This is the crew from the Season 1, pre-All Those Who Wander so to include Hemmer, who we didn't deserve to see die so early.

I left out all the named crew members that were seen only in an episode.

The tv show uses the old Stardate method. But according to Memory Alpha, 1x01 takes place in either 2259.42 or 2259.55 (there's a note about the episode occurring in the same day the events of Into Darkness happen in the AOS timeline.

Number of crew complement from a ship overview/scan seen in Discovery.

———————————————————————————————

Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip) Not satisfied. Everything looks better with the AOS colors (gray background). Also, there aren't much pics of the sets to play with. Some had to be taken from the tv show, which means dark sets.

One of the most memorable things about AC S1, from the time of the premiere to right now, is how blindsided people are by Daniel's anger in 1x07.

The funny thing is, if we have paid attention in 1x03, we really shouldn't be.

Look at everyone's reaction in the office after Krzeminski's death. Peggy is shaken but she is very preoccupied with Howard's case. Jack is upset but seems generally resigned, chiming in only to say he'll call Krzeminski's girlfriend. Dooley is like a commander at war: he is not losing anyone else on his watch.

Daniel, on the other hand, was livid. Look at what he says:

Sousa: Really puts you back there, doesn't it? Somebody buys it, you realize could happen anytime, any day. How did it happen? Professional hit. Him and our only witness. Must have been watching us at the scene. I knew something was fishy about that anonymous tip. Who does that? Peggy: A concerned citizen? Sousa: Concerned citizens call the cops. This guy called us directly. It's not like we're in the phonebook. Somebody targeted them, and I'm gonna find that bastard. [Lines taken from here]

He is damn rageful at this figure who, from his perspective, is one step ahead of the SSR since the club in 1x01, who led to the death of one of their own (and it could very easily have been Daniel himself; he was the one taking night shift with Krzeminski). He wants to take down this culprit, almost as an act of revenge. Couple that with how he has always seen Peggy as an ally, as someone in his corner, putting her on a pedestal, is it any wonder that he explodes in her face when, to his knowledge, she turns out to be the traitor?

And that just adds another layer to one of the themes of S1: that everyone has a past, and everyone has blind spots because of that. Peggy was valued during the war but is now sidelined, so she is wont to see everyone as an obstacle. Jack hides a secret and is...a sexist prick, so he can't see why someone like Peggy would sincerely devote herself to what he sees as a lost cause, among other blind spots. Daniel is a more straightforward and steadfast person who doesn't play games that way, and that makes it hard for him to see past that sincerity, to pander to the drunk from the docks and to stomach Peggy's perceived betrayal.

Even us as the audience are blindsided. We watch this story through mainly Peggy's lens. Heck, most of us started watching the show for Peggy; we were with her in CATFA and CATWS! In the Agent Carter short! In her AOS cameos! We are predisposed to like her and to only see the events of early S1 from her perspective!

Isn't this why everyone will keep being surprised by Daniel (and the rest of the SSR)'s reaction in 1x07?

Finally finished the first fanfic I’ve written in over 5 years!!! Here is the first chapter, I will be posting the other chapters in one week increments.

Where the Dreamer Ends

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Archive Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Category: Gen

Fandoms: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Supernatural

Characters: Skye/Daisy Johnson, Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz

Additional Tags: Supernatural AU, AoS characters in the Spn universe, Canon-Typical Violence, Found Family, AoS 1x01 Pilot, Spn 1x17 Provenance, the characters are based on their season 1 versions, hence why Daisy is called Skye, I’m hopeful that this will be the first part of a series but no promises, no emphasis on romantic relationships, just a group of misfits versus an ugly homicidal painting, Skye’s POV

Summary: Skye's normal life is turned upside down when she has a brush with the supernatural. She meets a group of hunters, people who are devoted to fighting the supernatural, and joins them to help take down a homicidal spirit. Will Skye return to her normal life, or start anew down a much riskier path?

It's about damn time for another round of rewatch 🎉

S1 really hits different. S1 Skye really is something else. I think after like... the 10th rewatch? I finally felt the excitement that Daisy stans felt when they saw Skye the first time 😂 I do fall in love with her more and more after each rewatch.

Also, I can't help but scream whenever I see May. Like I don't think I was this excited during the last rewatch.

