Anyone seen it? Any good?

I see they have the actor who played Coulson in the movies and the one woman with the really nice arse (err, Maria Hill) from Avengers too.

Hope it's good, don't want to waste my time torrenting it otherwise.

I liked it, but the story was a bit slow. I'm looking forward to watching more of it though.

I liked it. It was only the pilot, so it should only get better.

pilot episode was horrible.. could have been better.. it did show some promise so i will continue to watch, however since this going up against arguably the show show on tv NCIS, this will have to wait for me to watch until around 11 pm my time

Yeah was expecting much much better from Whedon and Marvel.

But hey the first episode of Buffy was pretty bad, so we'll see where this goes.

I see the potential for agents to become its own thing and soon attract a rabid fanbase. The new characters are interesting and have LOADS of potential. I was surprised. I'd give it a while before reaching arrow in quality (really like that show too) but I liked how clearly defined all the characters were even in the pilot of agents. The kind of characters who become fan favorites down the road.

Pretty good stuff. Vaguely "Heroes"-y, but better characters, which is natural since Coulson and Hill are already a little more developed.

"Charles Gunn" playing the guy you think is a recognised hero only to find him actually some random guy ... nice touch.

Whedon seems to always work in an actor from his past, somewhere.

Would love to see Amy Ackers as AIM's field commander or something.

The second episode was not bad and the Nick Fury appearance near the end grilling Coulsan

If they use AIM in this tv show, hope we get the yellow outfits since Iron Man 3 didn't use them.

Huge ratings drop.

That's tough. I thought the second episode was better than the pilot. Hopefully it picks up steam.

Not surprising considering the pilot was disappointing. They should have aired the first 2 episodes together Imo.

What exactly are you expecting from the show?

seem to have your expectations too high.

I enjoyed the pilot more than the second ep. A bit too formulaic and the whole military thing is ... Shades of the flimsy military that Whedon wrote into Buffy season 4 (and onwards - "The Initiative".

He's good at creating fun character dynamics and adventure stories, but the "gritty" feel of S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't really come through.


Feels like it is aimed at a much younger demographic.

Maybe I've been watching too much Game of Thrones .

I was also expecting better from Whedon and Marvel studios tbh.

Compared to other shows like Smallville and Arrow it's not off to the best start.

But we honestly can't judge the show until there's been a season. Buffy's first few episodes also were not the best, but it got a lot better into it's second season.

no, my expectations were never high for this.

I was expecting better from Whedon because of his previous success on tv.

I do hope the show improves with the direction of the characters as well as the storytelling

My expectations were high. With all of the Marvel characters they have at their disposal, plus the budget they have, there is no reason why this is as terrible as it is. The acting is awful.

I was suprised Graviton is going to be part of the show.

Wonder if we will see him eventually wear his costume later on in the series.

If we do then they better have Thor or Hulk guest starring!

Another solid episode. I feel this show is not as bad as alot of people here are saying. I had medium expectations because you can't do on TV what you do in the movies. I was just taking it as filler between the movies and it has surpassed that for me.

Best episode so far. Still not got me waiting for the next episode, but it's a step in the right direction.

Though it's not even touching Arrow yet

Today's episode was great. Really quite impressive.

I'm starting to like the laptop girl, pretty ... pretty.

last night's ep was all right.. the show needs better writing and characters from the comics

Nah, this show still isn't giving us anything special. And I've been giving it the chance to do that week after week. Very disappointed considering Whedon's at the helm.

Perhaps he's too busy with Avengers 2 and other stuff he's doing to make another awesome weekly tv show, in which case they should give this show to someone else.

People just need some cotdamned patience. The show is still new, it'll get better. How many shows started out the first 3, 5, 10 episodes, first season even, rocky only to become amazing shows? Yeah, too many to count.

So we'll praise it when that happens. But I wasn't going for a great show to start a year ftom now. The first five episodes should of at least given us 1 where we say that was frigging awesome Imho.

The last episode left a lot of questions unanswered
who the fuq is behind the eye tech thing, etc. They said that tech is beyond anything they (s.h.i.e.d.) has seen. And they seen some sh!t.

