Random AoS Thoughts: 1x09 “Repairs”
Horror movies + The Bus + Bus pranks = hilarity and loads of fun.
1. May just casually saunters out of the hotel room, not even caring about Ward and his staggered timelines. Like, “my sleeping with you won’t affect my job so who cares who knows” kind of thing. Totally a May thing and a wonderful character… strengthener. (That’s not the word I want, but my brain is fried. Don’t @ me.)
2. Coulson debriefing Daisy all by her lonesome and then talking about how to approach a powered human and how to handle it when Daisy will have to go through it. Not that Daisy’s transition went really well, but…
3. “This is a delicate situation and you’re bringing along ‘warm’ and ‘fuzzy’?” Meaning Ward, and May if truth were known. But, let’s be real, he’s doing it to protect Daisy. You know he is. He doesn’t want her to get hurt.
4. “You’re late.” Cue Ward looking like a hurt puppy which is totally weird on him, just saying.
5. Daisy jumping into action like a great little SHIELD agent. I love her so much.
6. “Is this real?” Yes, but also no. Not quite like that.
7. “I didn’t go to your SHIELD Hogwarts.” Ha. I mean, accurate, but ha.
8. Okay, full disclaimer: God does not punish anyone. Let that be known. He is a God of love. Okay, moving on.
9. I NEVER SAW THAT DUDE BEFORE!! Whut?
10. Ward stops cracking pepper over the “she needs to get laid” comment. That’s the greatest thing ever.
11. I shipped so many different iterations of Ward and other people, but I do think MayWard was the best for multiple different reasons.
12. I don’t remember this episode at all. Is that weird? That’s totally weird, right?
13. Daisy is such an empathetic character. It’s so beautiful. She’s strong in her empathy and it isn’t a weakness. It’s such a gift.
14. This horror movie vibe fits this show in a way I can’t explain. I think I vaguely remember thinking this was the best episode of the season so far. Which is weird because I can’t remember it.
15. Daisy realizing Coulson was with May in Bahrain and then hearing the story from Coulson’s lips is a heart wrenching moment.
16. “Did she lose anyone in there?” “Herself.” This story is such a parallel with what Coulson is going through right now. I never realized it, but in hindsight, it’s great.
17. Coulson and his love of old stuff. And the way he holds his hands under his arms. So adorable. I love him.
18. “Let the girl go.” May. Coulson. My baby team. I can’t with these guys.
19. Daisy’s little look at Coulson as he leans up against that holotable with the watch. Then, the talk about her talents and the Index and his compliment. I’m just #cousy4lyfe
20. The scrabble game and Fitz being the victim of a prank set up by May. Priceless.
