DA

For me, it's that "lol so random" quirky pretty nerd girl thing that the viewer is supposed to find oh-so-funnay that annoys me. It's why I hate Darcy as well.

Only the text from wikipedia alone makes me cringe:
" A civilian new recruit and computer hacker, described as "bubbly and goofy" but "also warm, edgy and witty." "

Naturally. What's a Joss Whedon production without his signature cutesy genius?

Oh yeah.

Original.

Because she seems to be the greatest hacker in the world ('I hacked into SHIELD with a 2nd hand laptop' or whatever she repeatedly said in the pilot), but also the super sexy love interest of the male main character ('I try to seem impressive in the presence of beautiful women' or whatever he said in the interrogation scene - I hope they don't push that pairing in the show because seriously, no chemistry there). Oh, but she's also supposed to be the everywoman that we identify with, specifically a nerdy, fangirly everywoman ('Don't tell me you're one of those sweaty cosplay types who hang around Stark Tower' 'No, never... Well, just that one time'). All that combined with Whedon's snarky dialogue - it's all too much. I don't understand her motivations. I don't find her compelling. Hell, she doesn't seem like a real character to me, and the character traits she does have annoy me.

For the record, I like May, am neutral towards Ftiz and Simmons and love Phil and Maria and hope Colbie joins permanently when she's done with HIMYM. Also, I know you could accuse the male main character of the same unconvincing characterisation as Skye, but I think you get a much better picture of his motivations, as well a hint of him having a possibly interesting back story. Plus, he played a straight man (humour wise), while Skye got all the 'witty' lines, which again made him much less irritating.

...wait, was Skye supposed to be witty? I got the impression that part of her character was that she tries to the witty but isn't, and that her lack of wit/witty dialogue was on purpose.

Will watch that show once Queen Colbie joins. No matter how much I hate the rest of the cast.

Cobie not Colbie
