I like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but this just felt whatever. They are so short, why not just join them together for a 10 minute mini episode?

I just watched all 6 episodes on Hulu in 1 sitting.
It was so silly to break it apart into 6 short episodes.
If they wanted to make a bonus web episode to focus on Elena, they should have just combined it and made it into a 15-20 minute episode.
These episodes take place prior to season 4, so I don't quite get the point of showing this missing backstory. It doesn't really add anything and is confusing for those who choose to watch it.

I have a feeling these webisodes are mostly to test fan reaction to the character. It's pretty evident SHIELD producers are wondering whether or not to add this character full time.
