Play random MP3s on iPod and avoid iTrip files
Actually you do NOT have to worry about it at all.
You CAN use the random function with the iTrip tracks. The iTrip tracks are 5 second MP3's that start with a sound, then silence and then another sound. I read on a forum site (can't remember where) that the second sound is a cancel command, so…
1st sound tells the iTrip what frequency to adjust to, then according to the instructions you need to pause the track so the iTrip accepts the command.
If you DO NOT pause the track then the second sound plays and tells the iTrip to ignore the previous command of frequency change. It's actually quite clever.
I've tested this out and it works. Try tuning to a station and then going through all the rest of the iTrip frequencies….you'll hear each one over your radio that you tuned to your original frequncy.
So you can use the random function, sure every now and then you get a strange blip through your speakers…annoying, yes, but a small price to pay I think.

Open Letter to Apple Concerning the Mistreatment of Apple Customers
Most company's would release a tiny firmware upgrade for there loyal costomers to make them happy. Apple is just trying to stay afloat today but they are pissing off alot of customers over a tiny but important update. Plus the new 2.0 firmware has all the features that we have asked for from day one… It's a kick in the face to the people that supported them. We built the 2.0 firmware in my opinion. Apple could not have thought of a play queue on there own because only every other MP3 player in the world would have it as a must have feature.
Plus tring to sue Samsung over a player that does not look anything like an I pod. If they did not make so many of there users upset over this update they would not have to worry about Samsung. I will never own a Apple product again and the ipod was my first.

iPod Spotted: Homestar Runner flash animation
In response to the reply about the easter egg: yes it's true that many SB emails have easter eggs, the pun of the egg which is "douglas" will not be funny unless you are a frequent viewer or Homestar and SB Emails

I ordered on the 15th of May, and it will soon be a month with no iPod in sight. I don't mind waiting a while for a discounted product like this, but things are getting ridiculous

Open Letter to Apple Concerning the Mistreatment of Apple Customers
Your iPod has upgradeable firmware. It can be upgraded, it can be updated. Nowhere do I recall ever reading that Apple would upgrade it with every feature that new products support. They could, but don't get all pissy just because they don't.
Another thing. Just because some people took apart their iPods and decided that the new and old version are very similar does not make the task of porting firmware a simple one. Do not trivialize the effort it might take.
Seems like at least some people here take the concept of "voting with their wallet" seriously. I suggest you do the same. Given the price point of these devices, your expectations are a bit unreasonable. It might help to think of it more like a cell phone. You gotta spend the cash to stay on top.

Play random MP3s on iPod and avoid iTrip files
To answer those 2 comments:
A. Actually, erasing the tags is easier, at least in Musicmatch. You can select the files, select edit tags, select all, then erase the tags you don't want. I can do it in under 10 seconds.
B. Sometimes you need to change the frequency in the car, especially around larger cities.

Couldn't you set your iTrip to the prefered frequency, led mode etc. and then just delete the mp3's?

i am so angry there are no more ipod updates, they should give free updates on all software no matter what! windows is constantly doing that why cant macs, and i think they really need to allow us to update our old gen 1 and two ipods to the gen three, i think we are entitled to a queable playlist without having to try to sell our old one on ebay than shell out another 300 or 400 bucks

Samsung backs down from potential lawsuit by Apple, redesigns iPod clone
i feel particularly stung in this case though, apple could have announced intentions of releasing a new ipod. Or they could continue to support the old ipod. All I really want is to be able to make playlists on the go. I love everything else about my ipod but its lack of this feature, and sadly it is enough to make me not really like my ipod all that much.

Why not simply create a smart playlist on your iPod where the Composer or whatever is not Griffin Technology. Then just select that playlist and go random. Easier than erasing ID3 tags.

Don, don't you know that's the way of consumer electronics? As soon as you buy it, something better comes along at a lower price. It never fails. Murphy's Law and all that. When I bought my 27" Flat Screen Sony TV (not plasma or high definition or anything, just a true flat screen television) 4 years ago, it was over $700… within months the were less than $500… now… now I don't even bother to look, it's so upsetting.

Open Letter to Apple Concerning the Mistreatment of Apple Customers
I appreciate the reasoning for your letter, but it comes off sounding like your whining—I'd make it a bit more professional sounding.
Personal opinion: your iPod is not "obsolete" in the least. I have a 30Gig iPod (replaced a 10 gig). In fact, I wish I would have waited and gotten one of the classic 20Gigs on sale as 2.0 has a lot of problems at the moment. Regardless, your current iPod does what it's primary purpose is (without bugs), and you DON'T know that all 2.0 features could work on your original. Further, you don't know that they WON'T release 2.0 for the older iPods.
As for "soon", the meaning is all in the context: If I was at a restaurant and the waiter said "I'll be with you soon", I'd expect to see him in less than 5 minutes.

