In fact, it took me most of the episode to convince myself that he wasn’t Tahmoh Pinikett with a weird toupee.
I thought the ep was probably the best yet. Cheesy CGI aside, I liked the story, I’m starting to warm to Skye, I chuckled out loud here and there, and the antigrav bits in the lab with Coulson and Hall were neat. Even the science and tech, while blatantly wrong, had at least an attempt at truth in there. (I was pleased, for example, when they gave the atomic number of their fictitious element, for example, and it wasn’t one that’s taken) Didn’t know Hall was an established Marvel villain, but that couldn’t have been a more perfect origin scene. (Well, with better CGI, maybe)
I like that we’re getting call-backs to the earlier episodes already (like the truth serum) and I like the character snippets we’re getting too.
It’s still not a great show, (PLEASE find a way to distinguish Fitz-Simmons other than by gender, or kill one off) but I’m still enjoying it.
