Fitz had some nice moments last episode. The pilot has completely been underused after a nice build up. And coulson is just not making sense now.

me and my son both noticed he always uses the phrase tahitti is magical
when ever his rehab is mentioned

i think it is some kind of brain block to make him forget what really happened
love to see him confront loki (pre dark world)

Not liking Breaking Bad? You guys are broken.

Yeah, they don't keep bringing Tahiti up for no reason.

Robots have already been mentioned enough for me to think he isn't an LMD.

Maybe it's backdoor way to introduce magic to the marvel universe, of the dr strange variety.

Checked out the first two episodes of Arrow on Netflix. Not bad! It definitely has that Nolan feel to it. I'll give Shield a few more episodes but I am definitely into Arrow.

Arrow gets better too, IMO. The last episodes of the first season were quite good..and so far I'm liking the second a lot more (I wasn't really a fan of the whole "list" thing..pretty lame, and the flashbacks are a bit more interesting now too).

JD10367 · 11-15-2013, 06:11 PM

Arrow: watched and enjoyed the first season, fell behind on season two and then the DVR filled up so I had to kill it. Might get back to it at some point

SHIELD: I don't mind the slowness. I like Coulson (the character and the actor), Skye is hot, I like the ass-kicking female pilot... Yes, it's a bit derivative ("X Files", "Warehouse 13") and would benefit from more superhero (does Chris Evans make so much money they can't nab him for an episode?). Still better than most TV drivel.

Netflix: I'm also three weeks into my free trial month. Unimpressed by the limited film selection but have no image issues (using my iPhone via WiFi and my HD TiVo, though, not my computer). It's cheap enough that I'll probably keep it for its occasional usefulness (allowed me to refresh my memory of "Thor" before seeing "Thor 2", kept me occupied one night with insomnia when I rewatched some of "Buffy" Season 4, seems to have a lot of anime which I went to get more into, plus has some lesbian softporn, LOL).

OK, somebody explain what just happened.

Jamie · 03-06-2014, 04:40 AM

Best guess seems to be that the blue guy was a Kree.

keg in kc · 03-06-2014, 04:48 AM

Not sure what that thing was yet, but I thought that was one of the better eps in the series.

Stop watching this months ago. decided I'll just read the spoilers if there is anything I need to know that ties I to the movies. I don't feel like sitting through this week after week.

I do not blame you. I am having a real hard time watching network dramas. 20+ episodes a season is too much. There is so much filler and plots take forever to wrap up because of it. Cable has the right idea when it comes to dramas.

Plus, SHIELD feels super generic aside from a few characters.

Two things that bother me with all these network dramas, no matter how good or bad the show is.

Commercials - I just can't deal any more, and every show now has 5 minutes of show, then almost 6 minutes of commercial.

The season breaks - I get the holiday break, take a couple weeks off because of low ratings, but then to come back and air episodes for 1 - 2 weeks then 2-3 weeks off, rinse repeat till season finale. It's just irritating and I end up losing interest in the show.

Netflix is doing it right, no commercials, entire season out at once, so you can binge watch or not, your choice.

This.

I love the main characters. I'm a huge Marvel (comics) fanboy.

I love the premise.

It just seems like a very generic ride in a very Marvel Disneyland that no one is really enjoying...

I think it's been picking up steam for the last 4-6 episodes. It's gotten more serious (without losing its humor), it seems like it's going somewhere where most of the first half of the season didn't. And they've started to answer questions, which is really important.

It still has a little ways yet to go though, I think.

keg in kc · 03-06-2014, 12:56 PM

I think the only time I ever watch commercials is when I'm unable to dvr something and I have to watch it on demand. Oh for the halcyon days before the networks began to disable the fast forward button. But even when I'm watching something "live", as I occasionally do, I usually hit pause right at the time the show begins, then start watching for real at 20 after the hour. Synchs up right at the end of the hour.

I watch so much tv, really too much, that the breaks during the season are good for me because it allows me to catch up with the recording backlog on my box.