Open Letter to Apple Concerning the Mistreatment of Apple Customers
I don't see the problem for asking a software update for the old ipod. It's for marketing reason that Apple didn't realize it. The hardware is almost the same (see the test of the anandtech website). Even if it's clear that the new ipod will have new fonctions in the future (recording for example), the actual software can surely be realised for the old ipod. Apple is a company and we are customers (and yes fans perhaps), all the critics for the letter seems to me a litte crazy, it is not because apple does something that thing is right.

Open Letter to Apple Concerning the Mistreatment of Apple Customers
I'm not a big supporter of Apple products (the ipod is the only Apple product I own) but from what I understand the firmware for the previous generation of ipod was outsourced to another company while the 2.0 firmware was written in-house. This could explain why Apple is reluctant to add new features to older firmware as it would probably involve maintaining two separate code bases.
I also think it's a bit premature to say that there NEVER will be a firmware update for the older ipods. It's only been a little over a month since the newer ones were released. It's not like Apple to really comment on anything they're working on at the moment—new products and announcements really just seem to come out of nowhere. At the moment I would guess that they are more worried about fixing the bugs that have surfaced in the 2.0 firmware.

Open Letter to Apple Concerning the Mistreatment of Apple Customers
I think this dude is right on the money and should hardly be called an "a-hole", "baby" or "whiner" for his concerns. The true "brat" is the one who can toss $500 bucks to the wind and not care about customer support.
Comparison to automobiles are TOTALLY off base. Besides, Ford produced the Galaxy for 16 years with many interchangable parts. Buyers of this car were not, and do not, want to turn their car into a Mustang.
The big concern here is continuing support for those loyal customers who have "obsolete" iPods, like myself, who purchased these VERY recently. Might I suggest taking the "soon-to-be-obsolete" models OFF THE SHELVES several months prior to releasing completely new devices.

Open Letter to Apple Concerning the Mistreatment of Apple Customers
Also, I don't expect Apple to tell me years in advance that they're going to create a new iPod. But I do find it annoying that one day their website's front page says new iPod shipping in 4 days. There was no notice at all. Just by telling us a month in advance an iPod is coming out isn't going to make everyone wait to buy an iPod. People who think the 20GB is too much would wait and buy one when they're old. They would still sell them and the people who'd buy them would be people who didn't want to pay that much in the beginning, thus increasing their customer base. And I don't understand how that'd be a bad thing.
I, for one, used to HATE Apple products before I started looking at iPods and OS X. I wouldn't even walk in my local Mac Store. And you know what? Now I wish there were one closer. I wish I had the money to buy a dual processor Powermac G4 and a few Xserves as well as a 17" Powerbook G4 to connect to it all wirelessly. Apple products have that effect on people. I'm looking to buy a slighlty older TiBook or an iBook. If Apple focuses on getting people to buy and love just an iPod, they will be making customers that will last a lifetime.

Open Letter to Apple Concerning the Mistreatment of Apple Customers
Thank you Meat? I tried to allude to how we're at a loss by buying the best MP3 player because we don't have basic features common to most all other MP3 players. I mean doesn't anyone notice how much of a pain it is to try and cue up another song while stopped at a red light? Or while skating? Or while doing anything? I can't simply make a playlist at home that will cover all situations. Plus making playlists in musicmatch is equally a pain. Even making them in EphPod is annoying.

Open Letter to Apple Concerning the Mistreatment of Apple Customers
Matt, all very good points except you neglect the fact that on the Apple website for the classic iPod they advertised it as an upegradeable piece of hardware. Upegradeable doesn't mean that they'll only fix bugs, it means that you can UPGRADE it. I've not gotten a single upgrade, only minor bug fixes. On the go playlists is an upgrade. I don't even care for the stupid games. All I want is the playlists features like most everyone else with classic iPods want.
None of you who own a Classic iPod can tell me that you don't want those on the go playlist features. If you did, you'd be lying.

Geoff Calkins' Take 5: On Zach Randolph, trade rumors and crazy conspiracy theories
Five quick thoughts on the Zach Randolph trade rumors:
1. I don't believe for a minute that the Grizzlies are close to dealing Randolph. But the reaction to the rumors is interesting. So many of my e-mails include shots at Griz CEO Jason Levien, as if he's out to destroy the team. "Now Levien is going to move Randolph for fifty cents on the dollar," wrote one Griz fan. I even hear the crazy charge that Grizzlies management wants to move the team.
2. And, yes, it really IS crazy. Why is that the conspiracy theory that just won't die? Robert Pera and Griz management didn't just inherit a long-term lease in Memphis, THEY EXTENDED IT. EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO. That's a strange way to move a team to Anaheim.
3. I think the charges do suggest a baseline distrust of Griz management, however, and unhappiness with the direction of things. It's odd, at some level. Griz management has been proven right on the Rudy Gay deal. Everyone seemed to like the Mike Miller signing. The Kosta Koufos trade is one of the few things keeping the Griz afloat. So I guess it all boils down to the decision to replace Lionel Hollins, which was justifiably controversial. I said at the time it was a risky move for the Grizzlies, if only because the odds of the team taking a step back this year were high, no matter who was on the bench. Fair or not, any dropoff was going to be blamed on the coaching change. That's exactly what has taken place.
4. My own hope is that Randolph gets his wish and is able to finish his career in Memphis. One of the questions people tend to ask me is, "Who is the favorite athlete you've ever covered?" Z-Bo may be at the top of the list. More than anything, I love the way he represents and has come to embody Memphis. Z-Bo is one of us.
5. The NBA is full of athletes who are trying to get out of town, get to a better place. Carmelo Anthony wanted out of Denver and may now want out of New York. Dwight Howard wanted out of Orlando and then out of Los Angeles. Chris Bosh wanted out of Toronto and Deron Williams wanted out of Utah. But Z-Bo? He's made it clear. He wants to stay. Indeed, he's even said he would take less money to stay. I know that the NBA is supposed to be a cold, hard business, but that means something to Memphians, and it should.