Also, the BUS!!!!! It truly feels like home 🥺🥺🥺 I miss it. I miss everything S1. And I miss seeing you-know-who too. When everything is so pure if you block out everything that's going to happen afterwards 🥺🥺🥺 And when the biggest question was what happened in Tahiti.

Oh, and the music, it's everything 🎶

The part with Coulson & Mike just reminds me of 5x12 and I'm ready to cry.

And knowing what J. August Richards went through that helped him got the part, Mike's speech hurts 10x more.

[samanthaswishes]

Agents of SHIELD Rewatch Season 1A (ep. 1-11)

Here's my commentary on my rewatch of Agents of SHIELD Season 1 Episodes 1-11. This may not be the best commentary since these are just the thoughts and opinions that come to my mind as I watch the episodes rather than a full-blown analysis, but I'm just having fun with it!

1x01 The Pilot

Something about Skye's voice being the first voice you hear. I don't know what about it, but I like it.

This is a Mike Peterson appreciation blog. He deserved to be in so many more episodes after season 1.

BABY SKYE!!

The only part that sucks about rewatching season 1 is that I know Ward is Hydra, so even when he's doing good, I know what his main motives are.

This is like my millionth time watching the pilot, and I just now realized that the line "if the job was easy, it wouldn't be any fun" that both Ward and Garrett say was introduced in this episode.

"It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out shield"

"You haven't been near his arms" *in regards to Thor*

"Welcome to Level 7" YESSS BITCH!!!!

Coulson's so wholesome and pure I love him so much!🥺

Thank you Agents of SHIELD for forever making me say "It's a magical place" whenever Tahiti is mentioned ever.

The fact that Ward's first thought when Coulson is talking about the Rising Tide is to cross them off. Finding all these red flags.

"Little poop with knives sticking out of it"

Okay, but why was Hill drawing a porcupine on Ward's evaluation?

The fact that Chloe Bennet was only 20 in the pilot (aka the same age as me rn).

I see a lot of people (mostly reactors on YouTube) say that they were annoyed with Skye at first (which I can understand), but for me, she just always had some sort of charm that made me fall in love with her.

"With great power comes... a ton of weird crap that you are not prepared to deal with." one of the most ICONIC Skye/Daisy lines.

Also, it's crazy to see how bubbly and innocent Skye was. So different from Season 7 Daisy.

The fact that you can so clearly see that Phil and Melinda had lots of history together from the first scene together.

"It's a really nice bus" I MISS THE BUS

Fitzsimmons was also so innocent back then. (If you've been following me for a while, you know my feelings on Fitzsimmons in the later seasons (more so on Fitz), so I'll try to keep my emotions on them to a minimum until the time where I can rant :) I'll just appreciate season 1 them for now.)

"Don't touch Lola"

Coulson really showed up to Skye's van completely ready to adopt her.

"What's your real name?" This line hits hard in the fact that she actually doesn't know what her real name is yet.

You can clearly see how excited Simmons was and how nervous Fitz was about their first field mission as soon as they step out of the car.

Skye came off as a little hot-headed, but she's actually so smart. Like she said, SHIELD had billions of dollars of equipment, and she was able to crack Centipede with her own skills.

I love that Fitz sings "Heigh-Ho" as he sends the dwarfs outs.

Skye has canonically cosplayed outside Stark Tower at least once.

"She can be an asset" Oh Phil, you have NO IDEA.

They say "what the hell" so much in this show. *see Agents of What the Hell on YouTube"

Coulson doesn't care about your protocol, Ward.

"GrAmSy"

From episode one, you can clearly see just how big Skye's heart is and how she really does care about people.

"When you get back, I'll show you my thing. Oh, it's not. It's my hardware. MY EQUIPMENT!"

You can also see in Skye's face where her morals lie as soon as Mike shows that he brought Ace along.

Mike taking Skye is just the first of many times Skye is kidnapped.

"Don't ever tell me there's no way." The fact that this has been so prevalent throughout the whole series.

Coulson's walk is so a dad coming to rescue his daughter you can't tell me otherwise.

THE WAY COULSON JUST CASUALLY LEANS BACK WHEN MIKE BREAKS THE VAN DOOR😂

The smile on my face the first time I watched May take out the guy that was gonna shoot Skye.

Mike's speech during this episode👌🏼

Fitz slapping Ward's back will never not be funny to me.

Howard Stark would be proud of Lola.

