I know it's Joss Whedon and he's not really that much into the cliche but on the Ward & Sky part I'm really getting the impression that it's going to be the big predictable hook up with them. Ward totally finds her attractive which is why he isn't as much rude & condecending to her & agreed so quickly to be her supervisor. So i'm thinking its gonna be the predictable mutual attraction builds between them with the cliche sexual tension & eventual hook up. And i don't think Coulson really has a crush on her i think its more like he sees her as a daughter. I actually wouldn't be surprised if there's a big 'surprise" reveal at some point that she actually is his daughter and that's why he's bringing her onto the team even though he knows she's a risky.

I'm a bit underwelmed too but not sure if its the show itself or if my hopes were just so high that it couldnt live up. We'l see (:
