Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents of SHIELD TV series for ABC - General Discussion - Part 6

On the other hand, ABC has two Once Upon A Time.... shows running now and the spin-off is very low-rated. Just something to think about.

Agent Carter would almost certainly be better than AoS based on her one shot.

Agent Carter would almost certainly be better than AoS based on her one shot.

It would be if Louis D'Esposito develops the show and stays on as showrunner. He loves Peggy Carter and crafted the One-Shot to showcase her many talents. If Marvel can spare him from his duties as co-president I think he would do a wonderful job of creating a period TV show for Agent Carter and her colleagues in SHIELD's early days. It would be a bonus if D'Esposito could also whip AOS into better shape while he's at it and keep Loeb from strangling Marvel's other shows in their cradles.

Looks like I didn't miss much since I was here last.

probably because merging arabian nights with alice in wonderland was a stupid idea to begin with?

That, and ABC overestimating the audience appetite for the series. The original OUAT has also had a ratings decline, though from what I've read that has more to do with poor story decisions (taking the cast to Neverland instead of Storybrook) than anything else. Every time I've looked in on OUAT they seemed to be endlessly running around in a forest like rats in a maze.

oh...look, skinny Laurence Fishbourne!

 

[Octavias]

Look there is still plenty of hope... The reveal on Coulson will be huge. if they tie that into why Coulson has a team of rookies and defects could make things make more sense.. Tie Centipede into Hydra or Aim. Have hill or Fury intentionally deflecting coulson away with this team to cover up a much bigger issue with him... Make sure Skye's secret is important enough that it is why Coulson kept her around despite her treachery... also have more actual marvel related supernatural events. there are plenty of fringe Marvel characters and storied items that will never make it into a movie.. add some of them to appease fanboys...

 

[OriginalMiles]

Does anybody know when the show is going to back in the UK?

Hopefully soon, seeing as we used to get it on the Friday after the American broadcast, but it's not scheduled this Friday?

I gave up

'Agents of SHIELD': Clark Gregg promises 'The Magical Place' will satisfy fans

"Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" comes back in a big way Tuesday (Jan. 7) with episode 11, "The Magical Place." In addition to resolving the cliffhanger of Phil Coulson's kidnapping by Centipede, it also promises to reveal the truth of what happened to resurrect him after he died in "The Avengers."

Like fans of the show, star Clark Gregg had to wait for months to finally discover what brought Coulson back from the dead. From "Agents of SHIELD's" pilot on, it's been clear that there was a dark mystery surrounding the character's returned life, and its resolution is one Gregg says fans will find "satisfying."

"People have been patient in really wanting to know the true nature of the secrets. ... We're going to get a big fat window at the real truth, and it's going to be very, very surprising," Gregg tells Zap2it. "When I read the sequence, I just stopped and put the script down and went 'Wow. That was worth waiting for.'"

Gregg explains that the secret of Coulson's death will have clear repercussions through the second half of Season 1. "The way our team has kind of turned the back half of this season into a reveal that uses the mystery of Coulson's death not just as a standalone reveal but as an integral part of the bigger reveal, which is that this organization Centipede, run by this person the Clairvoyant, has been part of almost everything we've done and connects on a deep level to everything going forward. [Centipede] is determined to destroy SHIELD and, to Coulson's chagrin, has some of the same questions about SHIELD that Coulson himself is starting to evolve," Gregg explains.

The slow-in-coming answer to Coulson's mystery has caused some frustration for fans, and Gregg admits that "it's time, d*** it" to reveal the truth about Coulson. From "The Magical Place" on, he says that "Agents of SHIELD" will pick up the pace through the end of Season 1.

"The fact that they've already managed to kind of make the reveal of what Coulson's doing alive [be] the one thing that the Clairvoyant wants is just part of the way the back half of this season is going to be -- more exciting and more satisfying than the first half of this season, where so much work had to be done to kind of set up this world of these people and this team, and all these separate pieces get kind of woven together," he says.

I was hoping they wouldn't drag it out forever.

 

[Alex_Kidd]

They're playn' the game of their life with this episode. The show depend from this. For me and for many others

 

[mkilban2]

They won't miss you.

 

[Endeavor]

not cool mkil

not cool mkil

Haha every post of his is constant negativity towards every aspect of the show. It's like he created the account just to bash the show

 

[mkilban2]

I'm glad to see they're finally (hopefully) tying up both the Coulson and Skye mysteries in the next two episodes. They've been intriguing, but I'm ready to get into the bigger things this show has in store. I think after these next two episodes we should have an essentially brand new team, running on all cylinders and going headstrong against what they now know is what's caused nearly every problem they've faced thus far (centipede).

All of Alex_Kidd's posts are not negative. Even if they were, if that's his opinion he gets to express it just like anyone else. He has always been respectful of others here which is more than can be said of some.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

that's his opinion he gets to express it just like anyone else.

Unless your opinion is "Man I'm tired of all this constant negativity" in which case you better watch yourself cuz that **** ain't allowed.

You really have mastered that hypocrisy thing and you're getting irony down, too.

And when I need to brush up on how to make thinly veiled passive aggressive attacks on posters who don't agree with me I know just where to go.

 

[Alex_Kidd]

I'm not negative! I love coulson and the incipit of this series, I'm complaining about the discontinuity. Top of quality and gap of faults.
the first Marvel TV show voluntarily and strongly connected with the cinematic universe it's not a project to be taken lightly, way that, imho, some in the production have taken, the technical efforts are huge, only the work about the locations its awesome, the base HUB it's not all recreated in CGI, the offices as well,vehicles, foreign scenes, the CGI effects. It's all quality.
I'm enough with A PART of the show, not with all of this. I see the show bashed everywhere in terms so harsh and trolling that annoys me and see rating goes down every week totally makes me freak out. Maybe I do too influenced by the opinions of others but I feel that this show is not giving everything he could give, and this hurt me. but incidentally, on this forum, we're talking about the same faults every time, don't need to repeat.

The show will not miss me, you neither but I will miss the hope and the opportunity to see my favorite character in the MCU return to the field through the applause of the fans

that's my point.
....not sure for the grammar form or the English.

love to all.

It's all good. The show has problems. I doubt you'd find too many people who would argue otherwise.

but incidentally, on this forum, we're talking about the same faults every time, don't need to repeat.

I agree we don't need to hear the same arguments week after week and for the most part everyone is on board with that, although there *are* those precious few who get too heavily invested in a show and become obsessed to the point of posting weird revenge fantasies about characters they don't like.

For example, I didn't like Shannon on L O S T. In fact I hated her. But you'd be hard pressed to go online and find endless posts written by me week after week expressing just how much I hated her, and how useless and universally reviled I think she is despite all evidence to the contrary, and just how much I would enjoy it if she were violently and graphically killed onscreen, and how I think the writers are incompetent morons for daring to create a character that offended me, and OH MY GOD WHY CAN'T THEY JUST PUNCH A PIECE OF RUSTED REBAR THROUGH HER FACE AND BE RID OF HER???? MURDERHATEKILL!!!

Because doing all of that would not only be creepy and unsettling but outright disrespectful of my fellow posters, who might not share my bizarrely negative opinion of Shannon even though I have made them painfully aware of my feelings for months on end. I don't like to think anyone would aspire to be that person on purpose but then again it is the internet so you never truly know what to expect from people.

Don't sell yourself short, you've mastered that, too.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Unsurprising. I learned from the best.
