It should or it's flimsy writing.

The quarter wasn't fried...either explained away by "it wasn't on when the EMP fired" or not explained away at all. if it were a bigger gadget, and had interactable parts, I'd think they'd show Fitz fixing it on the spot. But since it's so tiny, I doubt that shot would work, so I don't think that's the direction they're going.




Oh, and Garret shot the dog, and has known Ward isn't 100% trustable with things he gets attached to. That explains why he didn't trust him to handle Skye without Dethlok, and why he has made more than a few remarks concerning how much Ward could handle.
Also, I believe that not only did Ward know his brother was in the house, but that Garrett was aware of this, and why he saw Ward as a potential recruit for Hydra. I don't buy that Garrett would ask that question without already knowing the answer....he was more looking for if the kid could lie, and hold to that lie, making him a perfect insert into SHIELD.

 

[Grimsen]

Ward shot twice.

 

[inky]

Man, all of ya Ward fanboys deserve to be shot as well. What's wrong with you?

You're asking what's wrong with fanboys? THEY ARE FANBOYS!

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

The shows name should be changed to Agents of WARD!

Ward shot twice.

Garetto shot first.

Is it ok to hate Fitz? I cant stand the douchebag.

 

[Dai101]

Is it ok to hate Fitz? But i cant stand the douchebag.

Hate is too strong. Maybe just laugh at him for being a simp and a whiny lil bitch. Simmons has more balls than him.

Hate is a strong word, but i dislike him a lot. Simmons is great.

 

[Ricker]

I adored the file transfer bit.

Yeah,tha was awesome,I actually lol'ed

 

[TacticalFox88]

Fitz can't get into Simmons pants even 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Tripp gets rescue sex.

I'm not claustrophobic, but the thought of being in a locked box on the ocean floor, thinking no one knows where you are and being sure you will die is terrifying to me. same with the ever popular scenes where people get buried alive and there is a race against the clock to save them. It frightens me like nothing else and when shit gets too real I usually fast forward past such scenes.

Did you like Gravity?

 

[Xun]

I wish I didn't have to wait a couple of weeks to watch this episode.

 

[Toa TAK]

I actually like Fitz for being the complete opposite of a super badass. Even if he is a whiny dude.

The scene the other week where he was hiding under the desk while Coulson and May fought Garrett and his goons. I wasn't sure where they were taking Fitz's character until then, and I really really like him now. Even more so after this episode. I just hope now he understands what Ward really is.

Didn't think I'd say it so soon, but they're really turning things around for most if not all of the main characters. Coulson's got his groove back now that he has a reason to fight. Tripp and Simmons have real chemistry I think. May is the one I think needs more development, but with the other characters getting more fleshed out, I feel like she can get away with remaining more mysterious until Season 2.

The biggest problem they had in the first half was "Why on earth does this show exist?"

 

[Sadist]

Again, thanks for saving the show Cap!

Fun episode again, hopefully the finale won't disappoint. Gimme dat Garret evil awesomeness.

 

[Trike]

Fitz has the quarter walkie talkie he got from Tripp. The question is, did it get fried by the EMP?

That's true! It could have been made resistant to the emp somehow? Or in a special case? Or they could science it until it works.

I think you would like this movie!

 

[Mariolee]

I like Fitz because he's probably how I would act in those types of situations.

Simping aside.

 

[Affeinvasion]

I really want to a gif of Garrett at the end when he's looking all evil and jowly with the caption: UNLIMITED POWER!!

 

[LaNaranja]

There are Fitz haters? He is the best character on the show though.

Fitz seems like the only one capable of thinking in more than just black and white terms. I liked how he was considering all the possibilities, like Ward having an eye bomb. If anything it bugged me how many people were just like "he is evil (who cares why) so fuck him."

Pacific Rim...

lol I didn't even catch that...

 

[jmood88]

I just finished watching Winter Soldier for the millionth time and I really want to know why this show can't look like the movie. Is it just a budget thing? I'm not talking about the special effects, just the overall look. Is it the cameras or some post-processing stuff that can't be done with a network tv show?

