blacklist:
I've only seen up to episode 16. (latest episode is 18.)

so the hubby is an agent. hope this doesn't turn into Alias. hubby becomes good guy and double agent type of thing.
but at least getting some answers.
now why did hubby's secret stash box of $ and passports have an etching of the girl agents fire scar she received when she was a kid?

saw ep 17.
when she draws her gun to survey the area, why is her finger NOT on the trigger?

finger stays outside the trigger until you intend to shoot, any law enforcement personnel will typically have a shooting policy that requires you to give verbal orders to any suspect along with half a dozen other measures before you ever reach the finger on trigger stage.

what you should be wondering is why she isnt in a low one handed hip side hold with the off arm extended to deflect any close quarter attack in a situation with not enough reaction gap distance.

the alias-esque sleeping with the enemy stuff does worry me.

Im glad that the Agents of Shield Clairvoyant storyline can pretty much die now and Hydra is in full effect.

I think the last two episodes were a definite improvement. Agent Handsome was a real shocker, though I'm assuming brainwashing.

Such a good pair of episodes for AoS.:eek:

They were good if you've seen Winter Soldier. I think the last 3 episodes were the only good ones, and thats because they tie in to the Marvel movies. Hopefully this means the show will do more of that.

I hope its not. That would be boring and predictable.

Yeah, but its tv and boring and predictable are the status quo.

Though, one of the things that makes Game of Thrones so good is its unpredictability. So keeping Ward as he now is would be more interesting. I kinda miss the Hand. I thought she and Coulson were going to get a room together at some point. Although I sensed we might see a little May on Coulson action in the future. After all its a small plane and now that Agent Handsome has apparently moved on Agent May might go for something else than the pilots stick.

Oh, and what was up with Hands hair? Red streak? I thought that was a little over the top.

There is always the possibility that
Ward killing Hand was a ruse as a way to get Hudson (dont remember his character name) to show Ward all the players in the Hydra conspiracy. Although he did outright kill fake Clairvoyant, but maybe it really was a matter of him not wanting to expose Sky to danger. I dunno, I have a hard time believing Ward would go this route on his own, unless the show runners are trying to get rid of his character. Even May doesnt go around killing people willy nilly.

I hadn't considered that, but its an interesting idea.

I am swinging towards either he is a Hydra agent (was trained by the mole after all) or is brainwashed, as he never does say Hail Hydra.

Killing Hand was a slight shock however. How many level 8 agents are still alive after all of this? Coulson and Captain America?
