Speaking of Avengers here's an article where Joss is still nitpicking himself to DEATH. LET IT GO DUDE.....

Agreed. It was kind of light compared to Avengers, but quirky- so full of possibilities. A very solid foundation for a superstructure, as it were.

I wonder if Joss's experience w/ former pilots not being received as well helped him with this one.

Of course, having direct ties w/ the Avengers movie only helps,( familiar story line, characters ) where as with Firefly, the audience was clueless, and the show began from a standing start.

Of course I liked it. That was going to be a given. But I'm glad it delivered , too.

I agree that it was a pretty strong pilot, but like Auraptor said, having ties to the movies certainly helps.

I think that it wasn't great, but it was no where near bad either.
It certainly has potential and I'm confidant that Joss and company won't let us down.

So, any bets on who gets killed off first?
I figure either Fitz or Simmons, which will leave the other lost for awhile.

Agent Coulson is probably safe. And I hope to high heaven Ron sticks around for the long haul.

Don't know who'll be first, but Joss seems to kill of women and men equally. The 'cute,innocent' tend to get it worse, though, so MY bet is on Simmons. ( With no trips to Tahiti, either. ) Who ever dies, will stay dead.

I'm giving Sleepy Hallow a chance. ( since I don't see a thread for that show yet )

The guy doing Ichabod Crane does a fine job, but am I the only one who thinks Aidan Turner ( Being Human - BBC ) would have been a good fit as well ?

I guess, going on both their imdb work history, the guy they got probably is a better actor, but still...

And maybe it's just me again, but already in 2 episodes, Sleepy Hallow is starting to remind me a lot of Buffy's Sunnydale.

I'll probably watch another episode but if the audio quality doesn't improve I won't see the third. I watch on Hulu, which may be the problem, but even though I watched the pilot twice, I still missed a lot of the dialog.

So, just another action/adventure show with the adventure being what did they say, who are these people and what are they trying to do?

Nice seeing Ron Glass again though.

So far it looks pretty cool!

Thoughts:
-Ooo, nice buildings that looks like Paris. [reads the subtitles] Called it!

-Gunn is Hoodman! (Anyone remember Ghostwriter?) And he's still in L.A. Not too far from where I left him at the end of Angel S2. (I know, I still need to catch-up on Angel.)

Select to view spoiler:

And he didn't die!

-That truth serium bit was one of several hi-larious parts.

-FitzSimmons' scanner bots are named after the Dwarves. Possible nod to Once Upon a Time?

-Ming-Na Wen is 50 and kicks ass like Buffy!

-I want Coulson's Corvette!

-Hmm, Skye is played by Chloe Bennett... Whoa, Brain blown! This SHEILD organization reminds me of The Company from Heroes!

I'm thinking the problem was Hulu. I don't usually have too much trouble with Hulu, but when watching the Pilot, about a third the way thru, I had to refresh everything. Although my sound was ok, the video was studdering and skipping frames just to keep up.

(Damn, everytime I look up which is which, 5 mins later I forget! Okay, one way to remember: Fitz->think FitzPatrick.)

I vote NOT Simmons. She's so cute!

(I pretty much just guaranteed she get kababbed. Damnit!)
