Continuity mistake: Daisy and James are talking in the bar, and she says she thought Aussies hated American beer. He goes to sit down and says not when it's free, and he is holding his cup in one hand and the pitcher in the other, still holding both as he's sitting down on the bar stool. Then, in the next shot from behind, suddenly his cup and pitcher are already set down on the bar while he's still in the motion of sitting down. (00:13:04)
Continuity mistake: Daisy tells James, "It's not their fault; they don't know any better," and she's looking straight ahead right at him. Then, in the next shot, she's suddenly turned to the side, looking down at the floor while he's responding. (00:14:00)
Chosen answer: Coulson believes he was resuscitated then sent to Tahiti to recuperate. "A magical place," he calls it. But in the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." episode "The Magical Place", Coulson, through a mind-reading machine, learns that he was treated by S.H.I.E.L.D. and a fake memory of Tahiti was placed as a "mask" of sorts over the painful memory of the operation, which involved a drug seemingly of alien origin to repair the damage, coupled with a lot of morally dubious surgery.
