Thinking Sky may be either half-kree, or Inhuman (which is sorta "part" Kree since they were created by the Kree). Maybe Raina is working for the High Evolutionary (He seemed to have a bit to do with the Inhumans if memory serves)? That'd be super out there though, but there is a cocoon in the collector's...er...collection that may or may not have an Adam Warlock in it so some seeds may have already been planted...
Good episode, can't wait for next season. And while I do enjoy me some Peggy Carter, I don't see that show lasting.

I thoroughly enjoyed the finale. Had very, very few complaints.
The tail end of this season was shockingly solid compared to the start. Here's to hoping they pull a Park and Recs with it.
I loved the Garrett scene.
"NONONONONONO"
*Stunned shock*
"YES!"
I'm liking the new cast more, too. I didn't like black Ward at first, but I'm liking what they've done with him. The scenes with him nerding out on the oldschool spy gear were really smart to include, he's way more interesting than Ward now.
And I'm officially interested in the Skye-Kree-Whatever plot line now, so kudos to them.

So, the Season 2 premier was pretty good. Absorbing Man was cool.

Finally got around to watching the 2 episodes, and I'm happy with them. I really like Raina as a character, so I hope they do more with her. Was very happy when she appeared. I was actually pretty bummed we didn't get more of Skye's story; it got interesting, and now I want to know where they're going with this.
May remains awesome.
Surprisingly, I'm actually happy with Ward's character now. The twisted repentant-but-not thing is interesting to me, and I want to know where they're going with it.
They also made a good choice with Fitz, I think. I just really hope they also bring Simmons back, since I liked her character. They also obviously have an open spot on the team for the biological side of things, unless they just don't intend to use that in the plot. But I find that hard to believe, given where they've gone with Skye and Coulson.
I don't give a flying **** about British Ward. And black Ward needs more screen time, because I still can't remember his name.
I don't know what I feel about the new engineer guy. I can't get a grasp his personality yet. But I'm inclined to like him.
I could stand to have less gov't vs. SHIELD stuff. I mean, I'm perfectly happy for that to be an overall context for the show's plot, but it's a little too much for the mission of the week scenario. They either need to go the route they did at the end of last season, and just get rid of the mission of the week structure, or they have to let it be a story developing in the background.

Reminder that the series premiere of Flash airs on the CW tonight an hour before Agents of SHIELD. I don't know how long I'll watch it as a series, but I'll give the first season a chance. For me, Flash is one of those characters that is way too powerful to be interesting.
Still a little peeved Xena died in her first episode.

I want to start watching this show now too. Since I'd like to take this opportunity to watch the entire Marvel project in one go, could you guys tell me if it's a good idea to follow the timeline in this link please?
I would just go ahead and watch everything as it is listed under "Media Chronology".
Also, what are these Marvel One-Shots and are they important to the story or skippable filler?
The Media Chronology's order looks pretty accurate. You can skip the One-Shots because they are basically filler, but A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer is pretty damn funny and Hail To The King is more for people that were upset over the big reveal of Iron Man 3. So far at least, could be more, might not be. They're pretty short though, so it's not going to really make or break your schedule.

Watch IM3 Start Agents of Shield - do NOT watch past "The Hub" as the next episode (Turn, Turn, Turn) begins immediately after Thor 2. Thor 2 Agents of Shield more - do NOT watch past "The End of the Beginning as the next episode (Shadows) begins DURING CA2. CA2 Resume Agents of SHIELD GOTG whenever you feel like it, after GOTG.
Really, I advise watching them in the order they were released. Hulk technically starts during the events of IM2 and runs to after Thor, but it's the most disconnected. Plus, more time to forget Norton as Banner, since Ruffalo takes over in Avengers.
Thor -> CA are also a great transition, because they start in the same location, 1000 years apart, and both set up for the Avengers. So even though Cap takes place primarily before everything else, it's really best right after Thor.

I would wait till later, but oh my god I'm laughing so hard at the Flash, in a good way. That was John Wesley Shipp as Barry's father in the first few minutes of the show. John was the original Barry Allen in the 1990s Flash TV series. Thumbs freakin' up on that.

Digging it so far, but wish that my cable company had the CW on HD... SD is so old...
Could live without the Flash-Arrow thing. I don't really care for that. An entire section commercial-commercial of them chit-chatting about nothing. Oh, wear a mask! Cool!
The Flash-Arrow meeting was a bit hamfisted and really took away from my enjoying the show overall. Also watching him run looked a little goofy, but at the same time running in general looks goofy so speeding it up wasn't about to help that. And John Wesley Shipp as a reoccurring character is such an awesome Easter egg.
Over at SHIELD, good to see Simmons is a double agent and not a traitor like the previews tried to show her to be. Fitz is being more interesting this season. The arms race angle is pretty nifty considering the fall out from Winter Soldier and last season's finale. Still like Coulson, but he's no Fury when it comes to being director. We'll see how that goes.

I don't think Coulson is supposed to be a director on Fury's level, and that's probably going to be a breaking point in the plot in the nearish future. Especially once we get deeper into this phase of the movies, with Age of Ultron. I mean, eventually they're gonna have to explore what's happening with the highest-tiered assets SHIELD has (COUGH COUGH HAWKEYE COUGH COUGH). And, y'know, the Avengers (who, theoretically, still have no clue Coulson is alive).
Also, give me some freaking Sharon Carter screen time. If she's just hanging out at the CIA, why not give here some Hill-esque cameos?
What I'm guessing is that Coulson will be in Age of Ultron, Fury will become Director again, and the Kree-Coulson situation puts him back with the team as someone they're watching, not as team leader.

I like what they are doing with Fitz but every time he is talking and trying to find the words I share the characters' impatience and am mentally thinking "Find the damn words!"
I wonder if they are going to find a cure for him eventually? More magic Kree fluid?
The fight between two May's went on for far too long for a 1-hour show. It made me have to question why Coulson didn't just incapacitate her as soon as he verified she was a fake instead of just giving her a little punch?
Well, she was a SHIELD agent before her brainwashing, so it's not like she was going to go down in one punch. The fight was a bit long, though I'd really like to have that mask technology. Speaking of the brainwashed agent, anyone catch her name? I somehow either keep missing it or it hasn't been offered yet but considering what happened last night I have a hunch of who it is.
I'm guessing she's a roundabout way of introducing Madame Masque into the universe. Which would be nice, I'm getting tired of Hydra and some Maggia action would be an entertaining angle to go.

I got psyched over seeing Mockingbird in action. I was annoyed at that goddamn three point stance that appears all the damn time, the one that ScarJo did multiple times in Iron Man 2.
Though I did agree that she's better as a blond.

What I loved most was that the cable teaser didn't give the darn twisty away (for once). Ok. The episode was pretty darn good as well. Nice to have Simmons back. Of course, they've been foreshadowing this whole brainwashing thing pretty hard, so I'm guessing that someone got the ol' laundry treatment to the noggin, but they're just not telling. Who could it be?
I'm liking the whole Skye's dad thing. Pacing it just right IMO. Should be fun.
