That could be exactly what we see. She was the assistant director of SHIELD, so I could imagine she becomes the director of THE AVENGERS, manages them and all the corporate stuff with keeping such a group organized, legal, etc. She is the professional trained soldier who handles all the logistics/legal/corporate/intel aspects that would entail, probably acting as the filter for all information, their eyes and ears. This is kind of a role that would be needed since <insert rundown of the Avengers and how not suited they are here>.

That would be pretty neat. I would assume with SHIELD out of the picture, Stark is going to take on a more commanding role for the team (having set up Avengers Tower and all), and would be cool to have Hill kinda be like their commander from there. Maybe her signing on to the HR department at Stark Industries is more like a front for something like that.
I took it as she was in the HR department meeting room because that room happened to be free for an interview (not uncommon, or that HR has a hand in hiring), not that she would be working in HR. Either Way I bet you anything it is cover for then being the commander like figure for the Avengers. You don't get the former assistant director of SHIELD to fill any level in Human Resources. I do think it think her wworking in HR has to be a front, they will probably have some quip about it n The Avengers 2.
I don't think they have much of a choice anymore, but having Coulsonless missions might actually work better, as it would allow for the team to bounce off one another, organically filling certain roles, without all of the dialogue deferring to Coulson to info dump and assign tasks.
Hm, I actually like that idea, though I do think it should not be a hard rule that he is not our in the field.

She's not a nobody though May is the god damn cavalry. Her story is well known throughout S.H.I.E.L.D. She has the same clearance level as Natasha Romanov. And we also know she has actively prevented her rise in S.H.I.E.L.D. She would probably be Clearance level 8 along with Coulson and Hand if the whole cavalry thing never happened. More importantly you have to know he would vet the living day lights out of the person who was tasked with such an important job.

When I saw The Avengers I hadn't seen in her in anything else and I totally believed in her ability to play the role. After watching 8 seasons of HIMYM I still didn't realize I had seen her before. I think she plays the role well.
Civil War is coming whether anybody wants it or not.

The whole Uncle Cletus of Hydra routine is gold as far as I'm concerned.
He's been really great so far. The moment he showed up on the show, I knew he wouldn't just be a random guess appearance. I'm glad they put him in the forefront of the plot.

Honestly, I think if they do a Civil War-ish type story it will only bear passing similarities to the comics. Like, I think it would be less of a war and more like a skirmish. The Civil Tussle. And just be at the beginning of, say, Avengers 3 before Thanos shows up and everyone has to agree that their previous fight was pointless in the face of universal annihilation and band together to beat off Thanos.
Makes sense considering the Hydra infiltration is now common knowledge.
And I mean we
know she is appearing in AOS soon
Well the culmination of Winter Solider in the comics is
Cap dying and passing on mantel to Bucky, which is a part of the resolution to Civil War, so it will be interesting to see how they integrate it.

I actually liked that episode, for once.
Mostly because Skye will get crushed once they find out the truth about Ward, and because this means Ward will get the bullet eventually.
And Graviton stuff, I can't wait to see that.

A Civil Squirmish perhaps?
That does sound like quite the feat. I'm guessing that the heavy hand of the Hulk just wasn't enough....
Yeah Ward is gonna be dead sooner rather than later, probably by the end of this season. He's done some cold shit and like someone else already said, it's hard to switch him back again.

Well... people would definitely be squirming... so sure!
Well, in Infinity Guantlet, Hulk and Drax team up and try to take out Thanos together. They fail.
In summary:
Is there a connection?
Is one supposed to be a counterpart or rip-off of the other?
MCU as in Marvel Cinematic Universe?
How was Fury absent during her introduction?
I thought those were complex multiverses.
I am not a comic reader,
but I thought there were at least two main comic lines going on,
the old one, which is sometimes called 616, (the same number the Bus has)
and the "Ultimate" one.
I've stuck with it from the start and I definitely think it has improved over the season. Particularly after
Skye got shot

A bit LTTP, but after watching Captain America 2 I caved in and I finally started watching Agents of Shield... And I've liked every episode so far (just watched That Magical Place).
Maybe I'm easily pleased, or I was just expecting a truly awful show reading some comments in this thread (I've been lurking for a long time now, and sadly I got some stuff spoiled
), but besides some bad choreography
I'm enjoying every part of it.

