If this was set in the Marvel Universe, Wolverine and Spider-Man would be on the team. And the women would be showing major cleavage.

And if Christ Claremont was writing it, the women would spend half of their screen time naked.

I am certain the Clairvoyant will be someone from the movies.

I was thinking Mentallo. Former SHIELD agent, worked for both Hydra and AIM. Even had a Deathlok once (so the Mike Peterson rumors/theory would fit). Like Blizzard and Graviton, he's a big enough character that comic readers will recognize him, but not too big where the show has to worry about stepping on the movies's toes.

Samuel Sterns aka The Leader. It works and would be awesome.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - "Seeds" - 1/14/14

The Leader does make a certain amount of sense; I don't think they're planning on making any more Hulk movies, so that's a one dangling plot thread they could run with.

I could also see Mark Ruffalo putting in a guest appearance as Banner. (Though having the Hulk appear would probably blow the budget.)

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - "Seeds" - 1/14/14

That'd be cool. I don't think Tim Blake Nelson would turn down the gig.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - "Seeds" - 1/14/14

Judging by many of the posts here, people are WAY too familiar with the comics for this show to really appeal to them. Not a bad thing, I was big in comics 25 years ago, so everything is pretty much fresh to me in this show. Maybe why I enjoy it more than many

This was one of the better episodes

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - "Seeds" - 1/14/14

Chloe Bennet ("Skye") was on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. She said it was her first late night talk show appearance. I thought she was great--very charming and natural. Jimmy made mention of her previous career as a pop star in China, so I had to look it up:

And would narrate everything they do, as I know type this tremendous text with my clicking keyboard on my mid-priced PC in my parents' house in the cold of the winter with white snow upon the ground.

I read today that Paul Lee expects Agents of Shield to be around for years to come.

Sounds like they have way too much invested in this project to not keep it going.

Yeah, well, they may, but that depends on the ratings.

Did it even get renewed? If it did, you're right, I don't see it as lasting past that second season unless it knocks everyone's socks off and the ratings skyrocket.

Re: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - "Seeds" - 1/14/14

Two Marvel characters are coming to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ... one we've seen before and one we've speculated about:

Cool. :up:

It would be a favor to the Marvel brand, but I expect it to get renewed by ABC. They don't want the stink of failure on their billion-dollar movie franchise brand.
