Makes sense. First arc, What is Skye up to?, is done, time for a recap of sorts. Then proably on to, Can she redeem herself/Further suspicions of Coulson/Who are those baddies?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Not sure why they felt the need to blow Chan up instead of just shooting him. I mean, even if Coulson only brought the knock-out gun and May doesn't carry a gun for inexplicable reasons, they seemed to have beat up plenty of armed guards.
Didn't Chan incinerate all the bullets they shot at him?
I thought his motivation was tissue thin. All that talk about being meant for bigger things and meanies suppressing the use of his gift, but he never seemed to spare a single thought for anything useful he might be able to do with it. Apparently the masses were supposed to just fall down in worship because he could light his hands up as if he were a Bic. At least in the pilot Mike seemed to have some inclination to actually use his powers to save people from danger.

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.
Didn't Chan incinerate all the bullets they shot at him?
True. Though those were the goofy knock-out bullets. Though I guess lead wouldn't do much better.
And yeah, he turned Super-villain awfully quick. On the other hand, wasn't the Extremis formula having a similar effect on Mike, too? I'm willing to chalk it up to him getting shot up with the formula. I agree he didn't really think through the actual usefulness of being a human flame-thrower.
Steph,
I was referring to Skye agreeing to work with them and then deciding she wanted to become an actual field agent (hence her training with Ward). No official joinage yet.

Ah. Maybe I should watch it. It doesn't sound like much happened, arc-wise, though. The previews made it look like Skye was all Traitor! Busted! Coulson Disappointed! Was that a fake-out? That was pretty much the only thing I was interested in from the preview.

No, it happened. But there was some stony forgiveness at the end when Skye's Tragic Backstory and Terrible Parental Abandonment stuff came up.

I'd say just wait for the moment when May confronts Skye to hit Youtube, and you'll have the worthwhile 10 seconds of the episode at hand.

Coulson made her put on the Bracelet of I Can Do Whatever I Want to You if You Screw Up Again.

Hey. New board.
Bah. I'm really not even feeling the need to get it from iTunes.
Is it not free on Hulu? I have Hulu Plus, and it is, but it may be plus only.
