I had a marathon viewing of all of the remaining episodes on YouTube a few weeks back, after they had apparently already aired in some other country. (Seeing as we don't get the particular Disney pay channel that runs the show, this is how I've had to watch all of them.)

It becomes clear they added that 3 month break in airing new episodes so that they could time the big finale storyline to coincide with the release of Thor, as Asgardian matters make up the majority of the last batch of episodes, including the multiple-part finale where Loki's season long plans come to fruition.

I actually haven't read a lot of Thor, so this trip through the 9 realms was new to me, and quite the epic way to end the season. It was, perhaps, a bit too fast paced for the epic aim the story took, and I was mildly baffled from time to time, but I didn't really struggle to follow any of it.

All in all it was a satisfying end to the first season, and I'm greatly looking forward to season 2. I've already heard that a voice actor has mentioned being cast as the Vision, so that will certainly be welcome by me. I'm curious as to whether he becomes a regular or is just a guest star. I'm also still curious as to whether we'll ever get to see Pietro and Wanda. They were all characters that were a big part of the Kree-Skrull war, which seems to still be looming for next season. It would be sad to see them written out of it completely, but it's obvious that they'll be going in some very different directions regardless.

Ah well, I'm still looking forward to it either way... It's a fun show for a Marvel fan.