Can we talk about why Skye is so terrible?
She comes across as an awful attempt at fan service. The problem is, the stopped with the fan service bit after some of the earlier episodes, and tried to make her pull at our heart strings when most of the audience probably didn't give a shit about her, ergo people enjoying the series more after she was shot (and was given less screen time). To me, she's just superflous as the team's "sexy hacker", when they got Simmons who could easily fill the same shoes. Sure, she served as the audience vehicle into the world of SHIELD, but there were other ways they could have gone about that (like recruiting an actually talented person), and even so she could easily be offed now and no one would shed a tear.

Skye is necessary. Like you said she's the audience surrogate, but she is also Coulson's favorite (and his pupil in some sense). Simmons could have filled the hacker role but not the other aspects of Skye's character without losing her own backstory and connection with Fitz. She's too involved with SHIELD. Skye was not.
So I think she does have a place in the show, but the writers have been kinda clumsy about figuring where and why until recently. Didn't help that her lines for much of the beginning were pretty bad. I do like Chloe Bennett though. She's cute and has good enough chemistry with everyone except Ward (until recently I'd say). Now that she's a an 084, things will be interesting I hope.

Didn't the last episode open with her telling Coulson he was right about the need for SHIELD, as though the writers completely missed the point of TWS?

I disagree with what you're insinuating the point of TWS is but it's not really possible to debate it here without spoiler tags.

Saw Cap 2 a few days ago.
Still really good even though this spoiled me.
Interested to see how they go forward with this show based on that and how it might tie into future movies.

Didn't they say Ward's actor didn't know until a few episodes before? It's funny you mention it though. The scene where Ward is talking to Flower Girl felt so contrived, like the writers were really desperate to convince us that they had this planned all along.
Speaking of Ward though, that scene where Garrett is beating him up while drilling him on who he is genuinely have me chills. It also makes me wonder if he's given up his identity before, who he really was.

It adds a little depth to a guy who was as interesting as wall paper paste up until recently, that's for sure.
You mean the two episodes as a tie in spoiled you to the thing it was tying into?
=( You're right. I guess the positive is that after the show hit it's lowest point, it started going right back up. Which means it actually could have gone even lower.
Chloe Bennet should do some voice acting. I think I just forgive all of her acting because of her voice. She's getting better though. Also she's asian.

Depends on which screen you are talking about.
Contrived, yes, but there's a lot of good about that talk between Ward and Raina. I especially liked the distinction they mmade between Ward's relationship with either of his superior officers, made even more interesting by following that up with the scene with Garret you were talking about.
I'm actually interested in Ward now, which is a quite the feat the writers have managed.
Graviton is *so* far outside of their league, if they are actually bringing him back as a villain he is going to have to job hard as fuck to sell being beaten by these assclowns.

I did find it weird that Fury trusts May enough to monitor and potentially kill Coulson, but not enough to let her in on whether he's alive. (TWS spoilers)
To be fair, he did the same thing with Black Widow in TWS. Maybe he just doesn't fully trust women that remind him of himself?

Hot damn, I was pretty meh about most of this series but the past few episodes have been fantastic, one of the few shows I am itching to see the next episode of.
Really hope this gets renewed.

Why was this show canceled? And holy shit, they have to nurf his powers if they want him to give the Agents an "even" fight.Rafa=FedKilla

I think they need to bring back some fanservice.
Why? jeph Loeb.

I've seen saying this since that scene at the end of episode 3 teased him as a potential future villain/threat.
There's just no way they can take him and there's really no way the show budget will be able to him justice. I dare not begin to imagine how much they'll nerf him. Especially after how they handled Deathlok.
I really wish the show would continue to make up villains/threats instead of attempting to bring in a crazily OP one that even the Avengers struggle to put down...
