Also i noticed this when reading the comments on that facebook
So if he was released from the fridge, in episode "providence", I am guessing that the female that yells out from one of the cells that she use to be a psychiatrist might have been Moonstone.[citation needed]
.
hrm. Call me crazy. But I am pretty sure this is someone misremembering Arrow vs Shield. That was Harley Quinn in Arrow.

Yeah, its possible that person is remembering it wrong.

The scene was pretty chaotic, and there was a woman screaming something. I need to watch that scene again to verify exactly what happened.

So I re-watched that scene ,and you are correct that was not in the agents of shield episode.

Of note tho, Garret breaks open the cell with Blackout ( not to be confused with the half demon Blackout from Ghost Rider) , and gives him a keyphrase "Follow your dreams".
2 women were also with Blackout, one with Blonde hair. Garret gives a special nod to the blonde haired girl as she is leaving,

Blackout ,and Moonstone (who also has Blonde Hair) have a history.

I'm also starting to believe Agent Ward retrieving the berserker staff was more then fan service, and he may be a character in the Marvel timeline that hasn't been named yet.

ward beating the unbeatable test, and killing Kroenig like a chump was pretty retarded.

Fitz is still stuck in high school kid mode over Simmons. Outside of the above blunders was a solid show. Seems like they are dropping names a lot more now. Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner hehe.

Yeah, it was solid. May not be as great as the last two episodes were, but it was still an entertaining episode that was leaps and bounds better than the mediocre episodes from early in the season. Villain of the Week was lame, but I didn't hate any of the main characters this week. Not even Skye, after she finally manned up and stopped trying to hide.

Beating the "unbeatable test" was simply beating the dead horse of human flaws being in "the system". Even with the best equipment available if you aren't asking the right questions or are out of the loop it doesn't do much good.

So Triplett is definitely not a double agent

In the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode "The Only Light in Darkness", it is revealed that agent Antoine Triplett is the grandson of Gabe Jones of the Howling Commandos.
And we also now know more then one Super Human escaped from the fridge per Skyes conversation. I think this is the first time they coined the term Super Human in the MCU, but could be wrong.
Yeah, the episode wasn't the greatest, but still had some good info in there.

So next week is Maria Hill who currently works for Stark.

In the show's timeline it is still right after the movie, so she probably doesn't work for Stark yet.
The TV storyline is well past the movie. two episodes ago they mention Cap sinking the Carriers. We've already watched the US government seize all remaining Shield installations. I.E. the conversation with Glen Talbot before they escaped on the Bus.
Maria Hill is seen taking an unspecified job with Stark industries human resources well before Romanoff stands before a Senate hearing....

Now if the TV show fucks up the continuity, which they might, we should see Maria working at Stark next episode.

Two episodes ago was what, 3-4 days in the show? Now, we clearly don't know exactly how much time was spent before Hand and Ward took off to the Fridge, but I got the impression it was not more than a few days after Hydra revealed themselves. They could have just left out weeks of time, but if so they did a terrible job of conveying it. They couldn't have spent more than a day or two with Ward going to the Fridge and raiding it, because Coulson and team aren't wondering where the hell he was for all that time. Then Paxton gives Ward 24 hours to decrypt the hard drive, which we are apparently still in the midst of. So unless they spent a ton of time that wasn't shown at the Hub, I'd say it is at most a week since the conclusion of Winter Soldier. If Maria Hill is interviewing for a new job within a week instead of helping round up rogue Hydra agents and ensure the safety of whatever SHIELD members she can, that's pretty surprising to me.

This is, of course, ignoring all of the inconsistencies like traveling back and forth to the base where the Flower Dress girl is, or the fact that Mae apparently hitchhiked across Canada in this time, but we have to ignore that sort of thing because you know next week we're still going to be in the plane with Skye and Ward, so no more than a few hours can have elapsed since Mae left. Same with the Hydra secret base, it should have taken days, but Coulson's team was only apart from Ward for a couple of days at most.

I follow your logic about the government seizing the bases (although a Senate hearing could legitimately be months upon months later), but I think we're dealing with fucked up continuity more than anything, and I don't think much time has elapsed here yet. So I think she *shouldn't* be working for Stark yet. If she is, I'll be disappointed.
