Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

I love the idea of Quinn as Evil Nick Fury.
I really know nothing about SHIELD or the Marvel Universe other than what I've seen in the various film properties to date (Iron Man/Avengers/Hulk/Captain America and Thor) so a lot of stuff goes straight over my head. All the Bucky talk? Yeah, I'm just like, Bucky who? But I think it's cool that they are throwing that stuff in for the more serious fan.
I give up on the Coulson thing. I still enjoy the character but I'm bored now with trying to figure out what happened to him. Kind of like the "Who's the new supreme?" storyline on American Horror Story. I know it will likely be important to the story but I don't care anymore. I'm glad May made him get out of the house and quit moping about it.
I am interested in the Skye story more, now. I want to know why she was an 0-8-4. What can she do? I thought this show was explicitly not supposed to have mutant powered people on it because of all the property rights issues surrounding X-Men. I mean, yes, we got the blizzard dude this episode plus the Graviton dude from earlier who seem like they acquired mutant powers but they were as the result of experiments gone wrong rather than just being born that way and both hustled off screen at the end of the episode. Mike's still around, but he's not a mutant. I'm assuming that if you took off the Centipede thing without killing him (which I'm given to understand you can't do, but if you could) he would go back to being regular Mike with no super strength. I mean, maybe Skye's not a mutant either, but the agent dude was talking like she had powers. Who knows? Anyway, I'm intrigued and I haven't felt that way about anything on this show in a while.

I like that part of the Skye mystery. Also, I got lost, is she supposed to be a child that was born in China?

Yeah, it made no sense for Bucky's name to be something Skye would single out. Clumsy.
If she's spent a lot of time hanging out with Coulson on the Bus, maybe Skye recognized the name from him telling Captain America stories?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Maybe Quinn will end up being Evil Nick Fury.
"Hi, everybody!"
"Hi, Dr. Evil Nick!"

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.

She was found in China. Not sure if she was born there.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Chloe Bennet is half Chinese, so that could be a significant detail in terms of who Skye's parents were.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
mostly because he reminds me of Tamoh Penikett and I kept having to remember that it wasn't him.
THAT's who that was(n't)! Thank you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, I had to do that "Tahmoh? No" mental dance all episode.
Skye's origin story reminds me of something and I don't know if I remember enough details to even ask for help figuring out where it came from. Frustrating!
