<br />Mac: - "Angry? On drugs? - Uh friendly? Sleeping?"<br />Fitz: "Yeah."<br />Mac: "Sleeping?"<br />Fitz: "No. What the one go back one."<br />Mac: "Friendly? - Friendly."<br />Fitz: "Um uh no, he had trouble making friends."<br /><br />I thought Mac throwing out random adjectives was funny. I was expecting him to say "hungry" next.<br /><br />By the way, I know what it's like to have word-finding problems, and it's incredibly frustrating. I second the gold acting star for Iain De Caestecker for expressing that frustration without using words.Mariannahttp://www.mariannahorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-22914762833135520752014-10-12T13:15:36.620-04:002014-10-12T13:15:36.620-04:00I am currently watching this show solely for Fitz ...I am currently watching this show solely for Fitz and Simmons (separately or together, whichever). I absolutely love that they're doing a full, in depth story on some of the possible medical consequences of the sort of thing that happens to the heroes in these shows all the time. Even if Fitz eventually recovers or gets some magic sci-fi cure, the fact they've addressed the issue is amazing (must have been guilt for all those years of whacking Giles on the head with no apparent ill effect!)Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-37569347901823406922014-10-12T04:33:15.540-04:002014-10-12T04:33:15.540-04:00I love that Skype does actually work with both Sco...I love that Skype does actually work with both Scottish and English accented people already in FitzSimmons and STILL can't apparently tell the difference?! Especially as Lance has a similar accent to Jemma...!<br /><br />If we're going with movie references, he does basically sound like he just walked out of a Guy Ritchie film to be fair...<br /><br />I kind of want to know who his ex- wife is though?! He's mentioned her two episodes in a row, and didn't she introduce him to Lucy Lawless' character? Seems a bit like she's involved in the plot somewhere.<br /><br />If you'd told me this time last year I'd be this interested in SHIELD, I seriously wouldn't have believed you. The improvement in the quality of this show is incredible, such a shame they had to waste so much time in the first season being pretty damn awful.jencathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06760127090293409589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-62701539531174900492014-10-11T09:08:57.925-04:002014-10-11T09:08:57.925-04:00Definitely a fun review and set of comments. And ...Definitely a fun review and set of comments. And I agree this was another strong episode. I was really happy to spend time with Real Simmons, even though I never for one second believed she was doing anything other than working an undercover mission for Coulson. It was still great to see her in action, and I loved the little reprise of the father-daughter dynamic Coulson and Simmons played on the "train job" episode. He seemed more relaxed and like himself talking with her about her poor diet than he has all season.<br /><br />But my favorite part was the Fitz and Ward confrontation. Agree completely that it was one of the best scenes of the episode. Iain De Caestecker really did knock it out of the park.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to Trip getting his chance to shoot Hunter. :) And Skye owes him one too.

And we do not rampantly promote xenophobia on anyone who's not a straight white Christian male: we will accept people of any race, gender and religion as long as they help us kill those pesky SHIELD do-gooders. And while we indulge in the occasional brainwashing, we do not do it 24/7 in the same massive scale as FOX NEWS. I mean, we even tried to get some undercover agents there, but one week working under Billy O'Reilly and those agents just walked away in disgust (and these are people who take hostages for a living, mind you!)<br />I hope we have made things clear.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />HYDRA's P.R. departmentAgent_of_HYDRAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-5163422112241454452014-10-10T09:07:10.146-04:002014-10-10T09:07:10.146-04:00I loved this review, Mark.
