Also, the liason at the Academy had a part in a Dr. Who episode. Cool!

Ha! Glad to see I wasn't the only one thinking it.

Wasn't the Bronze mostly just an open sound stage with a stage, some chairs and some arbitrary stairs tossed around? I have always had such a hard time mapping that place in my head.

Lounge area, wraparound balcony, bar, and snack-bar. No, I don't have a girlfriend... :/

I look forward to seeing what her superpower is, though.

That looks kinda fun. Also, someone working with the "Clairvoyant" voluntarily? Hrrrrm.
roddikinathome | January 14, 18:19 CET
Also, a 3 week hiatus again? Seriously?

Actually thought that was a pretty kick ass fight scene with Agent May and the off the radar SHIELD agent. Thought the Skye reveal was well handled and I thought the piece at the end where Coulson describes how she handled the news was impressive.
It feels the writers are starting to tip the dominos they set up for so long, with more to come (provided it ever gets a chance to run more than a week or two at a time - sheeesh)

And Supernatural had there best ep in a long time.
A good tv night.

Two week break, and unless they are going to air episodes during the Olympics (doubtful), another two weeks after that... baaad scheduling...

Part of me still wants to see people running and flying around in bright costumes, but I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that's never gonna happen.
AndrewCrossett | January 14, 20:17 CET
But the original "Star Wars" movie had a very similar mistake in it, when Han Solo described the Millenium Falcon as the ship that "made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs," in that a parsec is a unit of distance, not of time. So could this actually have been a certain kind of (i.e. ridiculously nerdish) shout-out?

I liked the episode very much. And mostly because I finally like Ward. And the stuff with Sky and Coulson was great. And the sucker punches at the end.
I don't know much about the comics because I grew up somewhere that didn't have a comic book store anywhere accessible. I've been trying to fill that void or a while now but started with the obvious and shifted to the really expansive world of X-Men and haven't gotten to anything Avengers so I don't understand most of the meta or have a clue where they can be going with various characters, so I wonder if that helps me enjoy the ride more because I'm not anticipating things?
NYPinTA | January 14, 20:49 CET
It was well written. The slow development that's been permeating the whole season should only be a one time thing. The second time around, please move a bit faster? And I'd love to get episodes only focused on the main characters. Another Joss Whedon written episode too.

Skye's revel was also a let-down. Set up this mystery as one the biggest continuing plot threads running through your show and then resolve it by having some random guy just sit there and explain it all? Eugh. Why was that rogue agent suddenly ready to talk? He had been on the run from S.H.I.E.L.D. for over 20 years. Why would he suddenly trust anyone from the organization? He was ready to kill himself but then 5 minutes later he tells them everything he knows!? :headdesk:
I think this episode has bothered me more because of how much I enjoyed the beginning.

Ending was predictable but I enjoyed the episode.
Hated that runaway agent suddenly all cooperative. WTH? You were ready to kill yourself to keep your secret then Coulson introduces him to Lola and he's all chatty? I'd get it if it was because he recognized Coulson and knew he could trust him but there was no hint in that whatsoever.
I can understand Coulson telling Skye - he draws parallel between them and wants her to know the truth, unimaginative as it might be (as it was guessed a while back). I'm hopeful Fury didn't give Phil everything but just enough to stop him from looking for more. But knowing Phil, he won't stop til he uncovers everything. Can't wait!

He played a serial killer on The Shield. That was in 2004 and the episodes were "What Power is..." and "Strays". He was pretty chilling.
Jason_M_Bryant | January 15, 03:07 CET
This was just one clue on the path to the resolution. We're still pretty far from it.
Jason_M_Bryant | January 15, 03:12 CET
And beside's the identity of her parents, the other two are completely new mysteries. Was there ever any hint that Skye has any powers or is in any way "special" in previous episodes? I can't remember any.
Even if it wasn't the proper resolution, I hope they remember the age old rule of "show, don't tell" when it actually comes time to reveal it.

Chloe Bennet is clearly not full-blooded Chinese, so I'm guessing one of Skye's parents is white also. I doubt she's the child of two villagers from Hunan.
AndrewCrossett | January 15, 06:21 CET
Bunnies, if you were told that your birth was celebrated with the death of an entire village and you didn't get at least a little misty, you'd be a cold, cold person.

I loved when Ward said "I can get there" and then he opens the door and sees the super storm and goes "No. I can't get there." That moment is begging to be made into a gif with the caption "NOPE".

Just, so well done. Way to go, Jed and Monica.

It does appear that we'll be going dark soon, and I'm all about that. Well done all around.

People just needed REALISTIC expectations for this show. Those of us who did are being rewarded
I really felt for Sky in this episode. This one made me more emotionally invested in her than any other episode. I love the scenes between May and Coulson. There's a very healthy relationship building between those two. I think the Mae/Ward thing is just a fling...not that there's anything wrong with that, but Mae/Coulson is where it's really at.
Fitz was strong this episode. I like him so much better when he's not being goofy. I'm not a huge fan of goofy, Willow type characters and Fitz is strongest when he's being portrayed seriously. He could become this show's Wesley
