I'm wondering if he's actually a good guy pretending to be bad

Sacrificing Kid is a heck of an act. But an interesting thought. I can see him pulling Rosalyn into some evil-masked-as-simple-practicality thing. I'm hoping Rosalyn is a dupe, but I'm not sure.

I'm also wondering if Powers Boothe is even a bad guy. I'm wondering if he's actually a good guy pretending to be bad, and wants Rosalind to bring Phil to him in order to keep Phil safe/work with him to bring down Hydra.

Ooh. I really need there to be some added twist because I don't want Rosalind to be evil!!!

That was a hell of an episode. Did not think they'd out Lash immediately; they are getting really good at just pulling their damn triggers this season. And Fitz and Jemma watching the sunrise aaaahhhh.

I do not understand why Hunter exists and he is easily my least favorite character. Wait, except Lincoln. For fuck's sake, Lincoln.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I have no use for Hunter. None.

Wait, except Lincoln. For fuck's sake, Lincoln.

I tolerate Lincoln, except for last night. That was ridiculous.

I like Hunter, he serves as my Hawkeye stand-in. "Enough of this faffing about, let's just shoot him."

I've missed a lot of this season due to the huge logjam of shows I want to watch Tuesdays at 8, but Hunter grew on me and I fall firmly on the "like" side now.

I do find him amusing at times but Bobbi could do way better.

Bobbie could do way better.

She apparently agrees, since she divorced his butt.

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 find Hunter amusing enough I don't mind him around. Lincoln and his whiny, scruffy, mission-botching ass can just go away, though. I generally dig the characters that can throw lightning in various media, but Lincoln sucks.

Bobbi said something to May about Kid Strucker being in a coma during their talk on the jet at the beginning of the episode.

I appreciate everyone on this show behaving like adults. Fitz and Simmons talking (and not) as appropriate. Bobbi telling Hunter to stop being an idiot. Etc.

I doubt Powers Booth's character is secretly a good guy. It's been pointed out he was the one who first suggested nuking New York in The Avengers.

I'm wondering if he's even supposed to be the same character, though, or just a repurposed actor. I read one article that implied he's a different character totally.

I like Hunter fine, but I still would have preferred that he die over Tripp.
