I'm just going to make that my sub-heading for this show, until Fitz gets better. Ish.
I just love the little continuity nods. Like Coulson's ability to use the holo-display correctly, something neither he nor Ward could get the hang of in season one.
I also love the new, tooled up Bus! Seriously, the weapons and the cloaking tech. Better watch your back Talbot (or General Moustache as I've decided to name him)!
I don't understand why B.J. Britt hasn't been made a series regular. He's been in the show since halfway through last season. He's been given this fantastic link to the Howling Commando's, he gels with the rest of the regulars.. It's baffling!
Hunter is less annoying this week, sometimes it's like the writers are trying too hard. I'm sure he'll gel eventually- don't force it. Mackenzie is less of an unknown as well, his relationship with Fitz (being the only one who really treats him normally) is nice, and I'm looking forward to seeing where they go with it.
And Fitz! I'm simultaneously sorry for him and extremely pleased that he's still as sneaky and snarky as he could be in season one! And Iain De Caestecker just holds my attention. I'm interested in what he's going to do with Fitz, how he'll portray his next, frustration-filled blow out. It's happened more than once that a regular-but-not-main character has made a better impression on me than the hero (Buffy Oz and Xander, Firefly Wash and Kaylee, Shameless Mickey Milkovich.. ), and Fitz is it for me on AoS!
All-in-all I'm really happy with this season so far. I know people go nuts over Arrow and The Flash but I haven't warmed to them. I suppose it's thanks to the larger MCU. The DC movies have never had the same continuity or shared history, and it's that shared history that has me choosing AoS over them.
Well that's my theory.
