:D Yay!! Another week of incessant ramblings on how cheap this show looks. ;)

Nah, I think more people will bitch about the contrived and overdone plot this time around.

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Let the bitching begin.

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

No one better not say nothing negative about my superheroes show! :mad:

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Should I start bitching now or after the episode airs?

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

It's just a superhero show. It doesn't have to be good.

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Isn't this the Skye-centric episode? It could be brilliant IF watched on mute.

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

I already own the Dark Knight trilogy and the two new Star Trek films. I hope tonight's episode is better than those.

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

This episode will be better than the previous one and that one was better than the previous one before that.
Can't wait !

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Holy fuck this show is awful.

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

I just flipped it to ABC since my wife loves Goldbergs and I saw the very last scene in tonight's episode. Was that something to do with the Silver Surfer at the very end? I'll go back and watch the entire episode after this goes off.

Was it ANY better than the first two? Please give me hope.

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Based on the comments every week, I'm glad I decided to sit this show out. ;)

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Yes. Yes it is.

I've tried to withhold judgment, but holy shitballs is it just bad.

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Objectively, I don't see how anyone can defend it at this point.

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Yes, the show IS terrible. Mainly, I think, because of the idiotic, moronic british scientists. They just drag everything down. I couldn't get into the show because I kept getting distracted by their constant whining and weakness. I really don't think I'll keep watching the show because of them. There are plenty of other shows that aren't annoying, cheap, and boring.

I wonder how long it will take the team, and Coulsen himself, to find out that that's not really Coulsen.....

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Until it has actual superheroes in it, it's not a superhero show. A little technological bug that gives people strength just doesn't cut it.

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

I didn't see this because I was unexpectedly away and apparently have not set up a pass on my Tivo for the show. It sounds like it was no big loss. I'll try to be back next week...

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

I liked it. I like all of the characters except for Agent Ward so far. I don't hate the character I just hope he gets better. I do hope that after we get some back story for each character that they introduce a long running arc for the season kind of like what Whedon did for Buffy and Angel. Have stand alone episodes that play into a larger season long story.

re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

I thought the episode was pretty uneven overall. First half was boring and my mind was starting to wander. Second half was much better.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Skye running, all wet in Red dress ... boobies :drool:

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Exactly what I thought, too.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

A Superhero show without the "Super."

This episode was a dud.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

This episode wasn't a dud. It was pretty good.

A lot of people forget how many shows started off rather uninspired only to become really good later on. This is pretty good, and it's setting up some stuff that could pay off in some very good episodes later on.

I'm enjoying the series so far. Episodes 2 & 3 were better than the pilot.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Took every word I was going to type.

I had a good time watching the show tonight and last weeks was much better than the Pilot.

What can I say, I have fun watching the series. I like it because it is not like anything else on TV.

I do not need another one hour "Drama" TV show, there are tons of those already on.

Sometimes I just need a show that is fun and this is it. It is also cool to have part of Marvel comics on TV.

I am hooked.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Master Obi-Wan is correct on the ending.

Image of who it is:

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

I enjoyed this episode more than last weeks and I enjoyed last weeks more than the Pilot. At this rate, the season finale should be Dark Knight epic.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

You might also try Power Rangers sometime.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

That was my initial assertion as well, but Obi-Wan Jabroni has shed proper light.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

My son said that this show gives off a Torchwood vibe. Can't vouch for that but I've got the show just a notch above unwatchable at this point.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

I fell asleep on the first half hour. Guess I'll go back and finish.

Or at least Heroes season 4 finale 'epic.'

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

ditto!

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Another decent week, I'll keep watching mainly because I don't have any conflicts and its just decent/good enough to stay on my DVR.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

In the previews for this episode you could clearly see her dress lift up and flash some panties when she jumped into the pool yet in the actual episode her nether regions were darkened so as to obscure said dainties. And yes, I am the official panty patrol for "Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. -- Now with Extra Punctuation."

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

What they did for broadcast was cut to a long shot right when her dress billowed up. The promo shot stayed on her as she jumps off the balcony so you got a good shot of her panties (under panty hose). So what was broadcast was her balcony leap from behind her then cut to her in the distance with dress billowing up. It's an interesting edit. Did they purposely edit the promo that way to pull in viewers with some light T&A? Or did they change it for broadcast at the last minute?

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

Nah. Torchwood is fun and interesting.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

God I hope there isn't anything as silly as the ferry boat scene in this show.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

I think that's the season cliffhanger.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D -- "The Asset" -- 10/08/13
 

It's not riveting television but I like it enough so far to stick with it. That said, Coulson going on a covert field mission in a suit and tie really bothered me.
