I miss Fringe This is the downside to waiting on Netflix UK. Not as annoying as the shitcakes going on with randomly disappearing/reappearing parts of Warehouse 13 season 4 though.

So, I'm just catching up with this. So far, it's hovering between "good" and "okay". I've spotted a Dollhouse reference in Episode 8, but no others anywhere else. It's like it's warming up to something really good in the next episode each week, if you see what I mean.

So... this has got very interesting now. Nice the way it links up with the winter soldier film.

I'm watching at UK pace with my kids, and I think it's got better, although the last one, I think would have worked better over 2-3 episodes. Malc

I've been watching this but now have the annoying dilemma of whether to keep watching despite not having seen the Winter Soldier.

Episode 17 heavily spoils the film, so if you want to see it I would recommend stopping the TV series at episode 16

Where does it "fit" though? The "Thor" episode fitted quite nicely after I saw Thor 2 at the cinema about the week it came out, but back then the UK and US were on the same schedule. Now, Captain America came out over here before it came out in the US, but AoS is behind the US now... Very annoying. Malc

Author:	Malc [ Sun Apr 13, 2014 17:56 ]
Post subject:	Re: Agents of Shield
Hmmm A very careful look on wikipedia suggest the UK is only two episodes behind the US, that's not so bad, not so bad at all. Malc

15 is just before the film, 16 is during, 17 is just after.

Cool. I've watched up to 13, I think. Might see if I can sneak out tomorrow night.

Watch 16 on your phone in the cinema.

Curiosity wrote: Cool. But is it 15-film-16 or 15-16-film? Doesn't really matter, I went 15-film-16 and some of the minor throwaway comments in 16 made more sense, but nothing was spoiled either way.

Post subject:	Re: Agents of Shield
15 16 Film. 16 happens during the beginning of the film, before the "big thing" happens. 17 is during the "big thing".

I also watched the first Cap film to get more backstory. Is it worth watching the second Thor movie beforehand, or is there nothing of relevance in it? If not I'm going to rewatch Avengers tonight instead.

If you've seen the episodes that relate to Thor 2, then there's not point in watching it (at least, not yet).

I didn't think the TV series was drawing any plots from the comics? Comics in general, not AoS specifically. Not really the source material then strictly speaking. Anyway, your best is to look for runs by certain writers. The quality of comics is as variable as any other medium's output of course and there's some real dross out there (99% of DCs current output, I'm looking at you). As each character/series has a (relatively) regularly rotating cast of writers and artists there's no guarantee of quality even if you read stuff for the 'flagship' characters or teams. Certain writers will tend to deliver good stuff regardless of which character/series they're working on at any given moment though so that's probably the best way to dip a toe in my opinion. And if you're just generally struggling to get into the whole comics thing it might be an idea to look at non-superhero stuff as an intro rather than going straight to capes and tights.

Just watched Avengers again. Most fun. Ruffalo as Dr Banner really is superb. Conveys fantastically the fragility and fear of his alter ego. Still annoys me how The Hulk magically changes from monster that will attack his friends to best buddies though.

Just saw Cap 2. Very good in places (OMG THE GRAVESTONE) but nothing stratospheric. I can imagine how AoS will now get very different. I was most upset that there were no crossover cameos though.

Looking forward to seeing the next episode of AoS now, given the events of Cap2. One thing that irked me about Cap2: ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! The nasty Hydra people are about to kill a few million people, including the President, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner (good luck with that) and anyone who might ever disagree with them. Why the flying fuck did Fury/Cap et al not call in the Avengers? Stark was in the same fucking city! A quick phonecall and Iron Man is there! Not to mention Hawkeye; why's Widow there and her boyfriend off galavanting? Annoyed me, that did.

Just pick it up from that point. S2 has started well which is good.
