Agents of SHIELD

[dune_drd]

I phased out of so many fandoms, I don't even watch much TV at all nowadays. I resist the constant nagging of the BF to start Breaking Bad and German public broadcasting has overtaken me with Sherlock (oh, the shame). I just can't seem to muster enough strength to keep track at all. Much easier to still binge on Avengers fic and old Iron Man comics

But....but.... bingeing is so much *better* than having to wait weeks on end for new material!

I did follow Agents of Shield as it was broadcast, but it only really got *good* around the time the Cap movie came out, IMO. Before that, it was sort of average. The references to the Cap movie were very well done, but I feel they could have done more with the other movie references. Let's see what they do next series :-)

(Also I binged on another TV show this week -- all three series of it. Admittedly series of 13 episodes max each, but still. For staying in a storyline, it's an awesome way to watch. To maximise excitement, maybe not, though)

Yeah the problem with 22 episodes is that some shows tend to lose the plot and only find it again before the finale - I actually thought AOS was a classical example for that. Instead, they did a Farscape and incorporated all the McGuffin/Monster of the Week stories into that plot Cap II shoved onto them - I love how they handled it. Especially because you notice from time to time that Whedon is apparently now allowed to do whatever the fuck he wants (making a major character downright Evil only lasted for the pilot of Buffy, for example), plus, you know, getting all his old peers new jobs ;-) I really hope they'll get Fillon to do Captain Hammer ^^

YOU ARE ONE OF US NOW.

I feel the lesson of season one is that if Maria draws a little poop with knives sticking out of it, that's generally a bad sign. And monkeys are good. And Phil is adorable.

The main thing I take from that season is that a) Hill is on first name basis with Stark (they are SO shagging - WE NEED RDJ ONSCREEN NAO) and b) Coulson's undercover persona is Clark Gregg. Seriously, whenever Coulson's undercover, he just puts on glasses and pretends to be Gregg.

Also, still the biggest Cap fanboy ever. I loled.

I know, but she's all bitchy gossip phone talk with Pepper as well. I think OT3.

There was a period of about seven episodes, between the episode where she accidentally called him an 'old man' and the one where she meets Triplett, that I firmly believe Simmons was having sex dreams about Coulson.

I am pretty sure while Maria tells everyone she was employed by Stark for her 'information age skills' or whatever, she actually has Pepper's old job as PA. I think Tony's masochistic enough to need someone silent/deadly in that position. And let's be honest, after Natasha, that job basically requires OT3 to happen.

In that train episode in Italy I had the really, really strong impression she was developing a Daddy Kink with Coulson. I wonder if Coulson develops a thing for Triplett, though, I mean where does all that fanboying lead? ^^

Oh, I loved it... watched it when it came out in the US and then officially in the UK... where I recorded all the episodes... I was hooked and yes, it gets better after the link up with Cap America 2. After that film I did a re-watch and wrote PAGES of foreshadowing etc...

I recently mainlined Longmire S2 after S1 finished on UK TV and I found out S3 was starting in the UK...
