And his "brother" that he's playing Call of Duty with? Himself.

Yes, and all of her questions to Fitz after T.A.H.I.T.I. wanting to know what happened and collecting Skye and Coulson's blood.

So she can run to the private sector to be protected by Stark, but Coulson should stick with SHIELD?

Yeah, the showrunners are not stupid, just weak storytellers.

Yup. Fury is awful!

Yeah, I want Fury taken down. And I want Coulson to break with him.

I think she might be HYDRA.

Coulson knew the guy's history.

Yup.

For all of this sort of thing directed at Coulson, I notice on every occasion, like his hero Cap, he gives them a warning of exactly what he is going to do, and then they walk into it, and people end up dead.

I agree with you, on a level. It's one thing to build it, it's another to ask "but does it tell a good story?" I went back and watched the first part of the season, and I get the #itsallconnected, the mirroring of the characters/themes. I find it conceptually impressive. But, the action is poorly staged (with…

That, and they only get their lines/motivation just prior to filming. I think she's naturally charming, similar to Gregg.

Simple. End of season headshot from May.

I might be giving them too much credit. I guess we'll see.

I do think she might have persuasion/empathy powers of some kind. #itsallconnectedjustlikeSkye!

I always took it to mean a superhero intended for a t.v. format, never film.

Because the character he was based on WAS HYDRA and then joined up with Fury. Making it a reversal seems kind of pointless.

In the comics, this happened and he just went into the Darkforce. Kind of similar to what happened to Gravitron.

Yeah, what didn't hang is why Koenig is such a chump. He could've just not given him a passing grade and told Coulson to suck it up.

I like Skye now, really did not at first. But, I still need an explanation as to why everyone was over the moon for her at the outset. I guess it could be, as Coulson says, that they never come across an unknown, and that's what excited him/them about her.
