What's funny is that I don't tend to notice the physical things regarding your settings until YOU mention them. 😂 So, all the stuff you're insecure about, I don't ever notice until you bring it up. Not saying that NOBODY notices those things and therefore you should stop mentioning them. I'm sure a lot of people do notice those things and wonder about them, so it's good for them that you address them. I'm just saying that they're always a surprise for me, personally. When someone apologizes for their hair or if the lighting is different, or even what they're wearing, I'm always like, "Oh, is it drastically different now?" It's just a representation of how all of us focus on different aspects of things and why it's not exactly accurate to cut someone down for not picking up on something that maybe I picked up and thought was obvious. That's a lesson, actually, that took me a long time to internalize. I like hearing others' assessments 'cause they, many times, are things I didn't notice and gives things a different spin. I don't like when someone points out the differences and makes you feel less than because you didn't see it. This was just a tangent that came to mind while talking about not noticing some things you mention about your space, not addressing anything you said.

2025-04-17 11:25:49 +0000 UTCI had no idea 'cause while watching this full ep again now, I said, "I don't remember seeing that pic of his mom before." I've watched the full length episodes a few times, closer to when it was released, but mostly have watched edited reactions since and people don't tend to include that shot in the reaction.

2025-04-17 11:03:19 +0000 UTCThe photo Fitz was looking at was an actual photo of his actor Iain de Caestecker as a kid with his real-life mother Linda.

2025-04-12 19:12:49 +0000 UTCReally fun episode, and the first one of the show that gives a little more protagonism to agent Davis. He's the one at the end thinking the Koenigs were robots. His first appearance on the show was on season 1, and he's being several times on this season. He's a fun little side character.

2025-04-12 19:11:15 +0000 UTCForgot to mention this detail. In 2x4 when Kara has the nano mask and is pretending to be May Coulson figures her out and he says May hates coffee. In this episode Coulson hands LMD May green tea showing that she is exactly May down to that little detail. She also hates coffee so she drinks green tea which also shows why she can fool even Coulson. These robots are really good clones.

2025-04-12 16:45:17 +0000 UTCGreat reaction to a fun episode! Gotta love the running gag with the Koenigs. 😅 The LMayD is finally revealed! My reaction to that kiss was the same as yours; "Oh no, please not now!" 😆 That's gotta be devastating to face, that your friend and colleague has been kidnapped for god knows how long and you didn't even realize... 😬 Completely unrelated; The outfit you were wearing for this run of episodes was awesome, BTW! It looked pretty and fancy, but also quite comfy(?).

2025-04-12 16:41:04 +0000 UTCReturn of the Koenigs! Given what actually happens and how bad things end (given Radcliffe now has the Darkhold), this is a surprisingly fun episode. The "what, you thought they were robots?" line is indeed aimed at the fans. Not only that, but the writers drop references to pretty much every fan theory about the Koenigs: clones, LMDs, replicas etc. Nope, they're just identical quads, with an older sister (who was incidentally referenced in 2x20 - there's a note on Billy's mirror to "call your sister"). Some really good 'robot' acting from John Hannah when Fitz is attempting to alter the Radcliffe LMD's 'programming' - the 'possessed' bit is really creepy! Though since the the programming is just nonsense, that implies that the Radcliffe LMD may have just been pretending all those actions to mess with the team. Simmons' realisation that she watched Radcliffe map May's mind is referring to the actions they took to save her in 4x03 - if you remember they bring up a holographic representation of her brain to figure out what was happening. I really like LMD Radcliffe's conversation with Mack - Mack is very 'robot != alive' (probably a result of his faith), and everything LMD Radcliffe says points out that it's not really that simple. If these LMD's have actual brains, that are essentially complete replicas of the originals, then why aren't they alive?

2025-04-12 16:17:20 +0000 UTCWe finally get an answer on the long running gag with the koenigs. Fun fact at the start of 2x20 we see Sam look at a post note on his mirror that if you zoom in says "Call your sister." To clear up some confusion on the superior Radcliffe end scene. He believes that Coulson is the cause of everything that happened in the MCU and AOS because Coulson is the only person to be "everywhere". It is a meta conspiracy theory because Coulson is everywhere. He was in ironman movies, Thor, Avengers. He connects all those characters together. He is the reason they became the Avengers. We see some pictures from those movies. He also has been involved with all the major events in this show so The Russian thinks he is the Cause of those events instead of being the one always there to help stop them.
