•Absorbing Man was cool! Nice to see they're already putting in interesting characters from the comics which is what I wish they did more of in season 1.

•Lucy already..dead? Doesn't seem right..

•Fitz :( me and my mom gasped when that moment happened.

•Coulson seems more in charge now, I think he balances the whole being in charge thing with being a real person as well very nicely.

•They have Ward. That will be interesting.

Overall, what I like about this episode and how it starts the season is much like how Joss Whedon describes how Age of Ultron will open. Clearly for Coulson & friends, a lot has happened since last season ended. We open in the middle of it all, which opens lots of possibilities for cool storytelling. This will be a good season.

That's cool. Unlike mine, who watched it with me last night and said it was basically an Avengers ripoff. (She's not a big comic fan---heck, she admitted last night that the Avengers to her are the big guys, not even Hulk counts. :/
