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.

I didn't pick that up, but the timing lines up. And he did add black widow and hawkeye who aren't really powered (or fitted up with supertech) either.

I kept waiting for the actress to say, "Skye, I am your mother"

I kept waiting to care what was happening with Skye.

I think that I will wait a loooooooong time for that.

I'm finding Skye a bit more interesting now than I expected to in the beginning. I think her shooting Wade sort of moved her into the "characters I care about" column.

"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

It still miffs me that the show revolves around Skye to such a degree, but at least with the Inhumans storyline there's a plausible reason for it (as opposed to Skye being a special snowflake because she's an ace hacker who can... look someone up on facebook).

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I have to wonder what Skye's mother is up to. I found her...performance towards Skye very forced. It was overly saccharine. Seriously, I think Dichan Lachman is a very good actress, but it was like she was missing her beat in every conversation. I can only conclude the storyline is being written that way to play into Skye's fantasies of what she wants her parents to be.

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.

I have a feeling that Raina's "clairvoyance" is going to reveal Skye's mother to the others.

Same.
