[Itse]

I have to say I'm starting to get really close to giving up on the series. The Hydra-within-Shield thing was already beyond dumb, but this new Shield thing is really making my suspension of disbelief work overtime.

So now we have another Shield that seems to actually have more resources than the one we generally see, that for some reason feels like it has to take over the other Shield in secrecy, despite the fact they identify themselves as the part of Shield that wants transparency?

Ri-ight... I am so not buying into that right now. I'm just so not interested in what will come out of it, because I'm starting to feel that it's probably just going to make my brain hurt. It didn't help that none of the dialogue was in any way interesting.

In fact this is a continuous problem with the whole series. There's potentially very interesting/entertaining stuff going on, but most of the time the characters really have nothing interesting to say about it.

Skye has been the worst. The character has been dragged through hell, but pretty much the only reactions we get to see is some OTHER character saying "she's changed". All Skye herself gets to do is look shocked, because more often than not she literally has no lines in a scene. It's such an amazing waste.

I also really didn't buy the way Skye's dad brought together his superevil posse. Or the makeup of that group. Nor was I really interested in it in any way.

I still like Fitz among other things, and I'm generally a sucker for all things Marvel, but right now I think I'll give it until the end of this season and then I'm done.
