Eric Goldman of IGN gave the season a 7 5 out of 10 calling it a fun lighthearted but fairly disposable piece of entertainment noting that it improved through the season especially following the Captain America The Winter Soldier tie in and that by the end of the season the series was starting to come into its own Though he found the main cast s performances to all be good and praised the strong guest and recurring stars Goldman found the main characterizations to be weak during the first half of the season and he also criticized the pacing of certain overarching plotlines noting the mystery of Coulson s return Skye s parentage etc moved far too slow with relatively minor revelations treated as though they were big reveals | 156 |

The void left by the disappearance of the old semi autonomous civic institutions was filled by the theme system which entailed dividing Asia Minor into provinces occupied by distinct armies that assumed civil authority and answered directly to the imperial administration This system may have had its roots in certain ad hoc measures taken by Heraclius but over the course of the 7th century it developed into an entirely new system of imperial governance The massive cultural and institutional restructuring of the Empire consequent on the loss of territory in the 7th century has been said to have caused a decisive break in east Mediterranean Romanness and that the Byzantine state is subsequently best understood as another successor state rather than a real continuation of the Roman Empire | 136 |
