Nope, it was weird. Like Angelina and brother weird.

And here I thought all Brits were the model of restraint and courtesy.
I nearly had my eyepiece fall into my Earl Grey when the shouting started.

To be fair, Tony and Michelle were targeted because Tony knew about Jack being alive at the end of season 4, so the idea that Chloe was targeted as well after the end isn't too far fetched. Audrey's husband wants to hand him over to the Russians anyways.
Adrian though really didn't benefit from trying to get Jack

Y'know, the weird thing about him on that show (what little I saw) is how he was always smirking, like he was about to laugh.

Agent Hangnailed!
Agent Piped Piker!
Agent Smirk Dogsniper!

Oh no, don't misunderstand: I'm not looking for a big answer that explains everything, just some of those smaller ones like I mentioned, and you're right, the show does explain some, and it's a refreshingly satisfying moment when that "ah-HA" moment hits. Simon's backstory by and far has been the biggest curiosity in

Total Bull shit if he's not.

Show technicalities aside, it was a bad tactical move on Phil's part.

There's a reason they call them Special Forces: because they're used for special situations, not tracking down domestic fugitives.

So what you're saying is the rescue was orchestrated simply to get them into Lola? Phil was there to subdue Ward and take back the Bus, and Tripp easily could have put on a parachute, just like Skye planned on doing initially.

Look, I get that she tipped them off—my point being that she could have done so much more than that to raise the alarm bell sitting there for an hour. With her l33t hacking skilz, she could have had the National Guard parked outside the front window in that large period of time.

Ah, but as you can see, I too left out mentioning Dealthlok. My point being that even with just the idea of it only being Ward they had to subdue, two is better than one, given Phil's age and build.

Although I know it's a character trait of Benson, I'd wish they'd cut back on him constantly threatening to fire them over every small thing. If I recall correctly, he even threatened to do so if they didn't clean up their room—their own personal space—in "Wall Buddy".
For being such an overbearing control freak, I

I too was amazed they could turn crowdsourced fake money into a story for kids. Remarkable writing on the part of the staff.
And DuckTales just set the gold standard for cartoons in the 90's, full stop.

Most importantly though she wanted Coulson and Company to know what was up and that she was in trouble. She took care of that back at the secret base aplenty. Again though, I could think of a dozen things I could do on the internet to get hellfire to rain down on my location awful quick (and I'm not talking about

Agent Himmler Milkshake

Two things I found a bit troubling this week:
1. Skye was sitting at the computer for over an hour, largely with it facing away from Ward. Since he's not technologically inclined, she could have been doing a hundred things to give someone an idea of where she was. Text messaging Coulson, hacking some forbidden

Even Jerry's not dumb enough to move to Gary.

Jaws 5: The shark'll still look fake.

Where was he all season? I actually let out a yelp of glee when I saw him standing behind Joan when they walked in to Tom's Bistro.
