Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Spoiler tags for most current ep.)

[pofa]

I think this show will get a lot better once we're out of the "gawd you guys are so annoying why are we even a team *blow hair out of face*" stage. Hopefully it's soon.

this is the worst part of every other show ever made

We work so poorly together, as we are all talented mavericks yet in ways which make our personalities incompatible! However, we have no choice but to work together! Quick, we must hurry to express our frustration in unoriginal and interchangeable snarky one-liners!

--every show

But imagine how cool it would be if they mostly got along right away and we could just skip straight to them kicking @%%.

I think I should make a team action show just to make an episode that entirely makes fun of that cliche.

"We're not a team, we're a time bomb!"

"Ward, you speak six languages. Simmons, you have two PhDs in fields I can't even pronounce. Fitz, you are a rocket scientist. Work it out!"

Phil Coulson cares not for your new-team-antagonism bullshit.

[kkslider5552000]

Well that was a good episode that I completely forgot to watch

[pofa]

I thought that episode was better by far than either of the previous two. There was a lot of heavy-handed character development, but I was strangely OK with it. It's also the first episode where I've liked Ward at all. (Now Fitz and Simmons are the ones who still have to win me over. )

Spoiler:

I hope Ward and Skye go the mentor/student or brother/sister route instead of the romantic route.

Also...Graviton.

[Hime-Chan]

On the one hand, I enjoy Skye character much more now, although, she's a little naive to think that what Ward told her about his family was completely true!
I think we need an episode with more FitzSimmons, just to know them a little better, they're the one we don't know enough about. Maybe that's what bothering you, Pofa!

I have a feeling like they're trying to push too hard the ship Skye/Ward, I don't really like it...

[mangaluva]

Ward/Skye does feel more than a little pushed. Shipping Skye/May all the way

I just love FitzSimmons because they're adorable. It's always nice to hear a Scottish accent in mainstream media, too. (Americans and English EVERYWHERE...)

Spoiler:

Anyone more familiar with comics than me able to tell me which superhero/villain that professor dude's turning into?

Also I feel like Phil being perturbed by the loss of muscle memory impulses is support for the theory that he's some sort of clone/replica.

(...anyone know why strikethrough text doesn't work anymore?)

Spoiler:

As said above, Graviton.

And yeah, I'm thinking LMD due to the muscle memory thing.

Still waiting for them to reveal which Jessica Skye is (Drew or Jones). Or they can do like ep1, where everyone thought "LUKE CAGE!" and then it was some random.

Oh, is she going to be someone we know? I hadn't heard about that, but neat.

Maybe Jessica Jones then, since she's a superhero nerd. Though it'd be a shame for her not to meet Luke in that case.

[GinRei]

They haven't confirmed it's someone from the comics, hence why I didn't spoiler tag it. It just seems to be screaming that she should be someone we know.

Some really nice little twisties in that last episode. They're doing a good job of showing the scale of globetrotting on TV, which is obviously no easy task. I expect we'll see some comic-based villains coming along soon, and hopefully an overarching one at that.

[Conan-chandesune]

Well, this obviously needs work. Its got hiccups. But the potential here is HUGE. And the comic references keep me hooked but keep me from enjoying the surprises. I mean who who had read a bit of ancient Marvel didnt see Lola's alt-form at once or Graviton as soon as they heard Dr.Frank Hall coming ?? I liked how they tuned up his origin but.. well... I am not liking this one as much i expected to. But the feel i get while watching this is 60's Marvel all the way.

Now I remember why I don't use Hulu anymore, too many ads. I don't like complaining about internet ads but this is kinda awful.

My feeling is, if you see more ads than you would watching it on broadcast TV, then it's too many ads.

This just reminds me of how ironic (and I do think I'm using the word correctly right now) it was that during "15 million merits" 4oD kept on cutting in with adverts.

(Please tell me someone else has watched Black Mirror?)
