Alright, can we just agree that that was by far the best episode of the season (which was already incredible to begin with), if not one of the best in the entire show.

World inside the Framework:

-Daisy is with Ward
-Coulson is a schoolteacher lecturing on Inhumans
-Mack is doing yard work
-Fitz steps out of a car with someone we only get a glimpse of, but it's not Simmons because we see her grave
-May is in the elevator at the old Triskelion HQ for S.H.I.E.L.D. from Winter Soldier...only it has the Hydra emblem on it

Gawd.

Okay, so episode is donezo
Who's this week's MVP?

Jemma absolutely killed it tonight, but the runner up is Aida going 0-100 in every scene.

Simmons, Daisy and LMD May tie it for me.
Simmons being all awesome, and doing what needed to be done to take down LMD Fitz
Daisy for taking down LMD Mace, and then basically doing a Rasengan on LMD Mack and Coulson.
LMD May... Because... That scene...

AIDA was the MVP, she pretty much out Radcliff, Radcliff. Damn, Age of Ultron should have been the avengers verses LMDs of each other with Ultron in the mix.

Picking up a child's bike, implying that Hope is "alive" in the framework.

Which is probably the most messed up "fix".

Batteries the CRISIS!
MVP is Daisy, she's the only one who kept hope alive and she was a badass in multiple scenes, from her pep talk to Jemma to her fight scenes.

and I thought seeing Flash fight a gorilla was going to be the highlight of the night.

Did anyone notice the quick "Return of Hydra" title card when the standard LMD title card was on screen at the end of the episode...

Can't wait!!!

Oh, it was the best episode of the entire show so far.

That scene with LMD May talking to LMD Coulson juxtaposed with Daisy, Jemma and the redshirts scrambling into the Zephyr was a fantastic scene and the best of the show.

They probably have a whole new backstory now, where Ward w/ victorious Hydra picks her up.

-Coulson is a schoolteacher lecturing on Inhumans

Bet he's in Oregon...

-Mack is doing yard work

I dunno about Fitz (he probably invented some cool shit and got rich for it), but is Simmons about to wake up in the Framework 6 feet under?!

-May is in the elevator at the old Triskelion HQ for S.H.I.E.L.D. from Winter Soldier...only it has the Hydra emblem on it

Maybe w/out Coulson at SHIELD, she becomes a loyalist and is swayed by Hydra to go against Captain America during the events of Winter Soldier? Would be an interesting way to kill MCU Cap and ruin the Avengers a different way.

This shit is cray. That episode had me more stressed than any other single episode of TV that wasn't Breaking Bad.

Oh easily. Even the Ghost Rider stuff for me was, at best, on par with the peaks of Season 2 (which I've always considered the only time SHIELD really touched greatness). But the LMD arc has absolutely been the best the show's ever done and it totally came to a head here. Good drama, good action, lots of twists and turns. A+ episode.

A few folks live tweeting saying the next arc is Assault on Pleasant Hill if this is anything to go by...
Click to expand...

I definitely got that vibe as well. The main difference is that Pleasant Hill was A) very specifically not a simulation but a rewriting of reality and B) was a place designed to rehabilitate villains by force.

So it's sort of an inverse Pleasant Hill where the "bad guys" are trying to remove the "good guys" from the equation by giving them happy, pleasant lives.

How fucking crazy is it that the show got better after Ghost Rider left?

Actually you're completely right, now that I think about it. Haven't had that many superhero shows to begin with, and none of them have ever been on this sort of quality.

Same man. Like I knew we was in for some LMD fuckery, but my goodness. The whole tension with everyone not knowing who was who. Fitz over here casually stabbing the fuck out of Jemma, who then later on returns the favor. Daisy with the fucking quake-Rasengan, and then everything else...

It's been said repeatedly on here I'm sure, but the best part about this show is how it just blazes through these things. Literally every other (superhero at least) show would draw that shit out as much as it can.

Right? We really bout to get 20+ episodes of greatness.

Without a doubt, that was the best episode this show ever made.

Guys, Simmons isn't dead
the Framework takes away a regret, so the program probably tried to put her back on the other planet...

its hard to argue with this and I've seen ghost rider, Grodd, Kid Flash, the Justice Society of America, Firestorm, etc on tv and still this episode takes the cake.

Damn, before Flash, all I wanted was the type of superhero show where you get to see all these flashy powers and what not. Then when all is said and done, the shows that show restraint in that area turned out to be the best one.
