Never ask the King to repeat his orders.
Never ask the King to confirm what his wife say his orders are.

Baron Strucker instead is a card carrying democrat.
He really believe in tricking stupid american voters with what he believe it is the right thing for them (Obamacare).

Moondragon was trained when child by the Priest of Pama, not from a psycho killer.
And it is a kick-ass person, not a talking person.

Ward was undercover (but we didn't know) so he was interpreting a cool villain interpreting a boring agent.

Bashi remarked he knew someone would have May to comply but until them he would improvise with electric cables.

I think he will comply, if May ask him.
Politely or not.

The point is this is Agents of Shield, not the Scooby Gang,
They need to play SHIELD, where everyone is useful but no one is necessary.

Now Ward is openly bastard inside. But he is interested in Skye, probably because she have the attitude to turn bad things happening to her in good things. She see the good and discard the bad where others could only concentrate on the bad and would not see the good.

Reina as Drusilla?

She will ask Bakshi to comply.

Well, one is a mechanic and the other is a brain damaged genius. Not exactly the best materials for security agents.

The guys and gals apparently painted and built the alien stuff.
If the woman had the paintings exposed she could be found by the right/wrong people.

If you watch again the talk between Hunter and Talbot, you will see Talbot making a strange expression and agreeing "She deserve better and I'll make sure she get it" not agreeing to a proper funeral.

He become suspicious when she took his hand to reassure him, when they were talking in the car.

He started to suspect when Agent 33 took his hand when he told her as much he trusted/needed/etc.
Agent 33 is a bleeding heart and her brainwashing treatment is unstable and will not last.
They already hinted at it a few times

The process of brainwashing, apparently, is "lot of work", so it is done rarely.
From what we see from the show (and Winter Soldier) the process is not stable with people with strong will. They must refresh the process often enough or the subject regain enough free will to reject the conditioning.

Sorry, I don't want shock you, but I actually read that book in the 70s.
It was not a costume, just what passed for normal clothes at the time.

Senator Ward delivered the speech, so he compromised publicly himself against HYDRA (not a big problem) and pro SHIELD (a big problem).
When Talbot come to take care of the Hydra prisonniers, he has already new orders to not take SHIELD agents too.
When they hand Ward to the agents (cops?), Coulson warn them to do not…

The first to die is the Italian ambassador asking question and supporting SHIELD. The only smart enough to ask questions and don't believe Talbot chit-chat.

You just have to think about the man married with her.
Think about May's mom visiting May at home.
