Notes & Trivia[]

  • First appearance of Camilla Reyes. She is a character unique to the television series and does not as yet have a Marvel Comics counterpart.

Allusions[]

  • The title of this episode is taken from 0-8-4, which is a government classification used by S.H.I.E.L.D. and refers to objects of unknown origin.
  • Another reference is made to Tahiti in this episode, to which Agent Coulson again responds with, "It's a magical place". It is implied that Tahiti is some kind of a trigger word for Coulson and may relate to his apparent death at the hands of Loki in The Avengers.
  • The license plate of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Lexus reads ARG-457. "ARG" is an onomotopoeia, which may refer to the noise made by the creature on the end-credit title card of Mutant Enemy Productions.

Quotes[]

  • Phil Coulson: That's where the 0-8-4 was reported.
  • Skye: And an 0-8-4 is...?
  • Phil Coulson: An object of unknown origin. Kind of like you. Team goes in, determines if it's useful or if it poses a threat. Last one turned out to be pretty interesting.
  • Skye: And what was the last one?
  • Phil Coulson: A hammer.

....

  • Phil Coulson: You're not wrong. We still need to iron out the kinks. But Ward, you can speak six languages. Simmons, you have two PhDs in fields I can't pronounce. And Fitz, you are a rocket scientist. So work it out.
  • Skye: I'm... I'm good at stuff too.

....

  • Skye: Not a scratch, but your plane's totaled. I hope S.H.I.E.L.D. insurance covers hijackings.
  • Phil Coulson: Sure. Under "Incidentals."
