After a stuttering first couple of seasons, it appears the ABC Marvel Cinematic Universe spinoff's focus is shifting towards more superheroes and Inhumans, and generally ramping up the action has been a masterstroke.
As always, there's just enough of a good show here that I'll keep watching, and occasionally writing about, even as the whole thing feels like a missed opportunity that's being unfortunately designed - and constantly redesigned - by committee.
In addition to being a thrilling experience that's truly laying every last card on the table, the new season of S.H.I.E.L.D. also has the largest amount of heart seen from the show to date.
The rival-like chemistry between Coulson and Rosalind helped to bring their scenes to life and could easily provide more entertaining interactions throughout the season.
As long as characters don't disappear for long stretches of time and the series is able to integrate them naturally, then it likely won't matter whether they're absent here and there. The fact that the show seems to realize this already is a good sign.
