Now an Agent Carter mini-series is something I'd be interested in watching.

Rumor has it that t's supposed to air during the mid season break of MAoS as a replacement. But they were supposed to do the same thing with Once Upon A Time in Wonderland for OUAT, so who knows. Idk if it's supposed to be a mini, but with ABC's track record it wouldn't be surprising if AC is one and done.

And my first legitimate laugh out loud moment of the season: Super Soldier Garrett meets his TRUE end via Coulson.
It was fun, but it wasn't awesome. There were better episodes earlier on.
About Garrett: knowing that AoS is a Whedon thing and knowing that Avengers 2 is in the works, as the mechanical things were attaching to Garrett, I thought initially Oh em gee this is where Ultron begins. And then Coulson on does what he does and I chuckled and simply said, "huh."

Could the stuff Coulson and Garrett were writing have something to do with the alien DNA and be a tease for Guardians of the Galaxy?
...knowing that AoS is a Whedon thing and knowing that Avengers 2 is in the works, as the mechanical things were attaching to Garrett, I thought initially Oh em gee this is where Ultron begins.
Oh that's EXACTLY what I thought. It even kinda looked like Ultron when it started getting put on his body.

I was just stoked to see "cyborg" Garett, because it closely matched the current image of Garett from the comics!
Seriously? Season finale happens and NOBODY has posted about it yet?
Ok, ok, I get it. It DID feel kinda...lackluster. Not bad, but not...overwhelmingly awesome. Some good stuff though.
Not the least of which is....
WTF is Coulson drawing?
Who is Skye's father?
WHAT IS HER DAMN ABILITY?!
Patton Oswalt = Life Model Decoy?

That scene made no sense. We see Garrett's body get packed up, but then we're supposed to believe they just left him there? The whole scene annoyed me, then it turned out to be the setup for a lame joke?
And I don't know if anyone noticed but all of Sam Jackson's scenes at the climax were cutaways. None of him and Paxton together. Like they couldn't get him the day they were actually shooting. So it comes off like a stiff Waldorf and Statler routine.

Oh I get you, it's part of the reason I laughed. But still, funny enough to me at least.
Don't you hate it when someone you trust but in reality has come to betray you locks you in a box and drops you in the middle of the ocean? I wonder what is going to happen to Fitz.
At least they didn't have to combine all their powers into Coulson to defeat the half cyborg soldier.
I liked it, was a better pick up than the last few weeks for me.
I like the theory--and it's JUST a theory--that the TAHITI drug is a form of Terragin and that Skye may be an Inhuman. That would be really interesting to see unfold (if that's indeed the case). The guys who do the SHIELD podcast at the HHWLOD network are discussing this in their latest episode.

Yeah, the whole Inhuman angle popped into my head too. Especially with such a large focus on the Inhumans in current comics. Also, with Marvel Studios unable to use the X-Men this might be a great way for them to introduce something very similar.

About Garrett, did that whole thing with him seem weird? What was the deal?
Can you clarify the questions? What did you think was weird? Bill Paxton on TV? The bit where he is presumed dead & boxed up only to be left alone in a room with a super healing machine? 'The answers are written on the backs of my eyes, Flowers. Ask your question." general-line-delivery-creepiness?
This is a little bit like watching some super giant sci-fi epic with my wife and she is counting the number of bullets the pistol takes. "Really? Giant alien monsters falling out of the sky and that guy firing too many shots from his 9mm is what bothers you? THATS the part you can't believe?" "Yup". "Okay".

Everything after Bill Paxton on TV. And yes he was the 7th (as well as bullets 8-10) bullet in a six shooter for me.
Despite all of that I also get the feeling that Hydra was deemphasized in this episode.
By now we all know that Hayley Atwell is returning as Peggy Carter in an eight-episode series that will be set after Captain America: The First Avenger but long before “The Winter Soldier” or “Avengers” movies. ABC plans to air “S.H.I.E.L.D.,” which will go on hiatus in January, when they’ll air “Agent Carter,” and then they’ll air the rest of “S.H.I.E.L.D.” It's considered "gap programming" and will presumably give the production teams time to get caught up or straightened out.
Also from the interview linked here, I learned that the guys who wrote “Captain America” 1, 2 and are now writing 3, wrote the pilot fo this.

Those weiters also have stated they would like to write a Moon Knight script. With SHIELD dismantled, Spector could easily be written as a former agent turned merc.
Only a little over two more months! I'm hoping the new season starts out stronger than season one! I've managed to get non-comic book readers to watch once the second half of season one tied into Captain America 2 - so that's a plus!

...and that is why I love her.
Seriously... This is a TV show about SHIELD! A whole season is done and we have yet to even hear about LMDs?
And I don't know if anyone noticed but all of Sam Jackson's scenes at the climax were cutaways. None of him and Paxton together. Like they couldn't get him the day they were actually shooting. So it comes off like a stiff Waldorf and Statler routine.
Overall it was a decent ending though.
Fitz and Simmons in the ocean was great and really well acted from both of them.
Nailgun to the foot from May was just awesome.
Garrett coming back and getting all Cyborged up only to get killed a second later was very funny.
Nice to see Fury get more than just a cameo as well this time.
At least they didn't have to combine all their powers into Coulson to defeat the half cyborg soldier.
I liked it, was a better pick up than the last few weeks for me.
GoG will be out before AoS returns.
It looks like circuit diagrams to me.
