Then don't read the damn thread if you haven't watched the show. It looks fucking retarded to open a thread and have so many post show as nothing but black blobs.
Then don`t click on the thread......

I gotta say that the sudden violent twist seems to just be, well, violent. It's almost like one of the producers watched The Blacklist, '24' or Game of Thrones and said, "We gotta be violent like those shows!"

Personally, it spoils it for me. There are only so many times I want to see soldiers and agents get shot in the back of the head in the Marvel Universe (this one at least). Either that, or just say fuck it and get The Punisher to show up.

Did you watch Captain America? I was surprised at how violent Disney went.

She is still hot, which is what matters.
And she's half-Chinese, which judging by your name might mean something for you. It makes me wonder if the producers are trying to capture more of the Chinese market, sort of like why Batman and Transformers both went to China.

Not only is Chloe Wang half-Chinese (even though I thought she was half Hispanic or Mediterranean or something, not half-Chinese), Ming-Na Wen is full-on Chinese.

Loved how Skye was able to pull it together at the end.
Yes. And I thought her acting for her shock was actually very good. Her disbelief and crying seemed believable to me.

And then her pulling it together in the show illustrates her increasing strength and ability as a SHIELD agent.

Just wiki-ed her. She was born 2 days short of a year after me. Damn I feel old now.

Fixed that for you.;)

Though in all seriousness, I didn't know she was half Chinese. Like you I would have guessed half latino.

A friend tells me she was an idol singer in Asia. I too thought she was Hispanic or Middle Eastern.

She was a non-entity in the US, and then I believe Nettwerk "discovered" her in high school and signed her on contract to make her into a pop star in China (where Nettwerk had no presence), despite the fact she didn't even speak Chinese much. So yeah, she was basically a manufactured singer star. Didn't last too long apparently though.

Anyhoo, here is her cheesy music video with Chinese hipster guys with lousy haircuts:

She's a fine actress. But these music videos on the other hand? Yikes!:eek:

Favorite line last night:

"If I come out, are you going to shoot me? If so, I'm not coming out."

I just caught the last episode.
Cheesy special effect when they were falling in the car. I'm disappoint because Lola deserved better.
I guess May is back on the team.

I feel I have missed a lot not having seen Captain America. I hope it comes out on Bluray soon.

Funny line yesterday.
"Fritz get ready for a large file transfer."
*Filing cabinet comes through the window*

The next scene when they were getting the zipline ready, they anchored the hook on the ceiling tile. Good luck with that.

I bet they half-wrote that scene just to get that joke in. But regardless, it worked.:D

That was hilarious.

And May in glasses = shwing

I was sure hoping Fitz would take out Bill Paxton. Such a d-bag. All because SHIELD didn't send in a medivac (to presumably get shot down or something)? Get over yourself, Francine.

After the Captain America movie, I'm not sure how this show is still on the air. It seemed like SHIELD was pretty much screwed at the end of that flick.

But then, Marvel isn't exactly a expert in maintaining continuity between their franchises.

Have you been watching the show? SHIELD isn't an official organization in the show any more.

Yeah, I'm not watching the show anymore. I was just curious, that's all.

Do you think that they'll rename the show at some point?
I don't think so, as the show has to follow the marvel films. Sure sheid is done for now, but who knows what will happen in the upcoming movies.

I would imagine that the next Avenger movie is going to reestablish SHIELD or perhaps a movie before it.

I think Avengers 2 is too far out though.

I am really not liking where they are going with this. The super villian isn't some super villian and Ward is flip flopping. Oh, and of course, the homeless super hack with perfect hair and make up is super special! Who would have guessed that?
