Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Easter Eggs and Marvel Comics References in “Ragtag”

Strangely, this week’s episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. — titled “Ragtag,” an acknowledgment of the thrown-together nature of the team since the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Captain America: The Winter Soldier — is the first time since that fall that the team…didn’t really seem like a ragtag group of passionate people.They no longer seem to be on the run from law enforcement; Triplett’s family provided them with enough spy gear to be competitive with HYDRA throughout the episode; they’ve got a second plane to chase their first plane with and the question of just who the hell is paying for the jet fuel still doesn’t seem to be an issue at this point (is that where Felicity Smoak transferred all that guy’s money on Arrow while pretending it was going to charity?). Though they don’t technically have jurisdiction, for most of this episode they seemed as put-together as they’ve been since the Winter Soldier came a-knocking.Title inappropriateness aside, the episode dealt primarily with Grant Ward, and how he came to be in the employ of both S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA while working under John Garrett.  Because there was a lot of story to tell in just 42 minutes and change, there wasn’t a ton of room for Easter eggs, but they did sneak a few of them in…
