The first season of "Buffy" was slow.

The first season of "Lost" was great.

I'll give it more than one show to impress me.

I don't think it's quite the same audience but we'll see what happens in the next few weeks.

Buffy wasn't aired on a major Free network, so it was given time to grow.

And the last was putrid. What's your point?

Pilot's either turn you off or keep you interested until the next week. Personally, I'm not all that interested in S.H.I.E.L.D unless they give me a reason to be interested.

So far, I'm recording it with the hope that it improves. If not, adios.

I'm sure there's some crossover. I know I watched both NCIS and SHIELD. I'm most likely not the only one. Plus there's The Voice, as well.

As I mentioned way back, Tuesday's a busy TV night...

What, there aren't any marvel c team characters to put in the pilot?

I'd be really surprised if Colbie Smulders makes a return appearance. I thought Coulson was way too glib. The explanation of his return was classic comic book murky. I don't think the Avengers tie-in is enough to keep this going.

I watched NCIS....then watched my neighbors DVR of it after NCIS-LA.

Honestly wasn't as impressed as i had hoped to be, but it was good.

I got the impression that from the dialogue that there is more to Coulson's resurrection than him laying on a beach with an umbrella in his drink, and it seems that Coulson doesn't know about it, but Maria Hill(Smulders) does.

I'm guessing clone with implanted memories or similar.

I would not be surprised to see Smulders again, she's a TV actress and this show has a lot of hype. Might be a regular guest star.

I thought the show was decent. I don't expect it to be deep.

Smulders would have a hard time of that with her gig on How I met your mother.

Deep?! It was pretty campy if you ask me.

Nah. That show is ending and most of her work for this season is already in the can.

Huh. I didn't get "campy" at all. I thought they went a little too "Gadget" heavy but apparently, that's Whedon's M.O. for this program.

I also caught onto this and I feel your 100% right.
I'd need to go back and watch it but right after Coulson said he recovered on an island etc.. he walked away and someone said.. he still believes that?

So Coulson most likely is a clone and he doesn't even know it himself.
I cant help thinking how pissed Penny & Tony will be not to mention Cap & the others.
Their gonna want answers.

The show was a tad better than I expected However I wasn't expecting to last 30 minutes in.
I'll watch another week and go from there.

I thought it was decent.

It's not Mad Men or House. It's trying to be something lighter. More like a Cheers mentality with technology and a mission. It definitely has a Firefly feel to it though.

It depends on where it goes whether it kicks ass or sucks ass bit I thought it was decent enough start.

And IIRC, Dane didn't like Avengers, I'm not surprised he didn't like this. If you didn't like the style of Avengers this will suck.

I tried to watch NCIS but I think its crap. Then when it became the #1 show, I tried to go back and watch again from the beginning, but it just really sucks. Mark Harmon is a Lifetime movie actor at best. I just don't understand how this could be the #1 show.

I didn't like The Avengers. But that said, I didn't say that I didn't like this show, but I do have a hard time understanding how it will move forward successfully in the absence of well-known Marvel superheroes.

I didn't care for the casting of Ming-Na. I like her as an actress, I just don't get her character. The two chickies were hotties and the other agent just "blah" to me.

Clark Gregg is the key and so far, he's delivered. But 24 episodes of Clark Gregg being the most interesting part of the show is a stretch, IMO.
