KarmaTsunami Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Mad Men continues to be very good. I've been watching Vikings, which is really enjoyable. When I was at school I was really into Norse myths and legends and it's quite cool that the show manages to blend the Gods and legendary figures with more realistic representations of viking society. About done with Season 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm just properly getting into the US Office. I'm so late to the party that it's daytime and the host is halfheartedly mopping up the bongwater somebody spilled on the floor last night. It's still great though.

KarmaTsunami Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 anyone caught up with marvels agents of S.H.I.E.L.D? im on episode 21 so far and its really been great someone tell me how to do spoilers Agents of SHIELD has gotten really good in the episodes since The Winter Soldier was in cinemas. By the way, I'm watching at American episode speed so if you are only watching on E4 then don't read the following. I REALLY hope there isn't some shitty redemption arc for Ward, especially after the most recent episode. There's a lot of debate over whether or not it was him that was about to gun down the dog using the long-range rifle, but I think it was. He was a shitty character but looking at those old episodes knowing what we know now, it makes sense. The look on Fitz and Simmons faces when they realise he's actually going to do what he does is just heartbreaking. PLUS ENOUGH WITH THE VAGUENESS ABOUT SKYE. I want answers. But yes, it's gone from being something I might watch to something I actively look forward to watching on Wednesdays now. Shame next week is the season finale! Hopefully it gets renewed, and all the signs are pointing towards that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think it might have been a play to get Garrett and the people above him, but after the origin story story, the only way I can see that working is if Fury planted him all that time ago, which I doubt. As for Skye, we know she's a 084 before, it's just what species. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some connection to the next Avengers film, which will flow over to the next series.

The Lady Sif episode was pretty great. I really hope they don't. The origin story was really well done and it pretty much cemented that although Ward isn't on Garrett's level of Hydra badassery, he's still never been SHIELD. Besides which, they have Agent Triplett in the now filling Ward's vacant 'Specialist' slot in the team and he has more chemistry with everyone than Ward ever managed.

Paranoid Android Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 He played a cop in Southland as well Is that good? There's one reviewer on the guardian who loves it but I've not really heard much else about it. And quite obviously Gotham will never reach the heights of the OC.

No one read the spoiler if you watch on channel 4 I think they have carried the whole ward being hydra on for too long really especially in the last few episodes. This is the first episode where there's been a sort of cliffhanger knowing that my may of re created gh325 and garret has took it and not knowing it's affect. I thought ward would have let fitz and Simmons go but I guess not. Edited May 9, 2014 by Moon Moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't really though, only the last four episodes.Thinking about it, it seems the perfect way to get rid of a character that isn't working, and introducing a new character to the team. They obviously introduced Tripp to the show as Garrett's protege, but when he had better interaction with the rest of the team then Ward, they switched things round and made Ward the traitor and will have Tripp as part of the team going forward.

I never thought they'd introduce hydra to agents of SHIELD and just keep it In captain America. My predictions of how it's going to end I think sky will kill ward then fury will come back and they will live happily ever after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D was pretty awful for the first half but has been picking up momentum nicely since it came back from it's break. Still think they casted too young and it's a show with massive problems (not least that, in a similar vein to Torchwood, for a supposedly elite government agency they're pretty fucking awful at their job - the S.H.I.E.L.D you see in the first few Marvel films is not the same slick operation you get here), but it's becoming actually enjoyable to watch so that's something. I'm watching at C4 pace so am a bit behind the rest of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My predictions of how it's going to end I think sky will kill ward then fury will come back and they will live happily ever after. But with Agents of SHIELD being part of the same Marvel universe, there's no way that Hydra infiltrating SHIELD in the films wouldn't have had an impact on the show. It's bonkers to think otherwise. The stuff from the movies has in some way filtered through to the show, such as Lady Sif showing up to catch Lorelei after the mass break-out in Thor 2.

MattJimF Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Exactly, they couldn't have SHIELD breaking up in Cap America, then pretend nothing happened in Agents of, seeing as they had Lady Sif show up, and they were cleaning up in London after what happened in Thor 2.I think Ward will die redeeming himself by taking out Garrett. If Skye wanted to kill Ward she would have let Deathlok kill him on the plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I've not read your spoilers, but the last episode I watched had some pretty significant mentions of Cap America. Should I go watch Winter Soldier before watching the rest of the season? Already annoyed at some of the Thor spoilers in the Lady Sif episode.

MattJimF Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Was the last episode the one where they find the clairvoyant? If so, I would watch Winter Soldier, if your past that one, I wouldn't worry, as each spoilers the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff from the movies has in some way filtered through to the show, such as Lady Sif showing up to catch Lorelei after the mass break-out in Thor 2. yeh i do understand it's part of marvels universe but in captain america i thought the army and stark industries made captain america then he joined SHIELD later on at the end of the first movie. i have not yet seen Thor 2 i only just 2 weeks ago saw the first. but lady sith was in that then came into the TV show for one episode. Exactly, they couldn't have SHIELD breaking up in Cap America, then pretend nothing happened in Agents of, seeing as they had Lady Sif show up, and they were cleaning up in London after what happened in Thor 2.I think Ward will die redeeming himself by taking out Garrett. If Skye wanted to kill Ward she would have let Deathlok kill him on the plane. but i thought in captain america hydra had only a war with the US army which captain america was part of. it then did show at the end captain america waking up in a SHIELD facility where none of it was infiltrated in anyway. its hard to decide what ward is going to do, when he did what he did to fitz and simmons i really thought he wouldnt do it but then he did, also after seeing the end of the last episode with garret taking the new version of gh325 and plus being the first deathlok model will it be that easy for him to take out? now remember May, Coulson and Sky got trapped under the barber shop by 3 men with the 3 swords that bring out anger and that, whats our expectations on that situation?

Last one I watched was the one were Hydra revealed itself and Ward shot everyone in the plane at the end. Lots of Winter Soldier spoilers.
