I think the lesson I've taken from this episode is, if an alien bat tries to force itself into my mouth, I'll keep my damn mouth closed. Or of it surprises me and starts to get it, I'll bite the fucking thing in half.
I mean, seriously, how can you let something that big crawl down your throat?? Grab its tail and pull!
And if it gets in, it just ends up in your stomach anyway.

Though to be fair the character is pretty much an "annoying Millennial".

Hey we Gen Xers can be annoying as well. Granted it's rare for a 75er to be that. Those of us born in 1975, like me for example but it is been know to happen.

I think they were just confused by Zeke being from an alternate timeline. Sarge and his team talked about how his readings were different from the other invaders, but were non-native, so he was probably infected with a parasite.
I knew somebody would feel the need to say that, but it’s completely irrelevant to the point I was making...that she’s not a Millennial.
Which doesn't rule out her character being one. She could credibly play someone 10-15 years younger than her actual age.
At the risk of derailing this thread, I'm honestly just sick of people blaming other people for certain behaviors simply because of artificial generational divisions, especially when Millennial is often ill-defined and overly wide (by some definitions I'm a Millennial which is utterly absurd based on how I grew up compared to those on the other end of the spectrum).
As I noted in my review for the episode, I simply didn't like Sequoia (or any of those characters around Deke) because of their shallowness and not because of whatever generation they're supposedly from.

I didn't recall any other character being shallow.
Jemma stole the mission after her friends gave Fitz up for dead?
Jemma didn't change her name?

Jemma technically isn't married to Fitz anymore. The man she married is dead, and from an alternate timeline. The current Fitz hasn't married her yet.
So if and when she marries this one, her name is going to be Jemma Simmons Fitz Fitz?
The only parasitic aliens I know of from the comics is The Brood, but they are absolutely nothing like these things.
Nah. Fitz will become Leopold Simmons.
I think you're probably right here, or at least headed in that direction. I know Sarge and at least a couple of his teammates are based off characters in the comics, but I don't know anything about them and I had a similar thought when we first saw the footage of them leaving that destroyed planet. Something about his dialogue there struck me more in a "we failed" manner as opposed to "well, another one crossed off, let's get to our next world to destroy."
I was amused by both and I'm usually hard to please.Oh, boy. A Deke-centric episode that focuses on him as the head of one of those obnoxious tech start-ups full of shallow people.

The stinger was the absolute worst.
The universe is officially topsy-turvy. I've become the cynical one between the two of us.I was amused by both and I'm usually hard to please.
I loved that episode. Deke was totally doing all sorts of things that he had no business doing, but for the laughs, it worked. Sequoia was great. Loved the tag scene at the end. The only bad news is that she seems to have fallen for Agent Khan now, so we won't see her with Deke again.
Interesting setup going forward. Sarge and Snowflake have captured May, while Shield has presumably captured Jaco and Pax. So we ought to get some answers about what they're up to. I'm assuming Sarge is going to try to get May to join his crew. If the sales pitch is good enough, I could see her doing it.
Benson is indeed a fun new character. A great mix of I'm-getting-too-old-for-this-shit and I-can't-believe-my-eyes.

I've been going on the assumption that they'll both just change their names to Fitzsimmons. Though it would be weird to suddenly have everyone else have to use their first names for a change.
She's 44? Wow, I would have guessed half that.
Yeah, she was definitely playing it young-- or playing a character who was playing it young.
When in doubt, assume a parasite. Makes sense.
