I think Coulson thinks C Ward is about as a nice of a guy as G Ward. When he looks at the picture in the Senator's office, I believe that is C Ward with his sister. No Grant. No Thomas, either. I bet Thomas is either very estranged, or dead.

No, that's a fair read from his perspective. But, Simmons was traumatised by that event, too. She is clearly a changed person as well.

I believed that for 2 seasons. Fool me thrice… :D

Not the UN: http://marvelcinematicunive…

I mean, that's really cruel, but I'm totally into it.

I didn't like Sara as THE Black Canary. At all. I did, however, find her interesting. And I thought it was real crappy to kill off yet another female character so Ollie could moan some more and then set up a much lesser female character to become Canary. I mean, I don't hate Laurel like some people do, but she's…

Arrow lost me near the end of Season 2. It just got too soap opera for me. And after they killed off Sara, and gave us the Daddy Diggle storyline, I was like: meh. Felicity and Diggle were always my favorite characters, anyway. Ollie is too much of a whiner (but I love Amell in real life), I'm just not interested…

In this genre, I would say it's a better show than the other superhero shows on t.v.

Yes, and it's not the first time they've done it. I love it.

Right. They could have him working for HYDRA and being a hybrid like Coulson, where his powers come from genetic alteration instead of Asgard.

But, given the time it's set in, pretty fitting.

Does Maximus change shape, though? Because when Skye's dad loses it in front of Raina, he's looking at his reflection like he's expecting to see something else.

I agree. I think it might get a mention, but they will launch that property elsewhere.

I think they're tracking Ward. I think he thinks both Wards are asshats and he's going to use Ward to find Skye's father, because he believes one thing that Ward says, and it's that he's off his rocker for Skye. Remember how they tagged Raina the previous week?

It's very clear from CATWS that Nick Fury answered to a shadow group made up of world government leaders. That was obviously the agreement regarding accountability. SHIELD could go anywhere in the world before CATWS.

I think it was more than six agents and May was only giving Talbot the bodies they could count on scene. May would never trust Talbot.

It was to lure SHIELD out. It was a ploy. Coulson fell for it. The goal was never to frame SHIELD. It was to scare Coulson into moving his agents into position to make them fish in a barrel.

I thought Skye looked gorgeous this episode with her Mantis hairstyle! She'll get a fight scene in the future. I don't know why we need to have a ratings system for the women, though.

I definitely agree. I mean, Fitz kind of heaped a big 'ol plate of "it's your fault" on Simmons. Simmons has no obligation to return Fitz's romantic feelings, or to be in a holding pattern around him for the rest of their life, as a friend or otherwise. Obviously Fitz's condition is very extreme and the situation is…

Oh, I think her mom is Asian. I still think Skye is a great MCU version of Mantis. Her father is Libra in the comics, but does it matter to connect some of the loose threads in the MCU and combined, say, High Evolutionary and Mantis' origins? Because that character is fascinated by evolution and Mantis is sort of…
