Looking forward to this

[JD74]

Ive just been looking on line (Geektown etc) but there is no UK air date at the moment, at a guess we are probably looking the new year.

How are they going to explain Coulson being alive? Or are they not?

I dont think you see him die? I'm sure there's a medic who runs over to him with the defibrillator machine

They showed his collectors cards covered in blood didnt they?.They will just explain it as they needed to pull the team together

[Stu Monty]

Got a feeling it might be a poorer but better looking heroes.

In the film the cards are in the locker.

So did anyone carry on watching this? Please tag spoilers too if so!

 

Watched a few episodes in 2013 and didn't fully get into it, but didn't give it enough of a chance either. Have just sat and watched 8 episodes though to get to 12 and it does get a lot better. A bit of a slow starter, but am liking it quite a lot now.

What they did to Coulson was fucking gruesome too, to keep him alive. Not sure of the fuller details of that or if it'll be explained further, but am hoping that happens.

 

Skye has just been told some of her history as well, but that also looks like it's going to take time to be revealed properly. Oh and I go to check how to spell her name on wiki and have it confirmed what it was kind of already saying. That's really fucking cool actually, can't wait to get back to learning more. And I didn't see that coming at all.

 

 

Not sure how many more episodes I can take before needing a rest, but can already feel it getting hard to stop watching. Saying that though there's only a season and a half of it so far, so it won't last too long to get up to date. If there's one thing I loathe though it's waiting for each episode to arrive normally, so am just going to enjoy watching at my own pace while I can!

 

Also :

Seeing it the other way around; some of this first, then seeing Coulson die in Avengers when watching it recently, that was fucking baffling. Glad it's mostly resolved after seeing more of this.

[skend04]

I've been watching. The second season is much improved and should be back on soon after its mid season break.

[Koptimus Prime]

Deffo kicked up a notch the last series, thinks its back on week after next.

 

Added a couple more fit birds which always helps like.

[RedKnight]

Once they stopped doing villain of the week, and didn't rely so much on the movies for storytelling, it improved greatly. Adding Adrianne Palicki is never a bad thing either.

[Red Phoenix]

Have just worked my way through 13 episodes now, and yeah it's consistently getting better. It's just crossed over with the timeline of The Winter Soldier, so also really glad I just saw that. It definitely helps make a lot more sense of what's actually going on beyond where the characters are.

My two main questions are still (not asking anyone here, just saying, hoping to find out by watching.)

 

Where does Skye actually come from, and who/what was it that was used to heal herself and Coulson? Both questions are getting at me quite a bit, so might try to stay awake and watch the rest of the episodes in this season at least.

 

But yeah, really glad I decided to start watching it again now.

[Red Phoenix]

Just watched the end of season 1, thought it was great. The thing I liked the best though was the ending, the way it's been set up for the next season. It usually bugs me any type of cliffhanger, but the way that left off, just fucking brilliant.

 

Suppose I'd be gutted if I had to wait actually, but looking forward to seeing what's next. Only thing that bugs me is that I can't go through the next season at the speed that I want to, but will start catching up later on.

That very last scene with Coulson was just brilliant though, can't wait to know what race/intelligence is behind that! And he's now the man to restart Shield from scratch, which is also perfect. Gives so much room to do things from the start of season 2.

[Strontium]

I watched the last few episodes of series 2 before the mid-season break last night. It starts up again soon. It definitely found its feet half way through the first series. It also helps that they've started introducing a few more characters from the comic books, when you have such a rich and established mythos at your disposal, you ought to take full advantage of it. There's one moment in a park in the first episode of season 2 that cheered my inner nerd.

[Red Phoenix]

Adding Adrianne Palicki is never a bad thing either.

 

She just joined the team in the last episode I watched, am trying to think of a word to describe how nice I think she is, but I'm not really getting anywhere. I was wondering who you meant ever since seeing your post, and as soon as she appeared I was thinking something like "yeah....that's probably her." (whilst feeling kind of hypnotized by her looks at the same time.)

 

Wow.

 

Still no answers to the two main questions I have, but at least things look like they're getting closer now. Have 5 episodes left then I'm waiting for the next with the rest of you.

[Red Phoenix]

Have got myself a new favourite gif now too : http://i.imgur.com/COyZ9ax.gif

[REDTALISKER]

Not yet (if ever) on UK TV but I would highly recommend the Agent Carter mini series they were showing in the break. 

[Red Phoenix]

Pretty big headfuck at the end of episode 10, but glad we only have to wait a couple of days to see what happens next. And also glad that one of my two questions got answered!

I'm guessing that finding out who/what Skye is will take quite a while longer though.

[Red Phoenix]

Didn't realize that the answer to the other question I had was already known for some time. If I'd been more familiar with the Marvel universe would've known.

 

Warning! The following content is NOT WORK SAFE. Click the Show button to reveal.

I thought "Inhuman" was a term Shield had come up with to class certain beings until they were identified better at a later point in time, have just found out that they're actually a race in the universe. Also found out that what they were exposed to in the last episode was Terrigen Mist.

 

Another thing that's going to happen is that, and this is definitely a spoiler about what's to come, so avoid this if you'd rather just find out normally :

A character is going to be added that will help Skye learn about who she is. He's also going to be an Inhuman. More on that is here at Marvel's site : http://marvel.com/news/tv/24049/marvels_agents_of_shield_adds_luke_mitchell

 

And it's doing my head in waiting, glad I didn't have to wait months though. Will probably read some Avengers comics or something until I can get the next episode early wednesday morning.

[Sweeney287]

I really enjoy this show and it has some lovely ladies in it to boot.

 

What a great mix.

[Red Phoenix]

Just saw the last episode. I liked it, but it's probably going to take a while until Skye adapts to who she is now, and I just hope it doesn't drag out for long. I'll be happier when :

She has help from another like her and can start to get control of who she is now. At that point she should be able to use her powers to help Shield in their missions, and if so it'll make the whole thing a lot more interesting.

 

Not that it isn't interesting already, just saying.

 

edit - Am going to have to try and get this to find out more of the history of what's going on. It might save me from going mad as this story develops over the next few weeks : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Inhumans-Paul-Jenkins-Jae-Lee/dp/0785184740/

 

Ah, have just found out that there's 4 volumes of Inhumans (the link above is vol 2), so waiting for this shouldn't be so hard now.

 

edit 2 : Finally! Have just found out what character she's turning into. I'll leave posting it because it just seems too spoilerish (those familiar enough will have already known for ages.) if anyone really wants to know and can't find the answers, will put it in tags in another post (or someone else will.)

[Red Phoenix]

Sorry, it's completely easy to find out what character she is from comic books. The only reason I didn't know was because as I'd started watching this again from near the start of season 1 the other day, had avoided reading up on any wiki pages, etc, in fear of spoilers.

[Red Phoenix]

Seems to be getting a lot better this now, although I think Skye being lost when it comes to her abilities might get dragged out a bit too long. I still like the way the story is developing for the most part though, and liked the most recent episode.
