Definitely Dropping the Ball

I wish i knew why I keep forgetting to post here, because I do want to put something up each week, but sometimes it slips my mind as I am busy with so many other things. On the bright side, I have had time to think of something to write about (and actually remember it!).
This is actually something that entered my mind a week or two ago, and I cannot help but still have it there. From the beginning, I have been watching Marvel Agents of Shield, and while I can put up with a lot of the less-than-good aspects of it, especially in the more recent seasons, some of the more recent episodes are really annoying me. One example would be in an episode that has a ship floating in the air, and there being a concern about visually finding it. Apparently not only was RADAR not a thought (within the show or the writers' room) but as it was stated to have been there for years, the concept must not exist either. Some episodes later we also learn that Hydra, the secretive global-domination minded organization is really evil Hogwarts without magic, but still uniforms including crests stitched on. No one is supposed to know this group still exists, but they have a school and school uniforms. Really makes it hard to believe Hydra went unnoticed for decades.
It feels like a lack of respect for the previous content for the show, the viewers, and a desire to always outdo the previous climax are hurting it. The stakes can increase without making the danger greater, but by making them more personal, and leaving the stakes the same is viable too. Seriously, we don't need an escalation in threat every season because it can always just be a threat to a newly found/exposed weakness. It is possible and I wish this would happen, to give us all something better. (Also, it would be nice if it could be unified with the movies as well. There are still plenty of stories that can be told while acknowledging and connecting to the movies, without compromising the show's integrity as a separate entity.)
