For an alarming number of people, initial excitement for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. turned to disappointment very quickly, resulting in a seismic drop off in week two, but that’s not deterred ABC from extending its 13-episode run to a full 22 episode season. Whether this comes as good or “meh” news to you depends on how you feel about flying cars, rubber dinghys and annoying, bickering scientists.
