Is anyone else feeling like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is slow to gel?

( I want to believe. (spoilers) )

Ah well. I'll definitely keep watching. Joss's shows famously need a little time get on their feet.

Actually better than the teaser/trailers. Lots of good Jossy lines. The big black airplane ("People tend to confuse the words 'new' and 'improved'") reminds me an awful lot of Serenity, with its drop ramp, cavernous interior, and dangerous side-engines. The set, like so many of Joss's key sets, has two real stories (get it?) and lots of room to move (remember the Hyperion? The Dollhouse? Wolfram and Hart?). I saw one tweet deriding the camera work, but I found the first episode visually appealing, and I'm so happy to let the Joss-isms wash over me.

( Some spoilery squee )

And in conclusion: Yes! Good show! I'll be back for more.
