This show is very uneven. I was bored to death with the previous episode but really enjoyed this one. The flashbacks were insightful and well done for both characters.

I'm just bored in general with this. I wish they would've moved the show into a different era.

The ratings this go-around haven't been that great, way under performing what Agents of SHIELD does in the slot. I've seen speculation that ABC plans to replace this next year with another short Marvel-related mini-show.

I'm treating this season like a mini-movie. Don't expect it back, but been enjoying it so far.

I think it would be a great idea to do Marvel mini/event series inbetween the break. The show/characters can change from year to year.

the thing that seems weird to me, is they are going into depth about dark matter stuff here, but we've not really had any exploration of that or even mention (i think) in the present day marvel stuff. i know they are using this to bridge some of the dr. strange stuff, but just seems weird to me.

So unfortunate that this is getting such low ratings. For my money Atwell/Carter is the best actor/character on TV right now. Yeah, the rest of the show could use some improvements, but there are far worse shows that get far better ratings.

Right on. It's a fun show and Atwell is easy on the eyes.

I think both Atwell and D'arcy are great on the show. Though I guess we never really will get to the origin of SHIELD at this point, will we?

The problem is that when SHIELD returns on the 8th, it's bringing two new shows with it (The Real O'Neals and Of Kings And Prophets). So Carter will either have back to back 2 hour blocks to end the season, or two of the episodes will air on a different night. ABC hasn't released the schedule yet.
Sounds like epguides.com shifted Carter by 2 weeks, and just assumed it would end two weeks later (the 15th).

Seems like the cross over to Shield could by Hydra given the logo on the pin. And possibly the monoliths and the other planet they sends people to.

Given what transpired in the first half of AoS this season, I'm positive that you are correct. I don't think they're trying to be subtle about it.
