I am so so so relieved that Agents of Shield got a season six. There were a lot of callbacks and everything was wrapped up so the season five finale would have been a fitting end but …

I’M CRYING

Like actual tears running down my face, chin trembling, lump in my throat, the whole nine yards.

TOO SAD

I knew it was coming, I was thoroughly spoiled, and it still hit me like a freight train. I can’t handle these feels.

Now I know why the hiatus is so long. They had to give us a year to try and get over it. Who am I kidding? #NeverGettingOverIt

I can’t sleep so here is today’s Agent of Shield thought.

Even though Talbot got overwhelmed and twisted up I still think the Steve Rogers comparison is good because it’s about intent.

The previous examples – Red Skull and Ruby – had gone wrong but both Talbot and Steve still had the courage to climb in that machine, not knowing what they would become. They just wanted to help people.

There are two episodes left of season five but channel 4 isn’t airing the finale until Sunday, so I’ll probably watch both of them Monday night.

Honestly even though I just didn’t watch because I was tired, stockpiling episodes was a very good decision. Waiting a whole week or more in between each one would have sucked.

Today in “Sam wishes she could make gifs”

I need a Talbot / Steve Rogers comparison gifset marked General / Captain because that was all I could think about when Talbot was in the chamber.

A good man with a good heart. That’s why he made it.

I think I have 3 more episodes to watch of season five and then it’s a long old wait until next summer.

Time to resume my rewatch. I got to the framework in season four, so nearly finished what I can access (can’t rewatch season five right now) and then guess what?

Let’s do the time warp again!

“Welcome to level 7.”

You thought they dropped that plotline?

Nah they were just saving it for later.

^^ only gif I could find of Franklin Hall / something related to gravitonium.

I freaking love this show!

“Agents of Shield is so awesome” I said.

“I love it” I said.

*starts sobbing*

“It makes me so sad” *sniff*

There are actual tears. This episode man. Starting with Yo-Yo, moving to Daisy crying and saying there’a no Shield without Coulson and now I have Philinda feels.

My heart 🙁

I really really do love this show but ouch, right in the feels.

I love Agents of Shield so damn much. In the episode I just watched there was the line:

“We have a small but active fan base”

And my smile nearly split my face. I know sometimes ‘self-aware’ lines like that can fall flat but AoS just nails them.

Honestly next to Stargate I think this is the best show I’ve watched. I couldn’t love it more if I tried.

celticheartedfangirl:

First of all, thank you for all the conversation and welcome to the AoS fandom!  I’m still just getting my feet wet and getting to know these characters, please be patient with me!

Also please no spoilers – I am, for the first time in my life, trying to watch a genre show spoiler free.  So please no spoilers beyond where I am, thank you very much!  

So … . . 0-8-4 … . 

Keep reading

Lol at the Once 0-8-4 quip hehe. Re: FitzSimmons would giving you first names count as a spoiler? They are separate people and not related. I don’t dare tell you anything else, I want to err on the side of caution re: spoilers. Same sentiment regarding your thoughts on Skye and Ward.

Oh you caught on to Reyes playing Coulson? I didn’t. I was stunned the first time I watched it and I think I rewound and watched again to try and work out if there were any hints.

With Skye being shady, given at the end of the pilot she did the whole “I’m in” thing then yeah I think assuming there’s a mystery there is acceptable 🙂 Man you are making me want to do another rewatch! And I haven’t ‘quite’ finished my last one.

*insert me rubbing my hands with glee, waiting on your thoughts about episode 3* – seriously, it’s so fascinating reading an unspoilered view 🙂

celticheartedfangirl:

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) … . 

Keep reading

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! 🙂

celticheartedfangirl:

So an idea I am toying with …..

@sieben9 has kind of inspired me to take on a watch of a show that has been around for a while that I have not yet seen, to watch and do an episode by episode post of.

The one I am TOYING WITH is Game of Thrones. I have never seen one episode of it and I BARELY get the premise. I’ve seen both positive and negative thoughts on it but really that’s EVERY SHOW. And I like to make up my own mind.

So — that is an option. Does anyone else have other suggestions? I want something that is already 3 seasons MINIMUM (still airing a plus but not necessary) that has a solid Tumblr fan base presence.

Just so that you can understand my taste — these are shows I love past and present (so obviously none of these):

Once Upon a Time

Supernatural

Outlander

Quantum Leap

Charmed

Being Human (UK version)

The Good Place

Doctor Who

So I am open to suggestions but GoT is where I’m leaning so far unless someone has a better suggestion. I do have Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Showtime and STARZ and I prefer something I can watch on any of those outlets so that I don’t have to buy DVDs.

Also NOT WALKING DEAD. I watched till S4 and lost interest for a variety of reasons. I may revisit it someday but not right now.

So ….. give me some suggestions!!!!! 🙂

Agents of Shield, Agents of Shield, Agents of Shield!

Man I could wax lyrical about this show. It has everything! Great continuity, appropriate character development (which actually sticks!), fantastic ships (I can’t think of one I dislike).

Every character gets their time in the sun but nobody is ever forgotten. It’s chock full of awesome character moments, memorable lines etc. It can be humourous, it can tug at heart strings and it is always, always enjoyable.

Imo it is the show that keeps on getting better and better as it goes on. Most shows decline but (for me) AoS is going from strength to strength. Sadly ratings don’t agree but a sixth season has just been confirmed, albeit a short one.

There are other shows I love but with the 3+ seasons and active fanbase I’m not sure if anything else fits.
