Also, gotta say HARRY DEAN STANTON!!!!!
That was just an awesome moment, in the quiet sense.

Also, gotta say
I thought that's who that was!
I'm generally aces with voices and such, but I had NO idea .
Me neither! I'll have to listen more closely.
Well, there was voice FX, right, to make him sound like whatever creepy deathmongering thing he was, wasn't there?

That was a great scene. We were speculating that it was originally going to be the Stan Lee cameo, but he couldn't actually, you know, act.

Yes, to make him sound more unintelligible than Bane.

Ha, nice.
Speaking of, can we talk about how awesome Black Widow was—well,in general, but also—in her first scene where she KICKED BACK FROM SOMEONE'S STOMACH ONTO THE FLOOR AND PROPELLED HERSELF BACK WITH HER HANDS?

The movie did right by the "normals". I loved that
both Black Widow and Hawkeye were integral to stopping the bad guys in the end.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
How did Thor know something was going down with the Tesseract? My original question was going to be "How did Thor return to Earth from Asgard, since the Bifrost was all broken?", but honestly, I'm pretty good with the handwavey answer in Loki's comment about Odin using dark forces (or whatever) to return Thor to Earth.
My real question is -- how did Thor KNOW there was a reason he needed to be on Earth? Because Thor even tells Loki that he thought Loki was dead, so he couldn't have known that Loki was up to his old shenanigans on Earth.
My best guess is that, since the Tesseract was from Asgard, when it suddenly became active again, the activity somehow was evident in Asgard, and that's what tipped Thor off that he needed to get back to Earth.
Or did I miss the actual explanation?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
No, I don't think there was an explanation, but there's always Heimdall, who "sees" stuff.

Hmm. I would have liked an explanation, or at least that the most plausible reason (that Thor was chasing Loki) be possible/consistent with the storyline (because Thor couldn't have been chasing Loki since, again, he thought Loki was dead).
That's my only real loose end that I would have liked to see picked up.
