Great OP Agents is still sorta flying solo on its night. Its partnered with a bunch of middling sitcoms that don't share any demographics. Doesn't help that its key demographic would probably rather watch the show next day on Hulu or after the season on Netflix. What I am saying is only pay enough attention to the ratings insofar as to understand that they can be bad and this show can still escape cancellation if only just.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Agent Carter had good Live+3 numbers too Agent Carter had worse overall numbers and flagging reviews and viewership. Its Live+3 gave it a boost, but not enough of one to save it. It also lost its primary benefactor at ABC and had a strange distribution deal that meant that it was not on Netflix and old seasons were not on Hulu, so there's that.

That was fun. The new director was great. Through everything, I was thinking, "oh god, a pleasant bureaucrat, the most evil of all." And then it turns out he's the white Luke Cage. I mean, superstrong, invulnerable is probably the most boring of all the superpowers, but makes total sense in that role.

They've got a bunch of stuff going on. They seem to genuinely be more of a family than a cast. They enjoy the show they're making and the universe they inhabit. They are a bunch of pretty awesome people. I like it.

Good episode. A bit "filler" and Gemma trying to bring May back was a bit out of place (that's a powerful moment but juxtaposed against the wacky action sequences of Yoyo and the 3 amigos and shot with that strange wide lens, it lost impact), but otherwise, I had a lot of fun.bio347 posted:She has so much fun with her powers.

I didn't get the impression that they used the watch to back-door the server, though I might have missed it. I'm thinking a later episode will see a mole hunt instead.

That was a good episode. Was going to come in here and make a D'Dew joke, but was soundly beaten and I'm not disappointed by that. I'm hoping that her season twist is she's not going to turn evil. She's going to stay super benevolent because SHE IS THE SHIELD. It's her catchphrase after all. High tech sling portal was cool, though. I think they were in an unstable mirror dimension and the collapsed version would have taken them to ??.

Jetfire posted:So wait. When Radcliffe said "FitzSimmons" helped working on Aida, does that mean Simmons really did help after she met Aida (did that happen on-air some time?) or was he just bullshitting because it sounded more legit that both of them were helping instead of just Fitz? I assume that she had a conversation with Radcliffe sometime between her recognizing it immediately (she already knew, might as well tell her everything) or during the period of time between her getting the one over on Mace and everyone getting split up for the mission to the power plant. Weren't they fighting about it right before? She was still upset that he hadn't told her earlier.

BreakAtmo posted:The only issue I see with Coulson is that given his lack of powers, he would likely have to be a gun-focused character, which will almost certainly be a role filled by an RE hero - probably Leon. That'd be OK. He's got enough unique stuff that he could be interesting: base weapon is an icer, some melee stuff to regain range, rocket punch as a melee special, destroyer gun (from the avengers) as a ranged special, robot hand shield, maybe the ability to call in strikes. There's certainly enough uniqueness there to make him an interesting character.

Since Loki took the throne in Odin's guise, he now has to act like Odin or be found out. In a way, he has no choice but to be "good" if he wants to stay where he is.

That was... possibly the worst episode since season 1. Mack's quips were worth him being in the episode, but only just. Otherwise he and yoyo were absolutely worthless to the actual plot (and wasted effects budget fighting a driverless plane). Every one of the lines in the Daisy/Mace/Simmons B plot was forced and would have easily been the worst part of almost every other episode, but it was over (under?) shadowed by the even worse writing/acting in the Vijay/Senator scenes. She was terrible and he was written like the blonde bimbo in a slasher flick. Why would he get into that helicopter? I mean, I get following the sister, but that dude just tried to kill him. What gives? I'll give the A plot some leeway, and I'm a bit happy they are going away from the robot gains sentience, turns bad trope. But they're replacing it with an even worse mad scientists is evil trope. This show's been so good at twisting tropes before, why screw it all up now? Also Coulson has to know May is a bot, otherwise he is just randomly saying poo poo that's hilariously out of character for him. I'm guessing Coulson just wants to find out how well the sex bot works and figures real May is fine with being drugged and kept in a closet.

