This episode finally hooked me in, I think. I'm not 100% in love, but I keep reminding myself that Buffy's first season was shaky in parts. I still find it jarring how young Skye acts. How old is she supposed to be?
I'm also trying to be patient because, well.. this may be ME but it's not the ME from back when. How involved *is* Joss? I haven't been paying attention to the writing credits (got out of the habit) but I was assuming it's an all new writing staff since many of Joss' alums are showrunners themselves, now.
There are definitely touches of cleverness and wit. That and Coulson and May and Fitz-Simmons are enough for now. I'm willing to watch it unfold. Skye and Ward are growing on me by centimeters per episode.

YES.
Part of my issue with the show is that I really don't like Skye.
I find Coulson's concern for Skye to be kind of creepy to be honest. Like I wouldn't be surprised to find out she his secret daughter or something (or the real him, whatever). But I have high hopes for next week. Which means it'll just be a fake out, of course.
Seems like all Whedon shows must include a odd young woman who annoys the daylights out of half the audience.
Jed and/or Maurissa may have written for Spartacus, but they didn't showrun it. (If that's what P-C was saying; I was a little unclear.) And Spartacus was about the fastest-paced show I've seen in a long time.

It was and it wasn't! I wasn't sure whether they showran it or not, but it would have made my point better if they had.
I believe DeKnight was the showrunner for the whole series.
