Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

[The Octagon]

There wasn't one last week, was a week skipped because of Super Bowl or something?

Baseball I think.

Apparently the next episode links into the new Thor film with some crossover characters (doubt Chris Hemsworth or Natalie Portman will be among them somehow).

I'm enjoying it, the last episode was a step up (and surprisingly gruesome, I'm still trying to work out the target audience for this show tbh ).

The british science duo are still the weak link though.

to be honest mrs anon/rising tide annoys me cos theres been times where she has spoken favorably of rebel acts and then caved like a weak liberal when square jawed soldier boy gives it the biggun in response. Have some backbone

Thanks for that nugget of information.
I completely forgot about catching up and was sure there must've been an episode after The Girl in the Flower Dress (05), it's now all kind of merged into sci-fi sludge of Tomorrow's People and Revelation.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Another decent episode this week

characters are rounding out a bit

skye takes abit more of a backseat in this episode and for the better i think.

Agents of Shield summed up

 

[RedDragon]

I've just used the flying car

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Just watched this weeks one. i think it's maintaining a reasonable level of quality. it's not great but i still think it's an OK watch

 

[ruffneck23]

i really cant jel with the characters, pretty much given up on it

Honestly if it wasn't Joss Weedon and Marvel it would be canned

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

probably but to be honest i'm not sure there is that much TV out there that isn't crap

 

[The Octagon]

Honestly if it wasn't Joss Weedon and Marvel it would be canned

While I agree (mostly), I think part of the issue is people thinking it's Joss Whedon when he's actually got very little to do with it.

It's his wife and brother showrunning, he hasn't written or storyboarded a single episode.

That said, the latest UK episode was better, finally gave Fitz/Simmons something more interesting to do and drama/humour balance was good.

Still not must-see TV by any stretch, it's very much 'NCIS with weird stuff' at the mo.

 

[DotCommunist]

I just want coulson to find out he is a robot and have the smug grin wiped off his fucking face

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Episode 8 is proper good

bit of a tie in with the thor movie but that just last a few min

rest of the episode is possibly the best episode yet certianly up there top two/three partly just due to having Peter MacNicol turn up

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Haven't watching for few weeks (work got in the way) but got em all recorded and have a free afternoon.

 

[DotCommunist]

strong episode this week

this is the 2md or third time someone has nearly destroyed the plane via infiltration though so they need to work on op sec

 

[RedDragon]

Spoiler

Cold lady in slight defrost reveal, Ken takes off his shirt (again), internet hippy chick gets touchy-feely through a door, robot man removes his tie and the Brits arse around.

 

[The Octagon]

Just finished the first half of episodes (returns in January), the final episode was a marked improvement, actually drawing together several of the story strands and having some decent dialogue / plot.

Nice to see J. August Richards back, when this show was being trailed I assumed he would be one of the main characters (the 'non-SHIELD' character that viewers would identify with), instead they went with Skye.

May and Ward have both become a bit more interesting, whilst Coulson needs to find out what happened to him soon so the show can get on with stuff, it's dragging out a bit too long.

Is it my imagination or is Shield a fascist secret organization? Peace and Democracy certainly aren't leading values.

it blatantly is.

All superheroes are basically fascist...

 

[DotCommunist]

some are worse than others tho. Batman and Captain America and Judge Dredd

 

[Santino]

Superman's much worse than Batman.

 

[T & P]

That was a bloody good episode tonight, I thought.

 

[RedDragon]

I've enjoyed the whole series.

 

[DotCommunist]

I'll never again be able to hear the word Tahiti without thinking 'its a magical place'

 

[mwgdrwg]

It's really improved after a ropey first half. Enjoying it a lot now.

 

[Awesome Wells]

Disrespecting the Justice Department, that's seditious talk creep.

JD - keeping it real for 40 odd years with a storyline that features a protest by people who want democracy sabotaged by Dredd!

 

[The Octagon]

Just watched Captain America 2 last night (enjoyed it a lot, one of the best Marvel films IMO) and now I realise just how many things in Agents of Shield hint at the events of the film, and the repercussions from the film are going to be very interesting.

Spoiler: Captain America 2 effect on AoS

So basicaly SHIELD is now kaput, where the fuck does theTV show go from here? Next episode looks like a game changer

Hand's betrayal at the end of the last episode makes much more sense now, as does the commotion that Simmons talks about over the phone to Fitz.

Also - no more Agent Sitwell popping by

I think american TV is three episodes ahead of Channel4..

In the next episode Agent Fury turns up and crashes a plane full of snakes into Hydra HQ.

I've seen two episodes after that one, they're really good.