The annual awards dedicated to country musicians that will be held this October has announced its nominees, and Carrie Underwood is among the list.
The Inspirational Country Music Awards is about to have its 14th annual held on October 16 at 7:00 P.M. and before that the awards organizer has announced the top ten nominees on July 15. Among the nominees announced, are some famous names on the music industry such as, Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw and many more.
Carrie herself received two nominees for Video of the Year for her clip "So Small" and Mainstream Country Artist of the Year. That amount is the same as Kenny's, who was also nominated for Video of the Year for "Don't Blink" and Mainstream Inspirational Song of the Year for his song "Never Wanted Nothing More".
Beside mainstream country artist, the awards also will be given to Christian country singers and also TV and Radio personalities. That's because the purpose of the event is not only to give a tribute to just any popular country artists but it is dedicated to reward the work of Christian and Inspirational country musicians.
The upcoming event itself, which will be held at the Trinity Music City USA Auditorium located in Hendersonville, Tennessee, will be hosted by Collin Raye. Meanwhile, for fans who want to attend the event, they can start purchasing tickets which is being sold via Ccma.cc.

|Criterion A
|Old St Stephens Church is significant as the oldest surviving church building in Brisbane and provides evidence of construction techniques used in Brisbane in the 1840s.
|Criterion B
|(Criterion under review)
|Criterion D
|Old St Stephens Church is significant as the oldest surviving church building in Brisbane and provides evidence of construction techniques used in Brisbane in the 1840s. Old St Stephens Church is an excellent example of a small stone English Gothic Revival church and is significant as an example of the first churches erected in Brisbane with permanence in mind.
|Criterion E
|Old St Stephen's Church is significant as part of a group of prominent ecclesiastical buildings of which this is the earliest component.
|Criterion G
|Old St Stephens Church is important for its association with a religious group of significance in the early settlement of Brisbane. The Church is continues to be a building held in high esteem by both the Catholic community and the general public.
|Criterion H
|Old St Stephens Church is significant as an example of the work of a prominent early builder, Andrew Petrie and as the product of a design attributed to renowned British architect, AWN Pugin.
|The land at the site was originally planned for church purposes in 1847. Six allotments of section 33 were set aside for the use of the Roman Catholic Church in September 1848 with the original deeds of grant being signed by Governor Charles Fitzroy in November 1849. From the early days of free settlement, Brisbane's Catholic population was significant with Catholics comprising 30% of residents in 1846. In 1849 and 1850 the New South Wales Government, under provisions of Governor Richard Bourke's 1836 Church Act, subsidised the building of Old St Stephens Church which was opened on 12 May 1850. It was built by Alexander Goold, to a design attributed to the internationally renowned Gothic Revival architect Augustus Welby Pugin, a personal friend of Sydney-based Archbishop Polding. With the growth of Brisbane's Catholic community and with Separation approaching, the Archdiocese of Brisbane was created in 1859. Old St Stephens became a cathedral but its capacity became increasingly inadequate and on 26 December 1863, Archbishop Quinn laid the foundation stone for a new cathedral. In the eleven years it took to finish the new St Stephens Cathedral (QHR 600107), provision was made for extra space in the old church. A wooden annexe was built onto the northern frontage and extra doorways were cut in the stone wall on this side. Inadequate accommodation was not the only problem, for the soft sandstone was crumbling, particularly that of the little belfry which had to be dismantled at some time before 1875. A temporary wooden belfry was erected to a design by architect AB Wilson in 1888. After the consecration of the new cathedral in 1874, the old church was used as a school by the Christian Brothers until they moved to their new site at Gregory Terrace in 1880. The Sisters of Mercy then conducted a school in the old church building until the permanent St Stephens School (QHR 600106) was opened in 1892. Since that time the building has been variously used as a storeroom, offices, display space, meeting area and choir practice room. Bibliography Andrews, Brian. 'St Stephen's Church, Brisbane, Queensland', essay for the Pugin Foundation viewed at http://www.puginfoundation.org/buildings/ on 21 August 2013.
|The chapel is made of locally quarried sandstone and originally had a shingled roof, now slate. It conforms to a standard English type of small church with a simple rectangular nave with a square chancel attached via an arch. A little square sacristy is attached to the north side of the chancel and a square porch gives onto the south-west end of the nave. Externally the elevations are extremely simple with an unadorned ashlar lower section with small lancets let into the wall above a roll moulding to form a clerestory. The chancel has a small rose in the gable with three lancets below. The west end of the chapel has a simple but attractive perpendicular window in the upper section with a door in the lower section. The original stone tracery of the window has been replaced with wood. Externally the sandstone has weathered badly. A small stone bell tower was once mounted above the western gable but was taken down before 1875. Internally the chapel has fine Gothic proportions. It has finely crafted timber trusses with collar ties and a timber ceiling above. The stonework has been painted and the ecclesiastical accoutrements removed. Old St Stephens Church is located towards the front of the site facing Elizabeth Street and south of the Cathedral. The open space surrounding the church is enclosed to each side by the southern elevation of the Cathedral, the rear of the buildings facing Edward Street and the back of St Stephens Girls School. This is an open grassy area that is now planted with rows of palm trees and crossed by concrete paths as part of the 1989 project involving the renovation of the Cathedral.

