I bet the makers of B99 are really soarie, eh?

I could've sworn Amy said POEM Mouth not POLAR.

Hopefully somebody took her down.

The joy on Gina's face when she was using the flamethrower. That's the true meaning of Christmas.

He killed solely for revenge and to get closure this time around.

Yeah, but she didn't actually harm him. Just attempted to harm him.

You're not the person that finds Fitz's love for Simmons creepy, right? I remember there was someone posting on these threads that thought that way, just can't remember the user.

To be fair, I never really hear the term friend zone used in real life, just in media. And I'll admit the ratio of male/female usage for the term friend zone is high on the male end, but I think it's just a case of it needs to be used more for females instead, balancing the whole social equality scale.

Even if we do find out how much of a threat it can be later, I do agree that this wasn't a good first outing of IT if we're supposed to believe it's going to be a major threat. And first impressions (even though I guess technically this is the second) make all the difference.

Is that a thing, where we try to rename SHIELD episodes as Friends episode? Cause I'm up to try to make that a thing.

Yeah, a lot of post interviews seem to be about how Phil crossed to the Dark Side. The Star Wars comparison is actually pretty apt.

Keep on fighting the good fight, but I personally never saw being friend-zoned as a gender specific phrase.

Coulson-May and Fitz-Simmons. And meant the comment as a joke of course.

I think logistically, he also could have killed him earlier like when he spotted Fitz and Will in the first place, and then even if IT took over Ward's corpse there wouldn't have been enough time for IT to escape.

Coulson, Hunter, and Daisy all got shots in. And since Ward's a zombie/pseudo-immortal now, everyone can get their licks in due time.

So my thoughts were that the look was Coulson and Fitz gave each other at the end was a mutual understanding that they will forever be friend-zoned by their respective partners that are hugging them.

Fitz was the only one who can calculate where the portal was going to be, so IT needed Fitz alive and trusting him.

IT doesn't seem to be able to reanimate corpses beyond repair. Don't think Trip's able to come back.

Also, we should really keep Director Mack. As the overly serious character, Director Mack works and it allows him to play to his strengths. Agent Coulson was always meant to be an Agent, not the one calling the shots. It could allow him to not have to play the overly serious character either, especially since we love…

There were a few intentional Star Wars references this episode, and there might be more to it than just cross-promotional material. Coulson's whole character arc these last two episodes was pretty much him doing what Luke didn't do, give in to his Dark Side. And given the look at the end, he might have to deal with…
