Coulson Lives!... but how?

[JohnE]

I'm pretty sure you mean Simmons.


Not that Fitz isn't good-looking, in his own way.

Yeah, that one.

[Vypernight]

Yeah I get them confused.  Simmonds.  Also I love her meeting every encounter with giddy enthusiasm, no matter how threatening.

[JohnE]

So the plot of tonight's episode was...

...a Chitauri disease that they cured with Chitauri antibodies. (It was kind of like War of the Worlds in reverse. Kinda cool.) In the same episode, Coulson got his blood tested to see if there was anything weird going on with him. Interesting that the plot and subplot both involve looking for something in blood. Coincidence?

Coulson's blood work came back clean, but I'm betting that's only because they didn't think to test for those Chitauri antibodies.

[ironbite]

Or....it's a test that's been faked.  We know he died and we know something's up with him.  I'm thinking they just put Coulson's mind in some LMD and then put in the scar from the scepter to keep the illusion going.

Ironbite-that or he's got something in his chest in place of his heart.

[JohnE]

A point for Ironbite's theory. In tonight's episode, Sky said of Coulson, "He's acting like a robot version of himself."

[ironbite]

And now he can't get in to see his own file on his recovery.

Ironbite-and the Pavlov response is breaking down

[kefkaownsall]

I've noticed with Coulson granted I've not seen Thor so maybe its different he was a lot less uptight in Avengers compared to Agents so maybe they are different people with memories implanted like Astro Boy

[JohnE]

Doll House reference in tonight's episode.

"Did I fall asleep?"
"For a little while."

Clear brainwashing/implanted memory hint. Not really any new information, but a cool easter egg.

[JohnE]

Holy hell! Some dark shit in this episode.

So I guess Coulson isn't a Chitauri, or a robot. But they still didn't fully explain HOW they were able to bring him back.

I'm not sure as to where to put this, but I'm getting really sick of running into every idiot who bitches about how horrible this show is, but continue to watch it every week just to bash it. Am I the only person who seems to run into these types, every day. For the love of Loki, if you don't like the fucking show, why do you even waste time in watching it?? Also why does it seem that every "geek" thing out there, seem to have a hard on for hating this show? Sometimes I wonder if they're even watching the same show that I'm watching, given how they act as if it's the most horrible thing ever on TV, I can take criticism, but they really over do the criticism, and it seems that they have the bar set so fucking high.

[ironbite]

And the best part is when they say it sucks compared to other shows that aren't even in the genre.  Look I get that this show isn't the best show on tv right now and there are a ton of other shows better then it.  But name me another show that takes super-low level people and trusts them into this super-shared universe of pain and death.  You can't.

So yeah, looks like Fury couldn't lose his one good eye and not only moved heaven and earth, but went to hell to get Coulson out.

Ironbite-bet there will be no consequences there.

Personally, I'm enjoying every minute of the show.

I loved how May used "exact words" to get Skye off the plane so she could find Coulsin better.  I also loved when skye floored Raina with a single punch.  The b*tch SO deserved it!  Interesting info about what happened to coulsin.  We didn't get details, but we got enough to find out they did some rather questionable things to bring him back.  I wonder if any pacts with other beings were made or if it was all just a bunch of scientific maneuvers.

[JohnE]

Okay, new theory. Coulson isn't a Chitauri. He's a cyborg, and the tech used to bring him back is connected to Deathlok. (Connected as in related, not as in they've got a Bluetooth link)

Skye, on the other hand, is an Asgardian.

[Vypernight]

Oh this sucks.  We waited a month for Tracks, and now we have to wait another month for the next episode.  Still enjoying the series; I just hate waiting between episodes.
