I hate saying this but while the show is ok, I feel they are slowly losing me... the vibe is just different somehow. I would like the show better if they would progress the story faster and get somewhere with those damn alien writings
Actually, I am also having a problem with how blatant that Hydra is being. Remember, they are no more welcome then S.H.I.E.L.D. after the events of Captain America: The Winter Solder.
Yes, Dr. Whitehall's compnay is a Hydra front - not a problem. But, even so, the Hydra symbol should not be stamped on everything.

They are still criminals in the eyes of most Governments.
In world: maybe their relieved to not have to remain hidden, can show the world who they really are, or are excited about the opportunity to be blatant after 7 decades of being subtle.
Out of world: it helps the TV show to have a recognizable antagonist because casual viewers like to have "good guys" and "bad guys" that are relatively easy to identify. Too many "who's the good guy/bad guy again?" switcharoos week-to-week is confusing and off-putting and can lead to confusion in the presence of missed episodes. Too much subtlety or comicbookiness might turn off the general viewing audience.
Those are just some ideas off the top of my head.

Yeah, I chalk a lot of it up to TV-shorthand. Same way that even though vampires on Buffy the Vampire Slayer could appear human if they chose, all the unnamed vamps walked around looking monstrous all the time so the viewer could readily ID them as badguys.
It does get a little silly at times, though.

More like beloved whedon tropes.

yeah, they're finally making some headway and the Son of Coul has finally grown a pair
Yes, he is growing into his role as Director.
I really enjoyed the acting of Kyle MacLachlan, he is such a great actor. Now, to the point who he might be.....
IMO, the best fan theory is Maximus the Mad.

He *did* look a bit unhinged during last night's episode...

I think that is part of why the theory appeared.
But it does fit the facts.

My one concern about the Maximus the Mad theory is that the Inhumans apparently are being developed as a theatrical movie, so I don't think they would be introduced in AoS.
on Io9, there was lots of speculation that he might be this guy, which would mean Skye would actually be this superhero
Some people also posited her and her father might be associated with the Deviants, which might explain the rumors of Skye's village being destroyed by "monsters".

Wow thanks this fits almost perfectly. Almost... if they tie this together with the inhumans (making her and her father inhumans) then I would hate to be in the city when Skye is subjected to the Terrigen mist.

I'm willing to bet that Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch will be recast as Inhumans in Avengers 2.
That's my favorite theory so far, as Lord Fyre posted above... since the MCU cannot utter the word "mutant" anymore, they probably can still say "genetically modified human" or "half-alien" at first, but as the story will move forward, classify them as "inhuman"

That's funny, because I don't find Ming-Na Wen attractive at all. She's just sort of "meh" to me.

Didn't Winter Soldier reveal that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are the result of experimentation with the unspecified infinity gem in Loki's staff? granted I suppose that could "activate" the inhuman genes...

Further proof that MCU may be embracing inhumans:
New Inhuman Comic
"The Inhumans have seen in increased profile at Marvel lately, following the detonation of the Terrigen Bomb at the end of Infinity, which has seen the Inhumans numbers grow and spread. There have been many rumors that Marvel Studios may be planning an Inhumans film."

That was my understanding as well, MMCJawa. Which isn't to say they can't be Inhumans, but it'd be weird to introduce them as unaugmented Inhumans without introducing the MCU equivalent of the Terrigen Mists. Though if they want to use Inhuman instead of mutant, that'd probably the easiest way. Heck, they're already using the word "gifted" as a placeholder. Just slot in the word "Inhuman," and you're good to go.

The Terrigen Mists are weird as heck. I don't truly understand their origin and how they work to be honest, and I've been in comics for a while. All I know (I think) is that the Inhumans were a Kree experiment to begin with, so if the MCU somehow links them to the Kree without the darn "mists" I'll be fine.

Lord Fyre, I presume that
So, I'm assuming they're tracking him.
It will be interesting to see how the bad guys align against Our Team.
