We watched the newest episode of SHIELD last night and I was...underwhelmed. There was a lot of flash, bang, boom but I'm just not feeling as pulled in as I want to be. I think I might let these pile up on Hulu for a bit like I did last season and maybe marathon them later. Unless the internet explodes like it did at the end of last season, forcing me to watch. It makes me sad not to love this show, but it just feels like they are biding time until the next Marvel movie and the series is just one big prequel.


Good: I did like seeing the guy from Dollhouse as the Nazi because he's such a good actor and I like having him on my tv.

Agent Carter cameo made me happy and ready to see her show.

Also, Ward is 100 times more interesting as this on-the-edge personality. Another blogger referred to him as SHIELD's Hannibal...and I'm fine with that. I am fine with him being crazy and irredeemable.

Fitz...Simmons...the only part of the show that gave me intense feels were those last few seconds. (Also, at one point I thought he said something about them knowing he wasn't the real Fitz...which made me think he was a clone or was revived the same way as Coulson...or maybe I misheard).

Bad: What a waste of Lucy Lawless. Blah.

I guess Creel was from the comics but he came off as a lame X-Men character.

I just don't really care? Sadly, I feel like the weakest link right now is Coulson. Like everyone else has evolved but he's still Coulson? I dunno.


After being disappointed by the SHIELD premiere, I did go back and watch an episode of Sleepy Hollow since I never finished out Season 1 and I was much happier with it than I was with SHIELD.

We're up to Season 3 of Parks & Rec. OMG this show is quickly moving up my list and may soon be on my all-time favorites list. It's just impressed me so much, I can't even.

And for those of you that are amused by Personality Tests, [livejournal.com profile] padfootie posted this test link and then a link to fictional characters with the same personality types.

I got ENFP (variant: assertive, role: diplomat).

You are one of the Diplomats - an empathic and idealistic individual who enjoys exploring interesting ideas and prizes morality. You are known for your enthusiasm, optimism and intuitive skills.

My favorite ENFP from the list:

Rapunzel from Tangled
Troy Barnes from Community
Aang from Avatar: the Last Airbender
Marty McFly from Back to the Future
Jareth from Labyrinth
Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony
Captain Kirk from Star Trek
Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars (hide your younglings!)
Anna from Frozen
Linda Belcher from Bob's Burgers

I feel like it takes a while for shows to get off the ground when they start back up. Plus, with S.H.I.E.L.D., there was a huge chunk we missed.

I almost feel like SHIELD is better when marathoned because the story is even more arc heavy than usual. I dunno, I want to love it so bad, being that it's a Whedon Family Venture. But I think it might be something I save for my mornings off rather than setting aside tv time with Tim.

So yes.

I think that ep was set up to...well set stuff up. I'm hoping as those questions start to get answered it will pick up again. I did find Lucy was a bit of a waste. Maybe she couldn't commit to more episodes so they had to write her in and out. It is an interesting way to bring in her partner though. He is going to have a lot of emotional baggage and perhaps resentment at Coulson for his orders too. I still think Ward is a douche but it seems they are doing interesting things with his character. Brett's acting was stellar. And omg Fitz. Don't. Fiiiiitz

When I tune in again, it will be for the Fitz storyline and to see what they play to do with Ward.

I guess so many people were raving about this episode, I felt a little let down.

Yeah, it definitely takes a while for shows to get off the ground once they start up again.

Very true, season premiere's are notoriously bad. I won't give up on SHIELD entirely but I probably won't rush home on Wednesday to watch it.

That final scene was just made of feels. And why on earth would Simmons think it would be helpful if she left??? In what world did that make sense? It honestly made me worry that Fitz is not actually Fitz, that they did something to him to save him and then she couldn't deal with being around him anymore. I dunno...ugh, this will be the one storyline I check-up on.

I either want to sing and dance with the children, or slaughter them all!!!

...actually, yes that is pretty accurate after a 40-child toddler program at the library LOL!

OMG Parks & Rec, why did I not listen to everyone??? SO GOOD!

I am you except an introvert.
My favorite example was the Phantom of the Opera, because as much as I would LOVE to deny it, I have totally handled some situations by hiding in the basement until my feeeeeeelings poured over in childish meanness. (I have totally never threatened to hang the boyfriend of my underage crush though, ERIK.)

Furthermore, Frodo!

Poor Raoul! ;-)

Both Linda and Jareth have a tendency to burst into song, but I guess since we are extroverts, we like to do it with a group of goblins...or by locking strangers into a room with us (hm...wait, I did just force Sylvia to watch "Into the Woods" last night...)

Pinkie! :D That's awesome. Personality-wise, I'm more like Twilight Sparkle, myself.

And Linda too? Alriiiight.
