Good point. I agree.

And how do you know that much of the Avengers audience who gave the show a try was lost? Also, are you saying that what kab0906 is saying is not true and that watching Captain America The Winter Soldier is more of a prerequisite to watching Agents of Shield?

Actually, I came here tonight to post before tonight's episode is over with to say that my quote above is tongue-in-cheek because I know how some people can take things the wrong way at this forum and are sometimes way too serious about things.

I only have the posted evidence of those fans of the Avengers books and movies and their comments about why they dropped the show. I am sure ABC TV wanted the ratings equivalent of The Avengers box office number and when that didn't happen the show went onto the seasonal renewal bubble. Even with the loyal fans saying it has up'ed its game every season and some review publications publishing a bunch of try the show again after the SHIELD/Inhuman War and Cal had to kill his wife so the daughter was saved from killing her mother the bubble remains. We still hear the rumors Disney forced ABC to keep the show on the air, where the speculation isto cross promote the next Avengers movie.

As to going back The Winter Soldier to Turn Turn Turn moment is the generally posted consensus point on the show finding its own voice and worthy of spending an hour a week on. When you think of it is a tougher task than finding two plus hours three times a year. At least the TV show is relatively free where as the movies are an hour's take home pay to see.

Now to Flint, the kid wasted no time at all weaponzing his power set, I doubt if he saw Guardians Of The Galaxy and Yondu. And right now he has an unlimited supply of ammunition.

So Kasius was sent out like Uriah the Hittite but as part of his unit Sinara was not going for that and the two ended up exiled to a destroyed Earth. So are we coming down to a Flint/Sinara showdown? They seem to have the same capability only Flint has unlimited ammunition around him. A big problem is that the Kree seem like a direct rip of TNG era Klingons.

Hmmm. I really don't see that happening.

Well, I say it depends on how much you like the show.

Huh? You know most of those people don't know anything about early 21st century culture.

I stumbled across an article that has a title that suggests a possible spoiler, although I didn't read the article:

You must have read up on Kasius, even though last week's episode revealed what you said above. But either that, or these characters are in the comic books and you are familiar with them from there. Also, I thought that Sinara's metal spheres were controlled by technology, but you make it sound like she has the power to control them.

I really liked last week's episode. Especially when Sinara told Faulnak that she killed her assassin. Also, I wasn't expecting Kasius to kill Faulnak.

Looks like they're getting back to Earth present time. I never liked that arc and the head blue man group guy should get an overacting award.

Disagree. This season has been outstanding and the best one so far. Based on this season alone, I predict that they are going to get renewed.

If they do, they have one big fat problem in my opinion- how are they even going to top this season?

I haven't liked this arc either for some reason, and I've yet to watch the last two episodes sitting on my DVR...which is a first for me and SHIELD.

I felt like that role was written for Jeffrey Combs.
