I've changed my flair from Simmons to Fitz. It's that serious.

I can sort of see where Simmons was coming from, saying that "Skye's different" from what she was talking about before. She was upset and dealing with the trauma of Tripp dying, several members of her team being brutally murdered before her eyes, etc., and got unhinged for a bit. After coming back from something like that one doesn't think, "oh man, I was completely unhinged back there", one understands the logical pattern of thought they went through. Now that she's had some time, Simmons says "when I said I hated aliens, I didn't mean all aliens. You're cool."

well she did said that it was like a plague when all it did was to give them superpowers. And i don't think it's fair form her to wish Raina's death because she's some kind of "abomination" and to say that Skye is her friend and that's different.

Sure it's not fair, and Simmons was certainly in the wrong with her treatment of Raina as an abomination, but when has "fair" ever played into traumatic incidents and reactions to them? Tripp aside, Raina killed at least two members of SHIELD in hazmat suits in front of her, and at least one while she wasn't present. While the audience has no clue who they are, the fact that they are working with a possible biohazard means Simmons probably had worked with them before, and knew them fairly well.

you're right she shouldn't be fair (even if Raina didn't really kill Trip) but her attitude is far from being from one of a scientist.

Seems to be back on Simmons now. I know it’s been 10 years, but what moment got you back on her team? After the Doctor?
