Couldn't Fury just ask for the tool back though? Doesn't make sense, although you really have to wonder who other than Fury would know Coulson had it.

What if its Maria Hill who Mockingbird is working for? She's working for Stark and might not agree with Fury giving Directorship to Coulson. It could easily be part of Tony Stark's plan to be the new peacekeeping force and might have something to do with how Ultron knows so much about the Avengers.

I'm not convinced that the blind guy is actually Reader since we've only seen him teleport / bubble shield which itself looks like an extension of his teleport power.
I would be very surprised if it isn't, and the Raina character looks really close to Naja

The disagreements we're seeing within SHIELD regarding what to do about Raina and, by extension, the Inhumans makes me wonder if we're beginning to see the groundwork laid for Civil War. Cal's talk about "the index" and him wanting to use them to stir up trouble seems like a good catalyst for dividing people even more over the issue. I didn't anticipate Inhumans figuring into the MCU much until they have the Inhumans movie, but they seem like they'd be a fitting replacement for the "Superhero Registration Act" and secret identities.

Yea, when Simmons suddenly turned all 'we should kill them all to be safe', it felt like a very hamfisted way to show the logic behind the supporters of the registration act. They are definitely laying the groundwork for that, as it's also supposedly an argument between Stark and Rogers in Avengers 2 based on some trailer moments.

also, happy go lucky simmons pulled out a real gun, no night night bullshit gun and fired rounds directly into raina.

Eh, her happy go lucky nature has been eroding since Fitz saved her from the pressure chamber, if not sooner. And she never said 'we should kill them all to be safe'. She said 'If you have to kill her, that wouldnt be such a bad thing' about Raina. She did open up a bit more in her rant to Sky, but she never went as far as 'we should just kill them all'.

Does make you wonder how exactly things will shake out once they finally realize Sky got powers from the Terrigen Crystal though.

In Simmons' mind, it will just be a medical issue to fix. The danger will be if she ever thinks Skye being euthanized is for her own good (and the good of humanity).

She didn't say the actual words, no, but in her rant to Skye it was very clear she sees it as a potential epidemic that needs to be contained/wiped out. People with powers being a threat, not a gift, is the basis of the registration argument.

Skye ranks the lowest in the "i give a fuck" about category, next to fitz and simmons, they're almost as boring, mac and mockingbird are ok with May and Coulson leading the pack for me.

Also simmons sounded very William Stryker like from xmen (he's the one reverend that wants to exterminate the xmen/genocide created the purifiers)

I don't anticipate her going that far, just that she's more likely to fall in line with Tony Stark in seeing a necessity in having Inhumans registered and tracked. If for nothing else, she'll likely see value in studying the Inhumans, as you said, to likely to look for a cure. She could become theDr. Kavita Raoof the MCU (a character Joss Whedon created incidentally).

wow. everyone breaking rank, and yelling at each other, while super power person starts to loose control, using the same exact camera work, and pacing from Avengers scene was fucking retarded.

When you can't innovate, duplicate!

I didn't pick up on that though honestly. Key difference between the scenes is that someone was in charge on AoS. Coulson was so fantastic this episode. "We've cut off the head of Hydra and while they scramble to get another one I will crush them!" And then he completely follows through on that promise.

Completely? Did you miss the guy who got left alive? The one who was the heir apparent when they had their big meeting, but he had been captured and assumed dead. That's the only reason they had to compete to be the new leader.

Everything simmons was saying was about eradicating the potential infection. I think she will mellow out once she convinces herself it's not an infectious disease. That should be obvious once they find out these inhumans have been around, living amongst us in some cases, for hundreds of years.

The wording was REALLY odd.

It was hamfisted forced drama as you say.

Like, what she was trying to say was. "we have this unprecedented genetic mutation from this gas. We have no IDEA if its viral, or contagious. I just watched 12 monkeys, the Strain, Aliens, Helix, and a thousand other movies with potential outbreaks last week. and its got me worried. As far as we know right now, Rhianna has an Alien in her stomach right now. We need to treat this like a potential viral outbreak. Full quarantine procedures. We can not allow a potential outbreak or quarantine break at any cost. Any cost. We can not put the djinni back into the bottle if it gets out. do not let it out."

Well I didn't expect them to do the reveal on her powers the very next episode, but I guess there isn't a lot of time left in the season?

Also what the fuck are Mack and Mockingbird up to? I mean it's obviously not Hydra and I can't imagine them being connected to organization that controls the other Inhumans, but whatever they're up to is starting to look pretty damn sinister.

Crazy episode tonight

So they are going full force now right into the Inhumans catalog. We have a Kree on the show, and they talked about Blackbolts kingdom.

It's obvious that Skye can no longer stay with SHIELD. It seems she will return to her Dad, Hyde to sort out what she is.

Really want to know whats up with Bobby and Mack. What are they hiding

Last 3 episodes are

"One of Us"
"Love in the Time of Hydra"
"One Door Closes"

Well, they aren't Hydra. They do make it sound as though SHIELD is going to get fucked over by them, though.
