Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers  

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wait, no, I did like Coulson trying to be all super-casual, asking "WHAT ALIENS ARE BLUE JESUS CHRIST I AM LOSING MY MIND!!!"

I liked that bit, and I would watch the Stoic Lady Warriors Are Stoic Show Starring May And Sif any day of the week. And I liked Skye and Simmons scenes. But everything else about this ep can just go fuck itself.

(Rereading that, my issues with this show seem to be entirely dude-related. Huh.)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Yeah - way dudebro. Maybe Joss should read something more up to date than that course in feminism he took decades ago? (Is it fair to blame this on Joss? He is the showrunner, and I thus I would think approves or not the scripts. He may not get everything he wants, but I'd imagine he can say "no" and "hell no" at least.)

Actually, I don't think he's the showrunner: I think Jed and Maurissa are. Joss, Jed, and Maurissa are all listed as "creators" and executive producers, but there are five other XPs on the IMDB page, as well.

Yeah, I don't think Joss is involved in this show at all as far as the day-to-day goes. He may be involved at a higher level in terms of making sure the mythology stays in line with Marvel's wider universe.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Joss did say at the beginning that he was reading every script and sending notes. Whether that's still true, who knows.

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

I thought it was ridiculous that they didn't have extra-special no-touching orders, especially holding the night-night guns.

I thought it was ridiculous that Ward didn't shoot her immediately before she opened her mouth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also that! But even more so when she came walking over.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Seriously, he's given the impression over and over that he's just a big, dumb slab, but never so much as when he stood there and just LET HER TOUCH HIM after Sif gave such perfectly clear information about why that was the DUMBEST THING YET.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I thought it was ridiculous that Ward didn't shoot her immediately before she opened her mouth.

I said this to Andi as we watched.

Seriously? SHOOT NOW!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Seriously, he's given the impression over and over that he's just a big, dumb slab, but never so much as when he stood there and just LET HER TOUCH HIM after Sif gave such perfectly clear information about why that was the DUMBEST THING YET.

I expected there to be a reveal that he was wearing earplugs or something because why the fuck would you confront her alone, knowing exactly what she would do to you. I mean come on.
