Agents of Shield 2x01 (spoilers, obviously)

I thought it was awesome although noooooo, I didn't want Lucy Lawless' character to die!!! :((((

AND SIMMONS LEFT. WHY. I wanted to see them WEAN from codependence, not get cleaved in two before they were ready. We better get her POV on this, what the helllllll

May and Skye as a team. I LOVE IT. Like the trust between them already, that May worked on her weaknesses first. PLUS THEY WERE TOTALLY BADASS. :DDDD

And that last shot of Skye riding off on the bike while May steals the Quinjet? People have wrong GIF-ing priorities sometimes. Why is that not in the tags tumblr.

Although this made me totally grin. OK not always the wrong priorities:

I need some new icons, this one makes my heart hurt. Ow.

And I'm going to need more info on Simmons leaving, because they've got some explaining to do with that one.
Looks like we are getting it yesssss I can't remember if she made it out of the Hub with Skye's blood sample? Just that she wasn't able to figure out how to replicate "the drug" that brought her back to life and needed more resources. But I have a theory that that is why she left- to go do unethical things to get Fitz back to himself.

And maybe Isabelle Hartley isn't as done as she appeared- Lucy Lawless has said that she may be in other episodes or Marvel properties. (Maybe as flashbacks, but also maybe as ooh magical properties of the Obelisk blahblah, bend a couple rules about the permanence of death etc.) FINGERS CROSSED

Ooh, I like your theory of why Simmons left, it certainly would make a lot of sense. Now watch us both be disappointed when it doesn't happen. :/

My fingers are crossed as hard as they can be for Hartley to show up again, but yeah, I won't get my hopes up on that either and hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Well, I've done some re-watching and:
1. She knows about its cellular regeneration properties (but not its side effects), and it's Fitz's only hope of regaining his normal capabilities again.
2. The last time we see her try to unravel its mystery, she's uploaded the data to Dr. Weaver at the academy, who says "If you make it out alive you know where to find me".
3. She knows Coulson is dead against her researching this. ("I like following the rules and doing what's expected of me. It makes me feel nice.")
4. She's "getting better at [lying]" by her own admission.

So I'm hoping to see Simmons pull a Skye and work outside the system, and without Fitz. Please show pleeeeaase!

But more disturbing spec: I'm worried that Raina lied to Garrett about giving him the last of the serum. She also has the bulk of the serum research, both the stuff Hydra/Centipede did on those last 4 vials (seriously, why would she distill the 4 into 1 after realizing he only intended to use it on himself?) and that Simmons did on the Bus. And with Fitz extracting a promise from Jemma about how he would be lost if she went over to Hydra... well, this is a Whedon show, right? They sure like to make good on their foreshadowing, ("Simmons is seriously starting to unravel without Fitz." 1x07. WTF.) and this season's buzzphrase seems to be "Go dark", which could be a metaphor for all their character arcs too...