Channing Tatum in Early Talks to Star, Produce 'Bad Romance' for MGM (Exclusive)
UPDATED: "50/50" helmer Jonathan Levine will write and direct the film.
Channing Tatum is in early talks to star in and produce Bad Romance for MGM.
50/50 helmer Jonathan Levine will direct from a screenplay he is writing.
If a deal comes together, Tatum would produce Bad Romance with his Iron Horse Entertainment partner Reid Carolin.
PHOTOS: Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum: Exclusive Portraits of the 'White House Down' Stars
As of late, Tatum has been expanding his producing efforts. He also is onboard to star in and produce a film about '70s daredevil Evel Knievel for Columbia Pictures. Tatum will produce that film with Carolin, who is writing the screenplay. (Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti also are producing.)
Thanks to a string of hits including 21 Jump Street, The Vow and the semi-autobiographical ode to the male stripper, Magic Mike, Tatum has become one of Hollywood's most in-demand actors. But he continues to move around genres, from the actioner White House Down to Andy and Lana Wachowski's futuristic Jupiter Ascending to Bennett Miller's drama Foxcatcher, based on Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz. Tatum, who is shooting the sequel 22 Jump Street, also voiced a role in Warner Bros.' upcoming Lego Movie.
Since his breakout The Wackness, Levine also has become a hot director with talent. 50/50, which starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen, drew critical acclaim and was a Golden Globe best picture nominee.
Tatum and Carolin are repped by UTA and Management 360.
Levine is handled by CAA and attorney Todd Stern.

NFL Trends: Atlanta Falcons @ New York Giants Betting Trends & Injury Report
- Updated: January 6, 2012
The Atlanta Falcons and the New York Giants are set to square off in Wild Card betting action this week at MetLife Stadium. But before you make your NFL picks for the big game on Saturday, check out some of the great NFL betting trends that we have for the duel!
Atlanta Falcons Notes: Atlanta is coming into the playoffs on a high note, as it was able to beat the snot out of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to move up into the No. 5 seed in the postseason instead of the No. 6 seed, which avoided a third meeting this year with the New Orleans Saints. The good news for the Falcons is that they don't have the play the Saints. The bad news is that the Giants, in spite of their 9-7 record, have an impressive resume and are still the rightful favorites in this game. Atlanta is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight games as road underdogs of a field goal or less, but it is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games against teams with winning home records on the road. The Falcons are only 1-4 ATS in their last five playoff games, including going 0-2 SU and ATS with QB Matt Ryan calling the shots.
The real difference maker for the Falcons this year has been WR Julio Jones. We know that Atlanta didn't post the same type of record this year as it did a season ago, but we also know that it isn't because of the offense. This unit is as scary as it has ever been, and when it is clicking, there isn't a facet of the game that it doesn't excel at. Jones has become the deep threat that was really needed in this offense, and when he is at the top of his game, the field is incredibly vertical and tough to defend. WR Roddy White can still do it all, and TE Tony Gonzalez still dominates the middle of the field like few other tight ends can. Plus, RB Michael Turner is a man who will carry the ball and carry it a ton, and he can really wear a defense down.
Injuries really aren't a big time problem for the Falcons right now. LB Mike Peterson and DB Kelvin Hayden were both recently put on IR, but aside from that, the only injury of real note is the knee injury that has DB Brent Grimes listed as probable. For the most part, this is a complete team.
New York Giants Notes: It has been quite the interesting year for the Giants to say the least. They have won a ton of games from behind this year, and they have challenged the best and brightest in the league. They took down the New England Patriots on the road, and they were able to beat the Dallas Cowboys twice. However, they also lost by double digits at home to the Seattle Seahawks and were beaten twice by the Washington Redskins. It truly is difficult to put a beat on this team. The Giants were really dead in the water a few weeks ago against the Cowboys, down a dozen with a few minutes to play. Had that game been lost, New York would have probably been finished. QB Eli Manning and the gang are at their best when their backs are against the wall though, and that's a great sign for this team going into the playoffs. The G-Men are 5-1 ATS in their last six playoff games, and they have covered four in a row against teams with winning records, but they are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games as home favorites and are just 1-4-1 ATS in their last six as favorites overall.
The argument could be made that the emergence of WR Victor Cruz is the only reason why this team is in the playoffs. In a season in which injuries just ravished the team, Cruz was one of the only constants in the lineup with Manning, who took every single snap under center this year. Cruz started off this season fourth on the New York depth chart, and he ended the year with the third most receiving yards in the league. Sure, WRs Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham probably have more talent and are still probably the preferred target of Manning, but when push has come to shove, Cruz has more fourth quarter receiving yards than any other player in football, and that could be crucial down the stretch in this game.
Both DEs Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck have been battling nagging injuries for the majority of the season and both are considered probable for this game. DB Corey Webster has a hamstring injury that could keep him up in the air, while TE Jake Ballard, who surprisingly had over 600 receiving yards this year, has a knee injury that has cost him the last two weeks. He is questionable for Sunday's game. Aside from that though, it is great news that both of RB Brandon Jacobs and RB Ahmad Bradshaw are healthy for a change, as the two missed basically eight full games between them this year, leading to the Giants being ranked dead last in the league in rushing.
Head To Head: The road team had actually won every single meeting between these two teams from 1988 through 2007 before the Giants won in the Meadowlands in 2009 in OT. That being said, the guests have still gone a whopping 8-0 ATS in the last eight meetings between these rivals, a great sign for the Falcons come Sunday. The 'total' in this game has been dropping all week from 49 down as low as 46.5 at some sportsbooks, and that might be for good reason. Atlanta and New York have played to a 5-1-1 record for 'under' bettors in games in this series since 2000.

