Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Discussion Thread

[London]

I don't think he will because he would have been in that cast promo, he may have a long multi-episode arc, but if I see anything to the contrary I'll post for you since I adore J. August and I'm happy Joss bought him aboard since I rarely see him in anything.

Guess who's joining S.H.I.E.L.D.

CANNOT WAIT!

Gawd, I thought this was mediocre to dreadful. I was so looking forward to this, ugh.

Gunn has aged hard.

[ChitHappens]

Whew! Thank you Ann. I was afraid I would be accused of hating everything. There was nothing unique about this show, and special effects won't save it. ABC, do what you must!

I didn't love it, but it was enjoyable enough I'm going to keep watching.

I got bored after 10 mins an walked away. Not sold on it.

[Cheap21]

it gave off a Lois and Clark vibe to me.

[DRW50]

Is that a good or bad thing?

I enjoyed the first season of Lois & Clark, but not the rest.

Bad show. I had to start FFing fairly quickly and then when I got to the end it was so saccharinely sweetwith the montages and Very Special monologues about injustice I just don't see how I will be watching any more. They tweeked Colson to make him more Alpha so he can lead the team, but he was much better the old way.

[Toups]

The pilot was very slow and there wasn't anything special. But not all shows have outstanding pilots and pilots don't really mean anything in the long run. I'll continue to watch it and give it a chance since I like superhero shows.

I found the SHEILD pilot with David Hasslehoff and Lisa Rinna to be more entertaining, but I'm going to stick with this. I do worry that Joss had to step in and re-write scripts. It would be one thing if the show started well and tapered off, but to start of "meh" and then they're already doing re-writes, that's not a great sign. I hope they get it together. I want Ming-Na to have a hit show!

[Ann_SS]

Joss Whedon had to rewrite some of the scripts? Yikes. Well, at least that gives me some hope that the show might improve some. Goodness knows it could possibly be worse.

I missed reading Whedon had to tweak scripts--in interviews he gives the impression he won't be all that directly involved. I well say I found it fairly mediocre really--but as others have said it's just the pilot (Joss' past shows actually rarely had very good pilots...)
