AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 02 '0-8-4' Poll & Discussion

IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!

not without flaws but much much better than the pilot. 8/10

Ward is boring. My only complaint. Die Ward. Die.

Watching it now. Not bad so far.

I loved the episode. I thought the character development really grew this episode. Give them one or two more missions and they'll be able to play off each others skills and really make a bad ass TV show that can lead into other Marvel movies. All the characters grew on me after last nights episode, even Ward. Looking forward to the third ep.

Needs more Coulson. I do enjoy the interplay of Fitz-Simmons. I agree Ward is extremely dull, but that is how he is written thusfar. More troubling is the other two female characters: I don't enjoy the performances of the actress who plays Melinda May; and the Skye character is...well...more of a stretch in believability than the superheroes.

here's how I view it :
Instead of fans having down time between Marvel Universe films Feige, Marvel and Whedon are giving us an appetizer of a build up to Avengers 2. It won't be necessary to have watched SHIELD to understand the sequel but for fans its a way to travel along with the timeline. First episode was very AIM related, second episode very HYDRA related which for the fans will pay off in 2014 for Captain America 2 which is set 2 years after the battle of New York and in 2015 for Age of Ultron which ultimately I believe we will get a super powered villain squad to take on the Avengers in the first act of the movie leading to Ultron's creation and threat.
Maybe the series won't be as good as FIREFLY or BUFFY but SHIELD at least is serving its purpose which is giving us something to do while we wait for the Avengers sequel. If WB and DC start to kind of do that with ARROW it would make the build up to Justice League sweeter. Batman vs Superman needs no build- EVERYONE is going to see that.

Elguason no need for comments we know you have started a golden globe campaign. Put a marvel sticker on a pile of turds and you would ask for seconds. Smh

I'm really starting to like this show!

@marcel just because you don't like this show doesn't means you ruin the experience for everyone else i personal like this show I feel it's a very good show i can't wait to see what happens in next week's episode

Obviously the best part was the Fury cameo.
Hope he had more appearances.

The show is real good,good story,action & the characters are good.
That's the problem..it's only good. I expected better.

There are more shows to improve & hopefully reach "great" status.

I am calling it now that the way they keep repeating Tahiti is magical it will have something to do with Dr Strange .

Tahiti is a magical place

And of course Rising Tide is HYDRA. Skye likely doesn't know that. Her speech about 100 people have 1% of the answer (mulitple heads of the mythological Hydra)reads out of the HYDRA handbook. The Hydra rising from the tide.

A.K.A. Jessica Jones didn't get green lit, so Skye is the backup. She is Jessica Drew. 95% certainty.

A better episode ..... It's getting better

Plus the humor wasn't forced in this one

I like Melinda though


"She is the cavalry"

More thoughts:

For this show to work, they need to delve into to inner workings of SHIELD a bit more. The agency is set up in the movies as an organization that can't be trusted. I'm hoping the team starts to question the group they work for.

I also hope we soon fast forward a few months to when the characters are already a well-oiled team. Getting to know about the in-between adventures in measured bits and pieces is part of the fun of a good ensemble show. Seeing their growing pains? Not so much fun.

Fitz and Simmons need to go. Far away. They should have been shot off with Slingshot.
