Did anyone else notice that during the dream sequence at the begining that Skye was wearing a flower dress?
Yes. And I'll bet quite intentional. For the first couple seconds I even thought it was Raina.
I wouldn't be surprised if the issue here was one of sensitivity, that somebody was worried about trivializing the Holocaust by reducing the Nazis to comic-book super-villains in a popcorn action-adventure movie. Or maybe they just thought that thinking about the real Nazis and what they did would get in the way of enjoying a swashbuckling comic-book adventure?
Granted, this has been done before (Hello, Indiana Jones), but I can see where the studio might reasonably want to put some distance between the actual horrors of the Holocaust and what's meant to be an escapist summer blockbuster. Better to air toward caution and eschew lots of Nazi imagery.
And, along the same lines, there's the whole merchandising issue. Did we really want lots of toys and tee-shirts and and Happy Meals with swastikas all over them?
Again, better to go with the Hydra logo instead . . ..
A few years ago, in Avengers Assemble, the cartoon before the current stupid one made for babies, the Allies only fought Hydra.
Every parent stresses about the Santa talk, or the sex talk, but what the #### about the Nazi talk?
I think my kid was seven when it first came up and he did not believe me.
Zyklon B, as if!
Thought I was was fucking with him.

I'm amazed that after 4000+ years, modern humans still know the apparent original pronunciation of "Kree".
Well, the worthy do anyway.
Out of curiosity, in the comics what happens to "normal" humans exposed to the terrigen mists? I'm just wondering if it looks anything like what happened to Mac...
Also; increased strength and rage issues sounds a bit like what's going on with Skye's dad no? Not to mention Bruce Banner...whos' serum was derived from samples of Cap's blood and now I'm wondering if Dr Erskine based his work on something Hydra may have found before the war. Wow, this continuity rabbit hole suddenly got pretty deep.

My understanding is nothing happens. There was an episode of the 90s Fantastic Four cartoon (which wasn't great, but did draw heavily from the comics) where Maximus the Mad wanted to release the Terrigen mist over the world to poison humans. The end result was nothing happened because all of them are humans, even the Inhumans. Of course, with Inhumanity, it was revealed that there are more Inhumans with dormant powers mixed among the population and the Terrigen Bomb activated their powers.
I can't possibly think how any episode that ends in a cliffhanger that sets up the midseason finale could possibly be considered filler. What happened to Mac alone moves it out of filler category, but it moves several pieces along (Skye meeting her dad, Coulson finding the temple, the team learning about the Diviner and its purpose, etc.). None of those things are filler just because the episode didn't resolve them.

I assumed they were referring to a thing between Bobbi and Mac.
Probably not, unless they're talking about a threesome:
I think "in on the other thing" suggests it's some kind of secret or plan.
No, they don't. But they do like enslavement as a defense mechanism a lot, it seems.
Personally, while it's cool to see them traveling, they did blow a lot of their budget last year on traveling. And it's not like Los Angeles isn't a good substitute for some place warm and sunny like Puerto Rico.
That being said, their trip to Sweden last year (which was completely unnecessary) sold to me that they were taking the production of their show seriously. Even though they weren't having big names, they did care about what they were doing. That being said, they do have to spend wisely.

Eye-Spy.
The Jaffa have helped with that.
Funny, it's usually the other way around.
Man, I really hope that Mack isn't dead. He's been a great friend to Fitz. 
What I really loved about this episode was Coulson's "acceptable losses" speech to Bobbi. That's why I've loved this show from the start. I'm glad he doesn't feel obligated to become Fury. And hopefully that's why Fury felt him important enough to bring back from the dead.
