Originally Posted By FerretAfros I have limited Marvel knowledge, but I enjoyed the show.

I suspect that either the budget will drop significantly (and it will show) or it will move to another time slot. Tuesdays just aren't a big-ticket night for a big-budget show like this; perhaps that's why it did so well against the competition And was anybody else surprised to see Robin Sparkles in there?

I will say that he was killed by Loki in the movie; he blasted Loki with his last erg of strength.

LOL Let's go to the mall Not us, she was in The Avengers and way bad they said folks from all the other Marvel movies would be making cameos. As for Agent Coulson. No one picked up on the other agents saying "your going to let him think he was in Tahiti?" We're thinking he's a clone???

I haven't seen The Avengers (yet), so I've been pleasantly surprised to see that I can follow the show's storyline without needing that background knowledge
Originally Posted By basil fan I didn't say the spoiler I had in mind. Only talked about what happened in Avengers because it's old news. >>you're going to let him think he was in Tahiti? Definitely something going on there. Might be a clone; might not. I think this series wants to always have things hinted at to keep the audience guessing. Oh, wait.

Originally Posted By phruby I like the idea that they are keeping Coulson's appearance as a mystery. I'm hoping they come up with something completely different from the "he's a clone!" surprise.

Originally Posted By velo This week he made a reference to working with the Avengers and the character played by Ming-Na Wen told him "yeah, but you died" (or something like that). So it seems that slowly, but surely they're going to be addressing it. I really like the show.
