I have to say, I was wondering when Coulson and May were talking if maybe she was the girl in Seattle he mentioned in “The Avengers”; the one Tony says he’ll fly Phil out to see. I haven’t seen the pilot but did they say where May was at the time?
I think the call to Talbott was a heads’ up call about the mask; Coulson is trying to be nice by warning him so even if Talbott wants to be a bully at times Coulson isn’t going to do that, because you have to wonder if the situation was reversed would Talbott call Coulson to warn him?
I have to say I liked the Fitz and Hunter control room scene; I wouldn’t mind them being paired up for scenes a bit more.
I don’t think Mac would know who Fitz meant over Trip, Trip knew Simmons before Mac and Hunter so if Mac knows Trip definitely should know I think. Again Hunter with the stories of his ex, I hope we at least see a picture of this woman at the very least; he mentions her at least once an episode so it’d be nice to put a face or a name to the comments.
I think Simmons knows how Fitz feels about her because of his actions in the pod, but she just doesn’t feel the same way for him; she loves him but as a brother. I think she’ll be sensitive of his feelings to a point, but I don’t think she’ll put her life on hold just because of it…she might take a pause at first to work on the Fitzsimmons friendship to let Fitz know she still cares at least that way but eventually she’s going to find romance herself.
Oh Skye is definitely snooping. I think she’s been working on her project since Coulson told her not to tell anyone about their uses of GH back in season one; so ever since then she’s been looking into things regardless of him saying not to do it now at times. She’ll definitely discover something, the question is what will she do with the info.
I agree at least Skye and Leo will give Jemma the cold shoulder, but I don’t know about the whole sleeper thing. I know it’s dramatic and all, but it’d also feel a bit soon too in regards to they just did the “enemy insider” plot with Ward and they have a brainwashed Agent 33. Maybe if they didn’t use 33 so soon in the field I’d be more up for the point with Simmons, but as it is I’m worried if it’s a case of repeat too soon even if the situations are different to a degree. However again if they do the brainwash plot point with her then I’d like to see Skye helping to bring her to who she is much like if Skye turns on the series I want to see Jemma bringing her back to her true self. But that could be just me.
