How to make a Super Villain Part I

Warning: Spoilers
You squish him like a bug in some gravity-bending element. I thought there were 118 elements, this one is 123... Or was that 128? Can't remember. Gravibloatium. I'll have to read all of my Marvel Comics and review all of the "new elements" they have made up over the years, they have plenty.

As far as the Fringeness of this episode, it starts out like "Welcome to Westfield" and we have some SUVs and Semi's being flung about like so much particle-board. And a Truck Driver who has a great HUD on his wind- "Shield".

No Fishtank on the side of the plane that got blown up last time, too bad.

We got here Ward as Skye's S.O trying to make her do PT until she pukes. She don't like it, Coulson has to show him a better way to get her to do it. Needless to say, the "Truth Serum" ruse from the Pilot was a ruse, but Coulson makes us think twice about that. But it is official now: He did NOT go to Tahiti.

Ian Hart is a scientist that was being transported in the Semi. Was there a bathroom in there? The very gadget that is used to effect his kidnapping was something he made. And now a Crook "Ian Quinn" (David Conrad) has made a "Bigger Version" of Hart's Gravity Gadget, big enough to cause a bunch of problems.

Initially, our guys are trying to kidnap this guy back, but when they find the connection to the Gravity Gadgets, something else is going on, as usual.

Is Skye still working for Rising Tide, or has she been assimilated by SHIELD? But she at least mastered Ward's gun-trick, and she's now working out with punching bags.

No cameos this week, but we see that Hart is still alive in the Gravity- Glop. SHIELD is making it's own demons.