This weeks episode that's coming up with the dude with the fire abilities

was reading something and he seems to resemble someone from the comics.

First episode just aired here in Norway. Decent but no cigar IMO. Guess i was expecting a bit much, I`ll watch more and hope it improves.

Anyways, who wants to bet that Skye's seemingly double agent status will end up getting exposed in the next episode?

I hope this show improves soon. So far it's been weak, dull stories, cliched boring characters, weak scripts, below par acting. I wasn't expecting the cinematic Marvel, but a show from Whedon with this budget should be much better than it is. Once or twice it's shown some promise but it just doesn't deliver.

I will persevere for the time being but they'd better get moving soon.

Last night's episode was solid. I still think there is room for improvement, but I am pleased with it thus far.

Yep. you called it. And we're getting a little bit more about Coulson every week; this episode he's up early and often restless. Will they play this out until the end of the season, that he could be a life model decoy?

Oh, and Ruth Negga is a real cutie, as that duplicitous agent for the 'Centipede' organization.

The ratings are dropping with this show

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=88987

its starting to get good, Hope it makes it to season 2.

Really hope the show starts to improve some more.

Nice to see an irish actress doing well though.

As much as I ***** about this show it is still better than the vast majority of crap that TV shoves at us.

Anyway, the last episode was decent. The Asian guy going crazy was pretty dumb but other than that it was enjoyable.

Yeah give it time to develop more and hit its stride.

This ep wasn't as good as the last, but still an improvement on the first few episodes.


Getting stronger, but 1) serious budget with mediocre pacing so far and 2) May and Coulson just aren't a good paring.

May and Coulson are like the only 2 characters I care for - Skye is annoying and Ward is bland af. It's not a bad show its just not a great show either so far, very generic in it's feel and almost seems like just another teen series. Hopefully this Centipede stuff leads somewhere, and picks up the pace of the show.

Out of Arrow, Walking Dead, The Blacklist and even Revolution, this is the show I look forward to watching the least but I'm still hopeful.

Xander and Willow are my favourites, though female Spike is coming along nicely.


Maybe I watched too much Joss Whedon product, these relationships and characters seem very ... familiar.

Come on, Arrow?

Granted I don't watch the others you list but Arrow?

I can only watch that show when I'm utterly unemployed, bored and can't fall asleep. Even then I have to expend serious mental energy picturing The Queen women naked, every time they appear. And that lawyer women dead.

MAOS is shallow and slow, has cardboard thin characterisation and constantly reminds you of how big a budget it is wasting but, still a lot better than Arrow.


The only telly I watch with any enthusiasm, at the moment, are Elementary (very good show) and American Horror Story (occasionally cinematic in quality, usually very very good).


MAOS reminds me a little of season 1 of Heroes, but with fewer and less interesting characters.

I feel like a little fan love would go a long way toward helping this show do better.

I like Arrow do you watch it?

Yep have to agree there is a severe lack of eye candy, Thea would get it though lol

Arrow can be a bit cheesy at times, and the acting isn't the best but it holds my interest with it's storylines and action. The pacing is generally good, there is actually thrill and suspense (something else MAOS has been sorely lacking so far) and other known characters from the DC universe have or will be making an appearance. Plus I'm a big Green Arrow fan

I feel as though Arrow has found it's feet and has improved over the earlier episodes where it was a bit shaky, something I'm still hopeful of SHIELD. I guess it boils down to personal taste aswell really but MAOS needs to make significant improvements if it's to make it past a 1st season imo. That American Horror Story you mentioned looks good but I've only seen adverts, it's hard to find time keep up with so many tv shows!

I did watch season 1 of Arrow quite a bit, mostly because I was seriously bored and it was the only super-hero-y stuff on.

I've seen bits of season 2, the female superhero - Black Canary? - is yet another disappointing casting (and costuming!).

Felicity's looking hotter though, but that might just be the slow erosion of my standards, as I accept and acclimate to the meagre offerings of the show?

