Skye's being used. If she's not, I'm going to lose a whole lot of respect for Coulson.

I liked that they didn't do another round of "Coulson: live or Memorex?" again. That's something that could get old real fast.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want to know how Skye has joined this top top top secret organization at Level 7 clearance but they didn't confiscate her personal cell phone where she might, I don't know, get a lot of calls from people from her former hacktivist anarchy cell. Really?

Yeah. I suspect Coulson knows what she's up to. Because otherwise he'd be kinda' stupid to just trust her.

eta: Sorta' x-posty with Connie.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Earth-616 is the designation for the Marvel universe comics canon continuity. We live in Earth-1218.

Marvel cinematic universe is Earth-199999.

Do WHAT now? (so not a comics person) Also, I thought the TV-verse was supposed to be same as movie-verse.

...this is one of those things that could make me go cross-eyed, right? Forget I asked.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think we're supposed to assume Coulson is playing an even longer game than she is, but yeah, I was wondering about that too!

I thought in the first episode we saw Skye put some sort of sim card in her bra as she was leaving her van. So, theoretically, she could just get a new phone and have access to her former hacktivist anarchy cell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the only two characters I'm not all that interested in are the two leads

Phil still not a lead? Where do you place him?

I thought the TV-verse was supposed to be same as movie-verse

I haven't seen anything stating that the TV-verse was different. Where are you getting that from?

I don't think the reference to 616 was supposed to indicate we were in the comic book world, I think it was just a callout to the comics geeks.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I feel like they are trying to push Skye and Lone Wolf dude as the leads, no? I think Coulson is definitely the hook for lots of people because we know him from the movie, but a lot of the first two episodes have centered around the other two with Coulson being the facilitator/master manipulator/puppet master. Maybe that makes him the lead, too? I don't know. If so, then I like one of the three leads. That's better than Buffy!

I, too, certainly hope that Coulson is playing Skye. Although, "She's a risk" is going to get as tired as "Tahiti is a magical place" if they keep saying it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I liked that they didn't do another round of "Coulson: live or Memorex?" again.

There was a reference, though -- she said something about a midlife crisis, and he said afterlife.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, TV-verse is part of MCU.
