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.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That speech broke my heart, while also making me want give Clark Motherfucking Gregg a standing ovation.

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.
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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....

She allegedly has some sort of interesting attributes. I suppose Garrett will want to grab her for experimentation in the future.

I just don't trust the show to not rehabilitate Ward, or at least do so in an interesting way.
There was a line where somebody asked him something to the effect of doesn't he feel like he owes Coulson - and he said yes, but that he owed Garrett more. I thought that was interesting - that his loyalty may be split, just Garrett has tha larger portion - and that might be what turns him around. (And not Skye's Magic Doe-Eyes, please and thank you).
