The Most-est Moments of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 02×08
Episode Title: The Things We Bury
Most ominous line:
“Discovery requires experimentation and this experiment will take TIME.”
Most interesting allusion to something we suspect but don’t know for sure:
“These men will remain until your temper returns.”
“Not necessary, I assure you. Cool as a cucumber. Smart to play it safe.” (says the Guy whose name we don’t know yet but we can assume he’s Skye’s father with a REALLY BAD temper)
Most sarcastic sign off:
“Aloha.”
Best convenient coincidence:
“This used to be an SSR base before Fury restored it. It’s full of SSR files.”
Best Coulson-ism:
“If it starts to leak any fluids, drop it, run.”
Best Fitz self-deprecation:
“You are aware that I only have one hand that works good?”
Best fangirl moment:
“Peggy Carter, founder, happens to be British, held this in her hand!”
Best cameo that we all knew was coming:
Best quip:
“Sorting paperwork, the life none of us chose.”
Best throwaway reference to Captain America: Winter Soldier:
“Undersecretary Pierce took pity on him. Said it wasn’t his choice whose side of the war he was on.”
Best hint about a character’s past that will probably pop back up in a future episode:
“I wonder if your friends know the acts that YOU are capable of. How you were able to ingratiate yourself to Hydra. Should you fear their judgment were those details to ever surface?”
Best surprise (and stomach-turning) confessional moment:
“I WANTED HIM DEAD.”
Best worst plot development:
Best shocking moment:
“I can help. I’m a doctor.”
Best unexpected moment of levity:
“What are we talking about? Tesseract level power??”
“Sure. I don’t know what that is.”
Best rooting for a couple to get back together moment:
“Why do you think I vouched for you with Coulson?”
Best I don’t know what Ward is doing and I don’t know how to feel and GAH what I can’t even:
Best game changer:
“Match found.”
Best revelation that we kind of saw coming:
“I’ll find him. I’ll doto him what he did to you. I WILL TEAR HIM APART.”
