slym2none Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Should I be ashamed that IDK who Victoria Hand is? We are getting a SPB next week - the same guy from epi. 1, however. It would be nice to see some existing c- and even b-list characters show up in this show. Or the Helicarrier. AIM & HYDRA. I know, I know, I seem to be asking too much. If some random D list Marvel character turns up that will make all the difference in how good the show is? The show is actually improving each week - I think the addition of some D-listers would get the comic geeks stoked just by having some of comic continuity brought in. Right now, everyone's personalities have toned down and are settling into established norms, rather than the over-expositional performances they initially had. The scientists are even less annoying, which I wasn't sure was possible - but they managed to settle them down. Now we just need a crisis on a beach, so we can get Simmons in a bikini. I agree wholeheartedly! -slym (is totally smitten with Elizabeth Henstridge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Balls Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 ...this A-team "villain of the week" stuff is boring. I'm conflicted with that statement. The Battlestar fan in me agrees. However, the Star trek: TNG fan in me disagrees. I like villain of the week stuff, but I also like season-wide story arcs that play to a larger end...

JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Apparently the highlight of the episode was the preview of the next episode where we find out what happened to agent Coulson after he died so nothing special Actually, it was rather good, perhaps even the best one yet.

DrWatson Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Actually, it was rather good, perhaps even the best one yet. A cliffhanger no less. I liked it. Then again, I'm not as hard to please as some of these other dillheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I also thought it was a good episode. Finally we see someone with some super strength on the team. I did clue in to something as I watched this show develop and that is: We all have been hoping to see a cameo, or the introduction of some characters from the marvel universe, but it has dawned on me that we are extremely unlikely to see anything more than we already have due to MOvies. Marvel will reserve all of their characters for Movies instead of TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel will reserve all of their characters for Movies instead of TV. Exactly. They want to keep the movies special, an event. This series is meant to provide a sort of context.

Paste Pot Pete will appear in the final episode as the mastermind behind everything and all the internet fanboys will spontaneously com-bust through excessive uncontrollable jizzing.

Pete Marino Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I thought this week was the most solid episode yet. Good story, plus the actors and writers are "finding" the characters little by little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delekkerste Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I thought this week was the most solid episode yet. Good story, plus the actors and writers are "finding" the characters little by little. I agree - definitely the best episode yet, a solid B+. They kept the annoying bits to a minimum and there was some good action, a recurring enemy who isn't just a "monster of the week", and a multi-part storyline. It'll take more than one decent episode to get the show out of the doghouse for me, and I'm not kidding myself that it'll be able to crack into the A- or A level of quality given its off-target premise and how it reads to a younger audience, but I was pleasantly surprised to not find myself in annoyance while watching last night.
