Coulson didn't convince her to crash the party, that was her idea.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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).

"We have trust issues." Mylar
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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I did like May talking about Coulson sacrificing himself for the Avengers and Coulson muttering "And my card collection."

I also got a kick out of Fitz implying that Skye used her looks to get Quinn to let her into his office, then trying to back-peddle when pressed on it before just giving up and saying "Boobs".

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Well, at least it won't do a Firefly on us. Also noticing that it hasn't been preempted (yet).
The ratings have been good, so ABC is very happy.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I wonder if Pretty Boy villain will be back this season. He was kind of fun.
The actor reminded me of Tahmoh Penikett, in that sort of strong-jaw-he-clenches-while-delivering-lines way. Then I looked him up on IMDB and realized he was the cutie on Relativity way back in the day.
I'm still not feeling it for Ward or Skye, individually, and for damn sure not together.
