For those who don’t know – I decided to watch a show that’s been for a while, has an established fandom, that I know literally NOTHING about, and comment on each episode. I chose Agents of Shield thanks to suggestions.
Oh, an important note … . I’m watching completely spoiler free. I’m excited to engage fans and you can post here, reblog, message me, whatever – just please NO SPOILERS past the point where I am, which currently the first episode. So please don’t spoil me beyond this point, thank you!
Okay … . . so my thoughts on the PILOT episode of Agents of Shield (under cut) … .
Ahhhhh you chose AoS!!!! I adore this show 🙂 🙂 but then you will know that from my gushing recommendation hehe. I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I was hooked from moment 1 too.
I don’t think it’s a spoiler to tell you that Robin from HIMYM is Deputy-Director Agent Maria Hill. She was introduced in The Avengers movie which is pre-series and you said you saw it. Coulson was in that movie so maybe that’s where you recognise him from?
Re: Ward his line “somebody really wanted our initials to spell Shield” and his action-scene opener was awesome. I can see what you like him 🙂 That’s interesting that you liked Skye straight away. By interesting I mean I had a different reaction heh. I really didn’t like her until much much later. On rewatching I found so much about Skye that I loved. Certainly in this episode I felt like she reacted much like any regular person would, so what’s that called? The viewers voice?
Awww Lola. Definitely recurring I’ll put it that way 🙂 definite soft spot for Lola *nods* Re: Peterson getting shot, I’m sure this was in the episode, that he wasn’t shot by a bullet but by one of those icer-bullets, a knockout bullet basically and Coulson ordered it because Peterson was about to explode due to the super-serum he was on and the building wasn’t clear yet so there would be casualties. I’m positive that was explained at the end but I think it was explained badly from what I recall. I think I only really cottoned on with rewatching.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the first episode! 🙂
