Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. "Seeds" Review

This is the episode after Coulson's world has been shaken. He has learned that he was brought back to life after days of being dead. So I was happy to see that he didn't have a quick recovery from that fact. That he was still reeling from the information from the previous episode.

Through May's dialogue we find out that Coulson has become obsessed with what he found out in last episode. It's so bad that May decides to help Coulson find out about Skye's parents. So something May had no interest in she suddenly finds interest in when Coulson needs a distraction.

We find out that Skye's heritage is still unknown but that she was being protected by SHIELD agents. Skye is something dangerous and she was found amongst carnage.

What made my eyes tear up, but not to the point of full blown tears, was the speech Coulson gives at the end of the episode. He remarks to May that when he told Skye the truth that the girl was strong. She took something good out of the horrible truth. That, in turn, seems to have given Coulson some strength.

I also love how when May tells Coulson that she's sleeping with Ward he doesn't care. He has faith that May will know how to react if things go bad in the relationship.

And this is probably just my shipper mind, but: is May shy with telling Coulson the truth because she thinks she's cheating on him or that she thinks she's not acting like a good agent?

The main focus of this episode, the mystery in other words, is who is attacking the academy. With this plot we get to find out that the different departments of SHIELD are sort of in competition with one another (something Ward exploits to figure the mystery out).

The culprits turn out to have faked a danger so that Fitz and Simmons would help them solve a problem.

The surviving culprit (of the two) is Donnie Gill who I hope to see more of, especially with the creepy last shot we had of him. On imdb his character is listed as Donnie Gill/Blizzard so I have high hopes we'll see him again.
