I enjoyed the season. It definitely picked up steam as it went along.
I am in for another year.

It definitely got substantially better as the season went on. It's not my favorite (primarily watching as it's one of the few shows we watch as a family) but it's night and day better than what it was

The first half the season was very episodic, with largely self-contained episodes and only "mythology" elements sprinkled in here and there and in the last scene. Once the story arcs got more serialized in the second half of the season, the show got better. But when you do that, you lose the casual viewer and only get the hardcore fans.
I'm with SI, I do think they are still playing it a bit safe. The HYDRA storyline was great, but I think there is still a lot of materials from the comics than can use without compromising the movies. This show was always intended to be in the background without any Avengers, but that doesn't mean it has to be NCIS: SHIELD. |

I really need to get caught up on this show.

I thought the second season has been solid so far. I really think last year was hurt by the fact that they had to wait for the HYDRA reveal in Captain America. I don't think they'll have too many problems with that this year since it seems like the season will end right before the Avengers movie.

Well that was a pretty intense episode-setting up the Inhumans vs Humanity war for next season. Like how Coulson is almost looking like a bad guy now. Glad Gonzales got what he deserved. Could be a lot of cast changeover next season as everybody's loyalties pull them further and further apart from each other.

Last night's character-centric episode was nothing short of amazing.

I agree! It was a really great episode.
This whole season, so far, has been pretty great.

It was an amazing episode, but it had me in a monkey-flinging-poo state by the end of it.

Loved the off-world episode as well as the Garner/Lash reveal and the season as a whole BUT: Why do writers need so much stupidity in their characters nowadays ? How in the world do you let that stupid-face Lincoln (seriously, worst character on the show by a wide margin) get anywhere near him ? It makes absolutely no freaking sense for anybody involved. Yeah, so it worked out in the end and all, but that contrived bs makes me angry ...

I wasn't too upset about that, but I do wholeheartedly agree that Lincoln is the worst character on the show by a wide margin. I hate it whenever he shows up. He's terrible.

I really think the show has found its stride in dealing with the inhumans. I think it's a lot easier to make you care about them because you get to understand the people and issues. Wherein a movie they would need to be glossed over.

I dunno. We care about Skye and Garner because we knew them before, other than that they did not play much of a role recently and get "sprung on us" when they do (like that cloning-chick) or they are called Lincoln. Not that i mind exactly, just don´t fell they played much of a role at all this season so far on an individual level (or in general. For all the talk about joining forces between Shield and ACwhatever and having an epidemic, they were pretty much off-screen background noise since like episode 2 or 3)

I hear you. I agree the inhumans haven't played much of a role on an individual level (which I'd like to see more of), but they certainly are the backdrop of then world. Without them, the ACU, obelisk, etc. don't mean much. I just think that it's been a more interesting world on screen than Hydra. |

Last night's episode continued the strong run for the season so far.
They've done a really great job tying in the three major plot threads by linking them all to the portal. I think Ward has to be one of the most interesting characters on TV. At first, he was so bland and boring, the stereotypical action hero guy. But once the big reveal happened, it all made sense, since he was just playing a role, and since then he's been a fantastic villain. Really enjoying this season. Also, I cant wait for the Peggy Carter show. I loved the first one.

Not sure if anyone is still watching this, but I just binge-watched Season 4. It's gotta be their best season yet. Pretty cool bringing in a popular Marvel character like Ghost Rider, but the second half really took off with the matrix-like alternative reality.

Still one of my faves. I'm interested to see where they wind up with the new inhumans show. I'm pretty glad they decided to reanimate Clark Gregg's character in the show because he, and whoever the actress playing Daisy is, really carry the show. |

I still watch it. I enjoyed this season. They did a really great job with the show.
I agree about Daisy/Skye. I wasn't sold on her at all early on, but she's been fantastic.

Season 4 was my favorite - wasn't sure that I was going to like the Ghost Rider angle, but it was fun and the way they brought him back in the end was great too.
I do hope they are able to bring back Bobby and Hunter at some point - the spin-off they were supposed to end up on isn't happening and I enjoyed their characters.
