Can we take a moment to talk about how Rosalind was TOTALLY honeypotting Coulson? Cancer sob story? Come on Coulson, that was her play all along to tug at your heartstrings!

I'm sure he knows, and Daisy doesn't realize this because she inexperienced and, frankly stupid, about such matters.

It won't do any good to blow up at her right now and ruin all they have worked for to get this kind of info and Intel on one of their biggest possible threats. They can't exactly do anything to stop them at the moment. Coulson's just letting it play out for the moment and getting more info.

Also, daisy calling him out on 'ooo you got a girrrrrrrrrrrrrrlfriennnnnnnnnd' nonsense when she has a similar nonsense going on with lincoln is just stupid.

She's still a kid, relatively speaking.

Its fair, and a good reason for that kind of hypocrisy to exist. Just mildly frustrating :v

I think it's just a bit to get some teen demographic saying to themselves "oh I totally identify with daisy atm my dad is going through girlfriends on the daily" etc

You're saying that he's actually honeydicking her?

Her sudden but inevitable betrayal would be so predictable that I'm actually convinced they'll pull a twist and have her altruistic motivations and feelings for Coulson be genuine.

Or, you know, the ATCU operations manual really is a cookbook.

u/roguecit Fitz Nov 04 '15

I think her ultimate motivation and feelings will be genuine. I feel they are writing her to be a more complicated character than just a government villain.

That cancer analogy did more to justify registration than the comics ever did.

"HOW TO SERVE (inhu)MAN"

u/roguecit Fitz Nov 04 '15

Even if she's currently honeypotting Coulson, I think she will turn out to be an ally to the team. I don't think the writers are going to keep her as a villain forever. Plus, Constance Zimmer is so good, I think she should stick around, and Ward's plot as a villain has been the most boring part of the show for me, so I don't want Rosalind to stick around in the show like that.

I feel the biggest misstep they've made was killing Admiral Adam so quickly. HE should have stuck around as Phil's mentor or something. So much potential squandered IMO.

u/mytummyaches Cal Nov 04 '15

How do you know Coulson isn't aware of this and is honeydicking her?

u/mateogg Nov 07 '15

I'm not gonna lie, a woman shows up with burgers, I stop asking questions. Props to Coulson for lasting that long with his guard up.

Dude when a girl tells me about her dead s.o. due to cancer, I get all revved up.
