Marvels Agents of Shield episodes 12 and 13 review

The continuation of Skye's discovery and terror of her new mysterious powers has kept me dubiously stuck to keeping the eight o'clock slot of my Friday night free.
I even have to tell my Mum to keep quiet when it's on, she just doesn't understand that I have to have absolute silence to follow the story in detail.
In addition, this week I couldn't help but laugh when Mai's husband came on board and Fitz said that there's one who listens and the other never speaks. That was a precise summation of their relationship I think and it gave us to see an actual human response from Mai in the form of laughter.
Not only that but the depiction of Simmons struggle at Fitz's betrayal was a valid touch to the story that is so heavily Skye orientated.
I find Mac's character a bit boring in that he doesn't seem to bring much energy and I don't feel anything for his character. Also, his reveal that he's working for the real shield felt really fake in terms of how the actor executed his dialogue. I felt like there was no feeling from him and that he was literally saying the words because he had too.
However, I have enjoyed his relationship with Fitz and Simmons as he seems to really care about them and the work that they do. 
Skye's father is a bit strange and I felt he wasn't really needed because he felt really small in terms of the damage he could do whereas the people he recruited to take down shield were far more terrifying than him, I mean that man who killed all those cheerleaders just by roaring was just scary.
I felt like Coulson has taken a back sit in these episodes and that he's lost some of his authority because so many other members have their own agendas. 
Hopefully, he'll be brought back into it a bit more once the team come back together.
