I don't hate Skye. 




That being said, one look at Jed Whedon's wife and it becomes very obvious who Skye is based on.

Every Joss Whedon character Eliza Dushku plays?

I didn't watch it, but I heard she didn't die. Like I said, she's the Creator's Pet. Someone on the corporate level must be full on stalker in love with the Chloe Bennet and stealing her panties and framing them on his wall. It is the ONLY explanation for why they keep trying to force her on the audience over and over and trying to make it the "SKYE (Isn't She So Amazing?) And Also I Guess Some Agents or Something Show" even though she's overwhelmingly the least popular character and the show could be greatly and cheaply improved by killing her off.

Aw well, in my headcanon... Coulson died at Loki's hands, is currently in Hell and Skye is Mephisto.

As long as Marvel doesn't try to do any crossovers with AOS within any of the actual movies themselves, we can all just pretend that it doesn't exist. It's already hard enough for me to accept that awesome movies like Iron Man, Captain America, and The Avenger take place in the same Universe as this POS TV show. I certainly don't need more reminders of that.

I don't think the show is THAT bad. Some of the plots are boring, but things have finally started to line up these last few episodes.

Okay, so I've read up on the past couple of episodes, and got to see them, starting with Sif's. Jaimie Alexander is great in the role, but it's pretty much the same bullshit that you'd expect from the show. The next two, however, which are dealing with the ramifications of The Winter Soldier, have had potential. Not so much in the characters, although I give credit to the show for severely cutting Skye's screentime in the latest. This episode pulled out a twist that has the potential for something awesome- Ward being a double agent.

If they don't try to cheat and let him off the hook again, this can can turn into something good. I still don't think it's a particularly good show, but for the first time since the series started, I'm kind of looking forward to the next episode.

Skye's real name is Mary Sue. Seriously.

That was easily the best line she ever had on the show.

And I don't think it was meant to be a joke.

This got renewed?

This got renewed!?!?

The most repulsive television show I've ever seen got renewed??!!??!!

"The Adventures of Mary Sue Poots: The Most Wonderful Specialest Snowflake Ever & We're All Just So Blessed To Be In Her Presence That We Totally Love Her" got renewed!?!

/grinds teeth

I kinda hate humanity right now.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Eh, whatever. It's just another mediocre tv show. It'll die eventually.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I don't know that I'd go so far as to call it one of the most repulsive TV series ever (I've seen far worse, at least), but it's definitely surprising that this got a second season given how shitty the first season was. Part of me wants to hope that they learned their lesson from season 1 and decided to higher better writers, but I won't be expecting anything good from this series.

[Avaitor]

Eh, I've been trying the later episodes, and while they are getting somewhat better with plotting, it's hard to get invested in the show when the characters are so universally banal, or have writers who are afraid to take bigger risks.

But I'm not really too surprised that it got renewed. The show is doing bette in the core demo than what ABC has recently tried at the same timeslot, even if it was losing viewers each week. I don't see it getting a third, though.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

So, this show is finally on Netflix. As much as I want to avoid going back to it like the plague, part of me feels compelled to force my way through it just to say that I did. It's not too dissimilar to how I forced myself to finish reading Naruto just a couple of weeks back to see it through to the bitter end, even though that was literally some of the worst shit that I've ever had to read.

I'll just pick up from where I left off, which was episode 10, push forward, and then never look back.
