why would one of Skye's parents tell Quinn to shoot her?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Maybe because he thought it would activate her powers?

Well, it's not like the Clairvoyant is nice. Plus it causes the team to go after what cured Coulson.

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.
The Guest House was stated to be a non-SHIELD facility. I do agree that it was very off-putting that they killed two guys just doing their jobs. Especially with the Night-Night Guns available.
I think the reason Coulson was so shocked was not because aliens were involved, but rather the whole pulling fluids from half a dead alien to make medicine thing.

I am hoping that the choice to kill the two guards will be something that is revisited once the urgent SAVE SKYE blinders fall from their eyes.

Hmmm . . .
Of course, the idea that Fury wouldn't have someone reporting back on how Coulson was doing is ludicrous, now that I think about it.

All is well that ends in pizza.

That may have been shown by the end of this week's ep. Except it seemed like a log, rather than a transmission.

Huh. That was... disappointing.
1. I've seen this episode before, it's an SG-1 episode called "Hathor", and at least in that episode the female characters take down the evil alien queen without needing any of the men to help. They get themselves and the rest of their team out of trouble.
2. As in "Hathor", one of the men on the team is raped by the mind-controlling alien queen and nobody ever comments on it.
3. 600 years? Why not just kill her, if you're going to imprison her for that long, and she is apparently irredeemable? That is, I have to say, inhuman.
4. I would have preferred Sif not to have the jealousy-backstory, frankly. And I would have preferred the show not go to the Ward/Skye place.
5. And once again the characters don't seem to be worried about the fact that they killed those two guards who were just doing their jobs. Not even Skye, who you would have thought would be at least a little freaked out.
6. I did find the May reveal a little intriguing, but then I should have expected it, given how much she was badgering Coulson to talk about whatever he saw. It was unlike her to be so persistent.

I saw it as a "even though you've got a personal stake in a matter, duty comes first" thing--Sif not letting the jealousy apply, Coulson not letting his own questions overrule the job. Never saw that SG1 episode, so that issue doesn't apply for me.

They did say "people died for this," but I'm not too worried that they're not angsting about the guards. The guards were given the opportunity to put down the guns. Yeah, a less violent method would have been to use the sleepy time gun, but they were not in a kinder, gentler place. I don't hold my comic book shows to a higher moral level--except the very first Batman movie, where he blew up that factory full of people, because Batman doesn't kill.
