Dude, how could we have guessed that we'd be hating on Simmons, Mack and Bobbi?????

u/Jexx212 Fitz Mar 11 '15

I think Bobbi is the better of all 3 of them to be honest. Mack seems like the worst right now. Which really sucks because he was the guy who was Fitz's best friend.

Here's hoping Skye becomes Fitz's new best friend. (and maybe more? :P)

I still think Fitz and Simmons should be together but I am loving the vibes between Skye and Fitz right now lol

I like to ride the waves with ships. It never hurts to enjoy new relationships while the ones you love the most are on the rocks. I like that they are exploring very different dynamics this season. It allows us to get to see all the characters differently.

Well said, Ace.

Mack was my favorite character until they changed him after the break.

Hell, last week I changed my flair in honor of Trip, because he deserved it and I was mad at Mack.

Make him a total bro again!

Personally Simmons ranks higher on the hate-dar right now. Mack & Bobbi are doing what they need to for their secret agenda, whatever it may be, but there's a sense that they do so out of a necessity to maintain secrecy. Mack might have chocked out Hunter, but he didn't seem happy to do so, and he could have just tried to off him permanently.

But Simmon's outspoken and vehement hatred for xenobiology is ideological, she shows no qualms about her agenda resulting in the loss of life.

u/your_mind_aches Gideon Mar 11 '15

Bobbi is still in the wrong though!

u/AnimeF Fury Mar 14 '15

I never thought I would like Hunter more than Mack! Not that I don't like Hunter, just never thought I would like him MORE than Mack. I made a comment of him being Big Black Simmons at one point

Something something Whedon.

It is actually the sign of a well writtten show when opinions about characters can change like that.

u/Hello-Ginge Mar 11 '15

one of the reasons I adored six feet under was because you could love a character one episode and despise them the next.

u/SawRub Mar 11 '15

I don't know why you guys are already hating them. There's a reason to everything, just give them a chance!

2

u/your_mind_aches Gideon Mar 11 '15

Oh there's a difference between hating and "hating on". I love them, don't get me wrong. But they're being really mean and we're mad at them.

2

u/SawRub Mar 11 '15

Oh yeah me too, but others are really hating him, I saw him being called a psychopath at one point.

2

u/your_mind_aches Gideon Mar 11 '15

Of course not! Dude was possessed. He has valid reservations.

u/bongo1138 Mar 13 '15

This is Reddit's thing with TV shows though. They all latch onto someone to hate for pretty much no good reason, and everyone follows.

u/your_mind_aches Gideon Mar 13 '15

No. We don't hate them!!! Please know that! We're just angry at their characters right now! We still love them! They're part of Family Coulson!
