Truthfully, they were portrayed like rent cops eating their cereal and since that is not a SHIELD facility, they are mercenaries. Are we really expecting a Black Ops team who went rogue to refer to a legal analysis?

That is the reason for everything! Which, btw, do we understand any better why Coulson is so gaga over her?

No he won't. It wasn't even SHIELD it was unauthorized. Fury just took advantage of their naughtiness. Wanna bet it's where Winter Soldier came from as well (it was an old WWII base)?

Still trying to push the boring Skye/Ward romance angle. Well, Chloe did say that they were "soulmates" in an interview.

Wally, yes. Kyle, no. But I do agree about the DCU feeling like the worst part of the evening news. Ick.

Is this a hint MODOK is The Clairvoyant on AOS?

Anyone think Skye is half white Kree/blue Kree? And that's why her parents left the homeworld and crash landed on Earth? What if the guy in the tank is Skye's dad and Coulson's also been injected with her dad's DNA?

Exactly. He was already prone to delusions of grandeur. He sees himself as a victimized demigod.

Yes, it was totally unrequited. Slade is a romantic person and prone to delusions of grandeur, even before the mirakuru. I mean, when Ollie met him and started training him, I felt like he was almost a mirror of Shado's dad, but twisted.

He is irrational. But I think they've shown on the island that Slade has actually always been dramatic, prone to romanticism, and the mirakuru just fed the delusions of grandeur that already were present. He perceives himself as a Greek tragedy walking, so, all his stuff about Shado was just a projection of himself…

Total deathmark on her, agreed!

Big O!

Well, they do take the same tack, but only if you were not thinking of a competent group run by adults. I think I could assemble the same team at a community college. This show is childish, but not much fun. If they want to make it like Wonder Woman, go for it! Go all the way with the silly, but don't act like you…

Ahem!

That would be way more awesome, depending.

I really like Ian Quinn his part is lame. His first showing was pretty promising. Agree that Ward is also not horrible.

Someday, Marvel will write a one-shot based on this post.

There are side effects, Coulson was having his brain put back together by a machine. The damage was not to his brain, so they were doing something creepy like suggesting that his brain patterns are the totality of who he is (I'm sure Skye will set him straight later with some "soul talk"). The real question is why…

Namor's ego is entirely welcome, though.

Why did he want to subject Skye to the same thing that he felt violated by two episodes prior?
