'Agents Of SHIELD' Season 2: Director Coulson Is 'Reinventing Himself', What Does That Mean For The Team? [VIDEO]
Agents of SHIELD's Phil Coulson has a brand new title, and the new Director certainly isn't his same old self.
GH-325 induced alien writing aside, Coulson (Clark Gregg) is not quite the same agent Marvel fans met in 2008's Iron Man. Thanks to his time in TAHITI and the collapse of SHIELD, Coulson is re-evaluating himself and the agency he has devoted his life to.
"He's a very different Coulson than the guy who everyone knew. A lot of people who knew him in the old days say, 'He's different,'" Gregg told IGN "I think you would have to be different having gone through that stuff. So I think he's reinventing himself and re-understanding himself as a person anyway, which is probably really necessary to taking in the new environment and figuring out what SHIELD ought to be in a way that it doesn't get rotten again."

However, he still has the side effects of GH-325 to deal with. While Coulson seemed perfectly normal throughout season 1, something went off the rails inside him after he saw what Agent Garrett (Bill Paxton) became following his use of the alien drug. It's unknown what exactly triggered the Director's sudden desire to scribble alien gibberish up and down a wall in the dead of night, but the team better figure it out before Coulson goes as insane as the Clairvoyant.
