First Impressions - AoS : ' Ragtag'


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...

Episode 21: 'Ragtag'

The Good:
1) We get to see how Garrett met/trained Ward...
2) Coulson et. al. learn that Cybertek, HYDRA, Garrett and Project Centipede are connected...
3) May and Coulson pretending to be nerds...
4) Garrett dying...
5) Fitz finally using some tech to do some damage...
The Bad:
1) ...only there was too much of Ward's time spent with Garrett and nothing on Ward's time as a kid. Has everyone forgotten the well but me?
2) ...which we all knew two months ago. Maybe not how they were connected, but still.
3) ...but why couldn't one of them have been Fitz or Simmons? We've seen Coulson and Simmons work together before to hilarious effect, but May and Fitz would have been interesting too.
4) ...but he's saved by using the only known sample of the GH-325 derivative made by Raina?
5) ...yet not having anything to save himself and Simmons from falling into the ocean?
The WTF?: So - this new GH-325 stuff causes Cosmic Awareness?
Adorkification Moment: While there wasn't anything "official", there was one notable highlight and possibly another that I missed:
1) The "file transfer". That was drop dead funny. More writing like that please.
2) I was expecting to see the name Luther Manning - either in a file Coulson and May came across or somewhere during Quinn's sales pitch. I didn't see it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there.
