Obviously a very good actress, but May is a total one-note cliche on this show. They've capitalized on the fact that she's attractive and glowers. This episode is one of the first times she showed any personality.

Would've been so much better. To go with the mustache from last week.

Yeah, but you have Coulson tonight saying stuff like, "We're doing the right thing." So, it's about them being the underdogs. As it kind of always has been.

I absolutely love this film. The recreation of Star Wars as theater, the stellar-intense decoy the dragon scene, Bale and McCoughnehey's performances.

I do see your point, but she whipped up the formula right away, saw the similarities in Skye's DNA, and probably knew the whole thing was unstable.

A lot of Inhumans have lame and/or lesser powers. There is Benny, for instance, who works like a human deodorizer, freshens any room right up!

I know, but she seemed happy this episode. It kind of wierded me out.

Agreed, they're very intentional about all that stuff.

It would be crazy if Simmons was Sinthea Shmidt, and she and Ward (maybe as Taskmaster or Zemospawn) have been playing both sides against the other for a specific reason. Maybe to get a certain weapon for Baron von Strucker.

Skye's abilities and origin sound a lot like Mantis to me.

Absolutely.

Because all old white military guys look the same.

I'd like that, for one.

He liked the dog, but his family, on the other hand… A little incongruous if you ask me.

Definitely. Good call. The question is if Raina did it on purpose. And why would he believe that's all she has of the drug?

I think it's been consistently portrayed that Ward is awkward around people and can't relate to them. And now we know that it's because Garrett isolated him in the woods for months on end while training him (with really, not showing any training).

Yeah, all I could do was shake my head knowing that this will inspire a million awful fanfics.

They need one of those awesome time travel episodes, like Star Trek always does.

Yeah. Could be. It's definitely tied in to the Kree, I'd say.

Well, Ward has faith in his HYDRA girlfriend, Simmons.
