I liked this ep. Fitz+Simmons have been kinda... amusing but blah to me so far and this kind of sold me on them and their relationship. Jemma is seriously bad-ass jumping out of that plane. I wouldn't be able to do it even if it was for the best. I can't decide if I'm hoping they're BFFs forever or if somewhere down the line they retire from fieldwork, move to the English countryside to work for some lab and raise precociously intelligent children together. Their house would be so chaotic and interesting (and probably a bit untidy).
Ward and Skye... meh, whatever. I think that she probably deserves to sweat it for a while and that if he had just snapped back to treating her exactly the same then it would be a. out of character for Ward and b. indicate that he actually doesn't care one way or another. I think acting indifferent is just his way of protecting himself from caring esp when the person he kind of cares about has just proven herself utterly untrustworthy. So, yeah, I don't think he's being too hard on her.
I really like May and Coulson. I think that they kind of need the calm from the kids that is each other (I hear adult conversation is kind of important sometimes when you're surrounded by kids, if only to keep you relatively sane). I do know that I want them to be bffs forever. The Zoe and Mal of the show- they've seen a lot of crap together, they trust each other, but they do not fancy each other. Although I can't decide whether May's sad face when Coulson talked to the firefighter dude was because she knows something or because she remembers/empathises. If its the former then I'm hoping it doesn't come back to mess up their happy dynamic later.
I've liked Fitzsimmons but this episode really made me LOVE fitzsimmons and give them more sperate personalities so <3333 JEMMA. MY BABYYYY SHE LOVES SCIENCE AND JUMPED OUT OF A PLANE TO SAVE EVERYONEEE. Their friendship is lovely and i'm perfectly fine with them moving to the english countryside.
Yeah she does deserve a little bit. I'm glad he's still got the protective instinct and you know deep, deep, deep down he's got feelings. lol. and YES I think he protects himself from people.
ahahah may and coulson also need to be bffs forever!!!
I really need to work out which is Fitz and which is Simmons because they
are still very much Fitzsimmons in my head. Although I've sort of got
Jemma in my head now (which helps) and I suppose I could try an remember
that Fitz means "son" as in "Fitzwilliam Darcy" (aka Mr Darcy!) so Fitz is
male and Fitz in the show is male so.... actually that could work!! I'm
gonna try and repeat that to myself "Fitz means male= Fitz is male!!!"
I keep noticing that the characters I sort of empathise with these days are
the adults. Like, am I getting old? I'm sure I used to practically ignore
the adults or not get them at all but these days I just have that same
"jeez, young people are so.... tiring where're the adults" thing that I
think May and Coulson (and Melissa and Chris and the Sheriff- whose name
better turn out to be John or I will be so confused!!) seem to display a
lot. :S I'm so old. LOL.
They kinda are. I mean Leo (Leo leo leo leo leo ... lego... ugh no brain)
is awkward and geeky and kinda would like the girl to like him. Jemma is
smart and wants adventure and excitable. Skye is possibly unrealistically
idealistic and torn between wanting to change the world and wanting to
understand the world and wanting to know who she is and wanting her team to
like her (even if they're philosophies go against theirs) and wanting to
prove herself. Ward wants to prove himself and wants to hide behind like
his image and wants to be independant and not tied down but still wants to
be respected and have authority.
May and Coulson at least know, roughly, what they stand for and who they
(in general) are even if that's been shaken by events. They don't have to
talk all the time or strive to make themseves a space or angst over how
people will perceive them because they've kind of moved past them. They
make their own space. They don't stand too much on ceremony. They
understand the system enough to know what they can and cannot and should
and should not do. They have respect because they've already earned it and
they show that in the way that they're not anxious about it. Does that
make sense?
Incidentally I think I'm more the first than the second but I wonder if the
second group are just better at hiding
where they intersect with the first group/.
ahahah Leoooooooo Yeah they all have their own personalities, and they want to prove themselves.
The adults, they are already grown they have different things to deal with than who they are.
Yeah i can see coulson isn't as unflappable as he likes, and May was obviously hiding from something for a while sooo it'll be interesting to see what happens there
Yeah I think the main difference between being a kid and being an adult is
that, as a rule, adults don't overly much care about other people's
opinions of them (if they think they're doing the right thing). They're
more settled (but no necessarily unshakable). I live to be disproved of
this notion which I'm sure is most likely wrong. LOL.
I do hope Coulson and May stay bffs though. Weather the storm and all that.
