I'm pretty sure that they forgot most of the sub-plot they created at the start of the season in favor for the Hydra tie-in with Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

It just feels like they're doing twist and turns just for the sake of twists and turns.

Which sub-plot was that again? Skye's a mutant, her parents are mutants, Ward is Hydra, Project: Centipede is Hydra, Cybertek is Hydra, the newly-forming Shield under Coulson is pure but the old one Fury ran turned out to be Hydra, Garret is Hydra, Jasper Sitwell is Hydra, Peterson is Deathlok, Graviton has yet to reappear as Graviton, Raina knows Skye's father, Scorch is dead...what am I missing? Yes, the brief sexual affair between Ward and May turned out to have been completely pointless. What I'd like to know is whatever happened to Skye's one boyfriend from the Rising Tide. Does he still have a tether on his wrist? How has the downfall of Shield affected him? Will he and Skye get back together? Will he ever be plot-relevant again?

And I know what it's like to be in a show where the plot twists are lame and pointless. I was in Blood Over Water. The only two true plot twists in the entire show were ones the audience could see coming from a mile away. And the ending had little real impact.
