I don't think Eric should be too much in the spotlight. A lighter role would be more welcomed. Having too much docs dilutes the story, AND we are still nowhere near canon, not to mention the resources needed to augment a normal mundane asgardian would need.
I hope Valli won't have to deal with jerkwad Odin any longer. I prefer Valli settling in with the Olympians to be honest. Odin is a certified grade A jerk.
I guess its an improvement that Odin actually talked to the MC with out being demanding. It would be funny to see the blind granny try to hook up with our MC again.
