This is my least favorite episode, but it's still fun. It was the most sitcommy, I guess that's why.

Not to mention still working with Abrams here.

A woman would be an intriguing lead, tbh. But Urban is great here, if underutilized.

I really enjoyed it, and if the twist is as ludicrous as you say, I hope it doesnt go in that direction. Its a standard procedural in a world with some sci fi concepts, a la Alien Nation more than Blade Runner.

I am guessing more Lily Taylor.

I have to say that the jab at themselves (the constant delays of the South Park game, developed in California) was great.

When was the last time Cam and Mitchell kissed on screen?

On diversity, should be pointed out that Hand is a lesbian in the comics, not sure if that'll go to a Disney produced ABC family show…

I lost it at "Ludd is at the center of this dicentralized group"

So that hostage showdown. More about how much more convincing Robert Sean Leonard is than what'shername, also one of the worst moments of TV law enforcement I've ever seen. Moreso the lecture from the Captain after. All to establish her willingness to shoot later. Because that's not really a thing in FBI training.

PRetty sure Centipede IS AIM. I mean, the suits. Im pretty sure it's MODOK too.

I honestly believe it's an episode out of Family Ties, including the "it's our fault for being progressive parents" line, though there's no Alex P. Keaton to balance it all out.

@Prankster36:disqus which will tie in nicely to The Cabin in the Woods

@avclub-09003437660bdbc6e3db945754c2c844:disqus Yeah, I was wrong.  The Centipede is a secret project by a secret group that we don't know the name of yet.

@avclub-b7345a96d3fbcd3746d624805f429852:disqus You are correct :)  However, Rising Tide attracted the attention of these people, as RT leaked the location of a mcguffin early on, and we're lead to believe that these guys are Rising Tide.

For a secret organization, they sure put their logo on everything.

IM3 ended with AIM mentioning a "new buyer" for Extremis at the end.

I think Mime could be lower than TV, but also one of the highest performance arts out there, depending on ability, craft, creativity - and well - what elevates any art but its audience?

Iron Man 3 kept referring to a "new buyer" at the end, Agents of Shield talks about a "mysterious investor" behind Rising Tide.

@avclub-ef062084a1c4a3584af1d4f8e514ea50:disqus So you're thinking the whole team (or just Coulson) is a Hydra infiltrator?
