If you're going to post a spoiler just go all out and say it. Because the only way this isn't a spoiler us if people are stupid.

From the mouths of babes. I've been racking my brain and I can't figure it out.

Someone speculated he knew Elliot before we see them "meet".

Elliot referred to the character as her so I think trans. But Elliot is going through some things mentally.

I was dying to know what happened with the therapist, which became so unimportant with everything that did happen. And I'm sure she'll come back up. If I binged, I'd be distracted and annoyed that we didn't get an answer on that right away. Or that it jumped a month after Shayla's death.

I don't think he talked to Angela about his father dying. However, at Gideon's party, she said she knows Elliot through his father dying. That was after he left the party in shock over the tv report. So it's not from his point of view as an unreliable narrator. Knowing Angela also knows Darlene, who would have told…

I'm not surprised that Helena forgave Mrs. S. Remember her feelings about mothers. She killed her birth mother because she betrayed her to the Prolethians. She called Dr. Coady a bad mother for what she was doing to Parsons. Sure, she's mad Mrs. S. betrayed her, but she respects that she betrayed her for Sarah and…

In fact, the last time I remember him struggling a little is when he first had to work with Ward again. So at least a little of the issue was PTSD.

Well, remember, even Skye got and Raina got covered in …crust before they came back as Inhumans. It's possible that Coulson would have been fine. Mack just didn't want to take the chance.

I don't think we're supposed to read it as he came around. I think it was a fake out where we think he's running to rat her out when he's really getting to the DNA results first.

Maybe he wanted to give the boss enough time to get away for plausible deniability.

Crabbie?

The finale fell a bit flat for me, but I admit to being hooked into watching next season by that ending. I also don't buy Paige and Mike. I really think he has better chemistry with Charlie.

Does that really matter though? There's repecting cultural differences, and then there's cultural relativism. I repsect his methods as much as I respect female circumcision or stoning someone to death.  Not at all.

But what is cable going to do to make up for the cheap network content that makes them profitable? USA has some great shows. But I'm guessing much of their money comes from endless NCIS marathons or they would be showing reruns from their own shows.

I know this comment is late but…
