It was casually mentioned in the last thread, but FYI a November sweeps episode, which is later this month, will be a continuation of the Thor: The Dark World storyline. So be warned about potential spoilers if you won't see the movie right away.

I thought tonight's episode was pretty good. Some good character development for Fitz and Simmons, an enjoyable plot (the dive was utterly predictable but well executed, IMO), and some more hints about Coulson.

Didn't like this episode. I don't like FitzSimmons, and this episode was very FitzSimmons centric. I think I was hoping for more superheroes/villains with this series. Instead, it's more about the team investigating weird events each week. I'm quickly losing my enthusiasm, but I may stick with it out of curiosity.

This is the first time I liked the two scientists. I thought they carried the episode well. I liked that there wasn't a enemy this time around. Without a villain there was more time to get to know the characters.
This is the best episode so far for me.

That Iron Man joke was so lame and forced.

I like it. It was a good episode. The show has found it's footing, and now it's just a matter of further developing the characters.
They couldn't have done this story right out of the box since you needed to know the characters in order to care at all. The show, as I suspected after the pilot, has gotten much better. It was forced in the creation stage (it wasn't created organically - Marvel and ABC wanted an Avengers spin off and they wanted it for this season so they had to make it happen by a deadline). After the pilot each week showed some growth. It's a good show now, and could get even better over the next half season.

Up until this episode, I thought FitzSimmons were brother and sister. Guess I wasn't paying that much attention to them before this. This episode felt pretty creepy until I realized that they weren't siblings.
Other than that snafu, I thought it was a very good episode.

Yeah, I enjoyed this one. The banter is gradually getting more natural and believable, unlike the early episodes where it felt like they were trying to force the humor as a shortcut to character-building.

Wait, I thought they made it clear in this episode that she has some romantic interest in him. He realized it himself when he was talking about how they had always worked in the same place together and it dawned on him that it wasn't by chance.

I have, and I've never seen a woman like that look like women with those interests look in real life. Would it hurt to portray them realistically?
I agree that this ep. was a step in the right direction. I also like that Coulson is aware that he wasn't just in some coma for a while . I am curious as to how they will explain it. I just don't see him becoming
I've noticed that in the promos for each next week's ep. they make a request to "watch it live." Since when has this become relevant since DVR gets counted in ratings?
