Should the slug or thread description be changed (temp or perm) to help people locate the discussion? Or should be consider the question up for asking anywhere? (How useful would this suggestion have been a week ago?)
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I didn't think of Ward as the lead, I was paying more attention to Coulson. Though in retrospect, I can see that was probably the intent. The actor is not charismatic enough, and the character not interesting enough, to carry the show.
I really hope the show does not turn into another Bland White Guy and Cute White Girl Save the World From Monsters (with help from their sidekicks, Exotic KickAss Beauty and Two Babbling Geeks). I'm in it for Coulson, at this point; none of the other characters grabbed my interest.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The flying car is right out of the original SHIELD stories from the 60's (I linked to the relevant comic awhile back.) I thought it was a fun nod to the original recruitment of Nick Fury storyline, especially with the car being from that era.
As for Coulson gaining Matrix-powers, I want to say he did some Matrix-y stuff in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer" though it's been awhile since I've seen the short.

Can I just say, I am in love with Clark Gregg's voice. Listening to him talk makes me feel warm and fuzzy and squishy.
Am behind in paying my cable bill, so boo to rewatching on my DVR, but at least it's on Hulu already!

The ABC site implied full episodes there too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Bland White Guy is bland. And Tuesday nights are the worst nights for me. Woe.

I can't believe Ming Na will be 50 in November, damn her genetics! Or healthy life style.
I'm still working through a rewatch, and again I am still struck by Coulson clutching the files to his chest in the beginning (it pinged me the first go-round). It is such a nice touch, however his recovery came about, that he does this defensive gesture against a horrible wound. Or mayhaps that's me reading too much into it. Whatevs, I really liked him clutching the files to his torso.

Wow! I still remember her from when she was on As The World Turns, and I just looked it up to find out it was 25 years ago.
