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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm so very shallow, but DAMN, Blair Underwood looks better than ever.
The man does not age.
I was really hoping they would give Drea de Matteo something more interesting to do. However, the twist at the end was good; and not quite what I was expecting. I assume it will play directly into the upcoming film.

Just remember, it's unethical to hook up with one's psychiatrist.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
From the promo, Admiral Adama is the new director of Not!SHIELD. Awesomesauce.

I am becoming less and less happy with AoS. I make no bones about having shallow taste in TV, but I want the show to have Coulson kicking people's butts, literally and figuratively, and I don't want to have so many people plotting against him and all that. I know we're in build up to Ultron, and it looks like they ramping up to Civil War (bleh), and I want to see Coulson looking smug and pleased for a change.
But May's ex was very nice.
I don't think I like Gemma any more.

I'll get a new one. Hell, I'll see Hannibal Lecter if it gets me Blair Underwood.

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.
Also, I can't help reading it politically; it seems like AOS is pissing on every point Winter Soldier ever made. In the Marvel Universe, Captain America, the symbol of what was best in "The Greatest Generation" takes an action that makes him a cross between Snowden and Chelsea Manning. Except that he still gets to do physical butt kicking too. And AOS the POV character Sky starts out by being an open info advocate and ends up deciding that the people need to be protected from knowing too much. And the story is largely about all the harm done by the exposing of Shield. "Ya know what we said in Winter Soldier? Just kidding?". And I know that Joss is pretty liberal, but story tends to have its own logic, and I think that is definitely there. Not the main point, but all the more powerful for being taken for granted rather than foregrounded.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

This made me laugh and say "Hell, yeah!" at the same time.

It bothers me that Coulson is so pro-Index.
But all the kudos to Skye's Dad, taking the hit that "We just pulled out of there to shut you up, you're none of us, go meet your judges" calmly, putting on his jacket, tidying his hair, and walking out head high. That was cool.

So, NuSHIELD, affiliated with Stark (doubtful to me)? Or holdovers from the World Security Council?
