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).
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

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.

I thought she did well in Dollhouse, but that's the only thing I've seen her in. Well, there was something else, but it was more of a blink and you'll miss it role.

Oscar-Winnng Writer to 'Re-Invent' MARVEL Superhero For Secret New ABC Series:
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that John Ridley, writer/producer of the award-winning film 12 Years A Slave, is working with Marvel Studios on a new television series for ABC. This would be the third Marvel series for ABC after Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter - fourth, if you factor in the reported Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff in development.
EW's sources tell them that Ridley's Marvel project "involves reinventing an existing Marvel superhero character or property" but don't narrow down the field.
Ridley is no stranger to comics, having written several titles for DC's now-defunct Wildstorm imprint including The American Way and a one-shot of The Authority.
I didn't know he'd written comics!

I thought Dichen Lachman did a lot better in Dolhouse portraying different characters than Eliza Dushku
