The previews made it look like Skye was all Traitor! Busted! Coulson Disappointed! Was that a fake-out?
No, it happened. But there was some stony forgiveness at the end when Skye's Tragic Backstory and Terrible Parental Abandonment stuff came up.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Bah. I'm really not even feeling the need to get it from iTunes.

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.

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 forgot to mention I also liked the "I'm ditching you in Hong Kong and by the way your ill-gotten gains have been generously donated to the family of the agent your shenanigans led to the death of." way of dealing with hacker-boy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have to say, I thought last week's ep was a vast improvement over previous weeks! I was surprised there was so little commentary on it.

One thing that surprised me was I was initially expecting Skye to have fingered hacker-boy to cover her own tracks. "Hey, look, it was just this relatively harmless greyish hat hacker that isn't worth pursuing..." rather than it really being him.
I did kind of dislike the fact that he had really good points about due process and rights that Skye dismissed because her team is "the good guys" and he was later revealed to be a hypocrite. I guess I expected a Joss show to be a little less apologetic for the modern state of security.

I thought itwas one of those "made you think!" moments, not just a "judge the correctness of the statement by the quality of the person making the statement" thing. One reason Skye was so horrified is seeing things she believes in being tossed aside for money. Hacker was self-centered and arrogant, but he was naive, not necessarily evil. The grand ideals are still grand, and when you start making money off of them, it's an indictment of the seller, not the ideals.
