Hello boys and girls.  Welcome to this week’s very special episode.  This week, Agent Ward learns a little something about the importance of working together.  That’s right, this week’s theme is…teamwork!

I thought this week’s episode, “0-8-4” was great fun, despite it’s utter lack of subtlety.  Did it change the way I think about the world?  Nope.  did it give me great insights into the human condition?  Nope.  Was there an Incan temple in the rainforest?  Uh – yeah!  Good times, people, good times.

Here’s the highlights of the week:

Say it with me, y’all:  Coulson has a girl-friend, Coulson has a girl-friend!  A super unconvincing girlfriend who is obviously up to no good!  Technically she’s an ex-girlfriend.  By the end of this episode the break-up is no longer amiable.  This surprises no one.

Words that are deeply inspiring in light of the fact that our elected officials can’t agree on how to pay their bills:

Couslon:  Ward, you can speak six languages.  Simmons, you have PhD’s in fields I can’t pronounce.  And Fitz – you ARE a rocket scientist!  Work it out!

Skye:  I’m good at stuff, too!

It’s the plaintive tone in her voice that sells it.

A few moments of hilarious physical comedy – everyone backs away from the highly dangerous alien explosive, and I spend several minutes screaming at the cast to stop leaning on the raft.  Jesus, you guys.

And my favorite line,

From the Ex:  “I’m not even going to mention the Corvette!”

Coulson:  Her name is Lola:

The Ex:  Of course it is.

Hands down the best moment comes from the very end of the episode.  By now two whole days have passed since the episode aired and yet I still can’t bring myself to screw this moment up for those of you who haven’t seen the episode yet.  just watch to the end, OK?

See you next week!
