Christophe Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 A million miles from anything I'd normally watch if Joss Whedon wasn't involved. But he is and I enjoyed it, but it's not great. Considering the pilots for Buffy and Firefly this is well away from that league but it had Joss touches that will keep me interested. I liked the scientists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the scientists I'm sure I read somewhere that it's Jed Whedon who's doing most of the writing but Joss had to do a bit of rewriting.

port-ton Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 You could tell Joss wrote the pilot as it was like a Joss Whedon show. Not sure if the second episode was written by him but I doubt it as it was a pale imitation of a Joss written episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 It has massive potential, especially linking it with the films, both episodes have been decent enough, the defining point will be if they can create a full season story arc and mke it interesting enough, stand alone episodes will quickly lose interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 2nd episode wasn't as good as the first but Il keep with it for now to see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I watched the pilot. The second episode is taped but I haven't watched it yet. This is usually a bad sign - if I go weeks and it's still unwatched, then my brain is telling me something. Struck me like an imitation of Heroes or Alphas.

forehead7 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Good episode this week with the start of what I assume will be a recurring villain (Graviton). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 When Ward was walking around with the glasses, he would have to have been looking up (with head tilted up) all the time to avoid seeing his white hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it yourself. Even when looking straight ahead, you'll often see you hands unless you have them in your pockets or at your sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the camera that's streaming doesn't capture as wide as our eyes do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I've given this the first 3 episodes and it's not getting any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he saw it, he'd know it wasn't handler, meaning their security was breached, putting the handler at risk of being terminated as well. But aye, was a good episode. Really enjoying this series.

Widge Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Loving this. Caught up with all the episodes today. Found it so watchable, weird to think the actress who plays Skye is only 21, she's younger than me FFS, just mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm enjoying it too. I hope it starts to focus more on one person/organisation as an opposing force to SHIELD rather than what seems to be a different one every week - that sort of "case of the week" show is near saturation with the CSI shows and whatnot. I'd hate to think they were just riding that bandwagon but adding in the comics part to get another piece of the pie. Coulson, May and FitzSimmons are good, Ward is pretty awful and Skye is alright (though she's getting a bit too much of the focus for my liking). I'll certainly give it to the end of the season and see what's transpired by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an earlier episode is any indication then we'll have our seasonal bad guy soon, can see it going the way of buffy with a season story arc but loads of weekly episodes tied in as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offft Must be my ever-increasing worry over these wenches becoming jailbait. I'm scared for the day where it becomes frowned upon for me to be oogling 21 year olds.
