I also have the nasty feeling that the direction and music is playing up to "violent is sexy" aspects of the storyline and that's really nasty. Even if the actors are doing a lot with the work, it's nasty.
I also wonder how much of that has to do with the essential 'Kalinda is sexy and everything she does is sexy' thing that the writers have pushed from day one. That's why Kalinda's scenes with Blake were so uncomfortable, and yes, nasty, and that's why this feels nasty, even though they're trying to handle it in a nuanced, complex fashion. The writers also like to push limits of network television with their sex scenes, which isn't helping their cause here. (If spoilers are anything to go by, they aren't planning on stopping anytime soon, either.)
OMG how is there not a Warehouse 13/Avengers crossover via SHIELD? Mrs F would have Nick Fury saying "Yes Ma'am," in five seconds flat.
I know, right? Can you IMAGINE Fury's horror at discovering that the new thingummy that he was planning to use for ~the greater good now belongs to Mrs F, and also, she's contemplating hiring some of his agents as they speak?
