This is by no means a deeply intense dissection of the episode.
That will happen over the summer after my purchase of the Blu-ray.
I've put my quick comments and notes after seeing the episode only once after the jump.
You've been warned...
The Good: Seeing more agents (see Adorkification Moment).
* Seeing someone besides Fury who has (some) authority over Coulson...and how he handles it.
* Getting more comics-related stuff on the show. The OverkillHorn Device was something I remembered, but not very well.
* Having Simmons shoot Sitwell? Priceless. Having her and Skye go to May afterwards? More priceless.
* Coulson's use of Level 8 Clearance to look into "Tahiti".
* Did anyone else catch when Coulson caught himself saying that it was a magical...place?

The Bad: Skye having choose between helping Ward and Fitz and looking into her own past. Really? We needed to see her have to chose which side she's on again?
* We see Sitwell again, why not Benny and Claire?
* We see Sitwell again, why not Benny and Claire?
The WTF?: Wait...when exactly did Coulson get to Level 8? Are May and Ward Level 8 too? That was unclear.
* So Skye was adopted...and was left by a female S.H.I.E.L.D. agent? Will this be another plot thread dropped midstream like the Centipede organization and May's past as "The Cavalry?"

Adorkification Moment: I liked Agent Blake's appearance last week, but Sitwell's had more screen time (appearing in two One-Shots and a bit in Avengers). He's cool. Agent Hand is cool too...as long as we see more of her in future episodes (and maybe Captain America: The Winter Soldier?)
