I think the show's going to find its sea legs pretty quickly; consider how many weeks it took Dollhouse to find its voice. By comparison, S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to be on fairly solid ground already.
Also, I've got to admit, the

Samuel L. Jackson/Nick Fury cameo
caught me by surprise. I was expecting occasional drop-ins by the movie names, but not quite so early.

They're preparing us for the next Avengers movie, which should be epic.
The same slow start happened over at The Blacklist with James Spader. The 2nd episode was much, much better.

I was less wowed w/ the 2nd ep. Randomly, where as I should be amused at the antics of Fitz/Simmons, I'm finding them to be annoying.
Last scene cameo wasn't too bad, but I was expecting more.
LOL @ the fish tank though.

Lotta meh characters. Decent plots, but I could blow most of the team out an airlock and not think twice. I WANT MEN, not 120 lb pasty BOYS. And whatever happened to WOMANHOOD? These are KIDS, and I'm not THAT old....
Nothing special or of note about anyone but Coulson....

Yup. Melinda May might be the only reason I watch this show.

Eh, she's ok, I just hope there's more to her character than kicking butt and acting grumpy and Coulson apologizing to her every episode for "getting back into combat situations again" (OH AND WHO DIDN'T THINK "THEY ARE LETTING THE ASIAN CHICK FLY??!! HAVE YOU SEEN THESE PEOPLE DRIVE???!) Bwah ha ha ha ha 
OF COURSE she'll be in combat every thirty seconds, DUH! The company is called Shield, not Play-doh...
At least she doesn't look like she's twelve. Have we killed off everyone over the age of 35 on shows lately or what? Is this some kind of an empowerment trip? MOST 20-29 year olds I know can't find their asses with both hands let alone....

LOL! I hear ya. Also, a bit more, well, a lot more Ron Glass would help immensely.

I read a review that address this very well, I feel - its as if they're trying to use a lack of character development as character development. Coulson has a secret, May has a secret, Skye has a secret, ect.... but aside from Coulson - they've yet to give us much reason to care.
Ratings dropped 34% for the second episode. Not a big problem, since it started so high, but if that trend continues, they'll be retooling quickly, Id wager.
