Ik this was 3 years ago, I’m only just now getting to watch all of these reactions but I 100% agree on the Fitz rant thing u spoke about. It annoyed me how he was just shouting at her for leaving and the way she wants to deal with what she’s gone through. And arguably she is the member of the team that has been through the most. Kinda hypocritical for Fitz aswell cus at the start of s3 he was the one that went rogue to find Jemma against orders and continued against orders, right thing to do on his part but still hypocritical.

Always love your reviews John. I love ghost rider and Gabriel luna’s portrayal. We were so close to having a tv show but the powers that be didn’t go through with it. This season really is great and it is sort of perfect that you are watching it in October and in a election year as that is when it originally aired so you will be getting a lot of government involvement and politics in this season as well

This episode is so great. Mostly a set up / breather ep but it also gave us a lot of nuggets on its own. I enjoy the hell out of Mace. I wasn't expecting him to be so "corporate/politician" but once I understood what they were going for with his character, it made me like him a lot. He manage to give off goofy dad vibes while also feeling, like you said, performative and a shade unbelievable. I enjoy the tension he brings to Coulson's character and the team at large. And that reveal that he has powers! Nice. On the Robbie side of things, he is truly fantastic in this role. I haven't seen the newest Terminator movie but I def would believe you if you said it underutilized Gabriel Luna. I love the way he can exude confidence, a touch of menace, yet also be likable and captivating. I find him to be extremely charismatic on screen. I'm excited to see you react to the team up with Daisy the end of the episode leads into. Speaking of Daisy, as I did in the last episode, I love this arc for her character. Here we see more of the fallout from her horrific ordeal with Hive and the violent loss of Lincoln. I liked how Robbie was able to understand her situation and the dynamic it presents when he tells her that he remembers her basically asking the Ghost Rider to kill her. It's interesting especially because we know he only kills those who deserve it and while Daisy doesn't seem to believe the whole "sold my soul" story, she at least can recognize that Robbie was telling the truth about his kills. Hopefully it puts into perspective her own plea for death that she gave to him. Mack's face of hurt and betrayal at learning Elena has been lying to him about know where Daisy is was heartbreaking. Even more so when he was pleading with Daisy to come home with him. It was a wonderfully emotive performance from Henry Simmons. I swear the partnership between Daisy and Mack is easily my favorite relationship in this show. I did have some issues with Fitz' claim that Daisy "turned her back on the team" and that they have never done the same. I know he's speaking emotionally because he's sad to lose her but it just was not a true statement. Not only have multiple members of the team left (sometimes for months) in order to deal with their own emotional health but some of them also absolutely turned on Daisy when she was revealed as an Inhuman. There was an entire arc where Simmons was prejudiced against her and Fitz had to hide Daisy's blood results in fear of the team doing something drastic to Daisy out of paranoia. Both Simmons and Coulson have used microaggressions around Daisy and Mack was anti-alien for months. Like...what? Maybe it was the delivery or perhaps the word choices but Fitz’s rant rubbed me all the way wrong in a way that Mack’s words didn’t. I don’t like when someone tries to tell another person that the way they grieve or process trauma is not the “right way” to do it. Everyone is different and everyone reacts to tragedy differently. Daisy’s boyfriend committed suicide, she was kidnapped, she was experimented on, and she was turned into a junkie by Hive all in the span of like a month, max. I know it’s not the Trauma Olympics but no one on the team has ever experienced anything close to that in such a short amount of time. She has a totally understandable reason to want distance while she figures out her place in the world. I understand the nuances of the fact that they are hurt because she’s gone but she is comparatively in far more pain than literally anyone else on the team after what happened. She deserves the space to heal however she needs, even if it means not seeing them.
