- Ward was on a mission in Paris when he appeared. As he fights two gangsters with his bare hands and retrieves an illegal Chitauri high-tech device from a room, a beautiful French woman walks past him nonchalantly, changes her clothes, and walks away without changing her face. Typical Joss Whedon humor.
- Agent Maria Hill reappears. She was responsible for conveying Chief Fury's instructions to Coulson and ordering Coulson to recruit a seventh-level investigative team.
- Although the mobile headquarters is a huge plane, everyone calls it a bus.
- Much of the show's sci-fi flavor comes from Fitz and Simmons, especially Fitz's tech gadgets and dazzling tech. Fitz can not only restore the circumstances of the crime scene, but also reverse the whole process.
- Why didn't Coulson die? 99% of viewers and critics agreed: What you're seeing now is not the real Coulson, but his high-fidelity humanoid mechanical double. Maria Hill made it clear that the truth of Coulson's resurrection must never be known to him.

This show seems to especially like to abuse the science team at the end, although this episode is indiscriminate abuse. The one who chopped off his hand, is a tribute to SW again? Mama, I want to buy cod liver oil too

The first scene in the basement, when the light is on, the deep emotion in the slag-bearded ward's eyes is really unstoppable.
Shadows quotes
-
Isabelle 'Izzy' Hartley: Sir, Mark's down. Third party, possibly Hydra, and we're out in the open. What are our orders?
Phil Coulson: Go dark.
-
Brigadier General Glenn Talbot: We witnessed the single greatest intelligence collapse in recorded history, George. We have a duty to the American people to hunt down those responsible. So, no, I don't sleep most nights.
George Stephanopoulos: General Talbot, you said you have S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel and weaponry locked in a secure facility, so is it fair to say that S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Hydra terrorists who poisoned its ranks have been defeated?
Brigadier General Glenn Talbot: The corrupt institution has been dismantled, yes. We cut down the tree, we pulled up the roots, but let's just say I'll rest easier when we throw it all on the bonfire.
