Para citar Clark Gregg (quem joga o agente Coulson) :
What’s the deal with Tahiti. Tahiti’s a magical place. I keep saying that… it’s where I went to recover after being impaled and as I say in the pilot, it was a spectacular experience, I had a beautiful physical therapist and I read Travis McGee novels all day.
But every time someone mentions it lately I seem to go into post traumatic stress so I think there’s a little more to Tahiti than meets the eye.

There’s a much darker, more interesting story there. Something much more magical has gone on to bring this guy back to life.
Por causa da palavra "mágica" uma teoria é que Feiticeira Escarlate teve algo a ver com a sua ressurreição. ( Feiticeira Escarlate aparecerá em 'Os Vingadores 2' ) . Mas no momento é pura especulação.
Em uma entrevista (18 de novembro de 2013) produtor Jed Whedon tinha isto a dizer sobre a ressurreição de Coulson:
We know that there's going to be a lot of theories and there's no chance that whatever we reveal won't, at some point, be written on the internet. We're just trying to come up with ways to make it surprising or make it not how they expected it to unravel.
We know what it is, but we know that no one else does yet.
A última frase é interessante, porque implica que as teorias mais populares, das quais Jed Whedon deve estar ciente, estão provavelmente erradas.
