I agree that the show felt more settled around itself.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I agree that I'd be more interested if the show included Mr. Truck Driver Agent Man on a regular basis.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So apparently Graviton is a pre-existing character.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The goddamn official Twitter feed spoiled me for the end by Tweeting "All villains have an #Origin story" before the episode even aired, so I figured Hall would become Mr. Gravitonium or whatever we're going to call him. But that will be fun.
SHIELD had been promoting this as Graviton's origin story on facebook earlier in the week as well. I don't think it was meant be a shocker for Marvel readers (which is not me, I looked Graviton up earlier in the week when I saw the facebook post) once they named the character as Dr Hall.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ah, I didn't realize he was from the comics!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Graviton in the comics had better sartorial taste.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Graviton in the comics had better sartorial taste.
Better facial hair, too.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Very cool, the whole Graviton thing. I had no idea. I just enjoyed it for the Coulson bad assery and the pretty visuals.
I liked this episode more than last week for sure. I wonder if Pretty Boy villain will be back this season. He was kind of fun. Still not loving Ward, although I like him more when he's not interacting with Skye. I just don't buy them together at all. I would like some more back story on Fitz/Simmons. I'm still enjoying their act, but I do think it will get tired if we don't learn more about what their whole deal is.
Coulson could be a robot, but I'm still sticking with came back Monkey Paw wrong because I like typing about monkeys.
May still rocks the party all night long.
I'm finding SHIELD to be pleasant, kinda throw away entertainment. I've enjoyed each episode so far, but it certainly hasn't moved me to have a lot to say about it, other than "I like him. Don't like her. Coulson's a badass."

Was Coulson bleeding after his fight with Hall?
I like that he and Ward acknowledge that Skye is not completely trustworthy.
Did the label that Agent Whozit pulled off the vault door say anything other than some sort of number?

You know what would be cool -- if Coulson's resurrection really did involve Tahiti and some Tiki gods.
