It was good.
Not great.
Gotta give Joss a few episodes to get the rhythm down.
Don't get too attached to the main cast cause Joss ALWAYS kills someone off or makes them turn evil.
Saw his fingerprints all over the episode which was good.
Little twists in storyline and dialogue.
Used alot of Buffy/Angel/Firefly/Dollhouse alums
The standard group of characters and quirks he always uses.
Skye will simmer down...
Don't know why they chose Ming Na though (she was good)...would have been a GREAT opportunity for a slightly younger Asian actress to get her fight on.
Liked the Marvel references throughout. (Journey into Mystery, Extermis, Battle of NY, Fury's car)
Don't like that Jeph Loeb is involved though.
Thought the "message" was a little too heavy handed...
And Disney HAS to know that no African American characters is gonna be a BIG issue very very soon.
I'm gonna remain positive.
But they will NEED to make consistent references of Marvel characters to at least hold the fanboy interest.

notice they showed all the Avengers roster but not their faces
we may be seeing a lot of that in future episodes(i.e pulling up files on certain characters and their faces not shown)im guessing samuel will pop up in the season finale as nick fury..
its gonna have to grow on me...... i DVDrd it, and man, idk....just dont know.
Should be there tomorrow.
The little final scene with the car was cheesy as hell.
Yeha I wasn't feeling that either.
Basically
yea i was holding out hope, just that he was recruited like everyone else and then they just went on about their business.. turns out the chick was recruited and he was put down
it's all good. eventually one will show up
episode was alright. i think this is another one of those shows that needs 2 eps to conclude a conflict.
it was like ok we're introducing folks
suddenly centipede is here
suddenly he rages out
suddenly he's going to blow up
suddenly they found a cure shot him up dropped the boy off on to the next.
I wasnt blown away,i thought a lot of it was cliched and been there done that.
There are a few things that will get me to come back,the back stories of half the agents
What's the "true" story behind Coulson's resurrection.
Will any of the canon Marvel characters make an appearance.

depends on whichever ones they have the rights to..
Show was corny last night but the brotha didn't die. Colson said he was in stable condition.
This shit is basically the A-Team meets Alphas without a black dude. 
all speculation is meaningless at this point. like most pilots, choppy and unfocused. tried to introduce too many characters. let's see if it gets smoother. most shows, the cast and writers have to hit their stride before it gets good. or bad. can the fans sustain the #s necessary? will abc order enough episodes? only time will tell.
This bitch thighs tho.................
co-sign
On another note, I wasn't really impressed by it. I'm giving it five episodes to rope me in.
I dug it....but I'm damn sure glad I watched it before coming in this thread
MAJOR spoiler by divulging the Coulson is back. I smiled when that mofo walked out and did NOT CARE how they spun his story

Meh

Thought I was the only one that noticed. That show lucky 7 got another one with nice thighs too.
coulson could be a life model decoy
in the comics SHIELD were the creators of these lifelike robots
Am I the only one who thought that the pilot just completely undermined the plot to Iron Man 3. The white scientist chick from IM3 was working for like 10 years to find a cure for the exploding problem with extremis, and couldn't come up with an solution. Yet Doctor Who and his girlfriend shield agents figured that shit out in like five minutes.
that's why i said these plots need 2 episodes minimum to work.
Can't wait for that shit to come back on TV. Michael Jai White is on this new season!
arrow is full of brothers and sisters.
* boom
but will Disney let such an expensive show do that?
They usually like self contained episodes for future syndication purposes.
ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. debuted with 11.9 million viewers and a 4.6 rating among those under 50, earning the biggest demo numbers of any new drama debut on a Big Four network since 2009 (when ABC's premiere of V notched a 5.2 rating in the very same 8 p.m. Tuesday time slot). This is a very good premiere number for ABC, which invested the bulk of its marketing resources this summer into hyping S.H.I.E.L.D. and very much needed to get viewers invested in the show early on. Most industry insiders had expected the show to debut a tick lower than it did, so S.H.I.E.L.D. managed to slightly exceed most expectations.The show did not, however, deliver the sort of jaw-dropping ratings performance some inside ABC might have quietly dreamed about. It was enough, however, to easily beat both the first hour of NBC's red-hot The Voice and CBS's dominant NCIS. And it also was big enough to allow new ABC comedy The Goldbergs to get sampled: The retro-laffer notched 9.1 million viewers and a preliminary 3.1 demo rating, doubling the overall audience of Fox's New Girl and easily beating that show in the demo.
they not gone have to worry about syndication if the shit gets cancelled after 1 season cause everyone lost interest.
scandal has had continuation episodes and it's doing just fine in syndication
Scandal is in syndication already? Only two seasons and already syndicated? I find that hard to believe.
Shit was pretty weak. I'm taking it off the DVR list and just gonna catch it on OnDemand when I can to see if it gets better. But it was extra corny to me.
