beccaelizabethHmmm. Lots of clever enough action, but mostly it felt like they had somewhere to get the characters (Sleeping Beauty Skye) and everyone got shuffled around until they got there. Competently, interestingly, but. Feels like a middle.
also, I fear I don't mind one way or the other what happens to Skye, except in a vague generic why kill women kind of way. and i'm pretty sure they're not going to, permanently, so.
I did like the vanishing/stun trick. That was nifty.
I am still wondering why the team aren't super paranoid about the Clairvoyant having eyes on them and scanning each other and, you know, noticing that he's got a mole in SHIELD, rather than apparently going with the psychic cover. It's a bit stupid.
But then with the way the stories nested today the show pretty much promised us that what we the viewers see is subjective to one character at a time, they won't tell us more than the characters know, hence the vanishing part of the story. So possibly there's stuff going on we don't see. That would be irritating though.
Also I was thinking while watching that the Clairvoyant, if he's the guy behind all the eye implants, would also have an eye implant, because then you could never prove who was the boss, everyone would have a really good excuse.
I did like lots of the character stuff, May being awesome, Ward and Coulson with the table.
I'm trying to figure out why it felt like moving things into place to me, and I'm not sure I can put my finger on it.
Maybe because it didn't feel like discovering things, more reactions? And the box was just a box, we weren't particularly invested in finding out what was in the box, so when Skye got to the room at the end and walked right past the box that seemed like what the whole episode had been doing. Like they were motivated by the ending, which they hadn't known about.
Or, possibly, I'm just in a picky mood. :-(
Nice enough story to fill an hour with, kind of wish I was more invested because that ought to be very tense ending stuff. But I'll watch next week.
