Am I the only one still watching? I don't think I will be for much longer. I ended up fast forwarding through some of the last episode, which I think is a bad sign.  It's not bad exactly, there is not too much that's roll your eyes terrible about it, but it's really dull. The plots are competent, but nothing special, and the characters are just so uninteresting. I just don't care about any of them. If next week had a completely new cast or new characters I'm not sure if there's any I'd care enough about to notice, bar Coulson, and even then... |

I liked Skye a little more in this last episode. Maybe because there seemed to be less of her?
The two nerd/geek scientist types are so effing shrill, they need to take it down a notch or two.
Got a phone call in the middle of the episode so totally missed who was making the "rogue agent" do the bad stuff. Did they explain, my daughter, who was watching missed that also. Pretty bad if it couldn't hold her interest.

I don't think they explained. They tracked down who was sending her instructions, but then he died, so I think he was also being controlled, and had an eye thing. He might have also been a SHIELD agent who disappeared. I don't think they tried to investigate further. Once she was safe they seemed weirdly unbothered about the whole thing.
But I was quite zoned out and fastforwarding at that stage so may have missed some of it.

Is anybody but me still watching this?
Mini cliffhanger last night and supposedly the "how did Coulson live" will be resovled in January.
I was glad the man from the first episode, Mike Peterson was on the team last night. I really feel they need another fighting person to be credible. Then my daughter pointed out since they were focusing so much on him being a single dad and needing to be there for his son they were probably going to take him out.
UGH, predictable storylines.

I had such high hopes for this show. So much went wrong:
1) The team is boring. The only two who show some spark are Fitz-Simmons. The rest are beige wallpaper.
2) Beige wallpaper includes Coulson. I never understood the great love for him as his movie appearances have been so brief and expository. Now that he has the lead, I don't see anything particularly interesting about him, or the actor's portrayal of him.
3) The show looks so cheap! Like some random syndicated action show from the 90s. I know it can't compare to how the Marvel movies look but come on, they should at least try a little with the cinematography and production design.

Did anyone watch last night?
Supposedly Agent Coulson's return to life was to be revealed but I don't think it was. It just seemed to clarify that yes, he was dead, like no one knew.
It was hard to tell as we suprise company during it.
8 O'Clock during the week is not a visiting time!

Didn't enjoy seeing all the electrodes on his brain. I did wonder if he's going to start acting up for a while. |

Stan Lee did his cameo last night.
This show is finally interesting but I have to admit not too worried if Skye makes it at all.
My hubby, a Marvel purist, is complaining about Deathlock already.
I think Agent May is the most interesting character they have.

I wasn't saddened by Skye's shooting and was kind of hoping they'd actually kill her off. I will say that the other characters reactions to her situation evoked more emotions in me than Skye herself did.  |

So that's how you do it bitches! The show has totally redeemed itself. Forget the Clairvoyant, it's the freakin' Hydra! I don't follow Marvel, but even I know what Hydra is! Hell, even the boring guy suddenly got interesting. I wish they had hyped this baby up sooner, but they maybe needed to do the tie in with the Capt. American movie, and this is when it came out. Coulson's guys have been toddling around, screwing each other, telling stories, being earnest, and then BAM! All hell breaks loose.
