It's been renewed. :)
I've been enjoying (evil) Ward these past few weeks a lot so I hope he'll still be around in S2. I actually do want him to be redeemed and back in the team but I'm not sure how likely that is. It definitely should not be rushed. I suppose we will know the writers' plan once we find out who shot the dog. :P
Skye has been showing some skill on screen lately instead of everbody telling us how great she is which is nice. I expect her 084-ness to be the plot of early S2.
Fitz and Simmons haven't really been getting a lot to do except for the little love triangle. I would prefer them getting their separate story lines. Fitz has his freak-outs about Ward. And Simmons…had FZZT? Not a whole lot.
May is still fun and she's been smiling a couple times too. Coulson I still don't know about. I was going to say that his TAHITI issues had finally been resolved but those are probably just starting. May and Coulson's relationship is now probably stronger than ever so that's nice at least.
Triplett has gotten a little time to become a character and it's okay so far. Maria Hill will hopefully return in S2. Oh, whatever happened to the Ron Glass doctor from the pilot? He better survived the whole HYDRA thing.
One episode to go.
