Fun/enjoyed event in the latest ep.

The flaming chain was a confusing point in the promo poster to some, since James used one last season.  I liked that Ghost Rider hadn't used one during the first three episodes, and grabbed it during the fight when James was using it as a whip, then looked at it like, "hmm... think I'll keep that." 

Yeah, that was an interesting thing to show an "origin" of. I'm just glad they haven't wasted time showing Ghost Rider's origin. They just say he made a deal with the Devil. I wouldn't be surprised if they did later, though.
Oh, and it's very odd that

Season 5 episodes 1 & 2 "Orientation"

Pretty solid start to the season for this show and I was honestly surprised by

the dramatic shift in direction. I definitely was not expecting the reveal at the end of the first episode that they are in the future.
