I always got the impression that Bobbi and Mack were very close, especially after surviving the fall of SHIELD together. I think Mack was probably Bobbi's "break up buddy" when she and Hunter split. Most of that final scene was simply looks, but damn, those three really had some looksAnother point for Fitz/Bucky would be that Fitz would be all about upgrading Bucky's arm. Not making a life-like replacement like he did for Coulson, but just making it work better for him. I'm sure the operations he's had over the years didn't take long-term comfort into account, since he spent so much of his time on ice

I agree - Len is ambiguous. Even his noble actions are framed by him as believing that you don't leave your crew behind or you avenge crew members who are killed, etc., never actually admitting that he doesn't want to let Savage destroy the world
( ... )
Len has a code. We just don't know exactly what it is. Not sure he really understands it himself sometimes.
It was so nice to have fandom treated nicely on a TV show. And Joan had more than a bit of geek cred, which was also nice to see. I hope Cornell gets some more TV work in the US.
I think Mack not acting like he was close to Fitz in this particular episode was in service of the plot. And not only is Jemma back to distract Fitz, but Mack is teamed up with Daisy out in the field, so Fitz and Mack don't have as much time together. Which is a bummer.
I would like to see some little hints that things are different in Barry's new timeline, small things like someone being allergic to something they weren't before, and have it build up to a big Time Travel Is Not A Good Idea moment.
I figured Mick was still alive. I like this twist that they're keeping him.
I had a feeling he was still alive, as well. For one, we never saw Leonard actually killing him, but rather just shooting the gun. I've learned from my time watching anything is that, if we don't see a body, if there is no evidence supporting that someone died (even off-screen), then there is a good chance they may still be alive. I also felt that, since Mick was a personal aspect of Leonard there would be no way they would get rid of him that easily. I liked that twist was that Chronos was actually him this entire time.
I'm not entirely certain why Rip thought he could take on Ra's myself, since he wasn't exactly savvy with fighting against that huge gang thug in that previous episode, however I liked that he sent in Kendra knowing that she would be able to get through to Sara, since they had previously bonded before.
Yes, Ray, 1960 is a terrific time to be a non-white-male as the past few episodes have overtly discussed.I was so annoyed with Ray because

Good point on Mick being such an important aspect of Leonard!
I mean, it would be AWFUL to suddenly face 1960s racism and sexism after growing up in the 21st century. Not that things are great by any means, but certainly it would be an adjustment, and I'm sure she didn't tell Ray every time someone said something horrible to her or every time she felt threatened. I loved that Sara was like "sucks to be a non-male in this age" for the past couple eps.
I don't enjoy Ray/Kendra much as a couple either. Though I'm glad that they did 2 years of montage so we didn't actually have to watch the developing relationship because that sounds boring. I'm not generally a fan of canon pairings, largely because they are usually done in annoying cliched ways.
Ooh there should totally be more interaction with AoS characters and Avengers. And I also want to see Fitz and Simmons geeking out over meeting Bruce or Jane SO BAD. And a girls' night with Bobbi, Melinda, Natasha, Maria, and Sharon. And the whole AoS team getting to witness Coulson geek out over Captain America in person, since that would be hilarious. And maybe Bucky Barnes beating the crap out of every HYDRA character in AoS.
SHIELD: Mostly, I thought the good bye scene was terribly over the top. I keep seeing LGBT characters dying these days, so I can't care less about a group of straight friends breaking up for spy reasons.
Elementary: I love Fiona's storyline. I think they do a great job with it.
It was very over the top. Especially since Bobbi had previously said she wanted to quit, and so the idea that being forced to quit is just the biggest sacrifice - considering they were almost killed or put in prison forever - was a weird form of drama.
The stats on LGBT characters getting killed are horrendous right now - I don't even watch the shows where this has happened, I don't think (I'm very behind on some shows), but it's still appalling.
I think Fiona is just a cool character and I'd love to see her more.

And I feel like Steve's first comment would be "Dammit, Fury!"
