Agents of SHIELD. Season 1 Discussion Thread

"Hah! Suck on that Centipeede guy! Ha! I cut your legs off!"

"Cut one off and two more will take it's place!"

"Huh!? What!?"

"Nothing."

"What do you mean nothing?"

"I burped."

"What you just said..."

"Something my mother used to say a bout... "

"It's reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally familiar."

 

I guess I should've quoted Samurai, his was the thought I was applying my prior post towards.

I guess when I used the word theme in my response, which was your train of thought, it muddled things a bit. Sorry about that Alidar.

The notion the show would just go on hiatus cause it can't directly bounce off the next few movies struck me as quite a bizarre thought worth a comment.

 

The show will go on hiatus for the summer and come back in the fall the same as any other ABC show. As long as it's a weekly series on commercial network television, it needs to fulfill the obligations of a network television show first, and promote the Marvel Cinematic Universe second.

 

I have been avoiding spoilers, but I thought that Guardians was a space based adventure that Earthers would be wholly ignorant of?

 

Isn't there an off-shoot of SHIELD devoted entirely to space-based politics, and one that often works with SHIELD when necessary? Maybe they need information about Star-Lord's past, so they call on SHIELD for help.

 

Are you referring to SWORD? I think they initially appeared in Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men, so I don't know if they'd technically be under Marvel's control or Fox's.

 

S.W.O.R.D.

S.W.O.R.D: Sentient World Observation and Response Department (Marvel Comics)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.W.O.R.D._(comics)

Beast, Henry McCoy is currently is dating the Director of S.W.O.R.D.

The Spider-Woman motion comics (barely animated cartoons) are about Jessica's job hunting Skrulls as an Agent of S.W.O.R.D..

 

I think it's important that Deathlok be a succesful addition to the show. If he's not, then they may pull back on how fanciful their next pick from this "large" list is. I agree, it's the first time I've heard the list described that way but Marvel has some 10K characters in their library. Just a tenth of those are probably major characters and Marvel can tap into anything not Spidey, FF, Namor or X-Men.

We should perhaps start focusing our wish list on characters who have ties to SHIELD, no matter how remote and others for things like the Netflix route(eg Moon Knight, Blade).

Bobbi Morse-having Mockinbird is a good reason to have Renner stop by for a cameo leading up to Age of Ultron?
Eric O'Grady-depending on how Ant-Man does or inspite of it.
Wendell Vaughn-could appear as a trailing edge post GotG as S2 starts? Quasar, too much?
Clay Quartermain
Jimmy Woo

S2 reasonable expectations(?)
Perhaps Cobie Smulders makes her appearances more regular giving us more Maria Hill? At least during Sweeps? Depending on what happens with Victoria Hand I guess.
Maybe get guest appearances by Sharon Carter(Agent 13)? Wasn't this actress, like Cobie, used to TV work as well?

 

The Unusuals wasn't that long ago and he's done Saturday Night Live recently as Hawkeye.

He might actually like growing Hawkeye, and lets face it, in the Avengers movies he's the junior, junior, junior partner.

 

Well, all I can say is that I hope they have the kind of perpetual screen-time and budget that Whedon seems to suggest they do. They've been moving in the right direction lately, but I think that they really need to get the lead out and get into more uber-cool situations, in order to last.

 

Wait... tonight is the "TAHITI" episode? I thought that one was a couple weeks ago and tonight was the Jaimie Alexandrea episode?

 

No, the last pre-Olympics episode was "T.R.A.C.K.S.", the one where Skye was shot. "T.A.H.I.T.I." (this is getting annoying) is tonight, and Sif appears in next week's "Yes Men" (thankfully, not fake-acronymed).

 

Ah, okay. I think the fake acronym is what threw me.

 

"T.A.H.I.T.I." reminds me of Star Trek III so far.
