Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. [US] ** Spoilers **

Gbear

I think it's pretty perfectly executed.

After the pretty ropey days of the the first 10 episodes of last season it's been consistently strong in acting, writing and the effects look like they've taken a step forward this season as well.

It's a great little show.

Excellent acting again from Fitz, Simmons song was perfect, was never any doubt she is undercover, Strange to see Agent 33, wonder will we see Hercules pop up to save her from Hydra. Hope to see more villains next week, Lion Paw guy hopefully.

Agent Coulson

:D:D

During a Reddit AMA to promote his new movie "The Judge," a fan asked which TV show Downey would "be willing to guest star or do a cameo for." His answer was definitive: "Agents of SHIELD."

"Nothing is impossible," he writes. "But there might be a fair amount of red tape involved in something like that. I love Clark Gregg, and am pleased the show is doing so well."

Well considering RDJ had a tv role on Ally McBeal so he's no stranger. I think the main sticking point is they may want to save the revelation of Coulson being alive to the other Avengers in a movie. Though it doesn't make sense that Stark of all people doesn't realise he's alive considering he is tuned into a lot of data. I'd say he might've heard about one of the most wanted men.

Or as I said to someone else, they need Brian Blessed in The Avengers 2 just in a cameo to say "Couson's alive!"

Agent Coulson

I can see happening as AoS is the lead into Avengers 2 next year I could see a few more big guest spots in part 2 of the season next year.

Well if Hydra don't know it's Coulson in charge, maybe he wouldn't have to know?

They could even have some amusing scenes where they barely miss each other.

Another great episode, the fight scene of Agent 33 vs May was awesome to see.

Agent Coulson

May vs May :D:D:D:D

miralize

I've said this before but Ming Na Wen is 50... 50!!!

RobbingBandit

Awesome fight scene, was hoping for a wardrobe malfunction

Kirby

Wasn't that enamoured with that episode. Felt it was the weakest of the 4 episodes we've seen this season. We've seen impersonation/body swapping etc. done a million times. Less tropes and more originality please.

Everyone else seemed to love it though so....maybe it's just me but I preferred last weeks.

CastorTroy

Is it wrong that I found a 50 year old woman fighting her double wearing a slip/dress hot? :pac:
Great finisher

Good episode. Liked the shock from the team hearing May laughing and being all chatty. And then just walking through the lasers.

Nice to see Fitz getting back in with the group.

Nervous Wreck

Every week before I watch a new episode of this, I think "I'm not really arsed, this show is lame." and every week, without fail, I think "Well that episode was awesome!" Weird.

SarahBM

Im not like "OH MY GOD I cannot wait for the next episode" but more a case of "oh I am intrigued to see what twist comes next" and I must admit I am dying to know what the bloody hell is the story with Skye.

don ramo

its a show that always keeps it interesting, sure it could still be better than it is, but it does more than enough to keep me coming back, even if it is second on my to watch on a Wednesday morning (after Person of Interest of course), maybe by seasons end it will be first choice, im expecting a lot to happen this season on the show, as its gonna tie-in with Avenger 2 next may, i also wonder will it ever tie-in with the 4 characters netflix are developing shows for at the moment, and also the Agent Carter show thats gonna fill the 10 week void when this show takes a break in the new year,

like i said i expect it to really pick up it game this season,

It has to stand on its own for the most part but some tie ins / easter eggs or cameos would be nice

Agent Coulson

If Marvel/Disney are building towards Civil War then I would expect all six of the series to be linked with the films over the next few years.

the films have already had a miassive influence on the series, and that was just a captain america film, i can only imagine what kind of influence an avengers film will have, also thor and guardians of the galaxy when they hit earth, also ant man, and dr strange,

the series ratings are completely tanking at the moment, but i dont think the show will be canceled as id say disney are looking at the bigger picture, using the show as a launch vehicle to get from one film to the next, and also deal with the larger scale fallout from each one,

i hope the civil war storyline goes ahead, it would be great for the series, so far its the weakest part of the MCU (well after iron man 2 and 3),

TheGoldenAges

Another awesome episode, loved that quote from Hunter at the end asking Mockingbird what she did she do with her hair (She's blonde in the comics)

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Cracking episode. Had me gripped from start to finish. Brilliantly done and I love that the team continues to expand.

GottaGetGatt

Good episode, i wonder will we see Skys's father in his alien form,at the end of season 1 ,wasn't he sitting in a chair ,his back turned to Raina and he was blue.

CastorTroy

All I was thinking: "Wow, she's tall!" Even though I watched the entire series of Friday Night Lights, I keep forgetting how tall she is.

Gbear

Hmm.

The whole extraction thing seemed to be pulled out of their arses a bit.

I was convinced they were doing a switcheroo and Simmons was getting brainwashed.

At least they laid some groundwork with her being the ex-wife, etc.. She's not just some total randomer.

CastorTroy

Read a comment about how were they just taking a jab at DC by having the Wonder Woman actress jump onto an invisible jet.

are they aliens though, skye said her parents were killed in china somewhere i think, maybe they worked for SHIELD or HYDRA and got caught in some kind of explosion, which they thought killed her parents and made her a 402( i think thats what an object of unknown origin is), presuming others exposed to the conditions developed some kind of powers, maybe they may think skye has some untapped ability,

also he didnt come across very alieny

They showed in another episode that the formula was derived from an alien. Yet Skye is unaffected by it. Ergo she's not completely human. So maybe not an alien but not a human either.

maybe, but i still think she was exposed to something, and showed her capabilities at some point, which was why she was designated a 402, not cause she of unknown origin, but shes a mystery,

I was halfway through this week's episode when I twigged who she was.

Gbear

Thought that one was a bit meh.

The acting and production values felt a bit weak.

Mandatory feels with Fitz Simmons as usual. Ward is a really good character.

They really should've used something more sensible for him escaping rather than "he just took his handcuffs off". Like even if he dislocated his arm or something at least it would've taken some effort.

Agent Coulson

No need for spoilers on aired episodes.

Ward really could turm out to be the bad guy the whole MCU needs ruthless and prepared to kill anyone.

I do like how the team is growing and this episode showed that the events of Cap 2 are being seen around the world not just America.
