re: #179 lawhawk

I like the episode because we saw more character development than to date. Getting a vested interest in some of the characters, and Coulson’s coming to terms with what was done to him.

Especially liked the Bill Paxon cameo, and that he played against the type from True Lies, where he was a scammer playing a spy. Here, he was the spy/agent with the mad skills. I’d love to see him as a feature/regular on the show, particularly since we know he’s also going after the Clairvoyant (who I’m guessing isn’t a human, but some alien force/creature trying to manipulate those around them).

Also looking forward to Sif’s arrival…

Agreed.

Paxton pretty much rocked, but the characterizaion in his very first scenes was… a little flabby? (Nitpicks, nitpicks.)

Also, re: the Clairvoyant. Part of me really wants him/it to be M.O.D.O.K.

AoS is very much in the Firefly-type build-up… enough early eps with “one cool thing enough per episode” to keep me watching the next ep until I got invested.
