Jemma is the show’s sweetest character & always has the darkest and most tragic storylines, which obviously is brutally unfair. And yet Elizabeth Henstridge always makes it work so beautifully that I can’t entirely hate the show for it

A near perfect episode with a beautiful final scene, ruined by the inane decision to end it on Gooby and Blabla, boring villains that give zero real connection to the history of AoS or the characters in it, those characters being the exact strength of this episode. Sousa has only been in this show for a couple of…
I feel like we’ve had enough episodes SHOWING us how great Daisy is. This isn’t like S1 where there was a bit too much telling.
Easily... EASILY... one of the best episodes of the show’s entire history (the only niggling misstep being more of the heavy-handed “tell don’t show” about how great Daisy is... sorry, but she’s no Peggy Carter).
Firstly well done Elizabeth. A fantastically directed episode.
I figured Fitz was dead from the 1st episode this season. Which, eh, though the idea of Fitzsimmons is heart warming, it has NEVER felt realized enough to continue to root for it. More of a frustration I don’t want to hear about anymore, because it never adds up. The show never had them on the same romantic wavelength…
Great funny lines, but Enoch got me the most with “Oh dear.”
We got a version of that with their attempts to get past Enoch.
and making a lovely point about how people like her will always need support from people like him.
“If you die you forget what you learned” was a nice little update to the rules of the genre that added some stakes without changing the basic format.
I think it’s kind of a sad testament to how bad Daisy has been burned throughout her life that this dude she’s barely known being real nice had to be questioned so thoroughly. At least she seemed satisfied with the answer.
You’re just saying that so she doesn’t try to murder you with her inner Ringu monster
I’ll call it here, Fitz ain’t dead, he’s raising their child/children. There’s no way they kill him off screen, movie or not and just show flashback. I’d say the reason she cried is she knows what she has given up to save the day. It may the only way she could get through it, blocking memories of her child/children.
I honestly did not expect Enoch’s death to impact me so much (especially after the great laugh of him pulling out his ‘heart’) so kudos to the writing team. Especially to Henstridge as well - if this is her first time directing it’s a hell of an entry in her CV and a feather in her cap.
I don’t think that Daisy is a game-player, I have to think the kiss meant something real to her, though she knew that he wouldn’t remember so it didn’t commit her to anything. I did think it was funny that she was so confused by why Souza was worried about her & waiting outside her pod-thing. Uh, he likes you, who…
Unfortunately, because they actually put a time limit on this time loop, there was not enough time for Daisy to go golfing through the Stargate.
“Don’t touch the phlebotinum!”
“Phlebotinum” is a term invented in the Buffy writers room by David Greenwalt. So, this is a Whedon family callback.
I just think it’s weird you need to be awake for this.
Enoch was right...this is their final mission together. Last season...final mission. Cherish what is left...it’s too little. :(
What an absolutely fantastic episode! I did NOT anticipate needing that many tissues though. Enoch gives his life for Our Team yet again...just like he did in the future. What a fantastic…
