Also, last night was perhaps the clearest explanation we've had to date of what Coulson sees in Skye. It isn't (just) her 1337 hax0r skillz, or her highly empathic personallity, or even that he somehow thought she was a latent gifted.
It's that she "sees the world in a different way" from others, and thus is able to expertly analyze data to find "patterns" and "exploits". That ring any bells for comic veterans?
It reminds me of Sylar from "Heroes"
