    Yeah, I gave up. I'm not even intrigued anymore.

    I'm wondering about expectations here. This is exactly what I expected it to be in every way.

    The latest one also looked less cheap than the previous ones.
    The whole Belarus segment was ridiculous as expected. The gibberish Russian signs were priceless.
    I get why they're going for less known and used locations, but come on.

    Not sure it matters? Whether I expected it to be mediocre or not, it is still mediocre.

    It felt more like Chuck to me.
    Good call. Chuck was a pretty good show in its first few seasons, before it went really broad.

    Here's hoping Adam Baldwin shows up on SHIELD. Anything to inject a little life into it.

    I'm saying - what CAN it be? As much as it's freed by spinning off a successful franchise/film, it's even more hampered by it.

    It's only improving by small increments, but it's still early. The scene alluding to the NSA stuff felt really half baked.

    You know what, I'm just going to come out and say it. This show is crap. I've tried giving it the benefit of the doubt but there's just nothing to it.

    Agreed. Last night's was the worst of the bunch. No humor, few good lines, and a plot that felt largely recycled from the premiere. (Unsurprisingly, the ratings are trending down).

    Also, might be weird for thinking this but: Has anyone else noticed every villain on this show has been played with a minority actor, while the cast is largely white?

    Yeah, really bad episode. If these Centipede guys are gonna be the Big Bad, then boy we've got a problem here. So disappointing after last week's.

    Just watching now. Agent Kwan at the beginning is the guy who was trying to "enjoy himself" in Dollhouse but then was eating his own legs.

    I actually see this guy in stuff all the time, but to me he will always be guy-who-eats-his-own-legs.

    The Attic was a great episode.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Ward always has his t-shirt partially tucked into his belted jeans. Just... partially. I don't know what that means.

    Yeah, this was a mediocre episode. I thought the "giving a name" joke was passably funny.

    Not giving up on the show, though.

    Like, cool enough to wear jeans; stodgy enough to wear a belt. Mr. Relaxed Guy with a t-shirt, but I'll tuck it in a little bit, because I'm not a SAVAGE. But I won't tuck it in all the way, because I'm still Mr. Relaxed Guy.

    Come on; you're better than that. Pick a level of tucked-in-ed-ness and commit to it.

    But then I won't give the impression that I'm sharp enough to tuck it in but laid back enough to not care when part of it slips out from partying.

    During the summer, I still sport the 3/4-unbuttoned button up, California cholo style.

    "Y" infuriates me. This show is obviously goddamn expensive, but it rarely looks it. It just seems like they're wasting their budget on exotic locales and spiffy CGI, when that kind of money could have been put to a lot more use.
