Recap Follow-up: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – “Pilot”
Yesterday I rewatched the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiere and thought of a few more things to say, so I thought I’d post this little follow-up to my recap. The first thing I realized is that despite my best efforts I need to do a better job of balancing note taking and watching the show, because I missed some things and got some things wrong in my recap. I guess that’s to be expected a bit, but I think I can do better in the future. It was my first time writing a true recap, and it was for an information heavy series premiere, but hopefully it’ll get a little easier.
Recap: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – “Pilot”
When Marvel and Disney decided to combine the Marvel Cinematic Universe with cult favorite writer/director Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), the result was The Avengers, the 3rd-highest grossing movie of all time. When you combine that film with the rest of the MCU, including the Iron Man series, Thor and Captain America and their upcoming sequels, it’s an obvious choice for Disney/Marvel to want to expand the empire that has brought them such commercial and critical success. And who better to give the reins to their new TV series to than Joss and his team, which in this case includes his brother and sister-in-law, Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen (also known as J-Mo)? The result is the awkwardly titled Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which I will from here on refer to as something that’s easier to type. SHIELD is not the story of the superheroes that get their own films but of the government agents who are forced to deal with them “to protect the ordinary from the extraordinary”, people who have no superpowers of their own yet who are constantly in contact with those who do. And who better to anchor that story than Agent Phil Coulson, who was stabbed through the chest by villain Loki during the events of The Avengers and presumed dead? But instead of getting ahead of myself, why don’t we just jump into tonight’s episode, boringly titled: “Pilot”.

Penny: I love it!

Odo: I’ll never understand the humanoid need to … couple.
Quark: You’ve never “coupled”?
Odo: I choose not to. Too many compromises. You want to watch the Karo-Net tournament, she wants to listen to music, so you compromise: you listen to music. You like Earth jazz, she prefers Klingon opera, so you compromise: you listen to Klingon opera. So here you were ready to have a nice night watching the Karo-net match and you wind up spending an agonizing evening listening to Klingon opera.
