When Skye tells Jiaying that she started to empathize with Cal, it actually rang true to the point that it was annoying to see her call Shield, although in hindsight that made sense too.
Well, since she doesn't really know what's been going on with Shield, I think she did it to protect Cal. She trusts May and Coulson to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone, in a humane fashion. So her calling them really worked for me.
I don't like the cheap tv trick of characters catching glimpses of Coulson with Ward with no explanation.
Agreed - it's SO cheap, that Tom called it as soon as the suggestion to do so left May's mouth. I'm glad Coulson decided to get in the mix so we can stop with all these Three's Company misunderstandings.
I am also glad that Bakshi is back in the game, because he's awesomely evil. I reallllllly hope Mike doesn't get too fucked up with this kidnapping, because goddamn, he has been through enough.
Also, I see some rehab writing on the wall for Ward and I am not liking the look of it.
You can tell from the dialog that Joss took a pass at the script. (Also, a leaf in the wind)
Seriously. I'm barely paying attention, but it feels so Jossy!
Also like a promo for Age of Ultron?
Yes, it was very Jossian. Those last few minutes were fabulous. I'm glad I already have my tickets for Saturday.
I'll have to remember not to watch next week, since I won't see AoU for another week.
"He has them vote on decisions!" And Maria's jaw drop of disbelief.
And of course, "Oh! Spoiler alert!"
Phil is such a wonderful troll. And looks great in Adidas-brand tactical gear.
I think I believe that Ward wants to help Kara. I don't believe anything else. "I'm still glad I shot you."
“I thought her gift was spinning really fast to collect gold rings.”
I didn't quite get that. I went to a merry-go-round place, but was it a jab at the spikes?
It finally occurred to me why it felt so wierd that other!SHIELD doesn't like secrets.
YOU'RE A SPY AGENCY. OF COURSE THERE ARE SECRETS. eyes rolling forever.
I think it was Phil keeping secrets from May after everything they've been through, not SHIELD has secrets. Though that "You're not the director" thing hurt--unless she knows Fury's still around? Except Fury passed on the mantle.
Edit: Oh, but the glorious Neener-neener of "Until Fury comes back and asks for it." Oh, is there something big that I knew that you didn't? Really?