June 25--An advocacy group is asking a court to review the Maryland Public Service Commission's approval of the merger between Exelon Corp. and Pepco Holdings, arguing that a former commissioner had a conflict of interest because she took a job with an industry-supported organization after the vote.
Public Citizen, which opposed the $6.9 billion merger of Baltimore Gas and Electric Co.'s parent company and its utility neighbor to the south, filed a petition Monday in Circuit Court for Queen Anne's County asking for judicial review. Maryland's consumer advocate, the Office of People's Counsel, previously petitioned the court to review and overturn the merger approval.
The PSC approved the merger in a 3-2 vote in May.
Public Citizen raised concerns about Kelly Speakes-Backman, who took a job with the Alliance to Save Energy a couple of weeks after voting to approve the merger. The Alliance to Save Energy, a group that lobbies Congress on energy-efficiency issues, has energy corporations including Exelon on its board of directors. Speakes-Backman serves as its senior vice president of policy and research.
Speakes-Backman, whose term on the commission expired in June, denied that there was any conflict, saying she ceased communication with the Alliance to Save Energy after her second interview upon learning Exelon was on the board. She called the accusation "very upsetting."
"This is really just a bunch of sour grapes," she said. "I'm pretty appalled that Public Citizen would single me out."
After voting to approve the deal, Speakes-Backman said, she resumed contact with the organization and it later extended her an offer. She said her family relies on two incomes and she was forced to scramble to find a new job while the merger case was going on.
Speakes-Backman said Exelon contributes a tiny amount to the organization's budget and had no influence over the hiring decision.
"My decision was based on fact and principle," she said. "I think the people behind this false allegation should be ashamed of themselves."

Hyper-V Program Manager
For a while now I have been convincing people that I have psychic capabilities. The usual conversation has been:
Random person: I just put some extra memory in my physical system - so that I now have 2GB of RAM - and now Virtual PC can't use more than 300mb. What is wrong?
Ben: You should uninstall Nero InCD.
Random person: Gee... Thanks... That solved the problem... But how did you know that I had Nero InCD installed?
Ben: Lucky guess...
The reason for this problems is that once you have 2GB of RAM or greater in a computer - Nero InCD would request a working set of 1.3GB memory. This does not affect most programs - but as we lock memory for use - this stops us from using that memory.
The good news is that this problem has now been fixed in the latest release of Nero InCD - as reported by Christoph Wille:

