Ugh... disappointed.

He looks like
a reject from Mass Effect. They took literally no inspiration from the comics.

He's probably going to get half blown up again, and that's what allows him to switch sides. But it also means he will need more metal and cybernetics so that's probably when they will complete his look. I'm assuming they don't want to show that metal leg too often because of budgets and deadlines, and it's only going to be harder with metal arms and half his face too.

The face mask I understand will probably come later, but I doubt they're going to fabricate a second costume for him. That seems like a needless budgetary expense if you can just "get it right" the first time.... but then again, they had an FX shot of the Bus doing a 180 in the air sooo they're not exactly the most prudent in their expenses.

Synopsis for "Turn Turn Turn"

Dammit, May.

Funny that some people are speculating that Scarlett Johansson will appear, due to her line of dialogue in The Avengers.

Get her off the show please!

Not that she has not had a few good scenes throughout the series, but they have no idea what to do with her, and between Coulson, Ward, and May, it is try hard city.

If May is actually evil and not merely keeping tabs on Coulson for what she believes to be his own good, I'd be surprised.

On further consideration... would this even make any sense? If her assignment is to keep Coulson from finding out the truth about his resurrection, she's done a pretty terrible job of it.

It's likely just to keep tabs on him for just this kind of situation. One where he finds out but doesn't notify SHIELD.

After the past three episodes or so I feel like bullshit and straw were the two main ingredients of the first half of the season.

It could have suffered from what a lot of other shows suffer from because execs are too afraid to let things start off too quickly. Agents of SHIELD is a new tv show and they probably wanted to give people time to find the show, so the first episodes are more of a "weekly villain" thing with the least amount of character/overarching story development possible just so that people who aren't tuning in from the first episode forward can still hop on a few episodes in and not be completely lost as to what is happening.

Yes, it's somewhat dumb, but sometimes it just happens. It happened to Dollhouse as well and I'm not sure if it was forced or not, but Fringe & Supernatural began that way too (they had somewhat boring/standard "weekly case" episodes in the beginning, even the whole first season, with only some hints of something bigger looming in the horizon). The way it was, the original pilot of Dollhouse started things off very quickly with a no BS attitude and less of the dolls just doing some basic assignements. But then some stupid higher-ups decided it would be too much in too little time & they wanted to have an "ease in" period where nothing too major could happen and made Whedon spread what originally happened in that pilot into several episodes and not have any too major story development early on. Whedon tried to make the best of it (i.e. make "weekly assignement" episodes with at least some neat twist/idea behind it), but it still screwed up the pacing & quality of the first few episodes.

Same thing happened to Hannibal. It's 100% studio interference trying to make a show a CSI-esque procedural.

The problem with SHIELD went deeper than that though- they literally seemed to not know what genre the show was at first and went in a terrible direction (Saturday Action Show) that's been course corrected into the spy territory it should have been in the first place.

Not posting any spoilers here, but I've read the general gist of where things stand with SHIELD at the end of TWS, and I'm realllllllly curious to see how the show handles it. Especially since it'll have to catch up at least 4-5 episodes before the end of the season.

Yep. I'm not sure how the show is going to handle such directly SHIELD-related fallout in only a few episodes.

I thought the same thing, like someone who runs with Kano.

It'll probably be them running off and becoming rogue until AoU is over and then becoming an extension of The Avengers or a new SHIELD with Maria Hill on top.

I don't exactly hate the costume, but Deathlok looks like he walked straight off the set of Smallville.
