Good ol gaf, I'm supposed to know you're joking because of a post from 19 days ago in this thread.

Whys everyone acting like FitzSimmons is over? I thought she still wants to be with Fitz and they're just getting Will back because he helped her

As soon as I saw Dillon Casey's name in the credits, I was so excited. The man is beyond gorgeous. Will all the way please.
A fantastic episode overall. The "it" was really creepy.

Because Simmons was getting pounded by the dude and obviously has feelings for him too.
Agreed. The thing that still bothers me is after she saw that thing in the dust (or whatever) she rubbed mud or something on her face. Next scene is her running in to the hole with nothing on her face.
Expected the "it" to walk past her instead of seemingly that scene ending like that. Wondered if there was something cut as it felt odd.

Yeah because they were alone on a planet
It's pretty obvious to me Fitz is the one she really cares about

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Didn't the scroll that Fitz found say Death on it?

Kind of was hoping Will would end up being Richard Ryder or someone and go on to be Nova 
Is he anyone in the comics?

AoS stays strong. That was a damn good episode. And I like that they dedicated a special title intro for it so it doesn't break immersion.
If/When they do end up getting Will back, I feel like some dark shit is going to come up. Whatever creature they're dealing with maybe controlling him or something.
I totally thought Simmons was going to find a way to use the underground heating as a power source, with how they talked about the solar panels and the heating. Red herring.
Gotta feel bad for Fitz, but FitzSimmons will find a way, I'm sure. If not, there's always Skimmons, or is it Daisimmons, or Simmaisy?

It's like we watched a totally different episode.
In a perfect world this would be the final nail in the horrible Nice Guy FitzSimmons bullshit. Such a lame plot. Both characters deserve better.

Fitz reminds me of Sailor Moon. Never able to get with Tuxedo Mask.

I think that person is probably an Inhuman who was banished there a long time ago.
Her parents are still alive. Coulson was talking about having to let them know that Simmons was "dead" in the first episode.

This. I was pretty excited to see what Jemma had gone through while on that alien planet, but once I saw the astronaut the light bulb went off in my head. "Yep, that's the reason she's so hellbent on getting back". God, the look on Fitz's face when Jemma finished her story and they cut to him. Brutal, lol.
Friendzoned till the end. Dude never gave up on her and yet he's trapped in the friendzone. Elizabeth Henstridge did a great job this episode, hell the whole season thus far.

As someone who is still bitter about Tripp, good. Fuck Fitz, he should be in the friendzone.

Is he entitled a relationship just because he is a good friend?

I thought that was a cool episode, despite being a little disappointingly unambitious. Also, I don't feel like Simmons' ordeal as seen in this episode would have resulted in such a strong case of PTSD upon her return home.
agreed about not being as ambitious as I'd hoped.
though I don't think her PTSD was that strong. the most obvious example was when she woke up with that blade in hand but everything else felt more like an adjustment to earth.

Good ep, really enjoyable. Saw the will / jemma thing coming last episode. Will finally showed his face and I was like yup, so youre the one, huh? Pretty fucking cliché despite being executed decently enough. Thought it was kind of a cop out and lame, but whatever. Ha, I wouldn't be suprised at all by a fitz heel turn; would be hilarious and I wouldn't blame him. He's a stud though, he'll pull through.
Legit chuckles @ the full circle'ness of "hahaha, dinner bitch!" Or whatever was said, and "it died, its in a better place." Damnit jemma, you cute little button. Ooh and yaaayy more ward next week. May gonna bust up some fools, too? I can dig it.

I hope it wasn't just me, but there were soooo many shots where Will looked like Chris Evans.
When Simmons asked his name I said "you better not say Chris!!"

No, because the story arc for last season seemingly pushed it to that point, and it was well done. We want fitz to win because his arc has been so good, and we want our boy to at least get the girl.
This feels a little sour after last years finale so get used to some of us getting annoyed about it a bit.

So that astronaut mentioned that the planet is alive, right?

