Good goddamn, this show.
It's like the writers said, "Wow, finally, Winter Soldier's out and we can tell the *real* stories now." Almost as good as a sudden reveal of a villain, complete with "Of course, now I'll have to kill you" sprinkles.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's exactly it. I saw Dollhouse. I knew Mo and Jed could tell complex, twisted, emotional, character-based stories. NOW THEY HAVE BEEN UNLEASHED.
I do not think Ward is in a place where Skye can redeem him with love--even if she wanted to, which I don't think she does anymore.
NOPE. Which is awesome. I loved her breakdown in the bathroom. Her entire world is collapsing, it's such a betrayal on so many levels. I hope Skye takes him down.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I loved her breakdown in the bathroom.
Me, too. I thought Chloe Bennet did a good job.

Yeah, quiet, terrified, knowing exactly what's going on, knowing she's alone with a cold-blooded, ruthless killer. I bet the actor who plays Ward is having more fun, too--though I bet the first time he read that script he went WTF? Unless they warned him?

They called him in one day to have a Talk. He thought he was being killed off. Instead they told him he was evil. He was excited.

"Oh, BTW? You're evil." "Yes!!"
edit: I was so pleased to see the guards at the Fridge saying "Nope, can't come in, protocol. Feel free to call Fury, protocol say you can't come in." Too bad the one guard didn't get to say to the one who opened the door: "See? See? This is why we have protocols!"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
May's equally badass mother! I am excite.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I ADORED May's mom. I also was impressed with Skye's breakdown--best performance from CB I think I've seen yet.

So much "Oh, Mom" in that scene. Family holidays must have had much sighing and eye-rolling and "In my day"-ing. I hope we see much more of her. But just having her wander through occasionally may be fun.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I LOVE May's mom. Love her. I hope we get to see more of her. If we don't, Imma be mad.
