I kept waiting for the actress to say, "Skye, I am your mother"
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I kept waiting to care what was happening with Skye.

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.

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).

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.

Yeah, I don't trust her at all, and I don't think KM's character did anything that she didn't tell him to do.

I've always thought Dichen Lachman has all the acting talent of a cigar store Indian, so she's actually been outperforming expectations for me in this role.
