It's frustrating that Clark Gregg said that to me too because if you of how ridiculous that generalization is for this show. It's a geeky comic book show, they might want the target audience to be more general, but the people Gregg is talking about is the Core Audience, the geeks who wanted to see a show driven by Whedon. I don't understand why Gregg wouldn't want to be apart of a show that has a clear World built around great mythos and carefully driven plot line. Maybe that's just me then....
Back to the show, no one has actually seen this episode yet? This time last week the show was on Hulu Plus. I'm sort if excited by the fallout both of the Winter Solider and Ward's decison last week. I hope the show really changes for the better after these episodes...
