I'll leave it to someone else to post pics and a recap...but just want to say this episode finally kicked it back up to where I was hoping the show would be, after a couple somewhat bedraggled few episodes post-hiatus.
I liked Bill Paxton's character, he didn't seem as one-dimensionally, cartoonishly bureaucrat-douche as other SHIELD top agents we've seen before. It finally got a little more authentically "comic book" feel after having strayed dangerously close to what felt more like a "regular-world" procedural drama at times. It gave us more satisfying on-screen answers, didn't feel as cop-out in terms of teasing things and then just delivering more questions.
And Skye spent the whole time unconscious
I'm really enjoying the "badassification" of Fitz, if that's the right neologism...I think they're handling it in a very realistic way. He's not the awkward scientist who's useless with a gun until he gets one lucky shot, nor the reluctant pacifist-scientist, and neither is he a super Mary Jane soldier-genius. He reminds me more and more of Daniel Jackson from Stargate - practical, rational, unflustered.
I really just hope that, much like episode-numbers-as-addresses in Grimm, they dont make every episode name an A.C.R.O.N.Y.M., that'll get super annoying super fast
