Off you go then. 
I enjoyed it, good villain, spared no expense with the Captain America cast dropping by.

Not a bad start to series #2 though, thought Lawless would last more than a single episode though (that's assuming she's dead; she looked dead, but then this is Marvel, so anything is possible considering there's an 084 in play).
Yes that bit annoyed me too. The bit with May on the bike fleeing looked so fake.
In all fairness to them they probably didn't know enough about his abilities to realise he was still there.
Probably to see if there was an exit point, I do agree it was stupid though.
I feel like such a pussy but as soon as Coulson said Simmons had left and it was obvious Fitz was talking to no-one I did start to tear up.
You wouldn't be surprised if you've never had to shoot a weapon at a live target before. It's different from target practice.
I did too so you're not alone lol
This was a trained soldier shooting at three people a couple of metres in front of him.
That was well done indeed.
She's probably still alive.
The 084 will have done something to her and she'll end up with powers of some sort.
Anyway did anyone else notice Tripp's talk with Skye about Koenig's twin and his other brothers and how it had to be more than a coincidence?
I'm suspecting life model decoys, that, or Koenig is a clone?
that was pretty much my thought.
No, read an interview with the actress earlier and the character is dead.
I'm pretty sure it was the meeting at the end.
Come on, she's not exactly going to say she'll be back is she?
cant see it as likely but you never know
I appreciate they're monitoring him, but you could see things going very wrong.
In regards to the terrible aim on the soldier, that's just comics. If the Soldier/Cop/Guard is against the hero, they're almost guaranteed to have the shooting skill of a Stormtrooper
Based on what I've seen, I doubt Fitz has got serious organic brain damage, temporal lobe or otherwise. The mammalian diving reflex would have kept him alive and his brain and heart oxygenated to prevent any significant damage. And, from what I've seen based on the portrayal on the show, Fitz displayed another diagnosis entirely.
More than likely, Fury's doctors misdiagnosed Fitz. Based on the finale from last season, it's highly likely that Fitz displayed early signs of vocal dysfunction (a sign of left temporal lobe damage) and was probably introverted (another sign of left temporal lobe damage). BUT the scenes with Simmons showed that his right temporal lobe (facial recognition) was still intact as was his left (the revelation that Simmons was a creation of his mind fully able to articulate what Fitz could not).
Given this and his other symptoms and behavior a more true to life diagnosis would be that Fitz suffers from a form of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) arising from a combination of Ward's betrayal, the near death experience, then later his loss of status among this closest to him especially Simmons, and eventually, his loss of Simmons).
Oh, you bet. But, that's the fun of it. And, that also fits in with Fitz's PTSD bit.
From what I'd seen, Fitz's behavior showed one or more of these:avoidance of situations or things that reminded him of the traumatic event (Simmons), failed to remember important parts of the traumatic event (Simmons), viewed himself and others in a negative way, lost interest in activities he used to enjoy and feel detached from family and friends (his inventions and inability to work on his inventions), feel a sense of emotional numbness (the scene with the Koenig LMD), felt irritable or had angry or violent outbursts (too many to mention), engage in dangerous or self-destructive behavior (too often to discuss), constantly on guard or alert for signs of danger and startled easily, and had trouble concentrating. I'd say that described Fitz throughout the episode. That would mean PTSD and a battery of neuropsychiatric tests would confirm that.
Now, what's good about this story wise is that if Fitz doesn't pull out of it or if someone doesn't help him pull out of it (Coulson failed as did Simmons, so I'm thinking of Ward as part of his redemptive arc) then Fitz will end up becoming a psychotic as his schizophrenia becomes manifest which means he could end up to be MCU's MODOK! Or at least Howard Stark's ARSENAL (Advanced Response Security Engagement Neutralization Armored Lifeform) as Fitz truly dissociates himself from humanity.
So, if the writers do make it as it should be that is PTSD, then that along with Ward's problems would make for an entertaining show as we watch the mental disintegration of Fitz... of course, the writers could end up redeeming both and they end up being good guys... or something in between. Either way, I think the episode set out a nice intro.
But... But, I always attributed the Stormtrooper's marksmanship to Jedi Mind Tricks...
