I absolutely LOVED that Simmons wasn't really there. That was freaking brilliant!
I still don't really care one way or the other about Ward. I mean, I feel sorry for his icky past, but let's face it: he chose to do everything he did. All of it. The thing that worries me is that he's replacing Garret with Skye as the person to tell him what to do, and fooling himself that it's love. What he seriously needs is a big damned spanking (or rather, another one, as Melinda gave him one at the end of last season already. Apparently, it was inadequate!).
You remember how I thought Simmons could have been Hydra? Ha, I was totally right! I mean, in general and stuff. And now she's moving up in the ranks!
I don't care about Skye's past, Skye's future, Skye's first kill, or Skye's annoying whininess when she doesn't get all of Phil's attention all of the time. I still want to slap her hard. So. Hard.
I think Coulson knows that something is seriously wrong with him, and that's not letting him ever chill out. I mean, in addition to being half man-made now, he's also got the Kree (or Skrull?) DNA thing going on. That makes him related to the villain in Guardians, genetically speaking. I think May hangs out with him during his episodes to put a bullet in his brain-pan, squish!, if needed.
My guess is that Joss/Jed/Maurissa created 33 and made the wasn't important before but we're making her that way now hints fall into line. Either that, or they're just calling her Agent 33 for now and she's really someone else and we'll find out who she is later on. (Did you know that Coulson is one of the few characters created in movie-verse who made it into comic-verse? It's true!)
Hunter doesn't bother me as much as he does some others, but I don't like that he's pushing Tripp into the background a bit. On the other hand, OMG MAC IS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. I didn't think they could POSSIBLY find a hotter guy than Tripp but they totally did! Also, I completely agree that the relationship between Mac and Fitz is stuffed with and covered in awesomesauce. (There's a LOT of man candy on this show now - it reminds me a little bit of the movie Equilibrium for the sheer amount of male pretty that's on the screen!) I also liked that they cut away from the scene with Fitz and Ward BEFORE we knew if Fitz had turned the air back on....
I've read somewhere that Joss said the AoS team gets to know all the details for the MCU Avengers-related stuff before it comes out - it's how they were able to so seamlessly integrate both Thor TDW and CA2 into the show. I expect that with Joss' resounding success in writing and directing Avengers, and his being on board for A2: Ultron, that trend will continue. I tell you what, it gets me to go see the movies their opening weekends, that's for damned sure! Quite the marketing ploy....
I just hope they don't cancel AoS after two seasons. I'd be very very sad if that happened!
