Haha I was gonna say, when they were questioning him about how he got back he should have said that they tied a rope to him.
The winch wasn't the trick btw, it was Daisy keeping it vibrating for longer than it would normally stay open.
I thought the trick was calculating where the re-entry point would emerge? Hyrda has figured out how to open/keep open/close the portal.

The trick was figuring out where the portal would open up at any given time on the other side, presumably you would then appear back on Earth at the nearest portal. I'm guess that everytime we saw the monolith "melt" it was in its portal state and a corresponding portal was open on the other side.
...and in this week's episode, Coulson learns the hard way about the law of conservation of momentum.
I figured that Coulson would go flying "up" out of the portal at the same speed he entered. He had a parachute on so he should have popped his chute once he was thrown out. I don't know why they just have him hitting the ground and rolling.
It's not like the portal is an actual doorway like you enter at one speed you exit at the same speed... you are actually entering a wormhole that rips apart your molecules and reassembles them at the other end... the velocity wouldn't matter at the point of entry because you would end up exiting at the same speed it takes to reassemble those molecules so basically the speed you enter is not the same speed you exit. If so, then you'd be exiting at the speed of light and would probably end up being shout out of the atmosphere like a bullet if the hole was in the ground or into the side of a mountain if it was vertical.
I don't remember them saying that. They sure didn't work that way in Stargate or Portal.

I'm not saying that it was said anywhere... I'm just looking at the physics of a wormhole or a teleportation portal in general. If it is a wormhole, the physics of it would be like walking thru a door, but if it is a teleporter, it wouldn't matter the speed at which the object enters the portal, because it would disassemble/reassemble at the thresholds both in and out without the need to factor in the velocity of the initial entry point. Makes more sense. A wormhole on the other hand would be more like a folded part of space/time making basically a shortcut between two points in space like a hallway... only then would the velocity come into consideration upon exiting the portal.

Ok.
So who all kept saying Ward was going to be redeemed? Because he wasn't, and he's dead, and he wasn't redeemed.
So what's this monster thing? I mean as Inhuman Gods go, he doesn't seem all that dangerous. A few bullets in the back, a flare, and he's down. Sure, the immortality thing seems to be going well for him, but you trap him in something, seal it, and no more threat I guess if you can keep him from leaping bodies.

Best line ever.

I took it as a giant statue of the Hydra emblem. Someone there must've been worshipping the Inhuman, I'm thinking. (Maybe folks sent there from Earth.)
So it wasn't explained, but I'm guessing Ward slipped through the portal at the very last moment?
I was amused a bit:
Military team goes through a portal to another planet.
The villain turns out to be a slug that can switch hosts.
I was waiting for Ward's eyes to start glowing and him to start speaking in a much deeper voice.

"My guess is that it's the MCU version of The Hive."
Yep, make perfect sense given the history of the character in the MCU universe as well the lead up in the show. The real reason they wanted inhumans around when he case through. Tough way to keep Wards character around. Larger question will be iof they are going to keep on with the show or try to wrap things up with this season. plenty of material always but AoS zips through major plot points quickly.

Yeah me too until I noticed the under the skin tentcle under his temple start moving.
I was thinking the exact same thing when they showed the Hydra team! :lol
I loved the part where the guy who shoots lightning was telling meltly metal guy (see how well I follow this?) that they're all scared and don't want to be there and May says "I'm not.". :lol
