** There's also how Coulson ends the chase -- he knows that without her flight capacities restored, Lola can't catch up to the Hell Charger. So instead, he herds Robbie a certain way, causing him to ram head first into a cloaked Quinjet.

* Ghost Rider versus Quake, Round 2! Does Daisy whip out some new moves based on what she saw and totally kick Robbie's ass? Well, she tries. But Robbie beats her in two hits, and he doesn't even transform!
* Props have to be given to May for holding it together as long as she did. Every other person effected by the ghost has succumbed instantly. May managed to focus on helping her team and lasted at least a day.

** The [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome Ghost Rider looks fucking awesome!]] Just as good, if not better, than his previous live-action incarnations. He is also more expressive- while the films had his eyes be blank sockets, here he has glowing balls of fire inside them, and the brow of the skull ''moves''. It may cross into uncanny valley, but it is still sweet as ''fuck''. The skull face has to be seen to be believed. Plus the way it consumes Robbie's face instead of just switching is a masterwork.

\n* *The episode opens with Daisy- sorry, ''[[ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames Quake]]'' now- suiting up; meanwhile, a group of guys is running scared shitless in a pickup truck. Anyone who's seen the previews believes they're running from Ghost Rider- only for Daisy to appear, having been the one to disable their truck. Then the writers finish the BaitAndSwitch by having the big GR appear after all. One of the Aryans in the truck has an itchy trigger finger and pulls out an ''RPG''. The Rider never hesitates and drives his car right into the missile! More VisualEffectsOfAwesome as the car ''backflips'' while on fire. The best part? It's at first only on fire from the explosion. But as the car flips, you can ''see'' the Rider's first scene has him pursuing some members of the Aryan Brotherhood. They fire an RPG at his car, which proceeds to flip, flames light up with hellfire, land the undercarriage and replace those from the explosion. Then the car lands on its all four fiery wheels and keep right on going.

* Let's start with some meta examples:
** The [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome Ghost Rider looks fucking awesome!]] Just as good, if not better, than his previous live-action incarnations. He is also more expressive- while the films had his eyes be blank sockets, here he has glowing balls of fire inside them, and the brow of the skull ''moves''. It may cross into uncanny valley, but it is still sweet as ''fuck''. The skull face has to be seen to be believed. Plus the way it consumes Robbie's face instead of just switching is a masterwork.
** This season, Agents got pushed back to a 10 o'clock death slot. Not only is this a spectacular episode on its own, it also contains much more violence and blood than the previous season. It almost seems like Marvel saying, "You want to try to get rid of us? Too bad; we're going to take this set back and ''own it''."
** Let's take a moment and appreciate that this show trusts its audience enough to show Ghost Rider right off the bat, without giving him an origin story.
*** For that matter, they actually showed his transformation and flaming skull fully on screen, in the very first episode! Contrast last season where it took several looooong episodes before we saw Lash transform fully onscreen- and then never did again, it was always partially obscured. This season is going to be amazing.



* The Visual Effects for Ghost Rider's transformation is phenomenal. The skull face has to be seen to be believed. Plus the way it consumes Robbie's face instead of just switching is a masterwork.
