I caught this last night and I thought it was good. I was not blown away by it but I'm on board to see where it goes. I'm a little concerned with the team members. Not a lot of them excite me yet, but it seems like Joss Whedon shows get better with time as the characters dynamics develop.
I'm not quite sold as Coulson being the "bad ass" leader. We'll see how that develops.
There were a few nice nod to comic book fans which is always cool but it never seemed over the top to the point if you had not read or seen any movies you were missing anything.

I shut it off after 20 minutes. Completely absent the redeeming charm of The Avengers and basically unwatchable for non-comic book people. I could see people who are into super heroes liking it, but that was not for me.

From one of the press releases I read (awhile ago) it sounds like they really story arced the season... so expect it to build slow... Think they even said it compares to Battle Star Gallatica's story telling?
I didnt watch it yet though... might just wait for the DVD release and watch it in one shot

i LOVED season 4
the episode where faith breaks out...the full on transformation of wesley into a total bad ass...what the hell is not to like?
those are two very good parts (especially wesley's transformation) but the shit with cordelia fucking conner? whaaat? and lots of other shit from the second half of the season that i can't remember that was just agonizing.
at least it leads to season 5 which is not only the best season but may be better than any buffy.

But Connor and Cordy boning is pertinent to jasmine being created. As far as season 5 goes how smile time did not get more universally recognized pisses me off

So... it's a "return to form" and "best show since Yield" for Whedon?

yeah but the jasmine thing is so stupid. the whole show gets lost up its own arse by the end. maybe it's because whedon was too focused on buffy, which was in its final season at the time.
smile time is fucking awesome. i also love that episode where angel is sick because of that weird slug thing eve puts him and the whole episode is a sick dream-like blur. the eve character is great.

it was a fun watch i thought (the whole jasmine thing though i was pissed cause i knew cordy was a goner and she and angel wouldnt get together) but i honestly thought connor really shined at times that season.
eve was awesome as the liason to the wolf, the ram and the heart. Lorn was spectacular as comic relief. i really just thought from the get go no matter who they brought on the chemistry was going to be near perfect.
