The Hydra story line flipped the show on its ear and the pace became incredibly fast.
This year that pace has continued, but now the main characters are pretty fully developed and we know their quirks and their pain points.
It helps that they bought in solid supporting actors.
But it seems to be following the Buffy and Angel guide book, you think you've got the big bad pinned down and then you find out that there is a bigger badder bad.
I don't think Cal is the big bad this year, the big bad is in the background and its coming.

Some of us here have been enjoying the show from the beginning, but no doubt it took a while for it to hit it's stride. I think the early watchers were expecting more instant gratification a la MCU movies. But Joss clearly wanted to work in a number of origin stories.
Now we're finally getting the emergences of the post Winter Solder SHIELD (and possibly SWORD?), Deathlok, Quake, Mr. Hyde and other Inhumans. Graviton is still in play and they're already starting to drop hints of Black Panther. Now that Enhanced and Inhumans are in play in the show, super powers are starting to make it's way into the forefront and Age of Ultron coming up, makes sense that there would be a rise in ratings.
And yeah there's gotta be a major catch in the show before the season ends that will tie in directly into Ultron (and some big cameos), so it'll be super fun to see where that goes.
