Coulson had a realistic emotional reaction to the shit going down.
Marvel.com had a perfect description of his Big Speech: "making a rallying speech sound absolutely heart breaking." If you look at the text, you could easily deliver that as a big rah-rah THIS WILL BE OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY speech, but instead it was Coulson unspooling.
And I'm very pleased that Ward isn't brainwashed.
I kept looking for any signs that they were seeding a plot twist that he's brainwashed or a triple agent, and any doubt I might have possibly had went away when he shot those two fucking guys in the elevator like it was nothing. I'm glad there's no extra layer to that, although "redeemed by Skye" is still a possibility.
She doesn't know he's the main character of a TV show put out by Disney.
You seem very attached to this idea that the Disney name means puppies and flowers when I just described a character shooting two completely innocent people point blank in the head. Yes, Disney owns Marvel. Disney also owns Touchstone.
Coulson had a realistic emotional reaction to the shit going down.
Yes, I also thought his and May's reactions were perfect. I've never felt sorry for Coulson before.
Well, it's not Game of Thrones, and security guards during an invasion are different from a character who's been the driving character of the series and in several movies.
edit: not the driving character in the movies, but certainly pivotal.
That speech broke my heart, while also making me want give Clark Motherfucking Gregg a standing ovation.
Yeah, that speech perfectly encapsulated what's going on with Coulson and Gregg nailed it.
May's reaction was perfect as well.
I hope Fitz gets more to do than be jealous of Trip.
While some character-building was necessary to get here, I wish it didn't drag on so much beforehand. The show might have been better-served by starting as a mid-season program and had a condensed build-up to the HYDRA reveal.

Yeah, the logic in forcing the show to just tread water for 15 episodes seems kind of shaky to me.
Well, we got a sense of SHIELD workings and had Ward settle well into clueless dork mode. So the shock of the change was bigger. I've enjoyed it, anyway.

I think it being on network TV is why it's not Game of Thrones, not the whole Disney thing. Besides, they killed Bambi's mother, didn't they?
Dude, SPOILER FONT.
I kid, I kid.
(I didn't see Bambi until I was 20 or so, and I had no idea they killed Bambi's mother. I was possibly more traumatized than the little kids in the theater.)
Skye is kinda a Disney Heroine, at that. And HYDRA probably killed her parents....
