Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Seeds Review

In this week's Seeds episode the team goes back to the Academy where it all began. The Academy or S.H.I.E.L.D. Hogwarts as I like to call it, was experiencing some weird occurrences when an indoor pool started to freeze over. What we thought at first was one student trying to get ahead in the force turned into something more:

• My heart continues to break for Coulson as he continues to analyze his own photos of his dead body. And when the promo revisited last week's episode I felt like screaming "COULSON YOU WILL BE AVENGED." Like Cobie Smulders in the Avengers gag reel. On one hand you want Coulson to get over this soon but then you can't really imagine what it would be like finding out you for one thing were dead, and wanted to die AND that you "family" changed who you once were.
  
  
• Getting an insight on the Academy was on of my favourite things this week. Seeing where FitzSimmons and Ward came from. Learning that there was kind of a rivalry between the Sciences and Operations and in this case Science prevailed. FitzSimmons were the cool kids on the block and everyone wanted to be like them. For one student maybe too much.
  
  
• What was originally thought as an attack on one student to get ahead in the force and move into the field in the Sandbox, turned into two students creating an idea for trade. Donnie was manipulated and in turn lured and manipulated Fitz into fixing his idea causing a massive super storm. Which in my opinion was super cool, the storm; not the manipulation. Donnie was playing on selling his invention to Quinn who returns to make every thing miserable again.
  
  
• On the other side of the spectrum and really the meaty stuff of this episode  and season was finding out that Skye was an 084. Coulson and May found someone who used to protect Skye and he told them that she has powers; and that death follows. We all originally thought she was given up and unwanted. But it turns out people were murdered trying to protect her. I'm intrigued to find out what will happen now that Skye knows the truth. And I am curious to know what her powers entail, because other than her gifts of hacking she has yet to discover who she truly is.
  
  
• I thought Chloe Bennett nailed the scene between Coulson and Skye and the discovery. Between her tears and the voice over I was in tears. I hope that nobody on the team dies because of her, but in the hands of the Whedon's it won't be over looked.
  
  
• The ending got me a little bit for two reasons: one Donnie turned into like an iceman due to the kick back of his device. And Quinn talking with Coulson saying the clairvoyant says hi. I need to know who the mysterious and elusive clairvoyant is.
