Are they hinting that Skye is something more? I bet the contact at the end is Coulson too.
Dropped off at the orphanage as an infant? Didn't she once say that she remembered hearing her parents arguing? I guess the easiest explanation is that she was lying, but still...
What if she did remember, as an infant? :eek:
 
I had dvr'd the eps and finally watched them all.

I really enjoy the show, for many of the reasons posted. The first episodes are often rough, even in shows I really like. They don't have to be 100% there, but interest me enough to give it another chance. This is, for me.

Unlike Brooklyn Nine Nine. It's funny, but Andre Braugher is the best part and the rest is...not bad, but I realized I don't care if I miss it.
 
Again, nobody said it was impossible, just that it's never been proven to May's knowledge.
And yet it was still a very conspicuous disclaimer which had everyone here talking about it for a week. Now we see that there may have been a dramatic purpose to that very conspicuous disclaimer.

And when it was basically reiterated by FitzSimmons, it was obviously supposed to be a standard bit of SHIELD info, not just May's opinion.

I even have to wonder (pure speculation here) if maybe SHIELD isn't very much aware of such abilities at a higher level of clearance. The disclaimer could be part of their cover for their own psi operations. Maybe they do or did have a psi division, and our villain group's leadership is the current home of one or more refugees from that division.

Well, just because the bad guy is clairvoyant doesn't mean that the good guys know it...
Nor did I say they would or should. See above. I think that the line that they made such a point of drawing attention to last episode was there for a greater purpose in the show's story arc. It was a set-up.
The activity of the animal beings has become acutely active everywhere on this earth. Bodies do not get time to booty a blow for a while. With the accretion use of altered gadgets of Gps Jammer, the possibilities of accepting the aboriginal of blow accept absolutely finished. The adaptable phones or the corpuscle phones are some of these accessories that accumulate the bodies consistently in blow with the alfresco world. The adaptable building are additionally accessible about everywhere these canicule and due to this the accessibility of the Cell Phone Jammer has become alike added quick and authentic. Today, you cannot break out of ability of these adaptable building as their signals can bolt your about anywhere. The bearings of bodies who accord to altered business professions has become actual analytical of wifi jammer as their authorities bolt them anywhere any moment.
 
They certainly can't bolt my about anywhere.

She was probably adopted eventually.
 
Sure, it can be both, but how shallow and mercenary would it be to make a show that had no other purpose except to be an extended commercial for the movies? That's a ghastly notion.

Aren't you a fan of Power Rangers? Aren't those just toy commercials when you get down to it?

Okay, that's a point. But in terms of story, they're self-contained and have their own arcs. It's more of a symbiotic relationship between the shows that help sell the toys and the toys that help fund the shows.

I just think that a story should be complete and meaningful within itself. If a story doesn't work without reference some other story, then it's incomplete. Cross-reference to a different story should be a bonus. It shouldn't be "the point" of the entire project. Yes, Agents of SHIELD is meant to interrelate with the movies, but it's meant to be a worthwhile addition to the whole in its own right. It doesn't exist for the exclusive purpose of shilling the movies.
 
It's still early days yet and the show is still trading on it's links to the movies to keep the casual viewers interested. Hopefully by the end of the season it will have found it's own footing and built up it's own lore so as to not need to rely so much on the films.

Indeed I fully anticipate that if/when that happens, people will gripe that they don't reference the films enough anymore. ;)

This is only true if one is void of slack.

Unfortunately by the time it gets to that point, the ratings will have already sunk too low for it to matter. At least judging by how fast they're dropping right now with every episode...
 
They need to dump Skye although they seem to have some grand plan for her so I can't see that happening : (
 
Networks are too fast to dump shows that perform below their expectations. Not only that, but are they accurately counting viewers? Is AoS really doing less well every episode, or did it start high from the hype, and is now settling towards realistic viewership? Especially when most people will end up delaying their viewing until later, sometimes days later.

Besides, ABC is owned by Disney, who owns Marvel. Why would Disney let AoS get canceled, when it is a perfect vehicle for promoting their other products? If anyone can get this show to develop its own lore and have its own identity, I think it's Whedon. The suits just need to give it a chance.
 
I agree the Disney connection will probably keep it on the air longer than it otherwise might. But even with DVR numbers added in, the ratings are still dropping a lot more than they should (at least from everything I've read), and I'm not sure how long the network will be able to overlook that.

With how much the show costs, I don't think they can afford to keep it around with just a small, Fringe-level audience. And that seems to be the direction it's heading in.
 
SHIELD is admirable because it's against change?

I'm not convinced that Wheddon is showing SHIELD to be admirable. Well-intentioned, perhaps, but he seems to clearly be laying themes of SHIELD often being destructive and harmful (bad in the name of the greater good).
