Fun episode. Liked the addition of a 'superhero' story. I'm OK with them doing this from time to time.
Wouldn't mind seeing more half naked Skye either

The only problem with this is the fire guy clothes didn't burn up. I wanted to see a naked man on fire.

I DVR'd up to this point. Last night my cable box wouldn't let me change channels or lose recordings so I watched this. Obviously 4 episodes in and I was a little confused as to who was who. Not bad but not great. I'll have to catch up to give it a real chance.

As I suspected, the show is starting to find it's footing. The writers & producers needed a little time to get the tone right and to find the characters, from there plotting gets a little easier.

Last night's episode may have been the best yet. That's not saying a whole lot, but after the pilot the rest of the episodes have been pretty good.

The show has a ton of potential.

Skye in bra and panties. That's really all there is to know in this episode.
Oh, and some stuff happens with a pyrokinetic.

Hmm. I guess there's no reason to watch this show then. I can find the pertinent footage online.

Actually the show was pretty good. I was surprised that at 8pm on ABC they'd show someone immolated like that. Those were a few gruesome deaths right there.

Not a bad episode. It was nice linking back with Centipede and Extremis, the effects of burning up the scientist were pretty cool to see on network TV, and I liked that we got to what Skye is looking for. Plus bra and panties.

Once again, I loved the show.

Much more drama than the previous shows.

Has Skye been the center of most of the shows? The actress has been showing some good emotional range.

The special effect budget for this show had to be the largest so far, even the "Flying Bus" looked tons better and then fire scene looked really good...I was surprised.

I hope the series last for 7 years and in the last scene of the series finale we find out that the entire thing was in Coulson's mind during the seconds between Loki stabbing him and him actually dying.

The problem I have with them saying he was stabbed in the heart, is almost immediately after Loki would have pulled out the spear, Coulson would have dieded. Not talk and then pull the trigger of a super cool weapon.

I really, really liked last week's episode. This one, not so much.

It was better than the first 3, but still kind of mediocre all about. These characters are just so one-dimensional and dismally uninteresting. The story was serviceable at best. I'm a little disappointed by the quality. Was hoping for more of an upswing.

The elevator death scene... that was pretty cool though. But they really need to overhaul this cast.

Looks like they're finally developing a big bad.

Me too. Or not kill him off so that he appears again later.

I wonder how many women wake up after sex still wearing their underwear?

Maybe he's really an android and will turn out to be the Vision. Or he's a clone or something. They need something to dangle to keep people hanging on until the end of the season.

Lots of movies and TV shows are guilty of this, but I don't see it here. She was pulling up her bra strap when they first went to the scene. They had obviously already finished, and she was getting dressed.