I miss smallville, maybe it's because I was still fairly young, but that show had a lot of hot looking girls. And the "smallville" scenery wasn't bad either. It got me through quite a few of their goofy stories.

Arrow is brave, in that respect, the lead female character has neither character nor allure. She is as vacant, vacuous and dull as you can get.

I was kinda hoping that Oliver's time on the island had left him deranged and he'd start an affair with Thea ... She's definitely the prettiest female on that show (and up there with the Willow character of MAOS).


AMS is definitely worth watching. Season 1 was dark and occasionally dreary, but season 2 was consistently excellent and season 3 is even better. Also, what other show gets you wondering who's hotter - Jessica Lange or Emma Roberts!?

I couldn't agree more. They need the element that's gonna have people talking, well they already have it, they just need to use it. They need something like cameos or for gods sake, one or two characters from the comics as regulars on the show. It would be cool if they used the show to bring back Dum dum Dugan for example.

Because it's not so much about SHIELD as it is a Level 7 splinter group, acting independent of the primary body. You read SHIELD in the comics, and it's about Nick Fury,Maria Hill and their close compatriots. But that would be an even more expensive show, and you can't get Samuel Jackson for more than a fleeting cameo.

They might have to move up the reveal of what's really going on with Coulson, to goose ratings.

Well they don't need Sam Jackson, I'm getting more than enough of him as it is with all the movies. But they got a whole big universe to deal with. They can use this show to introduce more onscreen versions of comic characters. The show is still new but they need to throw a piece of bait out there to keep people hanging on.

A S.H.I.E.L.D. / AIM war would be the most obvious (and interesting) way to plot it out for a few seasons.

Lots of Alias like espionage, but with the occasional superpowered agent/adversary.

Lots of globe hopping, visiting various bases around the world, then towards the end of each season a big "World in Peril" threat having to be unravelled before it actually gets serious (because otherwise it would strain credulity that in a world where The Avengers exist, a S.H.I.E.L.D. sub unit would be handling such things.

Not saying MAOS is all that great but I've seen better dialogue, characterisation and acting in that Sci-fy masterpiece with the Sharktopus in it.

Also, that Sharktopus looked much more threatening than "The Hood".

The LOSTesque island bits are the only bits of action that actually work, mostly 'cos that Ausie-Brit-whatever (can't tell from his "accent" that plays Slade has all the charisma this show can muster.

Saw that. It's an awesome idea. This is what I was hoping for SHIELD.

Just read that ep going to be directed by Jonathan Frakes

prolly wouldn't even matter.

they'll prolly just mention thor and malekith and then when the ratings come out the ep will do slightly better than it has been

Tonight's episode was by far the best across the board; story, acting, references to the rest of the MCU, and character development were all solid. It's the first time I didn't find Ward and a Sky to be incredibly annoying. Starting to show promise.

Really now?

looks like they needed that break.

Yeah, I agree. Tonight's episode was pretty intense and the acting, story and just the entire feel of the show was different. Better. I hope they've turned a corner, even though I've liked the show so far.

Definitely a significant improvement in scripting and acting now. Still not a fan of Agent May (her "silent but violent" character just comes across as an absence of character - and an easy way to not integrate her at all).

Simmons though, I think she's a much more interesting character. Like a grown up Hermoine, just specialising in biochemistry rather than magic.

Fitz is getting a little more fleshed out too, they should both be much more rounded characters rather than "the science guy" and comic relief for the Coulsen, generic Alpha-male and geeky-sexy female core.

I don't understand the intense dislike people have towards Ward and Skye. They aren't incredibly interesting as of yet, but how are they annoying? These actors don't have much experience, before AOS, so just give em some time to grow into their roles

last nights ep was ok, it was written good but still this show needs to get better..

its because both s*ck

That was a strong episode in terms of character development. Looked like Fitz has a thing for Sky at the beginning.

I like Sky. Dont know why all the hate.

I'd love to see Black Widow make a guest appearance and beat the crap out of May though. I just dont dig the hard ass attitude.

Overall I enjoy the show. I think the characters are FINALLY starting to make sense.