1x02 0-8-4

I wish we got to see the hula girl one last time in Season 7.

I don't know why May referring to Skye and Fitzsimmons as kids makes me so soft.

The SHIELD logo on the water is so funny to me.😂

Not gonna lie, Fitz's little crush on Skye during 1A was kinda cute. Never really shipped them though. Definitely don't in the later seasons.

1x02, May says to never call her the cavalry again. In 7x13, she finally reclaims the title for herself.

I don't know about y'all but May double-wielding guns is pretty hot.

"WhY aRe ThEy HeRe?"

Simmons, why would think that opening a window in literal gunfire would be a good idea?

May and Ward yelling at the Bus Kids like angry parents on a family road trip.

If I have to hear Ward say "I'm a SpEcIaLiSt" one more time...

One of the things I love about Elizabeth and Iain's acting is when they're working with the holo table. I'd look so stupid in that position.

Just wanna say that I absolutely LOVE Skye's clothing style in season 1.

Don't worry Skye. You'll know what it's like to get shot in 11 episodes. (I'm sorry).

"100 people with 1% of the percent of the solution, that'll get it done. Pieces solving a puzzle." This was the line the solidified Skye as my favorite character, and it still remains one of my favorite lines from her.

You're not slick, Camilla.

See, their first mistake is messing with the Melinda May. She's not gonna take that well.

So Fitz and Simmons know the story of the cavalry, but they didn't know it was May? You'd think her name would be tied to the title no matter what.

UGH, I hate this whole "nice Ward" thing. I can't stand it when he says nice things because he's basically lying.

"WhOt ThE hELl WaS tHaT?"

I love Coulson's trust in his team despite seeing them not get along at all at least an hour earlier.

May's tired of all their shit.

Thank god Skye was the only one who actually read the pamphlet.

I love how May still got it after not being in the field for about 6 years. I mean, I haven't taken a dance class in 2 years, and most of my flexibility is gone now and some skills I've already lost.

Coulson checking on Lola is a mood.

You think May lowkey wanted to be Skye's SO from the beginning? Cause when Ward asks if she was talking about him, she kinda has this face that says "Okay, fine, I'll let him have this one."

The team watching the rocket launch on the edge of the ramp door is the last time that they ever had any kind of happiness until the finale.

Also, love the Fury cameo.

1x03 The Asset

I find it funny that the truck driver is named Agent Mack. Also, the fact that they used that name for Mack in season 2.

Skye working out is the biggest mood.

That silhouette shot *chef's kiss*

The scene with the cowboy and the gold is so random. Like I know it's important to the plot, but I just think it's ridiculous.

Saying this ten episodes in advance... FUCK YOU IAN QUINN!🖕🏼

Another rant on how I wish the show delve more into Skye/Daisy's past in foster care. Like why exactly she dropped out of high school, if she aged out of the system or ran away, how her foster homes have affected her mind and thought process, etc.

I just love how the show actually shows how smart Skye actually is. Like she isn't the same kind of smart as Fitzsimmons, but she had her own way of doing things and she's a quick thinker and really clever.

I also love how Coulson already has her thought process pretty much figured out, and that's why he knows how Ward should be going about training her.

I get that Ward has been abused, but I hate how he uses it to justify all the bad things and murders he has committed. I guess you could say Garrett brainwashed him into thinking that way, but after 2x06, Ward moves far away from redemption, and his actions can't be blamed on his past anymore.

Skye in that pink dress. I am looking respectfully. 👀

Love that May and Jemma are impressed with Skye's undercover work.

"I wanna hire you before someone else snatches you up." TOO LATE BUDDY

This episode may not be one of "the best" of the series but the fact that they introduce Gravitonium and basically set up an entire plot point for season 5 is insane.

The first time watching this, I couldn't tell if she was betraying SHIELD or playing Quinn. Still fully believe she’s was playing him.

“Her… uh, boobs." Oh, Fitz.

Also, Ming deserves an award because she has the best reaction faces.

YOU DIDN'T NEED TO RUB IN THE FACT SHE DOESN'T HAVE A FAMILY, QUINN!

How many times does Skye have to get choked out in the show?

“nOpe”

Oh Skye, don’t worry about the quakes. You’ll get used to it.😉

Bye Hall. You won’t be mentioned again until season 5.

LET’S GO MAY!!

