That's what the speculation seems to be. I think she may have killed Skye's parents.

Hawthorn

That's a much better/compelling scenario.

BTW this shows really needs to tone down the sap, especially in the motivational speeches.

miranstarr

Ooooooh, Coulson.

Hawthorn

I'm (FINALLY) all caught up!

That last episode.
Such pain. Much hurt. Wow.

First things first: either what we saw about Coulson's true experiences after he died are just the top of the iceberg, or I completely missed the big reveal... Ahem.
I think we all imagined that he hadn't been dead for just a bunch of seconds, but besides that, what did they tell us? That Fury moved heaven and earth and had scientists adopt some very unethical procedures to bring him back to life?
I mean, it's terrible to think of the nightmare Coulson went through after so much time and so many operations, but the whole thing it's hardly earth-shattering news for the audience.
So, more must be coming.
Or I need you guys to break it out more clearly for me.

And Mike! I expected him to be still alive, but not to be so damaged. Will they pull a Bucky with his leg..?

Anyway. Episodes 10 and 11 were nice. Not Emmy writing but I'll take what I can get.
They need to stick to mythology/arc episodes to keep things entertaining.
Those were also the first two episodes were I enjoyed Skye. Thanks the lord she left behind a good part of her "whatever *insert pop culture reference*" & co. random comments.

I wonder if Raina is truly gone.
And I know Ward and Melinda are as doomed/irrelevant for the writers as my resume is to Kevin Feige, but I kinda sorta like the idea of them and those handful of moments they got.

The brain part totally squicked me out.

Hawthorn

Very Robocop.

But seriously. What is he now? A zombie?

miranstarr

I don't know!

It scored a 2.2 (6.63m) in the ratings last night. That's a slight improvement.

Hawthorn

Hopefully the numbers will stabilize. Are they up against any other popular show in their timeslot, besides NCIS?

miranstarr

These are the shows they are up against and their ratings.

CBS NCIS (8-9:01PM) 3.0/8 20.84
ABC Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (8-9:01PM) 2.2/6 6.63
NBC The Biggest Loser (8-10PM) 1.7/5 5.46
FOX Dads 1.5/4 3.64
CW The Originals - R 0.3/1 0.91

Hawthorn

Thanks! His only real contestant is NCIS, then. I always found that series boring and repetitive, but it's a force to be reckoned with.

miranstarr

I never really liked it either. Just couldn't get into it.

Hawthorn

I have no luck with a lot of procedurals, and it's not that I hate the genre or anything because I've watched my fair share of Criminal Minds reruns and grew up wanting Murder, She Wrote's Jessica to me my grandma.
But Castle, The Mentalist, The Good Wife, The Closer, NCIS... they all have huge followings and I couldn't get into any of them.

miranstarr

Heeeeeey. I don't watch any of those shows either. Except for Criminal Minds.

Hawthorn

Star-crossed fandom sisters.
