Me everytime I see Nathaniel Malick on screen: I've had enough of this man

He's so annoying! I hate his smug face. The audacity of thinking that his stolen powers could outmatch Daisy's... When she went feral for a second there (great moment!), the fear in his eyes was so satisfying. Daisy constantly gets nerfed either for story or budgetary reasons, but every once in a while we get a glimpse of how truly powerful she is and it's always epic. Shame May cut it short. I hope our girl finally gets to unleash a bringing-down-buildings level of destruction in the inevitable Quake vs Quake showdown. It really irks me that most of the time she's only allowed to use her powers to push people around. She may not be strong enough to tear the world apart, but I believe she could turn entire city blocks to rubble or demolish small towns without breaking a sweat if the showrunners weren't holding her back.

Daisy and Jiaying had some great scenes together in this one. I don't understand why everyone was going on about keeping her alive to protect Daisy's existence though. When Mack's parents were killed, an alternate timeline was created, but he still got to keep his memories of being raised by them in the original one. By the same logic, Jiaying dying shouldn't affect our Daisy at all, should it? It just means that her alternate timeline counterpart won't be born. But who the hell knows.

John Garrett making an appearance is a fun blast from the past. The fact that they chose Bill Paxton's actual son to portray the younger version of the character is so cool.

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I haven't really missed Fitz that much this season. But damn if I'm not curious what Jemma's breakdown last episode was all about! I don't think he's dead, but something truly messed up must've happened. Next week we might finally find out what that is.


The penultimate spot on this list goes to...
6x03 "Fear and Loathing on the Planet of Kitson"
Admittedly, this episode is nowhere near as good as some of my other favorites (cough "Self-Control" cough), but it is 42 minutes of pure dumb fun featuring my two favorite gals accidentally dropping alien acid, so what's not to love? Daisy and Jemma are such an underrated duo. Every season they get like an episode or two where their dynamic is center stage, but other than that, they are largely overlooked, which is a shame. Elizabeth and Chloe are obsessed with each other in real life, which translates effortlessly into the chemistry between their characters and makes them so fun to watch. I just know they were dying laughing while filming this episode. It's kind of a guilty pleasure episode of mine and a highlight of an otherwise meh season (along with "Inescapeable").

@aniela-krajewska 'our Daisy' isn't the only Daisy. They want a Daisy to be born in that timeline too.
