I was thinking about how the pilot gave us another guy whose super-powers gave him rage issues, and I realized we also have:
-A crack female agent with issues with her past
-a crack male agent who's shown to have an affinity for ranged weapons and high places
-a tech genius
-A leader who was apparently dead for a while and is now alive.
It doesn't quite match up perfectly, even if you stretch it to cover Skye as "Untrustworthy outsider who triggers the first mission together" but it's kind of cute.
I think we have a crack male agent who shot a gun from above. Affinity for high places is a bit strong for "best angle was the mezzanine."
Three tech geniuses muddies the waters a little bit too.
re: the tech geniuses--I wish we'd be able to get a guest shot of Stark strolling in to accept adulation and competitiveness from the Science Babies and to plant bugs all over the place--which Coulson will stroll along after removing.
when did folks hear Skye call Mike "Gunn"?
When they're up on the balcony/mezzanine, before Shotgun Guy attacks.
I thought she was saying "gun" as in "that guy has a gun."
Huh, maybe Joss was punny there? Because "he's got a gun!" was how I read that scene.
She was. But I also think that it was a shout out from Joss.
I'm also behind with my cable bill and finally watched the show on my phone last night. Loved it. I have purchased the season on itunes and even on my tiny screen and with the delay I am looking forward to it.