Cameras, sets, wardrobe - its all budget related.

I loved that TWS actually looked like DC.

 

[pulga]

murdering noble guardsmen

killing loyal canine friends

is there no place for the innocent on this show?

Spoiler

Fitz better man up and go for glory while theyre stuck in that box

 

[Elaugaufein]

Regarding the EMP. It was triggered it the motel earlier and put out the rooms lights but the Howling Commando gear wasn't affected.

There's 2 explanations there: 1) The gear was designed with the EMP in mind and has countermeasures or 2) it wasn't effected because it was turned off. So they could go either way.

 

[danielcw]

Since when do all EMPs stop electric things working forever?

For all we know, most equipment could be fine minutes later.

Well real EMPs are designed to do that in that they completely fry electronics, but fictional EMPs generally only incapacitate things for a limited amount of time.

 

[Dryk]

Yeah in real life the point of an EMP is it induces a large enough current in a nearby circuit to surge transistors to death

 

[Jason Frost]

Wait, how the EMP did not make the SHIELD plane stop working?

Spoiler

No analog, please

 

[Jest Chillin]

Didn't they say the range was like 10ft?

Thanks guys, forgot about that part.

 

[danielcw]

A plane and its devices are shielded against electric influences,
so I guess that could explain it away easily.

Someone else can photoshop this one.

then I am sorry and must have missed it.

The ABC press release actually focuses on the Goldbergs
"ABC's 'The Goldbergs' Beats Fox's 'New Girl' Finale"
But it also included some good numbers for SHIELD:

"

• S.H.I.E.L.D. ranked #1 in its hour with key Men (M18-34/M18-49). Among Men 18-34, ABC’s S.H.I.E.L.D. (1.4/6) beat NBC’s The Voice by 40% (1.0/4) and CBS’ NCIS by 56% (0.9/4), finishing as the #1 scripted series in its slot for its 21st straight original airing. The new ABC drama is Tuesday’s top-rated TV show this season with key Men (M18-34/M18-49) and is the season’s #1 broadcast drama with Men 18-34 (tied w/The Blacklist).
• S.H.I.E.L.D. improved its time period by 80% in Adults 18-49 year to year, over the year-ago night with original programming.
• The ABC freshman drama gets big increases from TV playback. In the Live + 7 Day ratings for its most-recent regular original (w/o 4/7/14), S.H.I.E.L.D. posted the series’ biggest-ever jump, spiking 79% over its L+SD Adult 18-49 number (going from a 1.9 rating to a 3.4 rating).

Rewatching Avengers, and suddenly SHIELD having all that HYDRA stuff on board the helicarrier seems like a giant flashing warning light. I know it probably wasn't meant to be foreshadowing, but in retrospect, it sure seems like it.

It may well have been. We don't know how far exactly they've been planning this, but everything seems pretty well set up to imply that they had at least been thinking about it during the production of the Avengers.

 

[wildfire]

Ward shot twice.

This is the new Solo shot first I guess.

 

[Affeinvasion]

I doubt the original reference image is iconic enough for people to understand where it came from and why it's funny. But you did an awesome job!

Spoiler

The Spy Who Loved Me is one of my favorite Bond movies so being stuck in the ocean waiting to be discovered made me immediately think of that scene

 

[MC Safety]

I really liked the scene in the last episode where Coulson and May were pretending to be scientists and taking direction from Fitz and Simmons. They started talking over one another like Fitz and Simmons did in the first few episodes, and I thought that was a neat touch.

 

[neoanarch]

Call me a skeptic but the series that inspired the Hydra infiltration would have been running at the same time as the Avengers was being written and produced. Secret Warriors ran from 2009 to July 2011.

Ward shot the dog. Its already been shown Ward has been messed up since he was a kid. His weakness is he gets attached to people. But not only did he probably try and kill his brother indirectly. Instead of shooting the dog with the revolver face to face he had to do it with the rifle. With Fitz and Simmons instead of busting down the door, which he could have easily. He decides to jettison the compartment to take care of them indirectly.
