Post Cap 2 question

I wish the new episode was On Demand early.

Watching this episode now. I watched Thor last night (taking the girlfriend through all the Marvel movies since she said she liked Iron Man but hadn't seen the rest) and noticed another movie character that is on the show. Agent Sitwell

guess that means I'm going tomorrow instead of next week

Troy Stiffler

Yea. Tomorrow morning for me. For sure.

Maybe the movie's not in between (because I can't imagine there being a lot of time passing between the two episodes), but it's at least concurrently.


So yeah, see it. Jed Whedon said so.

I'm with you ... So much spinning there that I am dizzy now.

I'm glad the show has "gotten good" and I will come back with a binge-watch (I always intended to). However ...

"Now they have found their core audience ..." I call BULLSHIT. You don't create a comic book based show thinking your core audience just might be the same as Desperate Housewives. Like PhantomStranger said: you tried something, you fucked up and it sucked. Now you are recovering and that is a good thing.

The other piece of that article which is complete crap is the stuff about "having to take the first several episodes to build a believable world that fits." No spoilers here, but Captain America 2 does just that without needing 7 hours of lead in. Of course it takes place in the MCU, but it felt like a different world. It was the first film which I feel was also a "believable" story in our world today. It hit the ground running and didn't suffer one bit.

Just got back from Captain America.

yeah the whole dynamics of this show are going to change dramatically now if they are going to stay true to next week's episode as a direct follow up.

Why So Blu?

Just saw the preview for the new episode and it looks to take place during or after the events of Winter Soldier. They're calling it "Uprising."

I've yet to see an episode of Agents of SHIELD, though.

Think of it this way: you're not a loser for giving up on it!

I'm still a loser anyway, so that doesn't make feel any better .

Thrush

They have to keep reminding the audience how amazing she is lest they realize her character is completely superfluous and serves no purpose other than to look bemused with her mouth open.

I also think Paxton's energy would be a much better fit as the leader of the team than Coulsen.

"Uprising" is an event that has been going on for the last 2-3 episodes.

Why So Blu?

I would not have known that. I just saw bits and pieces of it and I think Bill Paxton is in it, too. Some of what was being said in the episode had the direct link to Winter Soldier.

mikehunt

wow. the events in the movie will definitely shake up the show. I won't post any spoilers but I will recommend seeing the movie. It's worth fighting the crowds

I read that the changes have not helped the Ratings. How is this going to make it another season?

ddrknghtrtns

Be bold and kill off most of the lame cast at the end of the season and have Samuel L. Jackson join the show as a part time regular. For the next season, they could have the Howling Comandoes from the first Cap movie come back as clones. Just my 2cents. Have they even hinted at Scorpio yet?

Jackskeleton

All they have to do is make it closer to the Secret Warriors stories that came out a few years ago and bam, you got yourself some really interesting post Cap 2 television right there.

Unfortunately, my wife had surgery on her back this past week, and we will not be seeing Cap in the theaters. We are avid AOS fans, so all we want to know is the bare minimum going into the next episode (not seeing it is NOT an option). Anyone who has seen Cap want to help? (Spoiler tags, please, in consideration of others).

DJariya

Very basic:

Troy Stiffler

I don't really see it changing much. For the most part, they were keeping the scale relatively small (the lack of an epic scope I think turns off some people). I bet they keep the jet and everything. Operations go more covert, without much surveillance.

Cap 2 Spoiler



They can keep doing their thing, and perusing Hydra followers.

Will the show start getting more cosmic with Guardians of the Galaxy? Right now, there is the unexplained serum that saved Coulson and Skye.

Orbi-Wan Techno

Thanks, enough of a catch-up to watch the episode, and left enough out that we will still enjoy Winter Soldier when the time comes.

BTW, I have read that on April 15, the episode Turn, Turn, Turn, and the next episode Providence will be shown back-to-back. Adjust your DVRs accordingly.

Obi-Wanma

If my DVR works the way it's supposed to, I shouldn't have to adjust anything.

As we mentioned, if The Clairvoyant was eliminated in The Winter Soldier, it's a total cop out and undoes all the positive changes made within the past few episodes.

As this episode proved, someone in S.H.I.E.L.D. is The Clairvoyant. There's still a lot of questions left to be answered (such as who May has been talking to on the encrypted line).
