Traditionally, I've always hated the Mac character, seemed useless every week with dumb sub plots for him & terrible acting. With that said, this season, Ghost Rider brought out the best in this dude & it carried thru to the LMD story line. Hes' had some decent action scenes now & last night's episode was his best yet with all the snarky robot movie & TV show jokes & references & the classic "Roll Credits" / fist bump scene near the end. His ascension parallels the rise of the show this season & I'm enjoying the change like a breath of fresh air after the stories had grown tiresome at best.

I still hate the Mac character, because he's just unnecessarily cautious and pretty bigoted, BUT, the writing for his character has definitely improved, and even though I still dislike him, he's a character that is well developed so he's a "love to hate" kind of character.
I feel like they may be setting him up for a death scene or betrayal or something because he seems really, really unlikable atm -

He's not bigoted.
He's pragmatic and the sound voice of reason. He's the one who's going to give caution when everyone else wants to jump right in and try it.
He's distrustful of alien and weird tech. It's the reason that Coulson put him in charge of anything acquired of that nature.
Coulson knew that Mack would not be tempted to use it and would make doubly sure that it was kept out of the wrong hands.
