Dec. 14 Marvel Agents of SHIELD: On Sept. 24, 2013, I saw the pilot to
this show. This show is created by Buffy
creator Joss Whedon and his brother Jed Whedon.
Also Maurissa Tancharoen co-created it and she is married to Jed Whedon.
J. August Richards plays Mike Peterson. He saves a woman from a building that is
exploded. He is well- known as playing Gunn on Whedon’s TV show Angel. He
takes his son with him after he saves her.
Grant Ward (Brett Dalton) takes glass from guy at a
restaurant. He uses the finger print to
open a safe. A hot woman is in the hotel
room and sees him. She doesn’t
care. Ward then gets word that there are
guys coming after him. He fights them
off. I like fight scenes. He then grabs a rope from a helicopter on the
roof and flies away.
Colbie Smulders (How I Met your Mother) is Agent
Maria Hill. They discuss this spin-off
from the movie The Avengers.
Hill: The battle of NY was best.
They talk about super humans.
Mike is walking on street and Skye (Chloe Bennet) kind of follows
him. She looks Asian. I see that she is half- Asian and half-white
imdb.
The agents
Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division see the
video of a Mike
in a hood saving the woman from a building.
Skye goes up to
Mike.
Skye: You can’t
even find a job. There are guys named
SHIELD who will find you.
I’m really good
at computers.
Mike leaves and
Skye gets his ID.
Phil Coulson
(Clark Gregg) creates the team. He goes
to Asian woman Melinda (Ming
-Na Wen) to join.
Melinda: I don’t
want to be in the field.
Coulson: You will
drive the bus.
Cut to the plane
which is what Melinda will be driving.
Dec. 31: Cut to
the plane. A British guy Fitz (Iain De
Caestecker) and Jemma (Elizabeth Henstridge) are arguing. The plane is really nice. That is so Joss Whedon to have British
characters on his show.
Skye is in a van
talking about how “You can’t find us.”
Coulson opens the van and they put a bag over her head. Ward and Coulson interrogate Skye.
Melinda, Fitz and
Simmons got to the building that blew up to investigate.
Coulson: I want
to contain Mike. Some want to dissect
him.
Mike talks to a
doctor: The experiment works. I can’t go
back to the factory because I can’t get worker’s comp.
Back to the
interrogation.
Skye: I found
Centipede?
Ward: Centipede?
Cut to the
investigation. Fitz uses little
computers to fly around the building and Melinda finds a camera.
In the
interrogation it looks like Coulson is going to inject Skye with truth serum,
but then he puts it into Ward instead.
That is so unexpected and funny.
That’s Joss Whedon’s style. It’s
reversal of situation as Skye interviews Ward and asks: “Have you ever killed
anyone before?” Ward says: “Yes, a few.”
Cut to Mike at
the factory and he is asking for his job back.
He says he’s stronger and shows his strength by pushing this huge
machine. Mike gets angry and throws boss
into these pipes.
Coulson finds out
about Mike.
Mike visits the
woman at the hospital that he saved.
Woman: You’re
juiced Mike. You’re out of your
mind. Just like the last guy. You exposed us.
Mike jumps out of
the building.
That’s a good
surprise. You thought Mike was helping a
woman, but she was part of the experiment.
There is a video/
hologram of a man confronting a scientist.
There is this centipede on his arm.
It’s used for super soldiers.
Mike approaches
Melinda and Skye. He throws Melinda out
of the way. He brings his kid Ace and
gets Skye to drive them in the van.
Simmons: Mike is
a bomb.
Mike is glowing.
Fitz and Simmons:
He will detonate in a few hours. He
would have to be killed.
Coulson: Think of
something else, where a kid doesn’t lose his father.
The stakes are
raised.
Skye deletes
Mike’s files from the SHIELD.
Fitz and Simmons
sees the security breach and it leads to Skye and Mike’s location. They find the van at the train station. Skye kicks a gang member in the crotch to
create a distraction.
Skye: You’re
right, he is a little bitch.
The gang members get
angry and fight Mike. Mike throws them
around. The Experiment people come and
shoot at him. The “Cop” who is really
part of the Experiment come and shoots at Mike.
Melinda knocks out the Cop.
Coulson does a hostage negotiation talk to Mike.
Mike: You took my
wife, house, and my job. You told us if
we work hard, we’ll be fine.
Fitz: You’re
right Mike. It matters who you are.
A shot at Mike in
the head. He falls down. Mike is blue.
Simmons checks him.
Simmons: Subject
is in stable condition.
They drop off
Mike at a nice house.
Coulson asks
Skye: Do you want to join us?
Skye says
yes. The old car they’re sitting in
turns into a flying car.
My opinion:
I thought it was average. I love Joss
Whedon’s work on Buffy, Angel, and Dollhouse. I will admit I didn’t really like his TV show
Firefly because Fox cancelled one of my favorite TV shows Dark Angel
to replace it with Firefly. Also
when I watched a few Firefly episodes, I thought it was average. I did watch the Firefly movie Serenity
and that was good. I can’t love
everything by Joss Whedon.
After I saw the
pilot, I didn’t watch any more of it. I
have to get hooked after one episode.
I’m sure a lot of you guys are like: “I like to watch a few episodes
before I decide if I want to keep watching this show.”
The Tomorrow
People: After I emailed my review of this show, my friend Sherry told me
she saw the original British show before.
I was like: “What? This show is a
remake?” I then did some research and I
see that it is a remake:
Jan. 1 Avalanche
Sharks: I read about this Syfy TV movie in the newspaper so I checked out
the trailer. It looks like sharks are
swimming in a snowy mountain and you can see their fins in the snow as they
bite people. Here it is:
