I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Is Coulson a robot? Clone?

My money's on clone.

I didn't like secret agent guy. I think that he will end up being very annoying.

I think than an Irish person wouldn't be afraid to get an "F", they might be afraid to fail though.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I mostly didn't like Secret Agent Guy, but the bit after Coulson shot him up with the truth serum made me think that I could come to like him.

As with most pilot episodes, things felt a little clunky to me, but only in the 'these people are finding their rhythm with each other' sort of way. I do think Fitz and Simmons were hilarious, even if (or possibly because) I could only understand about 50% of what they were saying.

My money's on clone.

So is mine, and I look forward to the eventual discovery of said fact by various and sundry. Although I adore "Coulson Lives!" fic, when it comes to the actual franchise, I prefer the idea that the sacrifice was real.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I bet clone.

Skye (hacker chick) was annoying and Ward (secret agent) was annoying.

I thought it was very light as a pilot episode, everything rushed as to character. But of course we had some background sketched in with Smulders and Glass, and damn but it was nice to see JAR.

I really hope this coheres.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I do think Fitz and Simmons were hilarious, even if (or possibly because) I could only understand about 50% of what they were saying.

I liked Fitz and Simmons, but I think I understood maybe 30% of what they were saying.

when it comes to the actual franchise, I prefer the idea that the sacrifice was real.

Me too.

Thrive to spite them

I hope that we see JAR again. And I want to know where Coulson was and all that.

Secret Agent Dude was annoying, but I liked that he got truth serum so to gain Skye's trust.

I didn't like Skye at first, but she started growing on me, I don't know where she got her skills or why she was doing what she was doing but in the end...oddly she ended up reminding me of the main character in Pitch Perfect and I can't put my finger on why.

All around it seemed like the pilot needed to be 2 hours or 1 1/2 hours.

I didn't like secret agent guy. I think that he will end up being very annoying.

Not so much "end up" for me as "already became." I like Fitz/Simmons and of course love anyone Ming Na plays, but neither Agent 00Lone Wolf nor the model-esque super hacker were winning me over.

I wanted to like it, but I'm not sure yet.

And I want Coulson to be really alive, dammit. It wasn't a sacrifice, it was a "make lemonade out of lemons." But Fury is a Lying Liar Who Lies, so the real Coulson is still recuperating in Tahiti, and even Hill and Not!Book are in the dark. So there.

Ditto on disliking Skye, and Ward getting shot up with truth serum redeemed him a little. I'm actually a bit ambivalent about the Brit Geeks, they're a little too Wacky Geek.

It must be fun to have so much back story to play with. They've got all the movies as source material they're assuming everyone knows.

I wonder when the explosion of fix-it fanfic will hit the net.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had a good time, but my Coulson love is madly strong. I am hoping for clone angst, and I'm hoping he knows more than Cobie knows he knows.

I liked Skye more than the Brits. They remind me of the Binars from TNG, except less cute. I think they're more closely defined than the agent, and, well, I like the agent. I want him to have a hopeless crush on Ming's character.

"I don't think he's really a god."

"You haven't been near his arms."

And I liked the speech about giants.