Last episode was perhaps the most important one so far. It was tense, and for the first time I felt emotionally connected to the team's plight. Agent May still isn't doing it for me. Too deadpan. However, when (I'm assuming here) we find out the reason behind her "never loosen up attitue" it will probably make more sense.

I dunno. I certainly don't think it's the best show on tv. But it doesn't have to be. So far, it's been an enjoyable ride with characters I'm starting to enjoy more as the season goes on. The cameos and references are nice and the skydiving scene was one of the best so far in the series.

Season grade so far 4/5 stars.

For me it's just a lack of charm and charisma mixed in with mediocre acting/over acting, and corny lines/bad dialogue. I don't hate them, but they haven't engaged me in anyway until this last episode.

I find the rest of the team to be quite enjoyable.

Maybe I'm a week behind. The last one I've seen was with the Chitari virus. Don't see what was so good about it tbh. There's just not been one episode in the first quater of the season that I can say "that was frigging awesome". The highlight for me was probably the creation of Graviton, and that's just as a comic book Nerd. Don't see why your general audience would be excited by that.

I've praised Thor 2 more than most. And Avengers; Thor and Iron Man are amongst my top favorite comic book movies of all time. Doesn't mean I have to worship any crap Marvel studios comes out with. I've even given this show a chance week after week because I generally love Joss Whedon shows. But he seems to have lost his Mojo for this.

I'll look out for any major cameos and exceptionally well reviewed episodes. But aside from that wasting an hour every week in hopes of the show getting better isn't exactly the best use of my time.

If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it. My point is, it's starting to pick up the last couple episodes...so leaving now would be a bit premature on most people's accounts.
It sounds to me like you're just wanting to see superheroes all the time or cameos...that's not what the show is about. This was supposed to be a show about shield and how it handles threats on a normal "human" operating level. Expecting it to be anything else means you went in with the wrong expectations.

Personally, on a Tuesday night I don't have anything better to do for that hour, and I enjoy the show. Is it the best? No, but to me it's still fun to watch and it's starting to grow on me.

Well, as last week show showed us, when it takes itself seriously and sidelines Skye it is vastly more entertaining. Sadly, I don't think they are going to do that.

It's not so much Skye that's the issue, it's the focus. They have been too focussed on Skye as the audience's surrogate in the wacky world of SHIELD. Her relationship with Coulson, the spy-guy and with SHIELD's s.o.p. and then on top of that, her subversive activities with Rising Tide...

It was just too much of the show's focus being placed upon narratives and interactions central to one new character.

The Alphas approach was better, the traditional thing of having a bunch of characters come together, fight against some evil, then slowly each one has their back-story come to the fore as a bad-guy/new relationship/obstacle for the new group.

Oh and much much more Simmons. She's quite ... fascinating.

Hope they address the beast from the frost giants world running around london

Maybe I was expecting more super powered heroes to be around. But then I love Arrow and that hasn't displayed any superpowers up until now. So that's not a requirement for me to enjoy a comic book based tv series.

Ah well it's Friday night here, repeated on Saturday. The Graviton episode was still the best one for me. I'm sure when Whedon gives more time and focus to this it will vastly improve. The guy's a genius, just not sure where his genius has been hiding with this show thus far.

Man of Steel was also recieved 20 points higher by the audience than the critics...both MOS and Thor: The Dark World are much better films than rt critics make you think

did anyone read this article http://www.forbes.com/sites/merrillbarr/2013/11/11/agents-of-s-h-i-e-l-d-is-the-show-it-was-always-going-to-be/
good read.

I have now

agree with it too regarding people expecting it to be something else.

I was personally expecting an "Alphas" type show. I knew the team would be "Agents" with no powers, but I was also expecting regular cameos and help from super powered heroes, preferably with names we recognize.

Still that's not what the complaints are about. I think we were just expecting a better "quality" show from Whedon and Marvel studios. Something as entertaining as Arrow (which incidentally also has no super powered heroes so far).

But then to be fair, can't expect everything Marvel comes out with to be "the best thing ever!"

