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

[DotCommunist]

poor old deathloks been fucked over hard in general

 

[The Octagon]

Yep, he does. For about 30 seconds at the end.

He's in like 3 different scenes throughout the episode and has crucial dialogue and action scenes.

Was a good finale I thought, loads of satisfying moments and plenty of humour.

Spoiler: The Beginning of the End

Garrett's resurrection and subsequent disintegration was classic Whedon-type humour, undercutting the over the top moment

May 'nailing' Ward was quality too

Plenty of plot strands to deal with in S2 too: Director Coulson rebuilding SHIELD and dealing with whatever is wrong with him, what's happened to Fitz (after his Charlie from LOST moment), and obviously Skye's true origins

 

[Lord Camomile]

I thought it picked up towards the end, especially once Wards evilness was revealed.

I was a bit disappointed with that tbh. Could have been interesting but I don't think the character/actor could carry it off.

Wanna bet next season they pull him out as a double agent?

Gee, I must have fallen asleep....

now you've said it I see the inevitability of it



I'm not sure I'm totally up on the whole story of shield worldwide etc cos theres still no decent torrents of Winter Soldier

episode 3 of season 2 is in the usual places and its mental. In a good way. This series has gone dark.

You keep replying to 2 different AoS threads and I keep thinking my posts have been deleted

And indeed, Ep3 was another strong episode. It actually now reminds me a lot of Alias (when Alias was at it's best), except with more than one decent female character.

Hoping they can keep this quality up, it's light years better than it was in it's early days.

Spoiler: Ep3

The Fitz/Ward scene was very good, and the way they kept Simmons' cover was cleverly done

 

[The Octagon]

Also -

Spoiler: Skye

Fucking Kyle McLachlan as Skye's dad, brilliant

 

[DotCommunist]

I like the way woman who used to be from the internet but now trains with deadly asian woman keeps boying off the british mercenary lol

 

[The Octagon]

And May getting her revenge on him for the previous episode's shenanigans too

Also, without going thread-phwoar, I cannot believe the actress playing May is 50

EDIT - Just looked up her IMDB, she was Chun-Li in the awful Van Damme / Kylie Streetfighter film from 1994 , lol

 

[DotCommunist]

i'm in show heaven atm, peaky blinders, agent of shield, doctor who, sons of anarchy, Syfys Defiance (datak tarr ftw). Chuck some GoT in there and wooo

petite english scientistis the best looking woman on the show. Ward, especially evil bearded ward, is the best looking bloke imho etc

 

[The Octagon]

Just watched Episode 5, they're really not hanging about, great episode and a couple of really entertaining characters introduced properly

Spoiler: Ep5 and comic stuff

Bobbi Morse (aka Mockingbird), coming off like a TV-version Black Widow while rescuing Simmons

And Kyle MacLachlan bringing the crazy as he can always be relied to do

 

[souljacker]

anyone know when this is coming to ch4?

 

[The Octagon]

anyone know when this is coming to ch4?

As coincidence would have it, it starts again on C4 at 8pm tonight

 

[souljacker]

Nice!

 

[DotCommunist]

good cloaked plane action this week

 

[SpookyFrank]

US ratings for this have been tailing off since it started, so don't get your hopes up for a third series

Season 2 has been great so far though.

 

[Awesome Wells]

One too many stubbly hunks for my liking, including the british guy who can't act.

I'lljust stick to the awesome Winter Soldier movie.

 

[T & P]

Well, purely from a Phwoar! point of view, tonight's episode was quite epic

 

[The Octagon]

Just watched Episode 8, possibly the best (and darkest) one so far in the show -

Spoiler: Things We Bury

Kyle Maclachlan is absolutely brilliant, so entertaining and his scene with Coulson was the highlight of the ep for me. Really want to see him in his 'angry' state, this man took out a village, should be interesting to see.

The show went a lot further than I was expecting with the Nazi dissection of Skye's mother, that was pretty full on (Incidentally, nice to see Dichen Lachman, she was great in Dollhouse, but her characters are usually the victim of horrible trauma!).

Shifting alliances, a serious nod towards The Inhumans, and Grant 'Magnificent Bastard' Ward basically being awesome and chilling at the same time (killing your brother and parents, then using the confession to frame older bro? Harsh )

And finally the oldest trope of 'bickering couple...SMASH CUT... ripping each other's clothes off' gets nicely dusted off (Adrianne Palicki )

 

[Awesome Wells]

Did you just use the I word?

 

[The Octagon]

Did you just use the I word?

Looks that way from what they've shown us so far

 

[Awesome Wells]

What I would give to have that in a TV show/film. Done properly of course. Not explained away with some mundane backstory either.

You do realise...

Spoiler: I word

The Inhumans movie has already been announced by Marvel, it's release date is 2nd November 2018.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4154858/

I think the show is setting it up.

 

[The Octagon]

Just watched the last episode before the winter break

Spoiler: Ye Who Enter Here

Raina's back, and foxy as ever, but also.... she said The Kree! And humans who would 'transform'! Shit's about to get Inhuman, no doubt now

Skye's fighting skills have certainly improved, liking the use of Agent 33 / Freaky May as an antagonist too.

The Koenig brothers (Patton Oswalt is great), gotta be LMDs right, too many hints throughout the episode.

Not looking good for Mack, hope he survived the fall, he's been a good new character and he and Bobbi seem to have something else going on...a mission for Fury perhaps?

Ward still being a magnificent bastard, albeit still keeping his intentions murky (apart from the wanting to have Skye)

Not a bad cliffhanger to leave it on either

Can't wait for it to restart next year, properly entertaining telly.

In the meantime there's going to be the Agent Carter mini-series in the US, so some other tie-ins probably coming soon.

 

[The Octagon]

Just watched the last episode before the winter break

Turns out I didn't.

Episode 10 - Fuck. Me.

Everything just changed.

Spoiler: What We Become

QUAKE!!!
Mr Hyde
Tripp
Inhumans

That was brilliant

 

[The Octagon]

Returned last night in the US with episode 11 - 'Aftershocks'

Possibly one of the best episodes so far too, no coasting at the beginning of the new run by any means

Spoiler: Aftershocks

Coulson going full 'Godfather' and taking out the heads of Hydra in brutal fashion, some quality action moments (albeit brief)

Nice character moments relating to Trip's death and everyone's different responses (particularly Simmons', bit of a nod to Civil War perhaps?)

Great scene between Fitz and Skye/Daisy (not sure what to call her now, guessing she'll stick with Skye for the moment)

Teleporting Inhuman rescuing Reina, that looked as fuck

*realises he might be the only one still watching based on previous few posts*

 

[The Octagon]

Season 3 starts on Tuesday in the US, they've leaked the first 5 mins of Episode 1



Can't wait for this, Season 2 got better and better and there's all sorts of places they can go now with the story.

Spoiler: If you've not seen all of S2

Daisy / Quake looks awesome with her gauntlets

 

[snadge]

Kyle Maclachlan has been absolutely brilliant in Season 2, had me nearly choking to death via laughter, but I have loved him in everything anyways.
