Hey guys! With Charles off acting and me home in my underwear, I am going to be taking over the write along this week. You’ve had two weeks of guest writers but rest assured, Charles will be back next week. For now, let’s get to it.
And here we go.
And I thought American street mimes were bad.
I wish David Blaine had just said ‘fuck it, I’ll just shoot fire out of my hand’ during Street Magic.
Chosen for Hydra? Please be from Hydra…Someone just say HYDRA for goddsakes
HandsomeFace McSuper Agent trains with Battleship.
‘Poking around in the dark’ isn’t just how this guy plays Battleship, ladies.
Did Coulson used to hit that?
SHIELD has an index…foreshadowing for Registration? Seems a bit early for Civil War but we could be seeing a long game getting set up here.
SHIELD Totally does body probes.
Cyberpunks. Heh.
Uh oh the Rising Tide…maybe they are in with HYDRA. The Hydra of myth WOULD need the tide to rise..cause it is a big sea monster. Come back guys, I’m sorry…
First commercial break.
No beer because work tonight. Boo.
Hacktiviest? Certainly is hacky.
Handsomeface believes here for no good reason at all. I am surprised Skye hasn’t been thrown out of the jet yet.
SAY HYDRA
HYDRA SAY IT
Ah the old Achilles bargain. Leave and you will live a long life but no one will remember you, stay and fight and die a legend.
Scorch? Really? Is he meant to be the new Human Torch? Human Scorch? If Namor shows up I will shit myself.
Austin? Harry Knowles is working for Rising Tide?
Hansomeface is too handsome not to be a secret agent and makes hackers flee.
Hacker has a traffic app on his phone. Why doesn’t SHIELD have that?
Skye might be in on this? Oh no she isn’t. Wait…maybe she is…
Uh oh, they are going to hack the bedsheets…
2nd Commercial break
Skye is apparently hiding memory cards in her bra.
Hacker really wants to make a joke about her being screwed. He is both a hack and a hacker. Am I being hacky for making that joke again?
WHOOOOPS. BUSTED!
Coulson is not amused. Hell yeah. I am glad they did not let this slide.
Coulson is a badass.
Simmons is disappointing me.
I love this episode.
I love when smug characters who think the good guys are chumps get pinched because the good guys aren’t chumps. I also love when the good guys aren’t chumps.
Better fire through chemistry.
SAY MOTHERFUCKING HYDRA
Throwing fire is always a good idea in a chemistry lab.
May doesn’t do petty. Then she does petty.
Coulson’s gut is telling him that he shouldn’t eat so much Schwarma.
One MILLION dollars.
Rich girls in flowered dresses who know everything about you should probably never be trusted.
HUMAN centipedes?
More Extremis experamentation.
Uh oh. Nothing good ever comes from ‘Drain him’
3rd commercial break
Centipede? Really? Come on you guys, just make it HYDRA.
‘You said I had a gift’ ‘and you’re giving it’ COLD.
Handsomeface is side lined. Boom.
Hacker doesn’t know what words mean apparently.
“SHIELD is bad because they keep secrets. I am good because I sold secrets to terrorists.’ Seems legit.
May looks like she is ready to bust some ghosts.
Coulson is so driven that he isn’t worried about a gun or body armor. And why bother when you can punch out scientists….oh because douche bags who shoot fire. Right.
4th commercial break
It really depresses me that Shark Tank isn’t about a tank with sharks in it.
Not sure why Coulson being in trouble means Skye gets set free. What is she going to hack the fire out of him?
Handsomeface doesn’t like Hackerface.
I dig the naming callback.
Handsomeface is kicking ass. No word on taking names.
Skye is kicking hack.
Bad Luck Sally is about to get fucked up.
Good to see Joss found another use for the vampire dusting effect.
Coulson using the guy they were there to save as an Extremis bomb was pretty hardcore.
Coulson thinks there may be a chance to save Skye. I kind of think he should boot her ass out but since she is the audience surrogate we are stuck with her.
Hacker just got lowjacked and kicked out on the streets of Hong Kong. Nice.
You’ve changed. You’re not who you used to be. Also you now have the clap. LIFEHACK!
Couson goes hard!
Skye gives up her deets. Turns out her parents disappeared and had to do with SHIELD.
Coulson knows something and he might help but in the meantime, here’s a lowjack.
Last commercial break
Mentallo?
Clairvoyant? Who are they talking about?
Another solid episode. Agents of SHIELD is starting to ramp up and get into some good stuff. The first few world building episodes are finally starting to pay off with some episodes with some real meat. I like the intrigue they are building but at the same time I would really like someone to just say HYDRA already. Next week looks interesting with a string of super powered murders. I like the interesting variety of cases this team can work on. Alright, thanks for reading. Charles will be back next week.

I can’t express how much the word “hacktivist” makes me want to eat a lollipop made of my own poop. A lollipoop.
Good summary man, had the same thought about Mentallo. Hopefully they are using some standard characters since they won’t call HYDRA out by name yet. Although if the are using Extremis maybe they are an offshoot of AIM and the big brain is MODOK.
