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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I am becoming less and less happy with AoS.

I really WANT to like it more than I do. It has really good moments, but none of them hook together to make a great episode. Even the reveal of "the *real* SHIELD" made me just go "Oh, for fuck's sake, really???" when I think I was supposed to go "OMG, show, you are so crafty and clever with your shocking twists!"

Everybody lies (I seriously can't keep track of who is keeping what secret from whom anymore, and they just add more secrets every episode), most of the scenes are lit too darkly, and it's just stressful drama all the time.

Though -- and I've said this before -- casting Kyle MacLachlan was GENIUS. I love Crazy Dad SO MUCH. Was this episode the first time he explicitly said he did whack-ass experiments on himself in order to be stronger? I'm wondering if they'll alter his comic-book backstory a little and make his experiments an attempt to recreate the super soldier serum (because in the MCU, that's how we got the Hulk, so I would buy Crazy Dad's massive rage and super-strength as a result of that).

To be fair, now that I think about it, last night's episode was always going to fall flat for me, since I watched it immediately after The Flash, which was straight-up embrace-the-crazy, yelling-at-the-TV, AWESOME.

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

He is such a delight.

I'm really digging AoS now that it's become so comic-booky.

I'm liking it less, in the way of any long-running serial, where you've always got to throw a twist to keep the story going. "Yay, loyal people who will help us! No, wait, they've actually been lying to you all along and are working for a heretofor unknown rival group!"

Maybe they'll throw an evil twin in, too--no, wait! May's already got one!

They just did an amnesia plot with Lady Sif too. Next step: Dierdre Hall guest stars as a woman possessed by Mephisto.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

For me Agent Carter did no favors to AoS because AoS just pales in comparison. No matter how much I know I'm supposed to care about Skye, I just really don't.

Though -- and I've said this before -- casting Kyle MacLachlan was GENIUS.

Yes, he's wonderful!

I would watch the hell out of this.

Totally.

You need to save that for a different show.

OMG!

I was not that thrilled with Agent Carter, until the last couple of episodes, when it seems stuff was actually happening.