PunkBoy posted:I mean if the only weapon you have is a gun, you're going to loving use it, even if it is out of desperation. And while I can understand not being into the Nadeer family stuff, that was kinda eh, this was far from the worst episode even if you ignore Season 1. We got an interesting take on robot sentience, evil John Hannah, nerdy sci-fi references, and a Shotgun-Axe decapitation. I'm pretty happy. It had to have been the acting because it was just so... poor. Like everyone trying to be season 1 Brett Dalton poor. CW poor. I dunno, this show usually has a whole lot of leeway for me. Mack's quips were about the only thing that went right. And I'm sad that we have evil John Hannah. I liked him the grey area. Evil scientist is boring.

OB_Juan posted:I thought it could be a reference, but it seems like they'd drop some more before they revealed anything like that. "The hammer shatters glass but hardens steel" is an actual line. It's a well known phrase. It's possible they were throwing it out there subtly before introducing the organization in more overt references. This show likes to do that at times, which makes it funny how there's always someone who gets the twist before it happens. Well, except for Season 1's twist that this would actually wind up being a good show.

Yeah, ratings-wise it's not great, but it's also one of the best of ABC's hour-long scripted shows in a real weak time slot. I wouldn't be surprised if they swapped to a 13 episode order, but I think the 10-13 episode seasons are better on the whole anyway.

Her hole big "operating illegally" twist thing was another annoying part. Yo-yo signed the accords and was operating in an official capacity under a governmental organization within the nation that has oversight of the same organization. It's part of the accords that Shield can use powered agents on US soil since they're now a branch of the US government, operating legally. The only thing they can get Coulson and Yo-yo for is trespassing, and since they're a law enforcement organization, they have some rights as an investigative force. Though let's overlook that they would have to operate similarly to how the current intelligence agencies operate and would have needed a warrant of sorts in order to place the surveillance in Nadeer's office. An even bigger annoyance is that they didn't have a ready-made answer to what happened to the cash that Daisy stole because as far as I can tell, it was a hearing to determine if the actions that she took while operating independently were justified in the guise of undercover vigilante. They're really missing that PR guy right now. I think we're getting a bit of timeline shock as well. It's been 5 days since May was abducted? That means it's been all of 5 days since Daisy was publicly revealed as working for shield and in that time we've had a failed inhuman extraction, a robot attack, an attempt on Mace's life, and through all that they managed to schedule a congressional hearing? Government doesn't move that fast. Anyway, all of that is to say that the writing has gotten real sloppy since the break and Nadeer is a terrible actress.

enraged_camel posted:Man, I don't know where you guys get these crazy ideas. Being a law enforcement organization doesn't give SHIELD, or anyone else, the authority to wiretap government officials' offices. Which is what the whole last sentence of that paragraph was about. You'd have to think that Talbot, an experienced general and currently a ranking member in the US intelligence community, would say, "You're determined to plant bugs and/or wiretap her phones? OK, I know a guy that can speed through that paperwork." If they had made the scandal that they were operating in a clandestine fashion without going through proper legal channels, then that would be one thing. But they made it about Yo-yo, which was the only part of the whole thing that was completely legal in this made-up world with its own set of international laws. I mean, we're having to ignore a lot of stuff to make any of this plot plausible. Another example: Nadeer seems to have had her own private security force acting inside a US government facility. How does that happen? Basically, all I'm saying is that despite it being a fairly entertaining episode, especially where the A-plot was concerned, the b-plot was absolutely awful if you want it to make any sort of sense. This has been a theme in regards to Nadeer-involved b-plots.

muscles like this! posted:Well, according to Civil War the Sokovia Accords put the Avengers under the control of the UN so you would assume the same for SHIELD. I believe that the rules are that a signatory of the accords must have permission to operate either directly by the country in which they operate or from the UN council. So the US can say, "hey, you can do your thing here" or the UN can say, "hey avenger, go save the day off in Syria" even if Syria doesn't want them. If a powered individual is working for SHIELD and SHIELD is currently part of the US government, then the powered individual would have permission to operate in the US.
