So mostly filler, but interesting bits. I don't trust Skye's mom. And yay, Fitz!
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't trust Skye's mom.
The fact that both "Mom" and Dad told the same story of her birth in almost the same words is suspicious as all get-out to me.

It'll be interesting if Cal turns out to be more reliable.

I don't trust Skye's mom.
I like Skye's mom because of the actress, but it was definitely suspicious that she didn't tell Skye she was her mom.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I didn't mistrust her before but now I do. Great.
I like how the secret agency is having a conniption over the fact that Coulson is—gasp—keeping secrets. GUYS IT IS YOUR JOB.

I got the impression that Phil was thinking of May for the Avengers. Too bad I called the girl as the crux of the problem before May even went into the building. I was annoyed that they were going for the "child in peril" thing as a crisis for a woman, but she barely hesitated once she knew there was only one way to finish the situation. At least they never had her come right out and say that killing a child combined with her wanting to start a family is what wrecked her.

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 girl being the problem caught me by surprise and then I felt foolish considering I had spent the whole episode thinking "super strength and mind control are a really weird power combination."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I was right there with you - I didn't realize someone else was responsible for the mind control until Eva repeated it during her confrontation with May.

Do you mean Eva?
I saw the girl twist coming from about the time May spotted the first Shield agent acting weird, though at first I thought Eva was also under mind control and it was just the girl who was causing the real problem, but the mother/daughter thing made more sense.
Maybe its because I've been mainlining Daredevil this week, but the pacing on AoS seemed very slow. And I'm getting rather tired of Skye's extremely extended tutorial on controlling her earthquakey powers. Focus, Vibrate, Look Surprised. Rinse and repeat.

Do you mean Eva?
No, May. That conversation about powered people and Phil looking at May significantly and her insisting that she wants to stay in the field.
I think we're in filler territory what with the run-up to Ultron and having 18 shows of plot for 20+ episodes to fill.
