AoS has turned into a really great show, and those early episodes - while problematic, predictable, (and frankly) boring - set everything up really well. I've struggled to tolerate the bland Ward and boring Skye, and now (as stated above), I'm totally invested in those characters and their relationship.<br /><br />And the effortless humor and charm of Clark Gregg is the glue that holds it all together.<br /><br />I wouldn't have stuck with this if not for the Agents of D.O.U.X. So thanks, y'all.Scott Rigganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711526444461565186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-32054445051554920222014-05-06T10:27:19.912-04:002014-05-06T10:27:19.912-04:00I haven't watched the last season of HIMYM yet...I haven't watched the last season of HIMYM yet.

WTF, indeed. :)<br /><br />I'm more concerned about Coulson re: the serum, than Skye. She's an 0-8-4, so they have a handy "get out of jail free" card in their back pockets for her. But Coulson is all-too-human (except for the alien-serum parts), and now that he knows what's been done to him, is he going to start deteriorating like the test subjects? Ack! At least May is back to keep an eye on him.<br /><br />I like the way Ward started seeming kind of pyscho and desperate this hour. The last couple episodes he's just seemed hardass and maybe a bit conflicted, but this week he began to seem genuinely unstable.

And fun review! :o)
I've a...Brilliant episode! And fun review! :o)<br /><br />I've always liked the series, but I think part of it was "wishful thinking", as in hoping the Whedon-team behind it would eventually fulfill its promise and make it become something more. Ever since the Hydra reveal, that promise has been fulfilled a little more each day. Yay! And now I'm really hoping we get a season 2, 'cause there aren't enough episodes left in this season to do the characters (and situation) justice! More please!!!<br /><br />And yeah, Ward and Skye have become the most interesting characters there! Weird!!! :p<br /><br />Als: Skye is supposed to be some kind of alien-thing herself, right? An 0-1-4? (I don't remember the code). Maybe that's why the serum hasn't affected her. Or it could be due to the fact that she wasn't as bad off as Coulson when he received. After all, he was dead.CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-87964709221508991092014-05-02T21:31:59.670-04:002014-05-02T21:31:59.670-04:00I am just loving this show and can't wait for ...I am just loving this show and can't wait for your reviews Mark. I don't think that Ward and Skye's relationship is the only thing that has been ramped up - the whole show is just better. May, grave robbing, Coulson and Hill kicking the army's ass, Skye calling out Ward, Coulson saving Skye and the quips just keep on coming. Can't wait for next week!drnanamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667806039402426676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-41670628930973048552014-05-02T19:30:34.118-04:002014-05-02T19:30:34.118-04:00I'm glad you mentioned that last line, because...I'm glad you mentioned that last line, because after the not coming out bit, it was my favorite part of the episode.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484882536574497234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-87768925844083382762014-05-02T18:56:06.147-04:002014-05-02T18:56:06.147-04:00Your reviews always make me laugh out loud at leas...Your reviews always make me laugh out loud at least once.<br /><br />I agree that SkyeWard is now the most interesting relationship on the show. It definitely has the Buffy/Angel/Angelus thing going for it. I love that Skye didn't kill Ward when she had the chance. Was it just not wanting to be a murderer or is there hope for these two crazy kids (one of which is an actual, legitimate murderer).<br /><br />"She's a lot more likable now that they've stopped trying so hard to make her likable."<br /><br />Damn straight.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.com
