Yep - as a long-time Marvel fan I caught the clues about Skye in teh past few weeks, so this wasn’t as big a surprise as it should have been, but I am a huge fan of the show.
And they killed off the black guy. At least they could have put him in a red shirt, as Star Trak famously did to their expendable characters. Why is Hollywood so racist?
I have been watching this series from day 1. Looking forward to seeing how they do with Agent Carter.
When will they put more episodes on Netflix. I canceled the hyw robbing cable company.
I love the show but have to admit that I know nothing of the characters. I did not read any of the comics so I have no reference point for who is who on the show. Which is probably pretty good advertising for the show - you don’t have to know all the comic characters to enjoy the show. I do love Coulson and the guy playing him plays him perfectly. I was also hoping Ward would be a good guy, but he seems to be too messed up - especially now that Skye shot him. I also wish they would not have messed with the Fitz/Simmons relationship. I really liked how they interacted as co-workers and making it an awkward one sided love interest kind of disappointed me. Looking forward to next season.
I had a bad feeling about Tripp when he kept getting billed as a guest star and not a regular.
This half a season has been much better than the 1st half of the 1st. Too much foot dragging last year waiting to rev up for the Hydra plot. It’s surprising it took them this long to get the Inhumans in, having sold the movie rights to mutants when they sold the X-Men Inhumans were a pretty obvious way to get “mutants” into the MCU. Overall I like the direction things are going, but I’m still not watching Antman, hate that character.
Haven’t read Marvel since I was a kid but enjoy the show.
Like the Marvel movies it’s just good fun.
An update since I am still watching.
I do not watch network TV. But I do for this show. The ratings continue to be poor (a 1.4 the week before) so I’ll watch it live if my cable selection is worth it to anyone. I am not a Nielsen family.
Anyway, I am continuing to be pleased by the show and heard last night on Jimmy Kimmel, who had most of the Avenger’s actors on, that Captain America will be on the season ending episode!
I started watching the show on Netflix and got hooked in Season one. Then Hydra took over and I’m done. The problem is that Hydra is a wild card that can be played at any time. Any character, no matter how “committed” to Shield, can be turned into a Hydra operative by the writers, when the script needs it.
That makes it too unbelievable for me. I’m done. Sad. I was getting into the characters. I saw it as Firefly meets Red meets The Expendables. These are all movies both my wife and I really like.
The first season was good, I’ll not bother with the “hydra” nonsense.
