Agents of SHIELD - Season 2 Discussion Threads. (Spoilers Likely)

[Enterprise1701]

I don't get why Coulson was so reluctant to tell Skye of Hartley and Idaho's deaths.

I'm confused. So the Obelisk was affecting Creel through his rubberized body? He wasn't storing the Obelisk in his arm or anything?

Raina safely touching the Obelisk screams Inhuman to me!

^Skye would be off her game if she was busy being saddened by the loss of teammates. Also, who really knows the science of Absorbing Man's abilities when in contact with alien objects.

 

[Trekker4747]

Pretty good episode, looks like the season could hold promise.

Is it me, or is it when The Bus and Quinjet decloaked there was almost a "Star Trek" sound to it?

I wonder if Fitz will ever be "back to normal" instead of having a classic case of Acute TV Brain Damage?

I wonder if/when we'll see Absorbing Man again?

 

[Turtletrekker]

That "Senator with deep pockets" that Talbot mentioned?

Spoiler: Senator

He is Ward's brother.

 

[DEWLine]

Wondering what their damage is...and what it might become.

Seriously, it's something we knew the production team was going to come back to eventually, with all the hints dropped during the first year.

 

[Skywalker]

Still not a fan of Hunter. He brings nothing new to the team and seems really extraneous at the moment.

 

[Captain Fine]

I was wondering if anyone else thought it sounded like a Bird of Prey or Warbird decloaking! I wonder if that similarity was intentional somehow!

 

[CorporalClegg]

Tim DeKay? Nice!

Here's the great thing about cancellation handled by a real ####.

So... Joss Whedon?

 

[Turtletrekker]

SHIELD hit an all time low in ratings last night. I really fear this show's days are numbered. I'm hoping Agent Carter turns out a lot better so that Marvel won't cease trying to have a hit show.

I wouldn't worry too much about cancellation until the Hulu and DVR and other Plus Three and Plus Seven numbers start to drop. Overnight numbers are near meaningless in 2014.

Plus it got Disney at its back and maybe they're willing to settle for less profit than anticipated and are looking at the long run so they make keep a show that barely finances itself on the air (and i don't have the slightest cue at which point Shield is considered profitable, it certainly may not be cheap to produce).

Things like the Hydra reveal in the last third certainly kicked up the quality of the show but it lost a great deal of good will with the lackluster first half of season 1, especially with the insane buzz leading up to it and the huge franchise it is attached to. Not many shows can bounce back from a mediocre or even bad season.

 

[Guy Gardener]

What if Disney made a horrible tactical error?

They can't possible cancel the series before they've building their Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rollercoaster for Disney World?

 

[bbjeg]

^I have a feeling, with Disney backing them, They won't be canceled until things get really bad.

That "Senator with deep pockets" that Talbot mentioned?

Spoiler: Senator

He is Ward's brother.

Spoiler: about spoiler

But is it the mean brother or the other bullied brother? (or was that boy in the well just a friend?)

 

[davejames]

Thought these first two episodes were pretty good... although the show still has too much of a lightweight guilty pleasure feel about it, and hasn't really hooked me or made me desperate to find out what happens next like it probably should (and like other Whedon shows have in the past).

Which probably explains why the audience as a whole keeps slipping week after week as well.

 

[kirk55555]

I've liked both of the episode so far. The latest episode had some cool moments, and I hope we see the absorbing Man again. The mercenary does seem a bit unneeded, but I don't dislike him or anything. I've been finding Fitz's stuff to be interesting. The preview for the next episode was very good, I'm definitely excited for it.

I don't see this as a Joss Whedon show whatsoever. This is not a Joss Whedon show. Jed Whedon? Sure.

also, I don't know if this has been posted but:

Poor Vin Diesel, he potentially goes from a guy that can only say 3 words to someone that can't speak at all.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Would Medusa's really big hair be more accepted in the South or Jersey?

Joss's fingerprints are all over.

Rest assured every script gets a visit from his red pen.

The Whedon Boys.

Now I have an image of the Whedon Boys Mysteries:

I was more imagining Rosco P. Coaltrain chasing them in his patrol car around a big tree, but that's good too.