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. "The Only Light in the Darkness" Review: True Lies
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S01E19: "The Only Light in the Darkness"
After giving us a peek behind the evil curtain last week, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pulled back just a bit in "The Only Light in the Darkness" so it could focus more on the emotions swirling around Coulson and his team in the aftermath of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s dismantling, May's lies being exposed, and Hydra leaving the Fridge door open, so to speak. It should come as no surprise that the more interesting half of the episode dealt with Ward's ongoing treachery and his appearance at the secret bunker, but Coulson's trip to Portland to save Amy Acker's cellist from the villainous Blackout gave us a nice glimpse at how hard this life has become, not just for Coulson, but for his whole team.
The world is changing around these characters, and it's easy to focus on big shocking moments like Ward's betrayal, because they're the flashier developments, but that's not all that's going on here. Over the course of this first season Simmons has gradually evolved as a character, and ever since she saved Skye using the alien substance found in the Guest House, she's felt like a stronger, more confident character, even questioning Coulson's orders and going behind his back in the name of science. Once the Hydra bomb was dropped in "Turn, Turn, Turn", though, her eyes were opened to the harsh reality of the world outside her lab, and her faith in S.H.I.E.L.D.—an organization that's been a huge presence in her life—was shaken. She's not sure why she's still working with Coulson and the team. Even her relationship with Fitz, a person who's been her constant companion for years, begun to change as she questioned what she knew.
For most of the series Fitz and Simmons have been played like siblings, characters with a deep bond who care very strongly about each other, but it's become increasingly clear in in the wake of recent events that Fitz's feelings go beyond that. Watching Triplett close in on what he feels to be his territory (and being better at nearly everything, it seems) is unsettling him, and he spent a great deal of "The Only Light in the Darkness" thinking about his own light in this newer, darker version of the world. When Agent Koenig put the characters through the rigorous lie detector test, he asked each character what they'd want to be in a box if they were stranded on a desert island. No one yelled, "WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!" during that scene, which was a missed opportunity in my opinion, but Fitz's response was pretty good, even though some people might think it a bit rushed.
After saying it depended on how big the box was, he told Koenig without hesitation that he would want Simmons to be in that box. She's been by his side for a very long time now, and she's incredibly intelligent, so of course he wants Simmons to be in that box (Simmons, for what it's worth, chose the TARDIS proving once again that she's brilliant). In Fitz's opinion, Simmons is what's most important to his survival. It was sad that he couldn't tell her the truth about his feelings when she confronted him about his actions toward Tripplett, but considering it appears he's only now coming to terms with his feelings, maybe it's for the best that he keep them to himself for the time being. Plus, if Coulson couldn't tell the cellist that he was alive, it makes sense Fitz wouldn't see this as the right time to tell Simmons that he loves her. In the grand scheme of things, he was probably right, because although he doesn't know it yet, the shit has hit the fan.
Back at the bunker, Ward put on his sexiest shirt, managed to spin his mission to get Skye to decrypt the hard drive as a way to prove his loyalty to Koenig during the lie detector test, and then thanked the man by garroting him. Guys, forget what I said about liking this new, "interesting" Ward, because he's on my shit list now. You don't just stroll in and kill a man like Patton Oswalt! Throughout the entirety of that scene I just kept thinking, "Constable Bob wouldn't have gone down that easily!" But alas, this is not Justified, and Agent Koenig was not Constable Bob (although was a Howling Commando in the comics, it doesn't appear that carried over to the series). I am very bummed about losing a great comedic presence like Oswalt, but if S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to keep moving at the same accelerated pace that it's maintained for the last three weeks, and if the writers want there to be stakes, there also have to be casualties. And I was only joking before about disliking Ward, because his storyline continues to fuel the fire that powers the show.
Last week I could've made an argument as to how the series could still find rational ways to redeem Ward's character—it certainly wouldn't be the first time a series made excuses for keeping someone around—but the more bodies he drops, the more it looks like Brett Dalton's presence on this series is going to be a limited one. And considering that S.H.I.E.L.D. is already grooming B.J. Britt's Agent Triplett as Ward's replacement, it wouldn't be the least bit surprising to see him die. It would be a shame, because you all know how much I adore Ward's handsome face, but if he goes out in a blaze of traitor glory, it'll be an exciting end to a character I once hated so much that I wanted to shove his face in a George Foreman Grill. I'd be forced to bestow him the Most Changed award for the year.
That being said, Ward's love for Skye is still in play, and S.H.I.E.L.D. really doesn't want to let us forget it. He used it to fool Koenig, he projected his feelings for Skye onto Fitz when he suggested that Fitz not wait to tell Simmons how he felt because their world was falling apart around them, AND he had that brief moment with Skye during which he tried to tell her the truth about being a shitbag (Side note: I find it hilarious that Ward thinks Skye wouldn't like him if she knew the truth about him, because I didn't like him until I knew the truth about him).
The series is laying it on pretty thick with all the love mumbo-jumbo, and the scene in which Ward and May discussed the idea of following orders no matter the cost was very, very heavy-handed. Ward's entire storyline this episode was pretty heavy-handed, actually. This might mean that instead of going out as a traitor, he'll go out as a tragic, last-second hero who finally discovers just how truly evil the turtlenecks are and switches allegiances like he's Italy during a World War. It could also mean the series isn't ready to part with Ward and his traitorous scruff just yet. With only three episodes left in the season, the S.H.I.E.L.D. still has a lot of ground left to cover regarding his loyalty to Garrett, but since he kidnapped Skye not realizing she's discovered his secret, it looks like these last three episodes will be just as high-pressured as the last three.
– I get why the writers had Coulson chase after Blackout after discovering that he'd escaped from the Fridge—his feelings for Acker's character meant Coulson had a personal interest, it meant he knew where Blackout would be (unlike the rest of the escaped villains), and it meant the show could continue the storyline of Coulson's refusal to accept S.H.I.E.L.D.'s dismantling—but that storyline really could have waited until the show could give it proper screen time. As it stands, it felt pretty shaky at best.
– Skye's reaction to discovering that Ward was Hydra was handled very well. She freaked out, but then got her shit together, and even remembered to replace Ward's penny. He has no idea she's on to him, especially since she pretended to reciprocate his feelings after the fact. Do you think she was able to leave a message for Coulson and the rest of the team, though? Like, maybe a big, "HEY YOU GUYS WARD IS AN EVIL SON OF A BITCH. P.S. IT'S KIND OF HOT. P.P.S. COME SAVE ME. XOXO SKYE" in lipstick on the bathroom mirror? Or on the revolving images? I don't know, just throwing it out there.
– May left the team! She packed her bags because Coulson couldn't forgive her (although we now know now that he has to or is willing to), and called her mom for a ride. Come on, like you haven't ever broken up with someone while out in the middle of nowhere in Canada and had to suck it up and call your parents to come pick you up. Okay, she also had her mom find Cobie Smulders' Maria Hill because Mama May is awesome, but it's still totally the same thing.
– I honestly don't know how the series is going to wrap up Garrett and Ward with only three episodes left. I mean, sure, Coulson, Maria Hill, and Nick Fury could bust in and just blow Garrett's head off at the turtleneck, but where would that leave us with Ward? Do you think that if/when the series is renewed for Season 2, Brett Dalton will be back? Do you want Ward to return? Do you want to see him redeemed?

