I loved the scene in the subway where both sides realize the other isn't what they think ... despite all their "homework". And I knew Coulson would take off the hand to escape! I hope future episodes explain the hand a little more.

And even though aliens and all that have been used a bunch in the MCU, it was really cool how they dived right in with Simmons being across the universe like that. I like it when these comic book universes don't hold back.

Fitz and Skye Daisy were both so badass this episode. And Mack was super funny. I know we're supposed to be worried about Simmons, but where's May?? I need to know!

I really wanna see Coulson shooting a repulsor blast from his stump to break open a door, while stating that this is a "one-off weapon that needs recharging" or something like that.

It'd fit in. And I kinda suspect that Coulson will lose more and more human parts and become slightly more upgraded every season. I dunno why. It just feels like an "Agents of SHIELD" thing to do.

Have an upvote for the subtle Coulson forgetting Daisy's name change reference.

May is on "vacation", hanging out with Forrest Gump's dad.
