Playing Battleship is an allegory for “guess my secret”. (or, “Where’s your weak spot?”) ---

> [@shijinn](#): > > which she kept on during sex. together with her memory card which did not fall out. oh yeah, those curly laces aren’t going to distract me from my nitpicks. nope. Yep, I was nitpicking during that scene too, until she grinned - I am a sucker for a gorgeous smile - that’s when my brain simply shut down. ---

> [@GuanoLad](#): > > She was putting her bra on after the sexy times, and it’s probably got a little pocket in it. Yeah, the first shot back from commercial break is her putting her bra straps back on. She’s pretty clearly been naked while the rest of us were watching Hyundai commercials, and has just started getting dressed again. Her boyfriend still wearing his shorts in bed is a bit harder to justify. ---

I’m guessing he didn’t finish taking them off in time. ---

In an amusing coincidence, Shannon Lucio was also a guest star on this week’s episode of “Supernatural”, which, around here, aired immediately after “Agents of SHIELD”. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=pricciar] And, who didn’t see them playing a game coming with the super serious words that started that scene off? [/quote] Particularly since that is exactly how they ENDED the previous episode, with tech geek & agent guy playing cards. [QUOTE=pricciar] It’s too bad they killed the bad guy off so quickly. He already had such a great catch phrase “Almost got SCORCHED!” [/quote] First rule of survival in a superhero universe: If you don’t have the body, it’s not dead, and even then… Given that this is the Marvel universe, for all we know, that ball of fire that came out of the top of the building WAS Scorch (remember The Claw, before the Dazzler ate him?). ---