Again, hate how this episode and the one in s2 are the only times Skye actually talks about her past.

“We won’t turn our backs.” FUCK. YOU. WARD.

1x04 Eye Spy

You know, if I saw a group of people walking with red masks on, I would be running so far in the opposite direction.

“The solitude” me too May. Me too.

Okay, but I love Jemma and Skye’s hair in this episode.

Also, I love that Skye hides in the cars when she misses her van.

Funny how they’re so against telepathy and precognition. Like they’re so against it and for what? Like, of all the things that have been proven to be true in this universe, you choose to believe telepaths aren't real?

Wish we got Akela more in the show.

Short Bus™

“Must hurt to be betrayed by someone you trained” WARD SHUT UP I SWEAR TO GOD

“Did you never learn that boy parts and girl parts are different and that our parts aren’t PeNiSeS?”

“bang?”

May, Coulson, stop fighting in front of the kids.

Skye actually calling May and Coulson mom and dad🥺

I feel so bad for Akela😭

Kinda feel bad for Simmons. She is not exactly trained in the medical field, but she still became the team doctor. Props to her for that.

Fitz is me in regards to the human body.

Props to Brett for learning lines in different languages.

THE WRITING ON THE WALL!

“Which way is south?”

Skye shoulda hit Ward with the car.

It’s the guy from ANT Farm!

So, Akela knew that SHIELD did something to Coulson.

Like what you see, Skye?

1x05 Girl in the Flower Dress

RAINAAAAAAA

Were Chan Ho Yin’s powers ever explained? They briefly mention it but not really. Like was he an experiment or is he like an inhuman or something?

Also, would you trust a woman you just met that night when she says “close your eyes?”

I haven’t played Battleship in forever.

“Have you ever heard of Steve Rogers? No.” … yes.

Ward, you didn’t even try to blend in.

I’d like to take this time to say screw Myles.

I was so shocked when May was on the other side of the door when I watched the first time.

So how long was May there to begin with?

Simmons, was the button comment necessary? I know you’re trying to be friendly though.

Raina is probably one of the most compelling villains in the show

“Now you’re making fun of my VAN!” She loves that van.

I love whenever Ming gets to speak Chinese on the show.

Why’d they leave Myles alone with Fitzsimmons? They look so terrified😂

Ghost Rider tease (not really but you get it)😉

Hearing these words come from Coulson to Skye really hurts.

I love you, Skye🥺

1x06 F.Z.Z.T.

Time for the first Fitzsimmons-centered episode.

“That’s something you say to an old person.”

Fitz’s comment about hearing Skye laugh again was so wholesome in s1. Why’d the show have to drive them apart?

Also, love the Ward impressions.

Skye poking the battery with a stick. That’s it.

Ward had absolutely NO RIGHT to be talking to Skye like that, like he was so hurt by her “betrayal”

THE cat™

These poor firefighters. They just wanted a souvenir from when they were first responders during New York.

“What are you looking for?” “A sCeNtEd CaNdLe!” “Not you.”

My favorite part of Coulson really is his humanity. The way he talked with the firefighter during his last moments is so heart-wrenching and beautiful. Telling him that it was beautiful on the other side.

I’d be scared if I was on the same plane as an object carrying an alien virus too.

Aw poor Jemma😕

Skye’s so worried about Jemma, she’s literally on the verge of tears. I love their friendship so much (save for s5/6).

Coulson really said screw Agent Blake.

All this talk about pandemics and vaccines in this episode really hitting close to home and I don’t like it.

It happens for a second, but we get the first sliver of Mama May and Skye when May softly pulls Skye away by her shoulder.

The special effects in this episode aren’t bad by any means, but it’s amazing to see how far they’ve come since then.

Coulson’s just a worried dad.

The Skimmons hug🥺

“Take off your shirt” OH KAY MAY. That line really threw me off the first time.

And there’s Fitz’s realization.

DON'T TOUCH LOLA

1x07 The Hub

The cold open for this episode is so random and I love it.

Also Agent Shaw.

"Everyone's wearing the same suit."

And we have Agent Victoria Hand and Jasper Sitwell.

Introduction of The Sandwich™

Also, the introduction of Bad Girl Shenanigans™

"VeRy VeRy ATtAcHeD."