Laurel's super-power to suck the life out of the show, whenever she's on screen?

I was expecting something good (that is, much much better than Arrow ), what I've seen so far is mediocre, sometimes embarrassingly tedious and cliche and only in the last few episodes has it raised itself upto the dizzy heights of "fairly good".

They should ditch May, give Coulson either more friction with SHIELD or some more action and presence (his character is fairly laid-back anyway but with the near death experience he's become like a "Zen monk" or something, totally ill-suited to an action show), shove Skye to the periphery along with her action-man mentor, develop Fitz a little more and give Simmons prominence as the leading female on the show.

And then, sprinkle guys like Power Man, IF, DareDevil, Peter Parker, Black Widow, Ms Marvel and others in amongst the various arcs.

The latest episode, is pretty much exactly the type of show I expected MAOS to be. Very good, strong acting and action, decent amount of humour, broader SHIELD context and interaction, bureaucratic friction and lots of dark secrets.

Anyway, will look out for the episode.

Saffron Burrows isn't the hottest actress, it's true. Her Victoria Hand didn't have the drool factor Cobie Smulders brought to Maria Hill.

It's like Faith and (pre-Wicca) Willow...


The latest episode, is pretty much exactly the type of show I expected MAOS to be. Very good, strong acting and action, decent amount of humour, broader SHIELD context and interaction, bureaucratic friction and lots of dark secrets.

Yeah, the show seems to be picking up steam. I hope they keep it up.

I really liked the last episode. things are moving along nicely.

last night,......

this show has porn star quality acting and porn star quality writing.. I thought last week the writing was slightly improving however last night they regressed.

Joss Whedon as SHOWRUNNER needs to either fire the so called writers or simply take control of those duties.. Afterall he did find time to re write some of Thor The Dark World.

Skye is so useless, even Penelope from Criminal Minds is a far better hacker than she is. Also I constantly laughed out loud when they kept on saying "its classified"..

Calm down Bruce.

Anyone pick up the "he's acting like a robot version of himself" foreshadow?

Yes, the LMD thing was sort of 'suggested' by the first episode.

He has wounds and seems to have emotional scars too, so I'm guessing it's not an LMD, atleast I hope now.

I don't think it's too much of a stretch for SHIELD to be able to heal the injuries Loki inflicted.

Him being an LMD just for the sake of it would be kind of pointless. There has to be something more to it. You don't think they're hinting at him possibly being Vision?

Nah, I think that'd be risky, bearing in mind the possibility of there being a Vision in the next Avengers movie. You don't want to dampen the excitement with him appearing in MAOS for a few episodes.

Also, don't really think anything is specifically pointing that way, more like LMD (at the most) or just a poorly executed hinting of the internal turmoil going on as a result of his "near death experience".

LMD makes sense in that the others hint at him not knowing exactly what's happened to him, that he has less information than they do. It would be reasonable to go from there to the idea that they uploaded his brain pattern/conscience/mind into an LMD and he thinks he was in Tahiti recovering from the Loki-poky.

Hes been throwing a lot of hints in every show.

"im a bit rusty", "my iron level is a little high" etc

he also keeps saying "Tahiti is a magical place".

They can be going for a LMD/android/tech approach OR Dr Strange, Scarlet Witch, the ancient one or another magic user that could pave the way for the introduction of "magic". (being the way he was saved)

Its pretty obvious Dr. Strange healed coulson using magic

no it isn't since people tune out each week

Ok glad I watched 1 more. This was much better.

Shouldnt this thread be in the TV forum. You know, since its a TV show

Here is a sneak peak of the next episode, and it is directly tied to the aftermath of Thor: The Dark World...pretty neat. http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/180371-see-the-fallout-of-thor-the-dark-world-in-new-agents-of-shield-clip

Wow. I really enjoyed this episode!
The entire episode revolved around Asgardian lore/tech and it's effects on our culture and ourselves.... Seeing Ward "Hulk out" at the end, and finding out the Professor was actually an Asgardian himself....awesome. I was disappointed with Ward going for agent "I am a robot" May at the end; though, I suspect it may have had something to do with the staff....

