Thoughts comments? What did you all think. Last night was the FIRST time in I have NO IDEA how long (besides football and we even tape that) my husband voluntarily watched LIVE TV.

I thought it was a good pilot. Will be interested to see where it goes.

    I liked it a lot. I really wasn't fond of Agent Ward in the first bit but by the end he was growing on me. I also loved Fitzsimmons. The brief appearance of Shepard Book was amazing! I now have another tv show to look forward to every week besides just Supernatural.

    I want to like this show so badly but the acting needs to be a bit better. I'll continue to watch it since pilots are usually a bit corny but this Skye character annoys me sooooo badly. Between this chicks acting and the character she portrays- both could be a lot better. I'll obviously keep watching because Coulson, duh.

    I'm on the fence but will keep watching because I hear it will have tie ins to the upcoming movies.

    Also on the fence although I'm glad it isn't taking itself so seriously. I was a big Heroes fan so this is interesting contrast.

    I think the fact they can't say "mutants" or reference the X-men and Spider-Man will end up hurting the show in the long run. It has potential.

    That's interesting, I didn't know that

    I watched the first episode and thought it was pretty good - im thinking coulson must be a clone so far. Hopefully Cobie Smulders wont grate on me as much as she did in the films

    Clone is my guess ATM too

    Well she is still in contract with HIMYM so maybe she will only make guest appearances and not be on as much. Doing 2 shows, even on the same lot, is rough.

    Aww what?? I was mainly watching because I heard this was supposed to tie everything together before DOFP pulls some timey wimey shenanigans on all our *kitten*. And I thought the time travel element may have been what saved/brought back Coulson. Guess not.

    Its still backed by Marvel though and Stan Lee is an executive 'i have just the part for you in my trailer' producer.
    Ive been amazed by the people local to me that I spoke to that expected Iron Man to be making appearances and the Avengers to drop in for tea and biscuits

    I will pretty much take the corny now and hope its around for a while. With whedon it will probably feel corny at first then it will turn into gold you quote long after the show is gone...

    Shiny?
    In other words liked it ready to love it

    Yeah, Joss and those involved actually have a database of names/characters/words they can and can't use. Mutants is one of them but that actually is part of the deal with Marvel movies as well. Fox owns the rights to that.

    I think it's starting to find its footing. It's still a new show, no matter who's behind it.

    It was good to see Gunn again. I'm actually not liking it, but I just know that once we get away from the monster of the week deal and a little deeper into the mythology, I'll be entirely on board. Same thing happened to me with Angel and Dollhouse.

    I liked last night's episode even better.

    I actually didn't really get into dollhouse, I stopped at the second episode. Maybe I should try watching again...

    I remember the whole first season being...frustrating. After that, it got really good. I even read the subsequent comic for a little while.

    Hmm. Maybe I should go back and rewatch it; I had given up on Dollhouse after a few episodes. I'm looking forward to watching the 2nd episode of S.H.I.E.L.D. tonight.

    I enjoyed S.H.I.E.L.D for a good Friday evening cheer up TV show :-)

    I didn't like the last episode as much. I think I'm getting a bit tired of semi-repetitive shows, got to have a storyline somewhere, and this one is getting a bit slow to develop. Not giving up though, it's still better than some other things I watch!

    I'm 2 eps in, I give it a '8/10; would bang". Fitz/Simmons definitely helps but Coulson MAKES the show, period. Plus, it doesn't hurt that I'm used to same actor voicing the same character in "Ultimate Spiderman". Hope they save his resurrection secret until first season finale (at the earliest).

    I wasn't sure if I liked it at first. But now it's totally sucked me in. I drop into their world once a week. Anyone else enjoying it?

    I thought that last weeks was one of the better episodes. Intrigued about the revelation that Skye is an 0-8-4.

    I was skeptical at first. Felt slow, wanted more super powers, etc and then BOOM! Okay, I'm hooked ♡