You can truly see some of Jemma's Virgo-ness in this episode. (As a Virgo myself, I can say this is accurate. My birthday is actually the day after Jemma's/Elizabeth's).

The hallway scene is still so funny to me. Between Simmons' terrible flirting and Skye's "what?" face. It's great.

My lying skills are just about as good as Jemma's are in this episode. Depending on who I'm with/the situation, I either get really stuttery or I start laughing ridiculously.

Forever bitter that they cut that deleted scene of Jemma and May.

See, Skye knows when to pull away from her personal wants. She knows when the right time for it all is, and I don't think she got enough credit for that. You can't tell me, that if you were in Skye's position and the file on your past was right there, you wouldn't be curious. She did look away from it and looked at the mission when she realized she didn't have enough time. She still put the members of her team before herself.

I only think about the Charlie's Angels reference from the bloopers during this scene.

Not too much to say about this episode for me personally.

BUT I was fully convinced that before this episode, Skye was Coulson and May’s love child that they had to give up because of the job.

1x08 The Well

The first episode to connect with the movies. I personally feel like the show exceeded when it began to stray farther away from the movies.

Just a quick note: Thor: The Dark World is probably lower on my MCU movie list, but I don't think it was necessarily a bad movie. I actually did enjoy it quite a bit.

Skye simping over Thor is a mood, but May agreeing with her is just great.

"Doodads"

I want my own holo table.

That poor forest ranger. He's just so distraught. He just loves his forest.

Coulson and his puns.

It's so weird to hear someone refer to Ward as Grant. It's like when someone other than Coulson calls May Melinda.

I would very much like to punch Ward in the face. Yes, I know it's just the effect of the staff, but still.

People probably think of Asgardians when Coulson says he had one-on-one time with aliens. Even though, due to the time this episode came out, that's what the show was referencing, I like to think he's talking about the events of Captain Marvel.

YOU CANT TRUST HIM COULSON!

"Disco"

Not to be protective about Skye, but seeing her jump around Ward makes me very sad, and again, mad that the show basically chose to forget about her past and have other characters completely disregard it.

I could never stick my hand in someone's body, even if I could save them. I just don't have the guts or stomach to do that.

They made it seem like Thomas died in the well, so I was surprised when they showed him in season 3.

"Because I see it every day." UGHHHHHH the fact we know what happened in Bahrain, this hurts.😭

"Check out Portland. Great philharmonic" Just hurt me even more, show, why don't you.

I ALMOST COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE MAYWARD THING FOR A SECOND AHH NOOOO I HATE THIS!🤮

1x09 Repairs

Poor Hannah😕

I really did not like being reminded of MayWard. I also hate the fact that this wasn’t the first time they did this.

“Bringing along warm and fuzzy” Not gonna lie, but Skye does have a point, but at the same time, I do understand that Coulson just wants her to get an understanding of how it works.

I’m just curious as to why Tobias didn’t attack May after she shot Hannah with the ICER.

I really like Fitzsimmons in this episode ngl.

DAVIS D. DAVIS

It’s hilarious to me that Davis was a one-off, one-line character in s1 then became a full-fledged recurring character in s4-7.

Okay, but May on horseback, double-wielding guns would be a sight to see.

This episode is a prime example of how Skye always sees the best in people.

I didn’t really like Skye pressing May about her policies since it obviously cuts close to her past, but I do understand that Skye doesn’t necessarily know what May’s been through exactly.

“I think she needs to get laid” So does she know about May and Ward at this point? I don’t think so. BUT Ward freezing should have been a red flag.

Fitz is so oblivious in this episode, and I love it.

“hE dEmAtErIaLiZeD”

Love how Fitz is unscathed after they crashed the plane and he was in a closet, not tied down to anything.

“THANK GOD, WHERE HAVE YOU 🗑”

As someone who was raised Catholic (but not super-duper religious) and is now in a state of not knowing whether or not I still believe in God, Skye’s words in this scene really lift me up and give me hope.

Okay, but why was I low-key scared of this episode the first time I watched it? I think it was because it was late and dark at night when I was watching it😅

We get to hear a little about Bahrain, and I love it.

There’s no way around Melinda May.

“Hey, that’s our story”

I think May was truly ready to take Tobias out and put her own life on the line at this moment.

“Let the girl go” will always be a painful line.

There’s hardly any communication between May and Skye in the cockpit, but it’s still such a sweet scene.

