She mentioned that his father died when he was young, and that his mother died recently.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I just watched the episode and I figured out what's wrong with this show: It's not fun!
Buffy dealt with heavy stuff but brought the fun, too. I want Coulson to be less serious all the time. I'm sure the actor can handle the switches as well as SMG could.

Also, Raina did mention that he's lost his mother but when she was talking about the woman who cried for days after his death, she was talking about the cellist.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
You are right. There is no one who is witty who cracks good jokes. There have been some practical jokes but no extended great snark.

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.
Just watched last night. I agree that the Coulson reveal was a let-down, but I have to think that 1) there's more to it than we saw. 2) The bigger question is why Fury would got to such drastic and horrifying measures to resurrect Coulson. As Hand repeatedly asks, why does Fury have so much interest in one agent?
Otherwise, I enjoyed the episode, and Skye emulating May was great, as was her having to get random security guy to use the computer because the big shot exec was clueless.
Not sure about the newer, darker Fitz. Seemed a little sudden, recent field mission or not.
I definitely think the Mike Peterson reveal was more shocking. (Not that he was alive, but rather the eyeball implant.)

I think that this is just one step in the Coulson reveal.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am Nora, and that is an awesome thing to be.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
To be fair, I give Coulson a pass with all his current Existential Angst. Usually he does give good snark.
I'm also sitting in the Nora/smonster corner. It's so pretty here!

I'm still trying to figure out why the bad guys bothered to break creepy steak guy out of prison just to kill him via cell phone poisoning an episode or two later.

Maybe the Clairvoyant didn't know about the resource of Raina before, and then when he/she did, thought she'd be a better go-between while simultaneously being displeased at how Po handled the Colson interrogation.
