- Donnie Gill becomes a supervillain known as Blizzard (as you can see above). I'm sure that costume would translate well on TV.
- So far, Marvel has stayed squarely in the D-List for super-powered villains on AoS. (Setting up future confrontations with Blizzard and Graviton so far.)
That's merely an observation, not a criticism. It makes sense that the film guys would guard all the toys in their sandbox, but I think we could safely throw SHIELD a meatier bone than Blizzard, right? Now, with that said, Dylan Minnette did a great job as Donnie Gill. The writing and direction rebounded in this episode after the garbage fire of the previous two episodes.
Big things are afoot in the latter half of the first season with a guest stint by Bill Paxton and appearance of Sif from the Thor franchise, so we'll see if AoS can close strong. Too bad American television doesn't adopt the British model on a show like Agents. Cut the season in half, concentrate on ten great episodes, and you might have something special.