They clearly did not watch Phineas and Ferb cause otherwise they’d know what an aglet is.

I think what I love most about this episode is the focus on both Skye and May, which leads to the cockpit scene, which basically is the start of their relationship, and they have one of the best platonic relationships in the whole show.

1x10 The Bridge

MIKE PETERSON!!!!!!!

Oh, we love the “he’s standing behind me” trope.

“Kidnap victim” Again, Skye, you have no idea.

I know they probably just chose a last name randomly, but what if Brian Hayward was related to Tyler Hayward from Wandavision? Just a theory.

Simmons really falls for a handful of people this season, doesn’t she? Mike. Trip. Fitz. I mean, I’d do the same with Mike and Trip.

Ugh, I love Coulson talking about Audrey, but the fact that Ward uses this information against him just infuriates me.

“Someone looking up to you” The fact that Skye never had that person to look up to as a kid🥺

I get that May is trying to protect Skye from the truth, but that was pretty harsh.

I JUST WANNA HUG SKYE!!!!

The fact that Coulson was talking about Skye when he says he’s seen what the effects can be when a parent is absent.

PROTECT ACE AT ALL COSTS

Not them threatening a child. I always hated this part.

Ace is such a happy kid ugh why do this to him😫

I often see people say that this episode is when the show got good, but in my eyes, the show was always good from the beginning. The first half of season 1 literally has some of my comfort episodes.

1x11 The Magical Place

"Is that a Roomba?"

Reverse Tower of Terror.

And Hand is back. Yay (said sarcastically).

The faith that the team has in Skye on her own is outstanding compared to the beginning of the season.

YES TO THAT JACKET

I love how confidently Skye stole a car in broad daylight.

I love how the Cage has those seats for most likely in case of a crash, but also for the purpose of opening the top in an interrogation.

Can we just like... not torture Coulson? I would really appreciate it, thanks.

"$ Bills Y'all"

Reiterating this: SKYE IS SO SMART AND CLEVER AND HARDLY ANYONE RECOGNIZES IT

Also, Skye impersonating May.

I know she's good, but honestly screw Hand in this episode.

So was that actually Garrett on the phone?

YES SKYE BEAT THEIR ASSES!

Don't bring up Audrey, Raina!

"Manscaping"

Coulson's faith in SHIELD and the system is both outstanding and heartbreaking.

"Who doesn't like flowers?" I mean, sure, but like, WHY????

The sequence of Coulson's mind and what happened in "Tahiti" is a whole trip and a half. OMG, that part is so good.

I didn't realize the alien writing was in the flashback for a second. They set up so many season 2 things so early on in season 1.

In this episode, you can really see just how much Coulson means to Skye. This is probably when she realized what Coulson meant to her.

"Nice jacket." YEAH, IT IS.

I love this team <3 (except Ward. He can burn in hell.)

under the cut is 79 100x100 icons of chloe bennet as skye johnson in the agents of shield episode ‘pilot’. screencaps were taken and edited by me. please like or reblog this post if you use them.

[bunnykaye]

i recently noticed that fitzsimmons have the same hair color at the beginning and the end of the show. In season 1 their hair was really light and blondish and in season 7 it’s the same shade of brown and I know that they didn’t do it on purpose but it’s still SOOO CUTE and SO fitting for their characters 💖

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

I agree!!! It definitely wasn’t intentional. But if I may add, not only did they have the same color at the beginning and the end of the show, but their hairstyles were pretty much the same as well -- Jemma with the mid-ish length, straight hair, AND OF COURSE...... Fitz’s curls. (lemme just cry again bc FLOOF 😭😭😭)

AoS 30 Day Challenge - Day 16: Best Season Premiere

Honestly, there isn’t a season premiere that I like the most. Some I like more than others but I don’t have a favorite, so I’ll go with Season 1 Premiere, the pilot, purely because it’s what started everything.

Thanks to it this show we’ve grown to love so much was able take off, and it’s always fun to see the team so innocent and young🥺

AOS Rewatch 1x01

I haven’t watched this since it originally aired and I remember SO little of it

Look at them directly talking about stuff that happens in the movies. remember when.

I absolutely did not remember that Mike had powers other than when he becomes all cyborg-y

Ward’s introduction scene is so generic spy stuff it’s very funny to me

It’s also very funny to me to think back on “May’s just the pilot”. Ward was absolutely right to be skeptical. 

