'Serenity'
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
Earth-616 is the designation for the Marvel universe comics canon continuity. We live in Earth-1218.
Marvel cinematic universe is Earth-199999.
Do WHAT now? (so not a comics person) Also, I thought the TV-verse was supposed to be same as movie-verse.
...this is one of those things that could make me go cross-eyed, right? Forget I asked.
I want to know how Skye has joined this top top top secret organization at Level 7 clearance but they didn't confiscate her personal cell phone where she might, I don't know, get a lot of calls from people from her former hacktivist anarchy cell. Really?
I think we're supposed to assume Coulson is playing an even longer game than she is, but yeah, I was wondering about that too!

I thought in the first episode we saw Skye put some sort of sim card in her bra as she was leaving her van. So, theoretically, she could just get a new phone and have access to her former hacktivist anarchy cell.
the only two characters I'm not all that interested in are the two leads
Phil still not a lead? Where do you place him?

I haven't seen anything stating that the TV-verse was different. Where are you getting that from?
I don't think the reference to 616 was supposed to indicate we were in the comic book world, I think it was just a callout to the comics geeks.

I feel like they are trying to push Skye and Lone Wolf dude as the leads, no? I think Coulson is definitely the hook for lots of people because we know him from the movie, but a lot of the first two episodes have centered around the other two with Coulson being the facilitator/master manipulator/puppet master. Maybe that makes him the lead, too? I don't know. If so, then I like one of the three leads. That's better than Buffy!
I, too, certainly hope that Coulson is playing Skye. Although, "She's a risk" is going to get as tired as "Tahiti is a magical place" if they keep saying it.
I liked that they didn't do another round of "Coulson: live or Memorex?" again.
There was a reference, though -- she said something about a midlife crisis, and he said afterlife.

Yeah, TV-verse is part of MCU.
We did get another "Tahiti is a magical place." It's only the second episode, though. They have to lean on things to get the attention of the average viewer, who unlike us doesn't watch every second with hawklike vigilance. The average viewer might have picked up on "magical place" after hearing it in two episodes.
Can't figure out why Coulson would be programmed to respond to a trigger word with a repeated phrase, though. Unless that's so they can later distinguish Android!Coulson from the Real Coulson.
It could also be an unavoidable side effect. Not all resurrections are consequence free.
