This show's hiatus was one of the most painful. Why? Because of that killer cliffhanger at the end of last episode. Coulson was captured and it seemed we were finally going to get answers in this episode.
Now I've seen enough to know that when an episode seems to promise the answers to all things that it won't happen. All you can hope for in those episodes are some parts of the major questions being answered. And in this episode we do find out that Coulson is not a Life Model Decoy.
I knew that wouldn't be the case, but I was still saddened. I'd have loved to have a Robot Coulson.
However, we do find out that Coulson was dead for a few days and Nick Fury couldn't let him die. From the end of the episode it seems that whatever happened in the procedures wasn't something you talk about in polite conversation. So Fury must have really wanted Coulson alive as he doesn't seem to be one to go to the Dark Side quickly.
Skye is given a real chance to shine. She's not guided by anyone, that much, and she is able to complete her mission. When she pretends to be May she looks extremely good in that outfit. Not only physically, but she looks good because there was this badassness that was in every inch of her.
May is shown to care about about the team. She may have a rigid exterior and you can hardly tell what she's thinking, but she cares about the group. Maybe not the whole group, but Coulson himself for sure. As she toys with a fellow agent to allow Skye the ability to work as best as she can so Coulson can be found.
If you're wondering: I do ship Skye and Coulson but the idea of May and Coulson is seeming pretty good right now.
Fitz and Simmons have some good moments in the episode. Including one where Simmons badly hides that a bag doesn't contain a sandwich and Skye tells Simmons that she isn't a good liar.
The scene where Coulson finally remembers his operation is cringe worthy. Not in a bad way but because the scene is so emotional that you can't help but feel something. And that swell of emotion makes you cringe because there's not much else you can do to let your feelings out.
Okay, I might have squealed and yelled at the tv if no one else was around. But that wasn't an option for me tonight.
So while we got a few questions answered, there are more out there: How did they manage to have Coulson dead and bring him back to life? Was the reason for changing Coulson's memory the reason stated in the episode?
I wonder about who this Clairvoyant is and what powers he or she actually has. Maybe if Coulson's story is fully revealed then the Clairvoyant will be the next big mystery to be solved.
