Agents of SHIELD Season 2 Premiere Review

Note: This review contains mild spoilers for last nights episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The more that last nights hour long venture into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is thought about in my noggin, the more I realize that I really enjoyed it. It's got some shortcomings, but this particular story is such a change from many of last seasons episodes in its confidence, fun and dark story turns. The agents in Agents of SHIELD may have untold problems to face, but dealing with a lackluster episode certainly isn't one of them.

Agents Of SHIELD: 5 Things I Like, 5 Things I Want Changed (The List!!!)

Spoilers for the first season of Agents of SHIELD, as well as Captain America: The Winter Soldier follow. 

Agents of SHIELD sure was a peculiar beast last season wasn't it? It entered the 2013-2014 Fall TV season with massive amounts of hype and debuting to gargantuan ratings. But ratings soon stabilized, and it wasn't hard to see why; moderately entertaining episodes started the show off, but soon the program became boring, infuriating and just plain dumb. Thankfully, the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier helped boost some energy into the show, and the episodes that followed that movie got progressively better and better, to the point where the season finale was a fantastic creation.

Still, the second season, which debuts on ABC this Tuesday, has a lot to do to prove that that season finale was no fluke. But I also don't want to be too much of a negative Nelly. So I've compiled a list of five things I do like about the show, but five things that need improving, stat!
