I'm not impressed with Do Me either. I've been told it picks up, but not sure I can be arsed finding out. An entire episode setting up a 'cliffhanger' where you know the bad thing can't possibly happen? Meh.

Shepard Book!

Edit: Duh, it's Whedon. Loads of people from his acting stable are going to show up.
Edit2: Gunn from Angel is here, too.

No, it's fairly close. In fact, that's how Joss described it.

Anyway, it was okay. Some of the dialogue was great, but the story was a bit tired and we've seen every character before.

Pretty English girl might be the new Kaylee.

I think it would have been better if they had to shoot him. And the flying car can fuck the fuck off.

Anyway, I see your opinion post now; that's a bit disappointing but as it's Whedon and the Marvel universe there's no way I'm not going to watch it regardless. I'll be loading the tablet up for my flight tomorrow so I might give it a go then.

First episodes of things are usually a bit shit, though. They have to spend so much time establishing who's who and what's going on.

Do you mean 33?

If so, you're right - that was one of the best episodes.

33 doesn't count, it follows a three-hour miniseries that sets the characters and situation up.

But it does it all again, much like The Train Job did for Firefly (there was a one-year gap between the miniseries and the first season).
Apparently, it was Lee Adama and the BSG creator (Ron someone)'s favorite episode, which must have made the rest of the show a constant disappointment :)

It also aired in the UK a couple of months before the US, which is somewhat interesting.

Maria Hill looks better with her hair tied back. But she without a doubt had the best line in the show.

Ultimately a bit boring. The "British" pair were utterly irritating.

I quite enjoyed this as it was but, more than that, I can see potential for it being even better post-pilot when the various actors get into their characters and start delivering the Whedon-y lines more effectively. Also, curious now for what the secret is behind Coulson's return from the dead. I have a few theories but I'll wait and see if they throw in any other clues.


ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Also, the flying car is something that's faithful to the comics in that Maria Hill and Nick Fury were always cutting around in one if that makes it more palatable for Grim.

Well that what was I expected. A few good lines, some story arc stuff laid down and a suitable amount of cheese.

I will continue to watch and will continue to be entertained.

I am very much in agreement regarding the British pair though - badly judged and poorly played.

Started slowly, but once it got going it was fun.

The British pair were the best ones, you losers.

A bit dull, but most first episodes are.

My favourite bit was the "two ways" exchange.

I'm a 1/3 of the way through episode 2. It's really very low rent. I'll give the rest of this episode a go, and then next week, but if it hasn't picked up considerably I'll give up on it and go back to watching Falling Skies and Revolution.

You stopped 1/3 of the way through in order to post an opinion-so-far? The episodes are only about 40 minutes long!

Anyway, I enjoyed that one a lot more than the first one. I'll definitely keep watching!