Yeah, I think it might have been the best episode to date! See how current and in sync Marvel is, setting this right after the end of Thor: The Dark World, which opened only two weeks ago. Lots of cute wisecracks about Asgard needing to send the God Of Cleaning Up After Yourself for once, as SHIELD is cleaning up the ruins of Greenwich. Also relevant that it's a Norwegian Hate Group that got ahold of the Berserker staff; reminds me of that Norwegian extremist who was gunning down people there a couple of years ago, claiming his fascist stance was the tip of the iceberg.

Good episode. May's being given something to emote now. Which is good, since she's definitely going to be part of the crew. Less Skye = better .

Ward, even though he took centre stage, wasn't really interesting and his childhood trauma is sooooooo boring. Embarrassing, really.

Coulson and the biscuit was excellent stuff, Coulson's beginning to solidify all those vague hints at something being off...

Simmons ... not enough Simmons Nor Fitz, but mostly not enough Simmons.

Good stuff, enjoyed the new episode. More plotlines from the films and the cinematic universe should be tied into the series imo. Not necessarily the driving point of the episode, but at least with some kind of relevance.

May is a badass. Favourite member of the team. Simmons is growing on me lol I still don't care for Ward or Skye, her especially she grates on me pretty much everytime shes on screen. Ward I can tolerate because he can fight and has real uses to the group.

Yeah, Coulson should remember his place! Asgardians: "We're saving the universe constantly, puny mortals! We haven't the time to clean up your planet. Besides, you should see the damage to the realm eternal!"

Good episode I actually like MAOS but man does this show get hate on the net.

I like it, but I'm just saying that it could be so much better

What would you change/add to make it better?

Good episode. They need to keep the show at this level of entertainment.

if they did that then there would be nothing for us to complain about

this show continues to be written poorly.. Either Joss Whedon should fire himself or whoever the alleged writers are.. I nearly spit out my green tea that i was drinking when Skye said she didn;t believe people who could read minds/ move things with their minds doesn't exist.. Like hello you twit the battle of New York, Extremis which has been mentioned all throughout previous episodes, just last week with the Thorcentric episode.. still porn star quality acting .. no wonder people tuned in to watch Rudoplh last night

ratings is up that's good.

Originally posted by BruceSkywalker

honestly why are you even watching this show?

Show continues to get better
watch out DC

I don't know about ratings. SHEILD just started off really high with ratings whilst Arrow did not iirc. But I terms of Quality, Arrow's so far ahead of this show it's ridiculous.

Why when anyone talks about MAOS people always bring up and compare it to Arrow what does Arrow have to do with shield? This happen all over the internet. Are they even the same type of show?

Read the comment I was quoting.

Arrow is the big DC show on atm.

It's the same reason people going on about how lame DC heroes are on the big screen on a Thor movie thread.

So you retaliate by say how lame marvel show or on tv got it, don't really care about marvel vs dc bs. I watch them both I like them both.

Lol was hardly a retaliation. If someone was putting Marvel characters down I'd respond the same. Just nowadays seems to be a lot of DC hate going around. But fact is I'm not that impressed with SHIELD. Found it a bit of a disappointment tbh. So SHIELD fans saying "DC better watch out," sounds kind of laughable to me.

But surprisingly I've checked and SHIELD had more viewers than Arrow. Even though Arrow's supposed to be the most watched show on CW I believe.

Cool same here. But I actually want them to compete so we get better shows and movies.

Can we all get back on track please....

Anyway, last episode was pretty awesome. Good humor (not as over the top as it's been) and an interesting plot.

Seeing May finally show some personality was cool too. All in all a very good episode and interested to see what the next one has in store.

Saw this but its silly and to be honest Vishu does look like what we think and alien would look like ( she is blue with four arms).

Show's more like what I was originally expecting of it now. Sort of like Alphas, but with the agents being non-super powered themselves of course.

Still feel they need to put effort into making the characters more lovable. And this show could also do with a good ongoing villain and plot (something more that just "what happened to Coulson?".