I think this episode shows her actions to make a ton of sense.
No, I don't think her feelings are souly directed at Fitz. She clearly grew to love Will in that time and at no point tries to down play that as cabin fever. She openly admitted to giving up all hope and seemed to be genuinely as happy as they could be in that situation.
That's why she is so shaked by everything around her. Not PTSD, it's cause for all this time she's only had him and her own voice to really hear. Everything else is just another sign of the storm coming. She's finding it hard to getting use to hearing other things and seeing so much light.
That break down on that sad lil date with Fitz? Will was all "First thing I'd do is eat! Big Fat Steak and shit!". Looking at that menu reminded her of that. Looking back, those feel like tears of heart pain, not just "I feel bad!".
That Shank move? The last thing she remembered was the alien coming after her in a sand storm.
It really made a lot of things clear, even why she first tells this to Fitz one on one.

It also makes sense why she wouldn't tell anyone at first. She probably told Bobbi everything though.
On a side note, I wish Simmons and Daisy will get more scenes together.

I absolutely loved that episode. I can get the complaints that you got bored during it but man I was encapsulated the whole way through. Absolutely loved it. Don't even mind that Fitz got friendzoned because the NASA dude was stuck 14 years without any interaction and Gemma was feeling incredibly lonely as well. Fitz and Gemma will get together, no way they don't follow through with all of this.
I will say the post about Fitz being friendzoned by the entire universe was the funniest thing I've heard all day.

Props to the person who called the shitty twist of Jemma falling in love on the desolate planet being the reason she wants to go back. I read it and couldn't believe the writers would be that bad. It's almost as bad as the inclusion of a long lost family member who popped up on the flash this week and last to spice up some CW drama.

What was bad about it? It was a tad predictable but the execution was excellent. Simmons had to be broken down and hopeless before she accepted her fate and let herself be with him. Everything about the episode felt like a reasonable series of events that eventually lead to two people completely depending on each other. Unlike Flash, the writing itself was superb. There wasn't a single wasted scene this episode.
"You're dinner, biatch!" is the best scene of the show this season.

You know I didn't even think about the criticism until I read your counter on it and... yeah, I just can't buy it. Sorry!
Her actions seem so odd now that we have the context for it. Makes me go back to feeling like "stranded with astronaut" was just a lame plot point. Wish there was more of the hunt and less/no astronaut time
Whoa they went full Martian with this episode. I really didn't expect the entire episode to be focused entirely on her planet adventures but it turned out to be pretty cool. Too bad for Fitz though. Friend zoned for life. Even someone trapped on an alien planet for over a decade has better odds with Jemma than he does. RIP.

I feel like all these "Fitz doesn't DESERVE anything stop talking about the friendzone you fedoras" posts are intentionally ignoring the fact that there's been two years of character and plot development between these two characters, and even in this episode it showed how Simmons' (obviously romantic, not purely platonic) feelings towards Fitz were a, if not the, major factor in her will to survive on the alien planet before her inevitable breakdown and comforting by Astronaut Mike Dexter.
No, Fitz doesn't deserve a sex reward because he's so nice to Simmons, but honestly that's not really what anyone reasonable is talking about. The show has unarguably been moving in the direction of them admitting and acting on their feelings for each other since the end of season 1, and casually dismissing this as just nerdy dudes needing to check their privilege or whatever is pretty silly. This idea that it's like, inherently misogynistic or hypocritical to feel bad for Fitz, because that inherently implies he was entitled to something from Simmons, doesn't really hold water given the actual context of the show.

I agree. At first I thought there was gonna be cheap drama and love triangle rubbish, but they pulled it out by having Fitz love Simmons so much, he's willing to step back, as long as she can be happy. Was really touching.
Next time, my way
Zog.

I heard a gunshot during the sandstorm when Simmons was being rescued
You know, if you knew that there was a NASA astronaut who had been stranded on an alien planet behind a portal for over a decade and he was still out there being hunted by some alien monster, and you choose NOT to want to try and save him just because he banged the girl you like, that would be a real douche move.
