Hydra was in place from the start of AoS simply under a pseudonym before the Winter Solider reveal. Why can't Skye and dad be aliens who's real origins aren't explored until the Inhuman movie?

The team will think Skyedad is Asguardian (maybe Kree), and he won't tell them they're wrong. They might think Skye is half-Asguardian (-Kree). They'll discover later that they're Inhumans.

Actually, that's exactly why Centipede and the Clairvoyant didn't work as antagonists for most of S1 - there was so little revealed about them, largely in an effort to protect the sanctity of the HYDRA reveal, that it was all but impossible to give a gently caress.

What you suggest sounds like a great idea if your favorite part of the show is Raina cryptically hinting at things. If you value narrative momentum, not so much.

Believe what you want, Inhumans on this show are not happening until/unless they're introduced in the films (which Feige did hint could happen earlier than 2018, to be fair). You will probably start to see some TV->film integration, as opposed to just the reverse, beginning with AOU, but that's unlikely to ever be anything more than relatively small cameos or Easter eggs.

SHIELD is a companion series to the film canon, not an integral storytelling engine for it, and it's best to accept that.

Your going to have to decide what you're saying. First post you say inhumans aren't going to be introduced until the movie, next you agree they could be in the series but would be bad for the plot. Which is it?

There isn't any contradiction between thinking something is a bad idea and being all but certain it won't happen.

Well, he suspects it but he isn't 100% sure, and he's gotten crazy funding on the assumption that Shield is evil as hell.

Also, pretty hard to stand up to a Senator, they get away with ridiculous use of power in real life, much less the show.
