- TriviaJeffrey Mace, in the Marvel mainstream continuity, is known as the Patrio, a non-augmented human but very capable fighter. Jeffrey Mace was also the 3rd Captain America and held the role longer than Steve Rogers before Rogers was found in the ice. He is also the Uncle of General Thaddeus Ross.
- GoofsAfter a fight, Robbie Reyes tells Daisy that her arm is fractured, not broken. Although the two terms are often thought of as different by the layman, they actually mean the same thing. If her arm was fractured, it was indeed broken.

Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie: You ever notice we never get to check up on, like, a brightly-lit place filled with nice, friendly people?

Featured review
We get to meet the new guy in town, and Daisy confronts Robbie
AGENTS of S.H.I.E.L.D., episode 2, Season 4, MEET THE NEW BOSS was a tad more interesting than last week's premiere. We have semi corporeal beings who were trapped by "him" (Ghost Rider, maybe, but it hasn't been made clear) and have managed to free themselves, Mack and Fitz having finally met up with Daisy, and were saved by Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider, as well as the introduction of the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Jeffrey Mace (Jason O'Mara), and we learn that if someone is touched by them, the victim goes a little south of sanity. It's been an eventful episode.
Although the introduction of Ghost Rider still seems a little out of place with the show, in this episode it's developed a little more purpose. The writers should be careful, though. The Daisy/Reyes interaction is bordering on cliché. Especially, during the last few moments.
Director Mace seems like he could be a nice addition to the cast. With Mace on board the shake up in chain of command is explained, and there's a twist. But, come on, of course there is. With this Mace character, I suspect there's more "twists" to come. He certainly has his secrets. One of our beloved S.H.I.E.L.D. agents is at the receiving end of one.
All in all, it was better than last week. There was more of a forward motion with the character. They weren't just running aimlessly around.
I hope the trend continues throughout the rest of the season.
