Show's been picked up for a full season!
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Well, at least it won't do a Firefly on us. Also noticing that it hasn't been preempted (yet).

Skye is still not doing it for me.
Me either. She acts like a teenager, she is unsophisticated, petulant, and impulsive. I can't decide if she's supposed to be immature or they're trying to make the character seem younger than the actress.

I don't like Coulson playing Svengali by trying to turn Skye into a proto-Natasha. The girl lives in a van, she does not have the wherewithal to stroll into a high class function and schmooze with a supervillain (wannabe, anyway).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Was Natasha born into that sort of life, or did she learn how to pass?

Coulson didn't convince her to crash the party, that was her idea.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
And technically, she didn't have to pass among the high-and-mighties because she was invited as a hacktivist from Rising Tide, not as One Of Them (or under SHIELD coverstory).

But she was trying to pass as an insider at first, right? I mean, when she met the one dude and then started schmoozing him about his family based on the info that May and Fitz/Simmons were feeding her, she was trying to pass as one of them. Maybe she didn't realize she didn't have to try to pass until she talked to Super villain dude and he revealed that he knew that she'd hacked her way in and had allowed her to come because he wanted to recruit her? That was a little confusing for me, but I don't really care about Skye so I didn't worry overmuch about it.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
My favorite moment was Coulson saying "that wasn't the off switch" and then being yanked sideways right before the commercial break.
We need more quippiness. Firefly's second episode broadcast was the eminently quotable Our Mrs. Renyolds. This show needs more of that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Firefly found itself faster than most shows. Settling in around episode 3-5 seems pretty common. And this one does have some young actors who haven't been given a lot to go on for their characters yet.
