Fitzsimmons

Episode Review

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of things happened last night, and most of it was just reflections on how characters have changed, so I'll do a sections for each character.

Skye is still my favorite, and I'm proud of her for being so good at lying to her dad, but putting herself first. I still ship her with Lincoln, but I'd only want it to be like an 'accessory relationship'. Her character needs to focus on her powers, and her development as both an agent and a superhero, and her emotions and thoughts on her family situation. She should never be miserably assigned as nothing more than a girlfriend to a less interesting male character, and I trust the writers to do that. I'm so looking forward to Skye's character development.

Coulson is really the only one who's remained mostly the same, and I'm okay with that. His character is the leader, as well as the support for all of the other characters. I think that's what makes him so likable. His morals are all figured out, and he is always helping everyone and doing the right thing. I loved Coulson's "Hey, sweetie."

May is somewhat annoying me right now, but after last week's episode, I don't think I can ever judge her actions without seeing that vulnerable side of her. She's following orders from this S.H.I.E.L.D. because when she doesn't, bad things have happened. It's a lasting mark, and I'm sure she's terrified of starting another Bahrain scenario, because she really cares about everyone around her. And if the rest of the team saw that, they would be more sympathetic towards her.

Lance has evolved so much from just a bitter side character with witty sarcastic jokes. We're seeing his loyalty to Coulson and his devotion to the cause, and his true compassion for his friends. I loved how he handled Fitz's breakdown. I also love the way he follows Coulson like a duckling. He's so loyal it almost kills me.

Cal is getting difficult to decipher. Though I can understand his motives with Skye, and I feel for him not being able to raise Skye the way he should've, he did have control over the way he reacted. And he did not react rationally. Because of that, I don't think I can trust him. He is way too protective of Skye, and even if it's just trying to reclaim the lost childhood years, he doesn't see her as the responsible adult she is. He sees her as his little girl, but Skye can protect herself just fine.

I still do not trust Jiaying, but I can't explain exactly why. The Jiaying 2.0 that Cal stitched together is probably different from the original Jiaying, so if she ends up being evil, I can't blame her. Until then, I'm remaining opinionless.

Bobbi is handling everything very nicely, and I'm in the process of forgiving her. Honestly, she's mature about the entire situation, as well as kind towards Simmons. She's not where she used to stand on my favorite characters list, but she's getting there.

Mack is starting to get easier to sympathize with, too. Now I see that not much about his personality has changed between before and after the winter finale. It's still hard, recovering from that betrayal, but I think he's earning my trust back, piece by piece.

Ward is still despicable. He's so manipulative, and I will never be over that. Also, he threw my OTP into the ocean, which is unforgivable. I understand Fitz's stand. I hate that Ward is dragging Kara down with him.

Kara is absolutely amazing, and I'm shipping her with Mike Peterson. I want her to realize that she's better than Ward, and break away from him. Otherwise, if Ward leaves her first, Kara's character will be diminished so much.

No comment on Bakshi. (He's just a puppet, like always.)

Lincoln is the best. I love his carefree attitude, yet respect and admiration of Skye is fantastic. He protects her in the right way.

I still love Gordon. That's about it for him.

Fitz is progressing so much. He's learning how to be in the field, and how to go undercover (and look great doing it). The only thing I wish he would've done better was restraining himself. He has every right not to trust Ward, and I could see him struggling with Ward being on their team, but he should've thought about it before just lunging at him.

And Simmons is one of my favorites right now. She's so sassy, yet she trusted May so much, and I can see how betrayed she feels. She's all alone now, and I'm scared she won't handle that well. But I think she will, because she's so strong. And I think she might have a fight scene in the promo because she's wearing tactical gear. (And so is Fitz, they're sitting next to each other in the promo!)

Yeah I'm super excited for next week.

Remember to comment your opinions, and I'm just curious, so comment your top three favorite characters. Thanks for reading.

Peace Out.