“If you’re gonna be in the field Agent Fitz, you have to get your hands dirty.” “No, I don’t”. My heart. Oh sweet little baby Fitz. you’re gonna decapitate Kree soldiers one day without blinking an eye. 

But honestly the first season sets up the Ward twist so well. Because they play it so convincingly. Here’s our no nonsense tough handsome action hero lead. Here’s our quirky hacker girl. We’re totally going to go on adventure where they both learn to appreciate each other and be part of  team and they fall in love. Like a Hallmark movie with more guns and superpowers. That’s absolutely where this is going. Yup. Nothing to see here, just a typical tv pilot meet-cute. 

“and by luck I mean unappreciated genius” aw but Fitz is still Fitz. just. shyer. 

“Don’t want to get an F. An F means a massacre.” aww Fitz freaking out when he has to come up with a plan to save the day, and dealing with it by pretending its an exam instead of, you know... having a psychic split shooting Mack holding everyone else at gun point and doing a risky and painful surgery on Daisy against her will. 

My girl Daisy getting kidnapped and just kicking some random guy between the legs to start a brawl and escape. 

awww Ward’s soft little smile when they manage to stop Mike without hurting him

the phantom giggle of the jumpstart children. it haunts me. 

And Lola ending the first episode just like she’ll end the last.

Rewatching AoS 1x01 makes me feel two things; sadness because everything seemed so simple back then and anger because it really wasn’t.

Not only was Grant Ward Hydra since the beginning, but something that I realized rewatching this episode more closely is that May uses the same technique Grant does when he pretends he doesn’t want to join up.

Ward tells Raina later on in Season 1 that you get invited to a lot of parties if you pretend you don’t wanna go. And that’s how Coulson didn’t suspect him, Grant pretended he didn’t want any part in the team. Even though him joining up was part of the larger scheme.

But Melinda May did the same. She’s the one who came up with the parameters for the team for Fury, she knew she had to go on the Bus, and when Coulson approached her she acted just like Ward. She pretended she didn’t want to join up because her being on the low was also part of a larger scheme.

We all know Grant Ward and Melinda May are very different, but at the same time their loyalties run deep (even though they run in opposite directions) and their Specialist training gives them some similar abilities.

Agents of shield - Rewatch

1x01

The characters on this show are so well written that rewatching the pilot makes me think simultaneously about how much they grew up and how much they still are the same. They're younger and more naive and they still have to learn a few lessons maybe, but they already have those beautiful, rich and full personalities and they make me wonder if I could see their full potential when I first watched them.

You can immediately notice Fitzsimmons chemistry and genius, but there's a lot more. There already are both Fitz's heroism and his anxieties. Thinking about not being able to save Mike, a stranger, sends him in tilt. And there are Jemma's clear thinking and apparent positivity, when she calmed him down and went back to work and acted like she already knew everything would be okay... But then, when they solved everything, she run to check on Mike and she exhale like she was in apnoea the whole time and she can finally breath again. And that's something she always does. She always gives me the feeling she can't breath in some situations. And now that I noticed and I care about her, I feel like I can't breath either.

And Daisy... She was still Skye. She was so different but she was herself. She was searching her place in the world and she didn't know she had just found it. She looked at things in a simpler way but she already wanted to change the world.

May looks cold but she's our May. She told Fitz "If you're gonna be in the field, you have to get your hands dirty" and maybe the first time I heard that it sounded like she was making fun of him but now I can read other things in that sentence. And I'm not surprised at all that she developed such beautiful relationships with the bus kids.

Nothing to say about Phil. He was already defined and loud.

And he basically summed up the meaning of the whole show in the last scene:

- You said it was enough to be a man. But there's better than men. There's gods.

And the rest of us... What are we? They're giants. We're what they step on.

- I know. I've seen giants up close. And that privilege cost me... Nearly everything.

But the good ones... They're not heroes because of what they have that we don't. It's what they do with it. You're right, Mike.

It matters who you are.

- I could, you know? Be a hero.

- I'm counting on it.

And 5 season later, he will confirm those giant aren't better than the members of the team he built that day. His team.

"I've lived a life surrounded by heroes. None bigger than all of you."

I loved how Mack coming out from the shadows paralleled Coulson doing the same thing in the first episode.
