I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

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.

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.
Maybe implanted fake memories are a lot more shallow/redundant than transplanted real ones, or contrariwise are so much stronger/hardwired so that there's a Pavolovian response when they're referenced?

Recognition phrase, he's waiting for someone to give him the correct countersign.

I did laugh out loud at Coulson's final line about the fish tank.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Recognition phrase, he's waiting for someone to give him the correct countersign.
ooh, I like that one.
Aww, no fish tank. Just because of a couple holes!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'd like the show to either divorce itself entirely from the shadow of the movie (so, no more offhand references to Stark or Thor or Cap), or commit more fully. Where my other Marvel characters at?
Ward is really irritating.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Where my other Marvel characters at?
Thor: The Dark World opens in the US on November 8. I'm pretty sure we'll have tie-ins, probably the same week. Captain America: The Winter Solder opens April 4.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Isn't part of the premise no superheroes? I like the middle ground, myself. What life is like for the 99% of people who will never see one, but ripples will wash over their heads even if they don't know it at the time.

Where my other Marvel characters at?
Seriously. Black Widow works for S.H.I.E.L.D. (okay, I'm probably never going to use the periods again; that is a pain in the ass), as does Hawkeye. I think the show sorely needs Jeremy Renner's arms.

Alternate title: Everyone Punches Loki For 2 Hours.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If Loki is onscreen for two hours I will punch Branagh or whoever got this go round for the same duration.
But even though Tasha and the other guy aren't super (depending on what you read when), they are also on the other side of the premise divide.
