Hey, we made it! The first episode was kind of different from what I was expecting, but still really good.
So first of all, I did not expect all of the Hydra leaders to be killed off in the first episode. Coulson’s plot to get them worked extremely well. When they got into the car crash, I was really worried. And then when May got shot, Coulson’s scream sounded so realistic that I almost panicked, but then Coulson got shot and I’m like “well something has to be going on here”. Hunter seems to be a man of many accents…he totally freaked out Bakshi (I probably didn’t spell that right) when he pulled the gun on him.
The flashback with the eyeless guy (Gordon?) at the beginning was interesting. It looks like we’re going to be seeing a bit more of Skye’s mom this season which will be nice.
Raina’s new form is pretty scary. I was surprised how insecure she was about herself…she really looked like she was trying to die at the end. The Raina from Season 1/Season 2A has been very invested in self-preservation. It was unexpected that she was so willing to throw away her life just because she wasn’t as pretty as she expected. And Cal’s reaction to her change was amusing. I laughed when he started skipping when he heard about Skye’s transformation. Raina could’ve ripped him to shreds, and he starts skipping. The guy is absolutely insane. And when he basically told Raina to kill herself…not nice.
Simmons’ behavior was also extremely different in this episode…Trip’s death clearly had a huge impact on her. The Simmons from previous episodes never would’ve tried to kill Raina, nor suggest killing her to her bosses. Skye better be careful around Simmons from now on.
I was very surprised at how emotional Coulson was in this episode. When he was talking to Skye, he nearly had a meltdown, and as Skye pointed out to May later on, it was very unlike him.
Mack’s rage at Coulson was pretty intense…I understand where he’s coming from, but I agree with May that he was out of line. It was interesting how Bobbi played the peacekeeper in that scene…I feel like her role and Mack’s are usually reversed, with her being the emotional one, and Mack calming her down. Speaking of Bobbi, I can’t believe Hunter bought that story about her and Mack being in a support group. Really, Hunter?
The Fitz and Skye scenes were very powerful, which is unusual for those two…whenever they’re in a scene together, it’s usually pretty light-hearted. I was really upset when Fitz was accusing Skye of causing the earthquake, but it was clear how afraid he was, both for her and for himself and the rest of the team. Later on, when he lied to protect her from Simmons, I nearly cried. Especially at their hug at the end. I was glad that it was Fitz and Skye that shared the hug as opposed to Skye and Coulson…it’s nice to see her have an emotional relationship with someone other than Coulson.
And that end scene, with the team reminiscing about Trip. :'( Although they were telling stories about Trip (I loved Skye’s imitation “C’mon, girrrl”, the vibe from the scene felt like it was the actors talking about how different the show would be without B.J. Either way, it worked really well.
Can’t wait for the next episode!
Sneak peek 2: This is extremely intense…I don’t think I can wait 24 hours until the premiere!!!

Day 28 (YAY!!!)-Future Plotlines:
1) Tommy- it would be really interesting to see the effects of The Well on Ward’s youngest brother.
2) Cavalry-I’d like to see how May dealt with the immediate effect of Bahrain, as well as more details into what happened in Bahrain.
3) Fitzsimmons-I think there should be a scene that shows what made Simmons decide to leave.
Most obvious plot device:
I’m going to go with Koenig/the Koenig brothers. Although I love them dearly, I think they are just plot devices. Eric’s death in the first season triggered Skye’s discovery of Ward being Hydra. Sam and Billy haven’t served much of a purpose in Season 2 other than for some comic relief, and having a really awesome umbrella.
Least favorite plot twist:
I’m going to say Ward being HYDRA. The execution of this plot twist was really well done; I was completely shocked by Ward’s reveal at the end, I just didn’t like that it meant Ward was ‘evil’. Although it has added a lot of interest to his character, I really liked pre-Hydra Ward and how he was trying to define his relationship with the team. The writers have done an amazing job with his storyline, and I’m sure I’ll enjoy watching whatever path they take with him
Day 28 (Well that wasn’t so bad, was it?): Future Plotlines
I wish they would revisit the plotline of Henry working for Rumple. Even if it’s in flashbacks since Rumple’s currently out of town, I would like to see their interactions as grandfather/grandson with a little magic thrown in the mix.
I see white (or maybe its a very light blue) and gold. A few of my friends see it like that too, but a lot of other people see black.
Day 27- Most Obvious Plot Device
The Magical Gauntlet of Feelings that was the dumbest…I mean really? You have a ready made reason for Anna to tell the tale of Rumple: HER NAME IS BELLE.
THIS! I also agree with every other plot device everyone has mentioned so far (Blue Fairy, beans, Tamara’s taser…), except the one about Neal, but that’s not really something we need to go into here. But the plot devices on this show are exceedingly ridiculous.
First of all, I HAVE A SNEAK PEEK

Favorite Plot Twist:
This show has had a lot, but my favorites are probably Skye’s mom being an Inhuman, and Coulson being behind the TAHITI project.
