iaria3x01 'Laws of Nature'
I really enjoyed it.
The biggest question is Skye or Daisy? I still think of her as Skye but since she's going to be Daisy from now on I should probably switch to that...
+ I love Daisy - her new look, her new control over her powers, her attempts to help Joey. I liked her quick thinking in turning her powers to the floor when they weren't working against the Inhuman killer. She feels a lot more settled in herself and I like that too.
+ The Daisy/Mack partnership is great. It's amazing how far they've come from last season and they clearly work really well together. I love them. Loved Mack's "Trust me, she's the muscle." and his protectiveness of her. Also: Mack musing about an ax/gun combo amused me a lot.
+ The Daisy/Coulson scenes were nice. I like that he's having a hard time with the name change and I loved her teasing him about being so pleased to have a new toy.
+ I liked the Rosalind/Coulson scene. She seems like she could be a good foil for Coulson and I enjoyed their sparring.
+ Hunter amused me several times - him choosing to ignore Coulson's sarcasm and accept his offer as sincere, his counting on the train - though I still find Hunter/Bobbi boring.
+ I kind of wish that last scene with Fitz and Coulson had been more of a group intervention because I wanted to see some Fitz/Skye and Fitz/Mack and Fitz/Hunter interactions too.
+ So is Fitz fully recovered? It kind of seems that way.
+ I liked all the mentions of the wider MCU universe.
3x02 'Purpose in the Machine'
+ "You did good, Tremors. You did good." - Mack. Mack/Daisy are thus far my favourite part of this season. I loved this line and him holding her.
+ I loved seeing Randolph again. He brought a lot of fun to the episode.
+ I liked the Daisy/Andrew scenes.
+ May's dad is great.
+ Still don't ship FitzSimmons but I did love that last scene with Simmons laying her head on his lap and taking comfort in his presence.
+ I'm not sure I really buy them finding Jemma so easily. Okay, she saw the flare but how and why was she still in the same area? I can understand her trying to stay there in the immediate after in hopes of rescue but for months? It seems unlikely to me for many reasons - where was she getting food/water, if she was being hunted wouldn't she have been forced to run father afield, how did she never get lost? Her rescue ended up feeling unearned.
3x03 'A Wanted (Inhu)Man'
+ "You can call me whatever you want." - Skye. ♥ Jemma's smile when she saw Daisy (she was so happy!), Daisy's gentleness with her, and the fact that Jemma was actually starting to talk to her was lovely. It was way too short but I love what we got.
+ I'm still really enjoying Rosalind/Coulson. I loved her hand puns and him being distracted by her car.
+ Mack's protectiveness of Daisy makes me happy. I loved him pulling the gun on Rosalind's second-in-command. I loved their final scene - her thanking him for not telling Coulson about her feelings for Lincoln, the fact that he kept that secret and then them playing video games together.
+ The Daisy and Mack game playing did make me think of Fitz/Mack and how they were in this same position this time last year and how little they've interacted this year. I miss their friendship. I think Daisy, Mack, Fitz and Simmons need to go on a mission together for an episode so we can get lots of interactions between all the pairs.
+ Fitz keeping the restaurant reservation all this time and keeping her lab desk exactly the same was sadly sweet and I loved that he cleared out the entire restaurant so she could be comfortable.
+ I'm enjoying the growing tension between Daisy and Coulson.
+ Hunter is so lucky that Ward wasn't there to meet him - and I was totally expecting Ward to walk out of the shadows - or he would have been so dead. Honestly Coulson made a big misstep in sending Hunter to infiltrate Hydra - Ward knows him! All it takes is one glimpse and Hunter is dead. A random unknown agent should have been sent in instead. Plus this is really personal for Hunter which could compromise him at a crucial point.
+ Random but - where is Mike? He was still working for/with Coulson and SHIELD in last season's finale, right? So where is he and more importantly why the hell hasn't this show made him a part of the cast already?
I really enjoyed it.
