Agents of SHIELD. Season 1 Discussion Thread

[Agent Richard07]

I had spoiled myself ahead of time and knew she'd be in the pilot.

Haven't been following the news all that closely so anything beyond Coulson's return will be a surprise.

How's everyone on it so far?

Typical TV fare. Pretty much what I was expecting.

 

[Procutus]

I was hoping for the Life Model Decoy

If it is, it looks and sounds like the real thing!

Well, the Decoy being what was "killed" in the movie as they're not sentient replacements for the real thing.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification.

I have the feeling that the 'real' story behind Phil's resurrection is going to be teased and dragged out through the series.

 

[Procutus]

I like this chick talking to "Totally Not Spider-man" guy.

She is pretty cute.

 

[Procutus]

Now THAT is a sweet set of wheels!

 

[Trekker4747]

What about the cellist in Seattle?!

 

[Maestro]

Meh.

 

[Procutus]

That promo for the new Thor really has me psyched for November 8!

 

[Agent Richard07]

What about the cellist in Seattle?!

He's dating Aunt May now.

 

[Trekker4747]

I'm liking it okay so far, the writing is very Whedon. Right now it feels more like it's "building" to something rather than being something right out of the gate, like Marvel/Disney/ABC is putting all of their chips on the series making it so they have time to make characters and a mythology.

Thor 2 trailer looks good.

"You've got nothing."

Yep, nothing. Accept a couple of master assassins, a man in powerful armor, a god and a Hulk. Tell them what they want to know, honey.

And don't forget the guy in the patriotic tights.

 

[Procutus]

Hacker-Chick has a nice rack.

 

[Trekker4747]

Yeah, "Skye" has some assets to her.

Still liking it okay, nothing blowing me away yet, but it's been fun. I just hope it doesn't take a Smallville-ian "Freak of the Week" approach like this.

 

[Trekker4747]

Okay... I'm not sure what the commercial wanted to sell me.

 

[Photoman15]

I'm thinking this Coulson is an LMD.

[Trekker4747]

I've never wanted to be a Flash-Disk more in my life.

 

[indianatrekker26]

first half hour was slow, but the show is getting really interesting, picking up some of the plot threads from Iron Man 3.

 

[Procutus]

I've never wanted to be a Flash-Disk more in my life.

Gives new meaning to the term 'Silicon Valley'.

 

[Trekker4747]

Interesting theory... but not sure it'd "fit" with what a LMD is. But I guess we'll see as the series progresses.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

So they went with Fury faking the death, which follows the whole "it happened off screen/said by untrustworthy character" thing. I was hoping for the Life Model Decoy, but that works too. Cool enough, glad Coulson is here!

Yeah, not quite.

Anyway, that was quite a kitchen sink reveal of what they're facing this episode.
