You may all know by now that Sif is going be on episode 15 of AoS. According to reports her mission is to bring back another Asgardian, Lorelei. Lorelei is suppose to have a thing for Thor, but it's not clear that's the reason she's there. They gave a preview of the Sif/Lorelei fight at a critics' meeting, where Lorelei throws Thor in Sif's face. That's when the fight really gets ugly. It confirms my suspicions about Sif's deathglare at Jane in Thor: The Dark World. (Spoilers)  Sif only helped Thor get Jane out of prison and off Asgard to eliminate the competition; and her bitter attitude in the first mid-credit scene is because it didn't work. Thor abdicated and went to Earth to be with Jane.

I think the AoS episode is a set up for Sif to play a bigger role in MCU. But this asks the question - is AoS going to deal with the state of affairs on Asgard? (Spoiler) Loki was posing as Odin after Thor left. (I vote regicide for Loki's acsension; I wouldn't put it pass him.)  Is the deception still going on because Sif is under orders to come to Earth to get Lorelei; and Loki is presumed dead (again). If they are going to link MCU to MTU (Marvel TV Universe byway of AoS) continuity is key.
