I could lose May, but if we lost Coulson again I'd pretty much be done. He's practically the entire reason many of us gave these other crummy characters a shot in the first place. I love FitzSimmons but would not be able to take a team essentially run by Ward seriously.
No more interruptions for the rest of the season. They basically had to keep taking breaks so that the last 6 episodes would line up with running continuously after the release of The Winter Soldier. It's a weird strategy that I'm sure affected their viewership levels a bit, but if the tie-in/post-TWS story they've been waiting to tell is compelling enough it will probably be worth it.

If anyone answers this question they'll be my favorite person.
Should I watch the NEXT episode before or after Captain America?
Also I like the fact that I even have to make that decision. Feels like the show is finally going somewhere. Actually it feels like the whole season has been a set up for the past few episodes.

There is no question, after is the only way. They need to have a recap of the Cap movie before the next episode cause the entire show will never be the same again.
It's insane what they are doing and now the entire point of creating a show makes sense. Marvel is brilliant.

So the clairvoyant was basically
EDIT: Should have read the last page.
Arnim Zola right?
EDIT: Should have read the last page.
It would explain why they never tried to make it a traditional mystery.
Good episode. But goddamn, if there's a season 2, please stop at 13 to 15 episodes. This is one of the rare ABC dramas where almost every episode feels like a slog to watch. Even shows with lesser stakes and mythology like Mistresses has got Agents beat. Mistresses is awesome summer TV btw.
Well, best episode yet. Finally moving somewhere, and seeing the rest of shield made it seem like a real operation was going on. Seems like the tie ins to the next movie is strong, which is the type of thing that made it seem like a show like this would be amazing. Too bad they fucked up the core story and characters of this first season.
Next season they should just turn this into a miniseries that starts just before the next marvel movie, and ends soon after.

Season 1 suffered because Cap 2 changes things so drastically in the Marvel universe that they almost had o cruise control it until now which does suck. Going forward they can plot a course that leads to avengers 2 etc without spoiling everything.
If AOS had progressed in a logical way to Cap 2 it would have totally spoiled the movie.

August?
AoS premiered at the end of September. So 1-2 months after if they stick to the same schedule.

If we could get Sif for an entire episode can we please get Maria Hill for a full episode eventually.

Assuming there's a second season, she will almost undoubtedly make an appearance. I don't think they'll be able to snag her as a regular like some are hoping, but I would be shocked if she didn't appear for at least a small arc.

Contrary to some of the information that appeared at PaleyFest, the previews give me the impression that most or all of the next episode (along with the later scenes in this week's) will take place concurrently with TWS rather than afterwards, and that the April 15 episode is the first one that'll be set solidly in the post-TWS status quo.
Yeah,
Yeah,
the writers couldn't have the agents actually discover proof of anything too overtly sinister on SHIELD's part, because that would lessen the surprise of TWS' reveals. On the other hand, the team would look like idiots if they all unquestioningly believed in the organization until the post-TWS episodes.
In the first half of the season, the show handled this balancing act pretty ineptly (episodes where Skye expresses qualms about SHIELD's actions only to be convinced of their righteousness by the end of the episode, Hand seemingly being fine with Ward and Fitz dying only for this to be walked back shortly thereafter). In more recent episodes, the writers have handled this a bit better with Coulson losing trust in SHIELD proper after finding out more about his resurrection, though neither the brain surgery scene nor the alien corpse proved any genuinely malicious intent on their part.

Just to be on the safe side, this opener won't spoil anything from Cap 2 will it?
Not directly but ... not worth it. See Cap 2 first.

Wow, I wasn't expecting anything near that quality in AOS after Deathlock's BS of an unveiling. I'm actually surprised. Cool

MediaHint.
It straight up follows Hand's words near the end of the latest episode. And MOVIE SPOILERS/SPECULATION
you best believe it does (to some degree) going by what we know about Cap2. I have yet to watch it, but it looks like SHIELD has a bunch of traitors in its midst.

1. Hate/dislike Agents of SHIELD.
2. Watch the last episode.
3. Go see Cap 2.
4. Opinion on this series will probably change on your ride home or maybe during the movie itself.
5. Watch the clip while you desperately wait for the next episode.
Tried it twice and no luck, then re-started FF and worked, thanks anyway
Can't wait for this episode ............ TWS spoiler ahead:
HEIL HYDRA!!

Since it is obvious that the tie in to Captain America 2 was the inspiration for the creation of the show and that the first 10 episodes were spent just trying to build up the characters while we wait for The Winter Soldier "Uprising" Arc. And the fact that a Season 2 of AoS wouldn't have any movies to tie into, I really hope they don't start the show till November and minimize the breaks inbetween episodes and do 5-6 episode mini arcs inside a much larger ongoing arc if they do another 22/23 episode season.
I watched Cap 2 before the last AoS episode, but yes, pretty much. LOL.
Skye has to stay. Because.
So I don't know if this may have been brought up already, but concerning the mystery facility that Ward and Co. broke into : (speculation)
could it be a SWORD facility? I mean, they're basically the Men in Black of the Marvel U. so it would explain why they were holding an alien body. Plus they are a Whedon creation.

Bill Paxton is not to act in any action oriented episode until he learns how to grab an assault rifle like an actual firearm instead of like a frozen turkey.
