He has run out of girls to sleep with for the moment. Sad Ollie :(

Not to mention that Laurel was told she was a nut for doing the same thing re: Brother Blood.

So, moving on to the Amy Acker/Blackout episode. Since Coulson's life has been so carefully controlled, any bets on Acker being Moondragon? Since Moondragon controlled Blackout and Acker can play crazy so well?

I think that's kind of her deal from the comics.

Because Ollie would probably try to sleep with her.

Punchy!

In all fairness, the last time she did that was with Brother Blood and everyone told her she was crazy. So, she's learned something.

They're trying to show you she is smart.

Yeah, it was a rape-off, villains vs superheroes. Ick.

I would be so jazzed if they did an GA/Flash crossover of the Iron Heights storyline in a few seasons.

They're saving that for Season 6.

Slade will be undone by underestimating Oliver. He's pretty smug (see shock arrow).

But in AOS, it's never the direct result of whoever has the movie, just indirect. Like, the Clairvoyant is not Zola, but SHIELD fell. So, maybe Strange may be indirectly involved, but I think it's more likely it was the Kree-in-a-bottle.

It can be. Rayna showed they're trying to replicate what happened to Coulson, clearly showing that Coulson's revival was probably in service of something, but a fluke.
Captain Pureheart got Mar-Velled.

She certainly thinks it wasn't Fury. So if it was SHIELD, at the time, it might as well be HYDRA.
That HYDRA doesn't know how it happened IS another mystery. Which makes me think they weren't sure that Coulson could be revived, they experimented on him, but he WAS, and now they can't recreate it.
Which leads me to…

Does it seem like Skye has powers of persuasion?

I think the first part is definitely the case. But I think it wasn't an icer.

Pretty sure May said that it wasn't Nick, it was HYDRA who were responsible and that Nick put the team on him in case he was compromised.
Garrett obviously has his own agenda. He told Coulson he doesn't even like HYDRA.

Yeah, but I think it's because he felt the reasons were good and felt comfortable not being the one making the calls, which was why he was a company man. But now, he can't be.

The point of a Manchurian Candidate is that they are groomed without their knowledge. Garrett knew Ward from a very early age, and could've groomed him from that point, similar to Fury/Tasha.
