The agents formerly known as SHIELD

[orangerful]

All caught up on S.H.I.E.L.D. now. Did anyone else feel like the editing in the final episode was a little sloppy? There was at least one fight scene that definitely had a jump where someone's body moved inhumanly fast, and it wasn't one of the centipede soldiers.



And then the weird scene with Bennett at the end. First they show his lifeless corpse being loaded into a casket of some kind. THEN they show him crawling around and dragging himself into the Deathlok machine...only to have Coulson make him explode? whaaaa? We were so confused by that whole moment. One of those scenes needed to go because they added nothing to the show.

No idea who Skye's parents are supposed to be. Wondering if I was a hardcore Marvel fan if I would have picked up on it by now.

Tim was upset about Ward's betrayal. He felt like it came out of nowhere. I'm wondering if I went back to rewatch the season if there would be any hints or not. Then again, he is a SUPER SPY so why is it so unbelievable to think he was able to fake it?

Mae is better than me. I would have put that nail through more than his toe.



All in all, a decent ending to the season. It definitely improved from where it started out...but it's still not up to par with my Whedon show standards. It's a high bar, I know, but if you're gonna put the Whedon name on it, you gotta rise up to the challenge. I'm hoping that Season 2 will be better. I do feel like they have found these characters and know what they are doing with the next arc. I just hope all of Season 2 isn't just a big prequel to the Avengers sequel. :-\

What's everyone else thinking? Did you make it to the finale?

I loved the finale. I loved the whole show to be honest. I marathoned it within two and a half days. I didn't notice any odd edditing but then so much of the fight scenes are so out of my conception zone that it wouldn't surprise me if something went over my head.

Yeah Ward came out of nowhere but I feel that worked so well because it did. And yeah sky so yeaaaah.

I'm thinking this show might be better if marathoned vs waiting weeks and months for new episodes. We watched it regularly but then there holiday break happened and we never went back then just caught up.

I'm still planning on watching Season 2!