If somebody leaves a penny on top of the door as an intruder alert, why bother to replace the penny if you're standing *inside* the room waiting for the person who put it there?
Katerine_M May 03, 2014
It's this late, and they haven't even decided whether they're going to renew it or not? That's just... sucky of ABC. Come on, ABC, get your act together - the writers need some sort of heads-up, or they'll give us a thrown-together season finale either way.
Assuming that they are renewing... (and I know I'm late, so if the news has changed, please don't shoot me):
I definitely think Ward's in this for the long haul. I think he's shaping up to be a primary antagonist (more so than Garrett, actually)... although I don't necessarily think he'll stay that way. SHIELD is about spies, after all, and since, at least at the moment, Ward seems to be kind of emotionally vulnerable... I think another poster got it right when he/she said that a huge plot point will be the battle for Ward's soul. Right now, Ward is reminding me a lot of Angelus, actually, in terms of his role in the story... especially Angelus in the "Innocence" episode (the one right after they have sex and he loses his soul, when he's stringing Buffy along). Except, unlike Angelus, Ward actually has a soul. A corrupted one, but a soul, nonetheless. And therefore he can be redeemed. But not without a lot of emotional tug-of-war first.
Question: at what point will Coulson (and I'm an episode behind because Hulu) find out? Because, as forgiving as Coulson is, I really can't see him forgiving a secret Hydra allegiance. Will he continue to try to win Ward back? Will he do the spy thing and pretend he doesn't know, so he can use Ward without Ward knowing? Will he just kill Ward? Will he even have the chance, or is Ward not coming back?
AnaPeradenic Apr 28, 2014
I'm refusing even to contemplate this series not being renewed.
DoesNotEqual Apr 28, 2014
At this point, there's no way they could rehabilitate Ward to stay on the team. They could send him off and have him pop up now and again to lend a hand during said rehabilitation, but he's killed agents, released criminals, and stolen harmful tech -- all of which would guarantee him a swift death or a lengthy imprisonment.
Establishing Triplett as the grandson of a Howling Commando also gave him an "in" for replacing Ward.
e313 Apr 27, 2014
what s this obsession with having things wrap up in the next 3 eps? and what's with the other obsession of either Ward being redeemed or dying within those eps?! as if the HYDRA storyline needs to be resolved now, now, now! what's with the shows killing main characters to 'keep the stakes high'?!
y not have Ward keep working for HYDRA and being their main opposition in s2? y not have Ward be made, Skye being rescued, and Ward disappearing in the great HYDRA machine to be seen maybe in a few eps in the future? y not have characters go back and forth and occasionally changing allegiance or temporarily working together according to their personal etc agendas? or be neutral? or simply go be somewhere else?

I guess that since so many network shows have a tendency to wrap up mysteries/plotlines within a season, that some viewers expect that from this show. I'm hoping for more of a multi-season arc that has exactly what you state happening. This is more common to comic books, and is far more interesting than all of the characters remaining static within their relationships.

I am very conflicted about the show's new direction, on one hard it is extremely thrilling and interesting, didn't see a couple of those twists that left we lost for words, but on the other I really will miss the chemistry and carry on with all the characters on the bus.. Its kinda sad to think about it because there's no going back, so yeah definitely going to miss the team being united and the light hearted humour..

