Members DRW50 Posted September 26, 2013 Members Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hard to believe after fifteen years Whedon is still writing his cliche nerd girls, only now more "sexy," I guess. He's such a one-note writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted September 26, 2013 Members Share Posted September 26, 2013 I just looked at the article and it looks like he's doing PAGE ONE re-writes. That sounds worse than I thought lol. Still, I enjoyed it. I wasn't blown away, but the production values were good and I liked some of the cast. If they let Clark Gregg and Ming-Na run things then the show will have a good shot. They were easily the most interesting thing about the pilot. http://defamer.gawker.com/joss-whedon-is-last-minute-rewriting-s-h-i-e-l-d-and-o-1284376623 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/agents-shield-eps-expectations-lessons-631719 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 Ugh, the second episode was even more boring than the premiere. I swear, nothing interesting happens on this show. I could barely keep watching. I was lucky to catch Samuel L. at the end. This show should be about discovering new minor superheroes or new interesting threats.

Members marceline Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 This show has a lot of work to do. I found my attention wandering during the episode which is unfathomable to me for a show that combines Marvel and Whedon. It's giving me a lot of what I expect and like from Whedon: humor and chick-kickassery but I'm not feeling it mesh with the Marvelverse. The only characters I have any feeling for so far are Coulson and May. OTOH, they have a lot of world-building to do in the first eps and that's rarely easy or fun even when you aren't trying to tie it in to an existing canon.

Members London Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 Really? I thought it was a vast improvement over ep. 1. I was hooked and intrigued by a lot that was going on. Ward became a little better to me as the episode went on. LOVED seeing SLJ, he got his wish now I wonder if RDJ will get the same. But I do agree with the latter half of your post but I bet they have to try and give us both, superheros and unknown artifacts. The show did drop in ratings though. http://tvline.com/2013/10/02/ratings-agents-of-shield-drops-week-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wingwalker Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 Not surprised the ratings dropped. Show is still boring. I also think a lot of people expected the show to have Superheroes and so far, it has none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 I am not surprised by the huge ratings drop. I think that if nothing changes the will ratings continue to plunge and the show gets cancelled by the end of the season. I wish I could be a media consultant because I would recommend that ABC and Whedon yank the show right now and reboot it with a new supporting cast and more exciting premise. The supporting cast aside from Ming-Na ranges from bland to annoying. And again aside from Ming Na, where the hell is the diversity? After retooling the show, they could have a premeire in the Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members London Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 No Ann! Ming Na & Chloe can stay and she's [Chloe] actually Chinese American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 I did aside from Ming-Na. I have no clue which character is Chloe. If Chloe is the annoying younger leading woman with the secret, her boring butt needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 the show was boring this week. It cant simply fall back on the Avengers tie in and Marvel license Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members London Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 Yes Chloe plays Skye the hacker - and she's more interesting than Fitz-Simmons. But that's just two eps. I won't write people off just yet bit no one is coming close to the flawlessness that is Ming Na. I was rolling when she did that to her wrist and the sound freaked that dude out.

Members Ann_SS Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 I tihnk that cast is bad other than Ming-Na and Clark Gregg. It would not be so noticable if the show was not so damn bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 I thought it was boring, I felt like Samuel L. was slummin', and I found the cast to be entirely too generic to be that large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
