I was fine with that, they have a shared interest in getting someone back. Besides she might have been lying to save the world. Malick explaining his evil plan and discouraging her from helping (he can double check what she says). What? Like I was just supposed to be impressed with you for manipulating Ward.

1. I think they only know what they overhear at Liv's house since the new roomie moved in and bugged the place. 2. They don't want to admit culpability. Going public or forcibly curing folks would mean more exposure. 3. That wouldn't be sufficiently EEEEEVILE

Why not? For the last two seasons we have seen Hydra capture people with powers to create weapons out of them. Why wouldn't he keep doing this? Why would this be less a threat with more to harvest? Also, we've seen Ward successfully fool, kill, kidnap, and torture our protagonists either on his own or with bad guy allies. Lash looked weird, punched a hole in the wall and got away. Yeah he hurt some folks off camera too. But he hasn't proven himself as effective as Ward yet at terrorizing the team. I'm not saying Ward's the smartest most capable bad guy out there, but he does OK.

Is he really that incomprehensible? It seems like he is empire building to me. The only job he knows how to do is being an agent. It's not that uncommon a real world problem for the folks who grew up fighting a war to travel to new places and find new wars to fight. That's what they know how to do. He's arrogant enough to think he should be in charge, and his world view is the only way to be safe is to be tougher than everyone. Last season he was more a mercenary. This season he's grabbing power, and I assume cash, from the Hydra leadership vacuum by representing himself as rebuilding Hydra. Yes, he wants to take revenge for his grievances too. That's where the fun comes in.

Well, Ward has a pretty high opinion of himself. If it worked on him, it's probably a great plan! It seems basically sound though. Get someone who is convinced that they are entitled to greatness and tell them if they just work hard enough, ruthlessly enough it's their right. Pretty familiar message really. Until she has just the right one liner. May's pretty funny at times. PTSD is angsty and all, but I really want flashbacks and her being a big key to the mystery and changed, not just injured. She's been throwing herself into dangerous situations seemingly over her head since the pilot. So I'm not sure this was exactly odd. They've just given up trying to stop her. I think I would just have Walking Dead flashbacks where I yell at the screen at the screen for her to cut some pikes for gods sake. Find a library, learn to pickle, get a dog. So, it's best I was saved that. I just want to know who the bad guys on the planet are and how they will affect this season's arc.

Yeah, I'm not really jazzed for the Bro personality either. We already have done similar characters.

I know Clive is supposed to not know what is going on, but he's seen her be not herself before. He always gives the personalities little looks. Approves of some, rolls his eyes at others and makes the best of it. I figure he doesn't know what's up, but I wouldn't be surprised if he assumes the personality changes are related to the visions. This personality wasn't funny or fun to me at all. The procedural part was boring. It wasn't a good choice for the premier. You have to lay down all these plot threads which isn't that exciting until they start paying off. They needed a more fun single episode thing. Am I the only one who doesn't buy that Major is actually killing people? It's pretty much got to be a fake out. I will be super disappointed if it is not.

Well, it's sort of the combo of Daisy, kind of frilly, with Johnson, pretty staid, and the Quake powers that makes it an incongruous and so sort of an interesting name. It caps off the search for her identity certainly, but I agree it's not the coolest name. It's no C K Dexter Haven.

It didn't really rely on it, that just helped. Besides how cool was it to see Coulson take the standard Sheild break the thumb to get out of the cuffs moves and make it about beating the bad guy with the wrong end of his new fist? It took me a while to figure out that when he tells Fitz he's on his third hand it's because he just messed up his most recent one earlier in the episode. Joey has had his powers like a day. It seems pretty early to dismiss them. Obviously he can disarm people at close range. With some thought he can take down significant structures. All Shadow Cat from XMen could do was walk through walls. Oh wait... You know I might have appreciated one too. I felt like there were lots of really exposition heavy scenes, and some felt kind of clunky. I was like Coulson, why are you telling Daisy this, surely she must know how many Inhumans you all have tracked. I love both their hair. Daisy's because of the wind machine and sort of wild look and it's a new chapter thing. Coulson because it goes with his more casual clothes and innocuous company man persona. That and I just think it looks better with the angles of his face.

Flirting expressed via kidnappings and threatening rape. PotAYto PoTAto The Quake thing seems to be working out OK for her now, but imagine being hauled off against your will to be handed over to a fascist vivisectionist and a crazy man who wants to transform you into who knows what. Oh and it more or less makes you the enemy of all your friends. This seems a legitimate horrific beef. However I wouldn't put her further up the list because it's not heroic to kill the baddie and she's so powered now that it would be hard to justify not finding a way to contain him with a convenient rock slide or something. Were it to happen, someone with a bit more conventional abilities should do it, and do it to protect others.

Yeah, it's pretty faithful to a lot of the comic elements but looks less silly to me.

Good thing she's fictional. I doubt she will be offended when people forget.

I think it may be a tease or a joke of a working title until they make a final selection, since Ragtag was a pretty pivotal episode in Season 1 where we found out Ward was Hydra.

And he has medical skills and knows Inhuman biology so he can be the xenobiology exposition stand in while Simmons rocks out for a while. He hasn't proven too interesting just yet, I'd agree with that, but bland can work fine for advancing the story a while.

I promise not to tell Mable, or his lip.