Patton Oswald kinda dropped the ball when he was questioning Ward and forgot about his HYDRA line of questioning because he got one out of like ten right? That makes a guy dead I guess...

I honestly don't know if I can keep watching if Ward remains evil or gets whacked to be replaced by Tripplett. I actually liked Ward before the "big reveal." And I really don't like it when the character they have first made me get attached to is then sacrificed just so the writers can go "Ha! We pulled one over on you guys! Didn't see that one coming, did you?" There had better be a damned good explanation/redemption coming up!
I love FitzSimmons too, but I don't know if that would be enough to make me forgive what they did to Ward, if they do in fact keep him evil or kill him off.

Ward is my favorite character, has been from the beginning. I don't like this twist much either, especially as they are pushing him further and further from redeemable. I mean, he doesn't have to be redeemed this season. It would be way more interesting to end it on cliffhanger and have him come slowly back to teh team during the next season. If they get a next season. It could be a character study as well.
And I very much agree about Tripplett. He is not a bad character but I so don't want him on teh team. Even less as Ward's replacement. He feels like a disruption and what the team needs right now is something to bring them back together. A glue, if you will. And he is so not that.
I read the writers had meant for Ward to be HYDRA from teh beginning but I can't help to think they pulled that one out of their asses when they've seen the lukewarm reception the show got. It is a good twist and it makes the show thrilling to watch but it also hurts me and honestly? Given that I'm mostly annoyed with Coulson, don't care much about May and think they are hit and miss with Skye, without Ward, as much as I love FitzSimmons they wouldn't be enough to keep me interested either.

I agree. I feel a bit like the writers sat around and thought 'What can we do to punish those silly fans who liked the show and the characters from the beginning?'

That's a brilliant way to describe it.

P.S. Evil Ward is interesting, I'll give you that, and it has been fun seeing Dalton spread his wings. But I don't find good, stoic characters boring. I was pretty interested in the specialist with bad social skills and locked-up emotions. I was looking forward to seeing what influence Skye had on him, if she was like Bogie in the African Queen teaching Hepburn how to loosen up. I didn't want to watch her try to kill him.

It was great to see Amy Acker/Root on this seemed like a perfect fit. Skye handled that situation very well and loved the Bruce Banner reference.

Amy always fits. :-)
ILoveTVandDDsBB Apr 26, 2014
Ya she does haha

I personally can't stand Tripplett, but then again I really don't like any new characters being brought in in an ongoing season.

South Dakota state veterinarian Dustin Oedekoven is taking steps to repeal a nearly 40-year-old rule requiring quarantine for baby calves entering the state without their mothers.
Oedekoven will propose the rule change at the Animal Industry Board meeting Tuesday.
Currently the state requires 60 days of separation for young calves.
Oedekoven says the rule is outdated and new federal policies require a paper trail for animals moving across states.
The South Dakota Dairy Producers support the change. The group's executive director, Roger Scheibe, says it would be one less thing farmers have to worry about.
The board will also discuss updates on the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea, or PED, virus. Federal dollars are now available for newly infected herds to manage the virus and research vaccines.

We studied the effect of the furopyridine derivative antihypertensive drug, cicletanine, on blood pressure, vascular nitric oxide (NO) and cyclic guanosine 3′:5′-monophosphate (cGMP) content in the aorta and the renal and carotid arteries, aortic superoxide production, and serum nitrotyrosine level in hypertensive/atherosclerotic rabbits. The effect of cicletanine was compared to that of furosemide. Rabbits were fed a normal or a cholesterol-enriched (1.5%) diet over 8 weeks. On the 8th week, the rabbits were treated per os with 2 × 50 mg/kg daily doses of cicletanine, furosemide, or vehicle for 5 days (n = 5–6 in each groups). The cholesterol diet increased mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) from 86 ± 1 to 94 ± 2 mm Hg (p < 0.05). Cicletanine decreased MABP in atherosclerotic rabbits to 85 ± 1 mm Hg (p < 0.05), but it did not affect MABP in normal animals. Furosemide was without effect in both groups. In normal animals, NO content (assessed by electron spin resonance after in vivo spin trapping) in the aorta and the renal and carotid arteries was increased by cicletanine, and the drug increased cGMP in the renal artery as measured by radioimmunoassay. The cholesterol-enriched diet decreased both vascular NO and cGMP and increased aortic superoxide production assessed by lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence and serum nitrotyrosine determined by ELISA. In atherosclerotic animals, cicletanine increased NO and cGMP content in the aorta and the renal and carotid arteries and decreased aortic superoxide production and serum nitrotyrosine. Furosemide did not influence these parameters. We conclude that cicletanine lowers blood pressure in hypertensive/atherosclerotic rabbits. The antihypertensive effect of the drug in atherosclerosis may be based on its beneficial effects on the vascular NO-cGMP system and on the formation of reactive oxygen species.
