But yes, it's gone from being something I might watch to something I actively look forward to watching on Wednesdays now. Shame next week is the season finale! Hopefully it gets renewed, and all the signs are pointing towards that. I think it picked up after Thor to be honest. I can't see Ward coming back from it. I did think it might have been a play to get Garrett and the people above him, but after the origin story story, the only way I can see that working is if Fury planted him all that time ago, which I doubt. As for Skye, we know she's a 084 before, it's just what species. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some connection to the next Avengers film, which will flow over to the next series.
