Thanks for starting the thread, Lindsay! Tuesdays can't come fast enough.

Thanks for the thread! I loved Ruth Negga in Misfits, looking forward to seeing her in this.

Mysteria · 10-19-2013, 03:36 PM

Looks good, can't wait to see what's going on with Skye.

I'm surprised to see him in this, IDK why.

The episode sounds interesting, problems with Skye isn't really surprising.

Me too. I'm like "oh hello, Austin, so random."

So weird.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 10-21-2013, 09:10 PM

I watched the sneak peek. Oops.

Karma Police · 10-22-2013, 01:06 PM

I quit OTH in the beginning of season 6, so I didn't see much of Julian but I also haven't seen the actor in anything else.

I was totally surprised when Austin popped up on screen.

He did kind of screw things up for Skye for a little while, but it all worked out in the end. She was making such good progress. She'll have to rebuild their trust, especially with Ward. He was a tough sell to begin with, and just when he was warming up. I think he even showed a little bit of jealously in this episode.

I kind of figured Skye's secret would have to do with her parents, and Shield. I'm looking forward to their identities being revealed.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 10-22-2013, 10:43 PM

I was surprised we dealt with Skye's disloyalty this early on. I was kind of expecting they'll drag this out for long. I guess it has to do with the fact that now we know SHIELD has something to do with her parents disappearance. What exactly does that cool bracelet do? And I think this will be rough time for Skye on-board the bus. She'll be monitored (via the bracelet) and she can't go rogue.

Very interesting that we got Project Centipede too. And that tease in the end with that guy from prison, I wonder who he is and what he has to do with this organization and that clairvoyant they were talking about?

My favorite scene was the one between Phil/Skye in his office. I haven't seen Coulson that furious. And I love Melinda May in this ep. I enjoyed Austin's character as well as Ruth's too. I wonder if we'll see Raina again?

Also a sidenote, finally a place I've been to.

That first part of the ep in Hongkong, I've been to that place. It's very crowded but well lit. There are lots of street performances at night.

Another solid episode! Ruth Negga was amazing, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her character. And this Centipede deal.

I really appreciated that Skye's secret wasn't drawn out, and figured it had something to do with her parents. The fact that SHIELD are involved, though, that was a nice surprise.

Loved the Coulson/Skye stuff.
