iariaAdapt or Die
+ There is no way Coulson is really dead. At the very least they still have the Coulson imprint they used to create this LMD/Chromicon Coulson from. I'm hoping though that they have a backup with all his current memories so he/we don't have to start over from the beginning again.
+ I loved the Coulson/May confrontation. I loved his "I don't appreciate this attitude from you." and revealing just how much her lack of reaction was bothering him. I loved that she did start getting angry. I felt for her because she isn't wrong. It must play hell with grieving and actually letting go of someone if they keep coming back alive afterwards, in some form or another.
+ Daisy hiding a piece of glass in her hand while she was being drained of blood and spinal fluid was very badass.
+ So Sousa sitting beside Daisy pod watching her intently and then telling Jemma "I’m where I need to be." definitely felt like the show setting up Daisy/Sousa. Yes/no? I didn't see it coming - I've enjoyed their previous interactions and Sousa gently petting her hair as he talked to keep her conscious was really sweet - so I don't hate it.
+ I really liked the little Deke moment when he came in to inform them about the jump and his eyes kept returning to Daisy. I haven't been a big fan overall but his crush on Daisy has last several seasons at this point and I wonder if they're just going to let it quietly die off or address it again.
+ Loved Coulson's "That's my girl" at Daisy having an 80+% chance of survival. Aww.
+ Deke immediately knocking Enoch out to protect his Nana was sweet.
+ "You're a valued member of our family" ♥ I love this so much. The fact that he says 'family' instead of team is what really makes it. Jemma 'nana-ing' him with cleared throats and prompts was great - I want more of them as a family. I love that Enoch thinks it's the greatest compliment to be a part of their family.
+ Deke getting left behind too because he was feeling compassionate towards Mack and wanted to help/comfort him was a great character beat.
+ Poor Mack. The reveal that both his parents had been replaced and then him having to physically kill his 'mom' :(
+ They really need to start using May's ability to detect Chronicom's more strategically. Touch everyone May!
+ Dropping a Chronicom body and a living Chronicom out of the plane doesn't seem like the best idea to keep the timeline unaffected, you know? I mean it's already massively screwed up but they don't know who'll find the bodies or what they'll do with them.
+ I liked the Sibyl/Coulson conversation but the Chronicom's decision to make Earth their homeworld rather than any of the countless other worlds out there still makes no sense. They don't need to breathe - why not pick an uninhabited world?
+ "And a cool thing to say, by the way. Your whole vibe is just... great." He's not wrong. I rather enjoyed Nathaniel and like that he had no interest in Hydra. Great job by the actor. I do think Sousa should have taken the time to make sure he was dead, though I get why he didn't, because he is definitely coming back to haunt them again. I doubt Daisy's powers will last which means he'll probably start hunting more Inhumans and experimenting on them, perhaps hooking up with Whitehall? It's not going to be good.
+ I liked Stoner.
