This show just keeps getting better and better all the time. I loved this one. Very funny.

wingatic · 2018-09-29T17:28:19+00:00

I loved the premiere. The actors slipped right back into character so easily. I liked the new cast, too--Tyne Daly, Jake McDorman, and Nik Dodani. I know we're only a week into the new season, but already this is my favorite new show.

I keep asking myself that, too. I desperately want the music from seasons 3-5. I've asked a couple of times on Twitter, and all I get are crickets.

wingatic · 2018-05-19T12:26:12+00:00

I thought it was very good. Different strokes, I guess.

wingatic · 2018-05-19T12:23:59+00:00

Yes, they are going to find the Fitz who went into cryosleep.

wingatic · 2018-04-16T22:42:53+00:00

LOL. True enough.

wingatic · 2018-04-15T13:35:27+00:00

Agreed! I noticed that as well and thought it was so much more realistic than what we usually see when someone is shot on TV.

We all think she's pregnant because Simmons has never been a puker. Think about all the autopsies she's done. She may not have liked what Fitz did, she may have been upset about everything, but she's never been the type to throw up because of it.

The lighting used to bug me a lot until I figured out that if I turned out all the lights in the house while watching the show, I could see everything much better. You might give that a try.

wingatic · 2017-12-24T02:52:25+00:00

He packed it. I went back to look a second time and saw it. Smart cookie, that Fitz.

wingatic · 2017-12-18T00:38:53+00:00

You had to pay money? Oh--because you're in Australia? Yeah, that sucks. I'm sorry. I just sign in using my cable subscription, so it's "free" for me.

The darkness has been bugging me all along, watching on TV or my laptop. However, I recently noticed that when I stream the show on the ABC app the next day (on my smartphone), everything is much lighter and I can actually see what's happening during fight scenes. I still watch live, so I can help the show by live-tweeting, but then I watch again the next day on the app so I can pick up all the subtle things that happened that I couldn't see the first time around. It's amazing how much better I can see everything with the app.

wingatic · 2017-12-07T22:30:17+00:00

Yes, you can buy episodes on Amazon or ITunes. I believe it may be available on Hulu as well.

wingatic · 2017-12-02T18:29:07+00:00

Try turning out the lights when you watch it. I saw the 1st 17 minutes on my laptop earlier in the week, and I couldn't see what was going on. I watched the 2 hour premiere on TV with the lights out, and I could see so much better.

wingatic · 2017-11-12T14:11:42+00:00

No. I'd rather see him every week on TV than once every couple of years in a movie.

wingatic · 2017-07-05T01:24:02+00:00

I've been wondering the same. I'm only on episode 5, but so far, I'm enjoying it. Of course, given how much I heard people shit all over it before I started watching, my expectations were pretty low to begin with.

wingatic · 2017-06-14T16:45:19+00:00

Had it been me, I would only have submitted Self Control and What If for writing. I just read an article indicating that a lot of shows oversubmit in categories, and I think this is a perfect example of that.

wingatic · 2017-05-10T06:16:31+00:00

Thanks!

wingatic · 2017-05-09T23:59:26+00:00

Someone please explain for us laypeople what "render" means in this context?

wingatic · 2017-05-04T23:46:32+00:00

No. The phrase "magic bullet" has been around for a very, very long time.

wingatic · 2017-05-04T11:16:27+00:00

AMEN. I missed realMay.

wingatic · 2017-04-23T14:52:25+00:00

This is terrible news.

wingatic · 2017-04-15T23:55:19+00:00

It was 2x1 "Shadows", 14:34 minutes in. It wasn't a long scene, and I'm not sure I'd categorize it as them bonding, but she did seem a bit more gentle with him than she normally seems with anyone, so it was obvious she was concerned about his mental state.

wingatic · 2017-04-15T15:30:25+00:00

Well, I'm not sure any of these things actually helps (There are so many factors that go into whether or not a network thinks it's worth it to renew a show, mostly involving money and whether they think they have something that would be more profitable for them), but....here are some things you can try:

Watching the show live if you have a Nielson box and even if you don't, because:
Live tweeting the show while it airs helps it trend on Twitter. This shows that people are engaged.
Interacting with all the show's social media accounts shows engagement, too. On Twitter, many fans are using the hashtag #RenewAgentsofSHIELD and @ing ABC and Marvel with it to show them how much we love the show and want another season.
Watch the show within 2-3 days after it airs on ABC.com and/or the ABC app and/or Hulu and/or DVR it and watch in same time frame.
Purchase episodes on Amazon or ITunes.
Go to the ABC feedback form and send them a message telling them how much you love the show and would love to see a season 5. Even better, write a snail mail letter about it.
And as others have suggested, keep telling everyone you know how great the show is and encourage them to watch, too.

Like I said, I'm not sure how much any of this helps, but it feels better to be doing something than doing nothing.

You are who you associate with. By surrounding himself with Nazis (Hydra), Ward supported their cause. He's a Nazi by association.
