The day of the bubblegum show is over imo.

You can't have a bubblegum drama. this show is a drama, there can be funny moments in dramas but overall you should be involved.

im not saying it won't happen, just the first episode didn't do a good job of immediately liking or disliking the characters. and that's ultimately why people watch shows, cause of either love or hate for specific people on the show. if they're meh about everyone, it won't impact you if something happens.

available but not looked at.

i'd have tv back to nostalgia levels in no time just run them plots by me and run them characters by me.. and yall take it from there.

people's attention spans are LONGER believe it or not. they're coming back we need to be challenged.

so the whole wrap it up in 42 minutes shit is DONE.


why do we talk about the bridge, breaking bad, game of thrones, etc etc so much? cause the way it ends it gives us a full week to still be involved make predictions and wait to see what happens and then repeat the process...

shit is wrapped up in 42 minutes, 2 days after that the show is an afterthought then we gotta reboot and find a reason to care about this particular episode again

families don't watch tv monday nights at 8pm.

kids don't watch that on tv. they have dedicated channels now.

they need to go after the teen and twenties and put easter eggs in the episodes for the 30 and up + comic head crowd.

just from my observation you need to build you a cult FIRST.

if you build a cult you'll make it.


look at shows like south land, and other shows that had a cult following and the demand became so high another network picked them up.

His name will get him a full shot at a full season. but look at the top show on the network scandal.. they built themselves a cult following FIRST. and then after that it blew up, and NOW it's sitting pretty and anticipated. but they built it from the ground up.

Hopefully that's what they're doing with this show but you gotta give people a reason to care. being who he is isn't enough for the casual fan. and being who he is isn't enough to guarantee there will be 5 seasons of this show.. especially in the beginning of shows its always now or never.. i mean how many of us liked last resort and they pulled the plug.. or the river and boom axed.. flash forward... then NOPE no mas..


EVERYONE DOES lol that's the thing, arrogance is at play and being out of touch is too.

this whole black dude super hero should and could have been 2 episodes.

everybody is just Bam a part of the team ride off into the sunset.

how about instead of what went down, they took more time to explain centipede. and then took more time with the woman in the hospital as well...


how about we see the kids working on a way to stop him from blowing up and then from there he takes his boy to the aunts house vowing to return... he catches up with the hacker in the van. demands she erases his identity knocks out the agent and they leave.

go back to headquarters and they're working on finding out a way to stop him, the twins come up with it, the agent radios them and says the man came and took the hacker.. they get everything together, the twins say he only has 30 minutes before he blows up, then they track the van and it says they're heading to the train station... end of episode.


cgi is for the movies, drama is for the tv.

name your top 5 sci fi shows..

and then think about how much cgi was actually in them?

now think about how good the story lines were?

just write a good consistent story with characters that make you like or dislike them.. throw in a couple of special effects, it doesn't have to be overkill and call it a day


they need to let me save television..


Yea that's from 2013.
One day I'll make it I can't just be like this for no reason.

all I'm saying....

where all those folks who shitted on this show from Day One?

this is the most CINEMATIC show on TV right now...

AND they putting MONEY in it special effects were great.

Like I TRIED to tell ya'll Whedon and his crew...his brother his loyal writing staff...

just basically putting Buffy Angel Firefly and Dollhouse ALL in ONE show.

I aint even trying to hear cancel...

cause if this thing was on Netflix and used as connective tissue between ALL the current and future series?

:itsawrap:


Because of that video, I'm wondering if all of the chair have the actors names formatted as if they are an acronym or if the fact that Brett's name is formatted as "B.R.E.T.T." means something more for the character, similar to how "A.I.D.A." is an acronym and she's a major problem. I wonder if AIDA will create a Ward LMD once Daisy causes more trouble.

Fam, this show sucked its first season. Can't blame those folks who left and haven't returned. I only came back after hearing the hype about the 180 the show did in improvements after Captain America: Winter Soldier.

B.R.E.T.T. good catch. Nice way to bring him back.

Or does the Ghost Rider bring him back from the dead when he returns.:eek2:

havent posted here in awhile.
still watch the show but havent been passionate about it but Wow the show has really made the leap to being arguably the best COMIC BOOK show on tv.

in one season
*we got the best iteration of Ghost Rider to date
* we got an LMD saga
* and now an alternative universe where Hydra reigns supreme


they've made the best of Tv's limited budget and their action scenes have taken the leap (the fight between daisy and the lmd director' was phenomenal)

only complaint is gotta wait til april for the chapter

Keep in mind also that's coming off of season 3 where they went to a whole freaking Nuther world?!?

I thought season 3 was a nice mind fuck with all the hive and lash shit, but they've topped that.

JUSt a heads up... show comes back April 4.. at the exact same Time as The Americans.

Business Decisions are going to have to be made as to which show I watch live and which show gets DVR'd....

Unless you watch your DVR'd shows within 3 days after they've aired (the time period they consider DVR views as part of the overall ratings), you should watch the Shield live. Since the American's is already scheduled to end, Shield can use the ratings.

interesting

this is almost EXACTLY what they are currently doing to Captain america in the comics...making it like he was ALWAYS secretly Hydra.

What they have done on Shield is brilliant and should be copied by every show that has 24 episodes. The fact that this season has felt like 3 completely separate but connected seasons is a masterpiece.

This is exactly like Fringe compartmentalized.
Fringe did the Bizzarro world with the same characters having completely different roles just like this.

Fitz is the one that's going to be hardest to turn. He's got it made. He's the doctor and he's fucking Aida. Jemma I don't know if that long jaw can compete with Aida

Next hardest will be may she's a soldier it's going to take the entire team whooping her ass first in order to get her to snap out of it

And now they have to climb to the penthouse like on a video game to get to the main computer in order to open the loop hole so they can all go home and Daisy doesn't have any powers.

Mack is going to be the hardest to turn. He now has his daughter.

i don't think he'll be the most difficult only because he's the realest dude out.
If they can make him fully understand this isn't the real world he'd rather live in the real world and be a real person than to do that shit. He was the one with the most weight out of all of them and he was the only one that wasn't looking for an escape. He dealt with his problems head on and embraced them.

I am constantly amazed how thin aida is ?!?

She look good though. The dark hair and dark eye shadow got me.

Yes. They have delivered 2 (soon to be 3) satisfying stories with the crucial story telling components (beginning, middle, and end) over the course of a single season of TV. Too bad the ratings don't do it justice or other networks and show runners might take inspiration from SHIELD.

Fritz will definitely be a challenge. How do you convince a scientist/doctor of his caliber that the world he lives, in which everything is great for him is not real? They basically have the matrix without a red pill to wake him and others up.

I wouldn't be surprised if they hacked a way to have have Daisy go through terra genesis to get her powers. On another note, I get a good chuckle while watching because my wife is so sick of Daisy. She can't stand her reaction of disbelief and how it seems to take her the longest to get up to speed in every situation.

I dunno. They have to try to separate Mac from his daughter. That's going to be a significant challenge.
