I don't think I have previous reviews of these eps on my journals. And I can't find 1.01 on this computer, so we're going in without the first episode.
I find that listening helps with getting the 'voices' of the characters right.
1.02 - 0-8-4
I think Jemma's going to be the most difficult one for me to write. Not in enthusiasm, just in the language she uses.
Camilla Reyes: possible recurring?
...ooh, thought: USE OF RAINA.
1.03 - The Asset
Defining moments and muscle memory. In the light of Ward's allegiances and his instincts, it's interesting to note the way true!Ward leans into abusive relationships, while surface!Ward knows healthy but fakes it pretty well.
Ward: a backstory - make it as close to reality as possible. It's easier to remember. Mass, mostly.
May first voices her reluctance to get involved: calculation - she's capable of playing a long game to deceive (what she says to Coulson many eps later about it being *her* team).
Skye: a proper southern girl y'all moving too fast... Skye is a very good liar when she wants to be charming. She doesn't really need to learn to keep it close to truth; she's good enough to keep it. Mirrors - her life, her search for a family: she landed in gravy and flowers. He got Garrett, who perpetuated the abuse relationships of Garrett.
SHIELD according to "no family" - prey on fear, lonelineness and desperation and offer a home to those with no-one else to turn to. (But it really does become a home for some - it's not a lie for everyone.)
Also: the fight sound effects are so fake when they're the only thing you're hearing.
1.04 - Eye Spy
Lots of throwbacks.
Melinda doesn't know Akela Amador. "Only a few women in the world could pull off something so impossible." "Smart, talented, and fearless; didn't play well with others, little value in teamwork."
Ward: "betrayed by someone you trained, believed in" Superspy is ticklish.
We protect our own. Skye has a lot of faith in Coulson.
Akela and trusting her team. A clinic, multiple surgeries - HYDRA/Centipede. Learning stuff from the way her handler talks and types.
1.05 - Girl in the Flower Dress
Raina seeking something greater - magic, a gift, a greater thing.
Miles: an old contact (he's not just cut loose)
Jemma's reasonably cluey about the nature of relationships. They're Skye's friends, but Miles is more. And "You missed a button," even when they're taking Skye away.
Centipede: the serum increases strength of cyto-skeleton: wears off. Volatility in the serum has been neutralised. Chan's genetics stables the extremis element in the serum, keeping the individual from combusting. (Centipede is Garrett's baby, though, not so much HYDRA - an off-shoot. After Phil and co. take Garrett and Centipede out, there'll be something to fill the gap of course.)
I'm gonna have to watch up on Centipede, aren't I? Bugger. That thing is damn well woven into the fabric of S1.
"So you could find what you're looking for." But she's looking for family - she thinks it's her blood family, but really it's her soul family.
