Wednesday Morning Thoughts

Sep 25, 2013 10:32

I’m still trying to sort out my feelings about all of the TV I crammed into my brain last night, which is, for the record:

• Brooklyn Nine-Nine
• Agents of SHIELD
• New Girl
• Person of Interest
• Chicago Fire
Tuesdays are going to kill me. Mostly because those are all shows I like to watch right away (with the exception of AoS, maybe) and now they ( Read more... )

chicago fire, poi, avengers, agents of shield, new girl

I liked Agents of SHIELD -- and you're right, not as good as I'd hoped, but not as bad I'd feared. I watched with one of my housemates and while she hasn't seen any of the Marvel movies, she was able to follow along pretty well, so they did a good job with that ( ... )

The Great Responsibility line just about made me cry with laughter because it is the PERFECT mockery of Tobey Maguire-era Spider-Man. And now I'm imagining an entire room full of Coulson clones, just hanging on racks. And also, the Clint/Coulson shippers just went mad with glee, thinking of all of the threeway potential in that theory.

Oh, the Marvel product placement. It was rather fantastic. I was happy to get the Thor commercial, though. It had some great Jane in it and I loves me some Jane Foster.

And yeah, FitzSimmons were talking fast and hard to understand. But I think I need to watch the show again if I'm going to write the fic where Simmons repeatedly almost kills the team with her enthusiasm over science.

I was fully expecting Coulson to say something to Simmons about her "dripping with gamma radiation" comment. :)

If this doesn't somehow end with Simmons getting infected by something either awesome or horrifying, I'm going to think Whedon is slipping.

"No more mentions of Natasha and Ward in the same sentence, as NATASHA IS CLEARLY SUPERIOR WHAT THE FUCK EVEN"

OMG, THIS!

Clark Gregg being happy all the time was fun. And getting more Maria! Love. And the case could set up interesting future episodes, which is all you can really ask for in a pilot.

We're going to come back on Wednesday morning and kibitz about whether or not the show got better and if Coulson is just happy all the time, right? Right?? :)

hufflepuffsneak September 29 2013, 23:02:16 UTC

Yes! Of course :)

THE GREATEST.

my sister mentioned this as have a few other people and Lola was actually flying on StarkTech-the hoverthingies that we see in Captain America at the Stark Enterprises demo (when the car starts to hover and then short circuits). Given that Howard Stark worked for SHIELD (or at least the SSR and then it was transferred to SHIELD) post-war in the 'Agent Carter' short. So that was a nice little thing (at least it was for me).

And I agree with you, no more comparing Ward to Natasha-she could kick his butt before he even knew she was there.

I think that Coulson knows "Tahiti" wasn't "Tahiti", it would be out of character if he didn't. Rewatched that scene today and when he was talking with Hill it looked to me that his expression was daring Maria and the Doctor (who was Shepard Book in Firefly) to contradict him. But I haven't heard anything about Coulson being a Life Model Decoy...that's an interesting theory though!

Oh, you make an interesting point about Coulson knowing about Tahiti or whatever it is, but I don't know if I would agree if it's out of character. Frankly, this character isn't one we've seen get much screentime, so I wouldn't really know what's in character and what's not. I mean, we've got Clark Gregg's interviews and the minimal screentime, but I do think Coulson was a character that was adopted by fandom and I don't think fandom vs. canon Coulson is remotely the same person. I mean, I guess we'll get to see more of him now that he's the main character of AOS, so that should solve things...but I'd rather get to know Natasha as a character more than Coulson, so I'm still going to sulk a little in the corner. :)

Oh, I didn't even catch that Lola was the Howard Stark technology. I like that. It makes me find the car a tiny bit less cliche.

All of this said, I had a dream last night that Maria Hill was on the show full time and it made my day start off really well. Today is gonna be awesome.

agreed, fannon!Coulson vs. cannon!Coulson will be vastly different so it should be interesting to see how he develops. Speaking of Natasha-it would make logical sense for her and Clint to pop up/be mentioned since they're actually SHIELD agents whereas the rest of the Avengers aren't (this is coming from a post on Tumblr where someone wants all the Avengers to show up in an episode...something that I don't think will happen but it's nice to dream about)

Well they announced that Maria is going to pop up again so YAY for that! :D
