This show's schedule is a mess. First we get a 3-week break, then 2 episodes, and now the mid-season hiatus? Someone should get fired for this shit.

I don't really understand what Eli's plan was - I don't see how setting off an atomic bomb could be beneficial in any way. I guess we'll never know.

Robbie will return, won't he? I certainly hope so. Despite my initial reservations, I've kind of grown fond of him.

Daisy is back! Finally! I'm so glad that she's not doing the lone vigilante crap anymore. It was getting old.

Mack and Elena kissed! About damn time. And Daisy's little smirk was everything. You could tell that she was thinking of all the ways she could tease Mack about it later.

Fitz and Simmons are FitzSimmonsing again. I've missed it.

Something about this show has been bothering me for a long time, and I finally figured out what it is. It occurred to me when I saw May at Radcliffe's lab and realized that the one at SHIELD is a decoy: the writers never let the characters catch a breath. They create conflict after conflict like it's some kind of a race. The characters jump straight from one misery to another. There's no time for happiness. Every even remotely peaceful or blissful scene gets interrupted by a plot twist. Would it kill them to just let our heroes celebrate Daisy's return without something awful happening? I know that the writers have to create drama to get people to watch the show, but you need to find balance somewhere. I wish that once in a while I could watch a new episode of Agents of SHIELD and not feel like stabbing myself in the foot afterwards. I love this show. I really do. But it makes me fucking depressed sometimes. What keeps me watching is my faith that the showrunners respect and care about their characters enough to not kill them off for shock value. So far, they haven't disappointed me in that regard, but still, they should take notes from The Flash or Supergirl. Give these poor agents some hope and positivity from time to time.

@aniela-krajewska »FitzSimmonsing« :'D This is too good. Thanks for that!

@aniela-krajewska the schedule was a mess because 'Dancing with the Stars' is on the same channel and has priority.
