Agents of Shield

Who watched? What do you think? Will you keep watching?

I'm a total Joss Whedon fan so I was predispositioned to like it. And I did.

I thought that it was a good pilot episode. Hooked me and made me want to watch more. I like the way they've set up the team and that there wasn't a whole lot of backstory tossed out in the first episode. Chloe Bennet is really good as is Ming-Na Wen and Clark Gregg.

Plus, this is the kind of show that Joss Whedon does best- an ensemble of unlikely heroes, big bads, and witty dialog. Give me more.

I was honestly playing on the computer while I watched it, so I can't say I paid full attention. That said, it was enjoyable but not riveting. I actually thought the male "super-spy" lead was the weakest, he was just kind of blah. I liked the two scientists, they were fun. Pilots are hard -- you have to introduce all the characters, and then the network wants action to suck people in, etc. Knowing Joss I'm sure there are some big plot twists up ahead, so we'll be watching for a little longer.

Best part, hands down, was Coulson's: "I saw the dark corner, and I just couldn't resist. I think we have a bulb out back there or something." And the little poop with knives.

I enjoyed it, although I cut anything Whedon related a lot of slack. I think Whedon shows need a good half-season of set-up before they really get going. Firefly being the obvious exception -- maybe. What if it had gotten FIVE TIMES more brilliant in the seasons following? Now we'll never know.

I liked Fitz-Simmons quite a bit, but I'm very interested to learn more about Melinda. I'm a sucker for the kick-ass Whedon woman. I've always loved Clark Gregg in about anything, he's just a very appealing actor. Looking forward to seeing what kind of spins they'll put on the story as it progresses and Centipede develops as the possible Big Bad of the season (?).

I played on my computer, for almost the first half, but then watched the rest. It was good. I'll have to watch a few more episodes to see if I really like it or not.

We have to wait until it's aired again this weekend because our power went out during the last half of the episode.

Clark Gregg tweeted that they're rebroadcasting it tonight at 8pm.

I really enjoyed it. A lot of Joss Whedon humor. I will definitely will be watching it every week for my Coulson fix. 

I really like Fitz and Simmons, I'm not sure how I feel about Skye though.


I agree @dr.girlfriend, that was my favorite part. I love Coulson so much. 

[secretlyevil]

H approved. I enjoyed it, we'll keep watching.

That's all I have to add.

All of this, to a T.

I liked it well enough. Coulson was awesome, of course, and I suspect I'll end up liking May. I need a few more episodes before I can decide on the rest of the cast. All in all I enjoyed it.

Did we forgot to mention that Shepard Book was in it?!

[starfish]

I want to see more before i decide, I enjoyed it, but it did not hold my complete mind.
I was able to play Diablo and keep up. I felt like something was missing, maybe I missed something but it seemed a little flat, and was pretty easy to guess what was going to happen in the story. Still enjoyable but I really wanted more!
I am hoping it gets even better.

Fi pointed out that Shepard Book was in it and I freaked a little. It is good to see him in things! I thought it was done in a similar style to a movie, which was odd for pacing, because it certainly wasn't a movie. The "we are a team now yay dramatic group shots" I thought were cheesy, but over all I liked it!

[pirate]

I thought it was all right, not an instant favorite or anything, but my h liked it and I want to give it some time to see if it grows on me

Gunn too! I love that Joss recycles actors. I'm sad that Gunn was a wash though. Plus, did it seem like his acting chops kind of sucked to you? 

Hmmm....a little? I still liked him though. He is going to be at Emerald City!

Maybe we'll see Fred at some point!
