This is my first introduction to him, and he reminds me a lot of the actor who plays Rumpilstiltskin on Once Upon a Time. Every time he’s on screen he steals the scene and he also completely OWNS his character ---

Yeah, he’s a great actor. I’ve enjoyed every role he’s played over the years, since I first saw in him Dune. ---

Another question waiting for an answer: Who did Mike’s armor upgrades? Koenig Brother #4? ---

Deathlok was probably upgraded with Starktech. We know that Maria Hill is sending funding to Coulson already. ---

> [@levdrakon](#): > > Wonder who the elders are. Black Bolt? Medusa? Judging by Love Interest Boy’s reaction to Skye’s teacher, I’d say Skye’s Mom is an elder. She’s certainly older… > [@WordMan](#): > > Oh, and: “with a light pesto aioli” - Nice. So Fitz is back up to speed from his brain trauma? I am not challenging it - plots have to keep moving, regardless of medical accuracy - just trying to clarify. Yeah, I noticed that he was noticeably non-stumbly in this episode. Maybe it was an _I, Claudius_ sort of thing so they’d let him walk out without checking his bag for the specific thing they invaded the entire base for? I just noticed this week that Adrianne Palicki just _towers_ over Elizabeth Henstridge. I realize, she’s like 7" taller and wearing heels, but if you painted her green, I’d totally buy her as She-Hulk. Do we know the guy’s name is spelled List and not Liszt? > [@MrDibble](#): > > Anyone else think it’s telling that we don’t see the driver of that cab? Yep, my thought was “Enjoy your last sandwich as a free man, buddy…” ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Another question waiting for an answer: Who did Mike’s armor upgrades? Koenig Brother #4? And Episode 17 answers that question: Coulson. Nice to see they are giving answers as often as they are raising questions. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/agents-of-s-h-i-e-l-d-s02e16-afterlife/717085.md?page=3)
