Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S01E04 and S01E05 Discussion

Agents of SHIELD

Ok it has been a while since I wrote about _Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D._ It’s been nearly a month actually and in that time there have been two new episodes.

There are a few reasons for this. The first is that I was on holiday. The second is that, as much as I hate to say it, I haven’t been enjoying the show. So here’s a brief recap of the episodes we missed and the some discussion about the state of the show and where it’s going.

Review – Thor 2: The Dark World

Thor2

The latest edition of Marvel’s assault on cinemas everywhere is a charming little beast. Thor was always going to be one of the more difficult characters to make the transition from inky page to silver screen, (certainly when compared to his Avengers brethren) but given most of the legwork was done in *Thor* and *The Avengers*, very little time is wasted getting on with the plot, such as it is. Rather than *The Dark World*, they should have called it *The Wibbly Wobbly Time/Space Shifting Shenanigans*. Anthony Hopkins knocks out a bit of exposition (primarily to let you know who to boo – it’s evil elves this time, led by Malekith, played by a virtually indistinguishable Christopher Eccleston) and on with the show we go.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S01E03 “The Asset” Discussion

Agents of SHIELD

Another week, another adventure in the Marvel universe. This week’s _Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D._ has a few twists and turns, ish. As with last week I’m not going to do a straight recap but rather just talk about the key points as I see them, things of interest that I’ve noticed, and anything else that I find cool (or not).

This will assume you’ve watched the show so yes of course there will be spoilers.

So let’s take a look at _”The Asset”_.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S01E01 “Pilot” and S01E02 “0-8-4” Discussion

Agents of SHIELD

I’ve been on holiday so my plan to start recapping Marvel’s Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D. is now a week late. That being said, I now have two episodes to talk about and that’s going to work mostly because these episodes function as two halves of a whole.

I’m not going to do a straight recap of each episode each week but rather talk about what I feel the key points are, a few things I’ve noticed, and anything that I find cool (or not so cool) in general.

There will be spoilers so make sure you’ve watched before you read. And with that, let’s get this show on the road!!

Awesome: Marvel’s Peggy Carter May Get Her Own Series

Agent Carter

Marvel is really kicking things into high gear. Their series of films basically already owns the box office at your local theatre and with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiering next week they’re hoping to dominate the small screen as well. If that one takes off it looks like we may get another series starring Captain America’s girlfriend Peggy Carter.

New Thor: The Dark World Malekith The Accursed Character Poster

Thor: The Dark World, Malekith

Try saying that five times fast.

So far we’ve had character posters for [Thor and Loki](https://awesomefriday.ca/2013/08/thor-and-loki-character-posters-from-thor-the-dark-world/) which were kind of bland. Now Marvel has released one for Malekith, _The Dark World’s_ big bad. It is, in a word, way better.

Oh wait that’s two words.
