I enjoyed the hell out of it, but I really didn't like that we didn't get a final closeup of not!Gunn as he was reunited with his family. Left a bad taste in my mouth. And how much does Agent Lone Wolf remind you of Brolin in MiB3?
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Whedonesque reports Agents of SHIELD opened big, this fall's biggest drama, with 11.9 mil. That's good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sorry, Debet, I meant my response to be lighter than it ended up sounding.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I actually like the fact that Agent Lone Wolf has horrible people skills, rather than being a suave James Bond type (attractive, fit, can defuse a nuclear bomb, good punching skills, AND great people skills).
And I'm looking forward to more Melinda May. She's a stone badass.

I found the Back to the Future car thing annoying. It felt like "see the cool effect we'll never use again because our budget won't allow it!"

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
It didn't help that the opening credits for the show immediately following showed the actual Back to the Future flying car.

Plot question: Skye is/was apparently working with this Rising Tide group. Or is she the Rising Tide group all on her own? Those people that jumped Ward in the Parisian apartment, were they part of Rising Tide? And kudos to the blonde woman in the apartment who, upon seeing the plot falling apart, calmly got dressed and and walked out of there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I actually like the fact that Agent Lone Wolf has horrible people skills, rather than being a suave James Bond type
I was annoyed by the fact that his poop-with-a-knife-sticking-out-of-it people skills are so stereotypically made-for-tv charming. It's not like the truth serum unlocked a string of inappropriate catcalls or racial slurs, he's just what, slightly awkward and better with machines than people? Oh noes, however will he be able to relate to a hacker who lives in her van?!

I was annoyed that Ward has apparently missed the probably training on how to resist truth serum--don't volunteer anything, say as little of the truth as possible. It's truth serum, not "Babble like Tony Stark with no filters" serum.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's technomagic truth serum. It's totally within scope for it not to follow any rules of sodium pentathol etc. right from the first moment they declared it didn't follow a rule of it.
