2nd episode was better than the 1st. My only hope is that it hits the same heights that Buffy, Firefly and Angel did, as opposed to becoming the train wreck that was Dollhouse.

I feel like I've been watching her in one thing or another for decades, yet she hasn't aged a day.

Shes coming up fast on the cliff.

Really enjoyed the second episode, has a much better story and organization than the first episode.

C.a.s.h.c.o.w

Lame attempt to draw Avengers crowds with a TV show based in the same universe but featuring no Avengers. Laughed when I first heard the commercial. Will not watch.

And agent Coulson is alive? Really? A whole catastrophic comic book hero feature and the one real casualty wasn't even a casualty? Talk about no cajones.

That's the biggest problem. If they would just keep to the source material and leave dead characters dead like they do in the comic books.

Maybe... maybe not. There is something about Coulson that Coulson doesn't know per the first episode. I think it's that he's a Life Model Decoy (basically an android that looks, acts, believes itself to be, and thinks like the person it's modeled after).

Yeah, it seems pretty obvious that Coulson isn't really the Coulson from the movies.

Which is a totally Marvel thing to do.

That's what I like about the show, nothing appears to be what it seems.

And the more you know about the comics might be detrimental to you.

Hmm more fun facts... Chloe Bennet () who plays Skye is actually half Chinese and changed her name from Chloe Wang. Her previous career choice before acting was wannabe pop star in China.

Sadly she didn't have access to S.H.I.E.L.D's auto tune device at the time which lead to this awesome ditty:

I like the Skye character. Chloe Bennett delivers the snarky dialogue pretty well.

Today's episode was a major improvement over the first two. The characters are starting to come together.

Show is more exposition heavy than I am used to, though.

Yeah the third episode was a clear improvement over the first two, seemed like an actual starting point for something rather than just setup. I liked both Hall and Quinn.

Skye and Coulson are still pretty much holding things together on the Shield side. (May is cool but doesn't really do much.)

Ward especially is just such a stock character, and doesn't really seem to have room to go to grow to anything interesting. I hope they come up with a properly Marvely solution to that

I really liked last nights episode. It had some great dialogue especially with Skye

Do you have the guts to pull the trigger?

Nope

Great throw away line.

The action was good.

The Villain was really good, but is he the villian.

I liked the ending scene in the vault, sets up for an interesting character.

Coulson is a bright spot, he just plays the role really well. The muscle memory with the gum and the I must be rusty thing are really nice pieces of foreshadowing.

Series was off to a slightly rocky start but I'm starting to like the series. Characters are starting to develop and lots of little plot points that could turn into future interesting storypoints.

I'm amazed they have the budget to do the scenes they are doing right now. Chase scene mayhem is usually reserved for much bigger budget movies. Really hoping they didn't just spend the budget trying just to draw in the initial crowd.

I loved the truck being flung into the air and the driver muttering that he couldn't explain it.

I also love that they added a slap of Grey to Shield last night.

Everyone in my family likes this show so far no complaints. Cheesy sure but it is comic book based escapism. Writing and plots are simple but there really is nothing like it on network TV.
Maybe that Sleepy Hollow more creepy but again pure escapism fantasy.
I like the humor of Coulson just like from the Ironman's and The Avengers movie.
The looks of Chloe Bennet is worth tuning into alone

The show is not awful, but it's super cheesy and campy. It'll air it's first season but I don't expect much buzz around it by the time the season is through. I'll keep watching until it totally puts me off.

Third episode was the best yet.

If they can keep the series going for a few years and tie the story lines into what takes place in the movies they're releasing it could be a very unique way of presenting the TV show in relation to the movies. No other show can do it right now.
