I think Simmons said something about hearing Daisy fight after she already retruned to the team. Let's hope the next episode explains where the real ones are.<br /><br />Ivanov was fun in that he's the villian version of the little orphan who got his village burned and then looks for the warlord who did it to kill him and the warlord doesn't even remember what village it was. :)Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-67243976492382627652017-02-20T17:35:51.594-05:002017-02-20T17:35:51.594-05:00Maybe they released some kind of gas that knocked ...Maybe they released some kind of gas that knocked them out? I don’t know. With you guys nitpicking, now I’m wondering why they didn’t replace Fitzsimmons too. It’s not like they didn’t have a chance, especially with Fitz, who was left alone.<br /><br />migmit, the Russian reports are really cool. :)<br /><br />Marianna, if this is the final season, I hope there is at least a cameo of Bobbi and Hunter.<br /><br />sunbunny, it could still be. Maybe Fitzsimmons were captured and we were watching them inside the Framework.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-52665606782121702412017-02-20T16:09:59.013-05:002017-02-20T16:09:59.013-05:00I agree with migmit that it's unrealistic that...I agree with migmit that it's unrealistic that the great Quake would go down so easily when she's expecting a fight as opposed to May who was taken by surprise. I would like to see how that happened. Also there was another agent, Morales, who went in with Coulson and then immediately disappeared and no one seemed to notice.<br /><br />Nitpicking aside, I'm excited about what I'm assuming will be focusing on my two favorite characters! What I would like is for FitzSimmons to call Bobbi and Hunter for help, but I don't have high hopes for that.Mariannahttp://www.mariannahorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-38094508615189453872017-02-20T03:20:27.965-05:002017-02-20T03:20:27.965-05:00Skyenet!

I laughed loudly when one of the underlings addressed the Superior as "shef" — "chief", in Russian — and the subtitles translated this as "Superior". Sure, that's technically correct, but "chief" is a semi-informal, friendly way to address one's boss, while "The Superior" is more like a nobleman's title.<br /><br />Russian writings were also hit and miss. On one container it was written «Хрупкое» — "Fragile", which is correct. But the big sign over the entrance to this factory was entirely wrong — it spelled, to the best of my memory, «добывающая Барков компания», which they clearly intended to mean "Barkov mining company", but what they actually wrote was more like "Company, mining Barks".<br /><br />Coulson speaking broken Russian doesn't count — his Russian was bad in-universe. One thing stands out though — in Russian the UN is called "OON", pronounced like "oh-on". Not like "you-en".<br /><br />OK, back to the episode. For some reason, it left me cold. I guess it's about wrong expectations. I expected — feared, actually — that Ivanov would be the major villain, and that this episode would try to establish his villain-y. Which would be bad, because, well, nobody cares about him. And it looked like they were going in that direction. Thankfully, that was cancelled; but as I mentioned somewhere else, a plot twist doesn't repair the plot before it, it just adds another one.<br /><br />Speaking of twists, four (now five) LMDs confused me. Are they saying that Coulson, Daisy, and Mack were just captured? Without making some noise? I mean — Quake, silently grabbed with no structural damage to the building? Really?<br /><br />And why exactly was Skyenet injured? The real Skye was, sure, in a fight with Superior whatever, but there was nobody to tell about it? Or was it Skyenet already? But then we have to conclude that Radcliff managed to reproduce her powers. Which by itself is a BIG game changer, much bigger than four major operatives of S.H.I.E.L.D. being compromised.migmithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981055611018991476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-15498875954326931082017-02-19T17:00:05.664-05:002017-02-19T17:00:05.664-05:00I watched this review after I saw just the top of ...I watched this review after I saw just the top of your review (the "holy twist" bit) and I kept expecting the big twist to be that they were all in the Framework.
