So, yah, this second episode definitely fell into that sour spot I was talking about. It wasn't bad, exactly, but it wasn't all that good either. If it didn't have the Marvel Filmverse brand attached, I wouldn't be watching it, and that makes Agent Coulson sad.
Case of the week isn't a horrible format, but the cases have to actually be interesting. Why do I care about some vaguely described Hydra weapon or whatever?
And also, Bort is totally right about Coulson being a horrible team leader. It bugged me last week when he was all "It's your fault if you can't do this impossible thing!" and it's not getting any better. Share. Information. Dude.
I did like the...
...double agent twist, even if I'm pretty sure I won't like where it ends up. I hated the easy way that the NSA stand-in co-opted the Anonymous stand-in last time, so it was nice to see that she's not just playing their game.
