I was kinda thinking Coulson has Bob doing deep cover again, like she did inside Hydra, but I guess with Coulson & May both concluding Mac is dirty, that’s out. I knew May wasn’t buying Mac’s excuses anymore.
Got kinda burned out on Adama, so he makes a good bad guy this time.
Did someone forget to Gordon-proof Skye’s little compound? Oops. Maybe shoulda given that two thoughts.
Talbot cracks me up.
“Get down on the ground now!”
“Honey!”
Talbot knows the mask can impersonate a male. That was sloppy.
Actually, the mask only affects the facial features and body type. It does not change clothing. Talbot was right to guess that intruder (who he saw was wearing unmistakably women’s clothing) would likely be a woman or wearing female attire.
What was unrealistic was the fact she changed so quickly into chubby airman’s uniform, what with everyone running about.
So in a previous episode, it appeared that Coulson has a list of every single SHIELD asset and agent, and their status after the Hydra incident. Did this aircraft carrier and hundreds (thousands?) of agents somehow not make it onto the list?
And I know “black gear with a helmet” is pretty standard, but man, those SHIELD guards did look like they walked right off the Galactica set.
OK episode, not great. Nice to see Ward back - there’s really no way the audience is ever going to trust him again. He’s clearly lying to Agent 33 (his remarks about his family) and the only question is “Is he lying to himself?” With the discussion about how his former handler (spacing his name) molded him into a killer you have to wonder what he’s molding Agent 33 into? I assume it’s for his own ends. And they’ve killed several people including the guy who helped with the mask and several guards, so they’re not really redeemable. Interesting comments he made about Skye, but either he’s secretly still in love with her or planning his revenge on her.
Watching this with my wife she remarked that everything the SHIELD v2.0 agents were saying was true. She is actually rooting for them, not Coulson. Not hard to see how people can pick sides.
In her own way I really think Simmons is trying to do what’s best for Skye. I predict that she’s going to make a stand somewhere down the road and it’s going be to defend Skye.
My gut feel is that Bobbi is a double agent for Coulson, but that doesn’t seem likely.
He may have had a list of their status but that doesn’t mean they stayed put.
Not all of them or even a significant number went with Coulson. As seen at the end of Cap 2- Sharon went to the CIA. Hill went to Stark. I’m sure a lot of them went different ways. Coulson picked up ones that wanted to stay SHIELD. This SHIELDv3 probably scooped up anyone else or has even been recruiting.
There is no character named Adama in this show. You mean Robert Gonzales (Edward James Olmos)?
In any case Adama was played by Lorne Greene, who passed in 1987.
I think Bobbi sorta figured that the rest of an elite covert agency stationed on a boat in the middle of nowhere could probably stop one guy before he got away.
Paul Giamatti’s line from *Shoot 'em Up * comes to mind:
I was wondering if Angry Hey-It’s-That-Guy playing Adama’s lieutenant was part an Adama goodcop/badcop to test Bobbi.
So, was this just a SHIELD aircraft carrier, or does Adama have the SHIELD helicarrier? Either way, you’d think someone would’ve kept track of that thing. Maybe bring up its whereabouts in the Congressional hearings that Natasha had to go to.
