Cor! It was a bit good!

Re: Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Conversation Thread [Spoilers]

I like that Joss is giving his old buddy Ron Glass some work.

This show has serious potential, especially given how it runs alongside the theatrical releases. The way they incorporated Extremis was really interesting. I guess when Thor 2 comes out in a few months we'll see how much that affects the show.

Is Agents of SHIELD endangered already?  Or should the thread title read "Conversation thread"?  tongue

For the next hour, everything in this post is strictly based on the available facts.

Overnight Ratings were really good actually.

They've been pimping it like crazy, that's not so surprising. Just watch the drop-off next week.

Not so sure.  All the reviews I read were pretty positive.  We'll see.

I mostly dug it, myself. I agree with the Onion A.V. guy that this show is probably getting particularly micromanaged, so it might take a few episodes to flex the ice chunks off its shoulders. But on the whole, fun.

Loved the music. In-your-face hero music on television is more fun than I expected it to be.

Phew.  I hate it when my conserves are full of spoilers.   Thanks, Typo-Fixing Man!

Also, there's some dude with an eyepatch to see you, he wants you to join his club or something.

Re: Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Conversation Thread [Spoilers]

Oh thank god/Teague, that was niggling me.

Just saw this, hmm... not completely sold on it. Am I getting old, or does the cast appear to be a bunch of kids?

I enjoyed it, but it does have room to improve.  Loved seeing Ron Glass, and how much the cargo hold of the "bus" looks like Serenity.  That's probably just how they look and I'm viewing everything thru my Firefly Fanboy Glasses.  Also (paraphrased):  Join us on our Journey Into Mystery; With great power comes...a bunch of other stuff.
