Thought it might be something like that. No idea how you keep up with a show in the US with all the stop-start programming.

The stop-start stuff is a fairly recent phenomenon, as least as extreme as it currently is. A part of it is explained fairly well in the following video starting at the 2:30 mark.

I am very hype for Sif's appearance. They should also have JARVIS and General Ross appear.

Yeah I was thinking Skye was gonna do some special power shit too. Probably good they held off on something like that, although I often hate it when characters get fatally wounded only to survive.
This is all really coming good now though. Every character has found their niche a little more and the plots are intertwining. The comedic beats are far better and Whedon-like than earlier in the series. The bit with Coulson and Ward trying to work the hologram table was like something straight out of Angel, and was great. |

I HAVE TO WAIT TIL MARCH 6TH FOR MOAR?!?!?!?
dammit. I will say that I'm never a fan of the "let's show the same 5 minutes of activity from each character's POV", but I hated this one considerably less than most of this type of episode. |

Do you get episodes on Thursdays instead? New episode March 4. Really strange how they are staggering the episodes. This is what.. the third significant break without new episodes?

Last break was a midseason weirdness, then we had the President's speech and now we've got the Olympics. Yeah it is frustrating but there it is.

Didn't research what day of the week it was, but I thought I heard March 6th. Gonna have to review the DVR to see just how full of it I am.

If you think enough of your demographic is going to tune in to the Olympics no matter what, why waste new episodes during that time?

Same reason for networks not to air new shows going up against the Super Bowl.

Was that "GH" torso thing supposed to be recognizable as something from the comic books?

Speculation is ranging from an Ice Giant to an Atlantian to the Kree.

Kind of looked like "The Pale Orc" from The Hobbit movies. Maybe it is him.

Kree is a good guess, that could lead to Ms Marvel. Skrulls aren't on their list of characters to use and Atlantean is more likely gonna be hosted by Fox than anything.

Couldn't really get into this episode for whatever reason. Thought a lot of the acting was really hammy and terrible, mostly from Clark Gregg funnily enough. Dont think he's too great at playing serious. I did have that worry prior to the show starting but I think this episode is the first time I actually noticed it heavily and it took me out of the story a bit.

Also the scene with this Triplett guy and Simmons was the single most cringeworthy thing I've seen on tv in a good long while.

I'm wondering if that might have been Thanos. It would make sense if they're starting to build to an Infinity Gauntlet-based movie in Phase 3. There was speculation that the item Starlord is going after at the beginning of the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer is an Infinity Gem.
EDIT: This Asshole (Awesome, Abnormal, something else) Humanoid Is Thanos I. Last edited by parkmania; 03-07-2014 at 10:21 AM. |

Thanos was last seen alive and well and not a torso in a tube.

ROFL if Shield has Thanos cut up and contained, the whole Avengers franchise is doomed.

Ok, so I didn't realize we had seen Thanos somewhere in MCU already. Sorry I'm behind on my movie-watching.
I thought that there was a chance the guy could have been rendered unconscious somehow after a battle and kept catatonic to be used to harvest GH325 from until the mountain blew up. |

No worries. I still haven't STARTED watching Phase 1 yet. I'll probably forget about the spoiler by the time I get a chance to.

These constant breaks are annoying, same with Arrows current break, at least these are "hopefully" the last breaks until the season finales.

At least the break for next week sees us get a special about the MCU.

Also Clark Gregg's unfortunate inability to act well in serious scenes isn't really helping much.
