The show started off meh but it's been getting better with each episode. The last episode I thought was ok. I'm still looking forward to where the show is headed though.

I don't watch AoS, to be perfectly honest. Only because I have to be somewhere on Tuesdays. Arrow on the other hand, I am HOOKED to that show. Freaking love it. Maybe if AoS ever gets on Netfilx (which is how I got caught up on the first season of Arrow) I will catch up and watch the present episodes I miss online? Who knows...

Jk, but honestly I miss heroes. It had soooo much potential to become a universe of its own. But that writer's strike really flagged up everything. I'm more interested in seeing how the marvel netflix shows turn out. Can't wait to see Daredevil, Luke Cage and Iron Fist!! :D

Maybe if this show did use the A-Team theme I'd watch it.

Tried watching the show but I can'get into it. The show should feel more like the South Korean series IRIS but instead it just doesn't have enguaging characters and interesting enough plots to keep me watching.

Yea, Heroes was great in the beginning.
MightyZeus
MightyZeus - 11/22/2013, 3:42 PM
I'm kidding. It's not rubbish. The show's okay and at least it has an audience which is a good thing. However the show so far isnt for me. I just prefer shows that take it's characters, tone and it's environment seriously.

It's a pretty good show. Tonights episode was really good, it picked up.

"It's that bad?"

Imo nope but there's room for improvement. Some people tend to over-exaggerate here, I think you should watch it and judge it on and judge it on it's own merits.

It's.... pretty bad. But it's getting a little better so I'm still watching it for now. Arrow is freaking awesome though! Season 2 is just insane

I'm sorry but Arrow>>>>>>>AOS(hit) Arrow actually has a structured narrative and the odd villain in each episode. the perfect combination.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. It seems that the only people who hate AOS (a CB show) are CB fans

I think the show has been great since Simmons almost died but it was pretty awful before that.

That A-team credits bit was genius.

Just replace Ward with someone who isn't carved out of wood, and maybe make the actress who plays Skye improve on he acting skills, and then you'll have a damn good show.

MCott - 11/22/2013, 3:56 PM
You know, as far as elements of the show goes, Melinda May (played by Ming-Na Wen) is actually a cool character.

Show is okay, but getting worse, not better in my opinion. Only reason I continue to watch is for Easter Eggs, references, etc....

This thread is about Agents of Shield. What does Arrow have to do with any of this? smh
TheOnlyFanOfSentry
TheOnlyFanOfSentry - 11/22/2013, 4:01 PM
@ everyone,

Just to clarify i don't hate this show, it's just very weak in comparison to Arrow. given yes the episode with Simmons almost dying was good, not great; but it did have some good acting from some of the lesser actors. but then again in comparison to what i thought of arrow at this stage in it's production was that it was quite poor. so i'm all ears for AOS improving, which no doubt it can.

It's not rubbish. It started way below average and now it's getting watchable. There's still a long way to go, but at least it's getting better, so there is hope.

@Pasto I agree... the show is alright... i think the casting is weak. They should just kill off Simmons (she's annoying and is not believable) and bring in someone new. Also the Fitz and Simmons scenes get awfully incestuous which is super uncomfortable to watch. No brother and sister EVER act like that, no matter how close, and if they do its because the brother is gay.

Like honestly if the team was lead by Cobie Smulders instead of Clark Gable this show would be a hit!

I enjoy the Hell out of this show and I wish I could figure out why some of the readers here even bother. I've been hoping for decent comic book adaptations since I first watched the Spider-Man series and Daredevil (dressed in black) guest star in a Hulk TV event.

THOSE SUCKED!!!! AOS does not. I think there are quite a few of you on here that will never be satisfied with anytdamnthing. I also think you should get another hobby. Unless, of course, bitching and moaning and complaining about every comic themed TV show or movie that comes out makes you feel like some kind of cool, smart, hipster or something. If that's the case, then keep doing what you're doing.

If not...watch something else.

Needs to draw from the vast Marvel Universe and get some lower tier costumed villians... Stilt Man, Trapster, Ringmaster, Boomerang, Shocker, Silvermane, Madame Masque, Ani-Men, & Speed Demon just to name a few. Even though acting is pretty stiff, as long as the story is interesting enough it could work (does anyone remember the first season of X-Files).

Lol!! Love these comments! Can't say that I've been really keeping up with the show. Missed the last 2 episodes.

LittleDanglyThing - 11/22/2013, 4:21 PM
Also I'm falling in love with AoS and I hate when that happens with a show that Joss will randomly direct at any given time to kill my favorite character(s).
Also, Simmons is gorgeous as all hell.
