That reminds me, I did like the callback to "Fear is a superpower" from "Listen."

I think Ganymede was just the name of the mining company, which could mean anything.

I really should do a watch in River-Song order sometime.

IIRC, they were from the first galaxy and had already been left in the dust by the time the show ended, when they were hip-deep in the Drone's galaxy. The impression I got was that there wouldn't be any ongoing adversaries for more than half a season or so as the ship would always end up outrunning them. Well, no…

The Doctor probably learned to type from Mavis Beacon herself.

He was making robot-noises when he moved in earlier episodes, but it seems likely he's still got his original head.

Doctor Who has rarely, if ever, come close to matching its US and Canadian equivalents in visual effects. Back when the revival started, it certainly wasn't out-shining Battlestar Galactica, Enterprise, or any of the Stargates, and let's not even talk about the classic era.

The Toclafane never came back in time, but as far as I can tell, they still existed in the far future. The reset was because the Master was using the TARDIS to hold together two contradictory histories; one where the human race was enslaved and exterminated by him in the 21st century, and one where humanity survived,…

They didn't say how far they were in the future, but civilization certainly didn't as pathetic and withered as it was in the last days before the heat-death of the universe. And it'd be kind of impressive for capitalism to last a hundred trillion years, only going into the history books just before history books do.

It's not about the oxygen (well, it's a bit about the oxygen); it's cheaper to murder the low-preforming crew than it is to fire them. If you fire them, they'll be sitting around on your station, eating your food, breathing your air… you have to send a ship to get them, or have them take up space that should be going…

Well, an episode like this, there's literally no date markers. They don't even say where they are in space; the fact that they've got an alien on the team implies it's an interstellar people, but maybe they're in the asteroid belt during a Defiance-style period where humanity hasn't left the solar system, but aliens…

I think having it be off-screen avoided retreading the end of "The Almost People."

It's probably because you don't see it at all in humans (and rarely in other Earth animals). Even your yellows, reds, and even greens are still in the same general section of the color wheel as real skin tones, but nobody has ever seen a blue guy that wasn't playing the drums.

Last episode, they said it had been ten days since the LMD attack on SHIELD. So, that long for Jemma and Daisy, a day or two more for Mace, Coulson, and Mack (and Fitz, though there were some clues that he was replaced earlier), and who knows how long for May.

It’s the perfect way to bring over good-guy Ward, people.

I laughed, partially because it was played funny, and partially out of relief because I was afraid they were going to throw another Monsterous Fling into the middle of FitzSimmons, but it was also nervous and high-strung laughter, because I knew she wasn't on her way to taking it well.

There are a handful of episodes of television I've seen that felt like they stretched time and made the hour last longer, but none as much as this. When Coulson and May fought off the two robots, I was thinking, "We're getting near the end of the episode, this is one of those table-setting part-1 episodes that just…

4 Non Blondes cover band.

…and why the heck do aliens have Earth-human names like Marcus?

The "how" is actually pretty straightforward and well-documented.
