Hi I need a thread to talk about this show instead of bogging down the fandom thread. I’m currently mid-s1ep17 (got interrupted) but I spoilered myself on accident but I’m not sure when it comes out.

So this episode is where hydra blows their spot in shield and everything is coming out. May reporting to fury about coulson, agent hand may or may not be hydra (I think she is) and is trying to convince Simmons and Triplett she’s legit, agent Garrett may or may not the clairvoyant (I feel like bill paxton always gets saddled with a character whose intentions are called into question), and here’s where I spoilered myself: Ward is supposedly hydra as per fics on ao3 but skye gave him the hard disk of all the plane’s data for safekeeping and they kissed in the closet. I wonder if he’s pretending to have feelings for skye in order to cover up why he shot the fake clairvoyant, or if he’s a hydra agent who really did fall for her. Idk.

I just really don’t want May to be a dirty agent. I love her. And when they get Simmons back I want one of those movie style reunions where she and fitz are faced with their feelings for each other. Because they’re in love and they don’t know it!!

OHKAY I finished that episode. Ward is hydra, although that’s really not how I thought it would go. The team doesn’t know and it looks like Garett didn’t know either? But agent hand was actually shield, I definitely thought she was playing simmons.

I love this show! I think seasons 2-3 are the best. You’ve got some good stuff coming up.

Ward is complicated - I think he really does love "Skye", but he also has other stuff going on.
I agree that the early seasons are awesome, then it gets... meh... but I'm really enjoying the current season which feels like "Marvel's Agents of S.h.i.e.l.d tries to be Legends of Tomorrow" (and I adore Legends)

I was devastated when Ward was a legit bad guy even though excellent plot twist lol. I like him and Jemma together.

First of all I would like to hork at the sliver ward shoved up his fingernail to pass the lie detector. Hoooooork.
Second, it is exactly like fury to have a secret base in the frozen tundra. And Patton oswalt is A+ in the “looks like a cinnamon roll, but stings like a bee” role. I approve of this casting choice.

I finished season 1 last night, I am 😱😱 at coulson scratching what looks like a computer chip into the door like Garett was doing. The scratching instead of writing was interesting to me. But also #savecoulson at all costs. Also 🥺 when fury told him project T.A.H.I.T.I. (how did my phone know to autocorrect that....) was for fallen avengers because he considers coulson an avenger (aside from the major ethical violations that project entails and coulson was right to recommend discontinuing).
I AM SO HAPPY MAY GOT TO BEAT ON WARD. But also I’m conflicted about ward now, seeing his beginnings and the way Garett has used him for selfish gain, and how ward was basically begging for orders because he’s actually lost without being told what to do.
I’m also thinking maybe skye is an alien, or the daughter of mad scientists that turned themselves into something like banner/hulk.

Started season2. I’m so happy they had Peggy carter on!! My biggest takeaway is fitz hallucinating Simmons because she left? Deserted? I don’t believe it, I think coulson sent her on a mission somewhere. He’s getting pretty secretive. But it’s interesting that may is taking pictures of coulson scratching on the wall and that he let her in for that. Skye was even less obnoxious for the first few episodes but I’m dying to know what her connection with the obelisk and Raina are. I think she’s an alien and it’s a family scenario. But they’re up to no good, Kyle macLachlan is always the bad guy. Haha.

I’m minutes into episode 3 and I just want to say I KNEW IT I HECKIN KNEW IT Gemma is on a top secret mission!! I knew she’d never desert the team. Although I have to say I was not expecting her to be a hydra spy.

I feel awful for Donnie Gill. I hope that ice was a life preservation tactic and not because he waS dead.
Super wide eyes at hydra brainwashing techniques and “compliance.” Very winter soldier. Also why do they call ward the Asset? Super hydra esque.
I also have lots of heart eyes for the way Mack treats fitz, like he’s not broken.

Ok wow so Tyra from Friday night lights was another shield operative? I love it. So skye is an alien. Huh I’m kinda underwhelmed, I wonder if they’ll go with that’s why she was such a great hacker because she has like special alien tendencies or something. So if she is, and her father obviously would be, then ward knows? I can’t wait to see what FitzSimmons is going to be like now that Gemma is back.

It's fun to watch you go through this, since the current season goes back to a lot of earlier points in time.
For instance, the most recent episode involves a relative of Skye's you'll meet really soon.

So the carvings are actually a city that is connected to the obelisk, I wonder is skyes dad lived in that city at one point. As far as I can tell the obelisk decides who can go into the temple? Or if deemed unworthy it just kills the person. Sounds kind of Asgardian, they have an obsession with worthiness 😋 but I’m glad coulson isn’t losing his mind anymore.
Heart sufficiently broken at Simmons recognizing that fitz gets worse when she’s around.
I cackle and cringe whenever Bobbi and lance are on screen together lol. He’s so salty.
And ward has killed his family. I just.......he’s so broken. You want to prove yourself so you murder more people?? Whhhhy??

BUT WHY DID TRIP HAVE TO DIE??!! So from what. I understood, all that is Kree tech because they are super ...species-ist, and want like a special “gifted” group of people to rule earth? (Side note one of the female doctors looked a lot like Mar-Vell). I have so many conflicted feelings about skye’s dad. And ward.

Oh man I love Bobbi. She was supposed to get a spin off series and it didn’t work out, I’m still sad about it.
