I went in to "Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D." with high expectations, and "Pilot" exceeded my expectations!!! I knew that references were going to be made to "The Avengers" but I did not realize that nearly every movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was going to be referenced. Hopefully there were not too many references that viewers not familiar with the MCU will feel left out of the loop and not want to keep watching the show.
Best Quotes:
Hill: A little while ago most people went to bed thinking that the craziest thing in the world was a billionaire in a flying metal suit.
----------
Ward: I don't think that Thor is technically a god.
Hill: Well, you haven't been near his arms.
----------
Coulson: I think it's a little poop with knives sticking out of it.
----------
Skye: With great power comes a ton of weird crap that you are not prepared to deal with.
----------
Simmons: I'm not Hermione!
----------
Ward: She's a groupie. All this hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D., tracking powers, she might as well be one of those sweaty cosplay girls crowding around Stark Tower.
Skye: What?! I would ... It was one time.
Questions:
The guard standing near the doorway where Coulson came in to promote Ward to Level 7 - did he automatically promoted to Level 7 too, or did he already have that clearance to stand in the room with Ward and Hill?
----------
What is Skye's story? Why did she erase her entire identity and adopt the name 'Skye'? How deep is she into the Rising Tide organization? If she is important, is she still loyal to the group and working as a double agent in S.H.I.E.L.D.? Or if she is not as important to Rising Tide, will they try anything to get her away from Coulson and gang?
----------
What is Ward's family history, and why could his people skills be worse than a poop with knives sticking out of it? He obviously loves his Gramzy, but are his problems with his parents? Could he be a second or third generation S.H.I.E.L.D. agent?
Theories:
Coulson is alive!!! Despite "being shanked by the Asgardian Mussolini" and not breathing for 8-40 seconds. All Coulson remembers is recovering in Tahiti, though those memories might not be accurate. So, how does Coulson live? My theory is that Phil Coulson did indeed die in The Avengers, and the Coulson working for S.H.I.E.L.D. now is a clone.
In place of any specific details about how Coulson could have been cloned, I am embedding the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie "The 6th Day".
[Video removed]
"The 6th Day" co-stars Michael Rooker, who joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Yondu in "Guardians of the Galaxy".
----------
I am guessing that Lola was made by Howard Stark after he perfected the technology he was attempting to show off at the 1942 World's Fair.
'Ship Watch:
Obviously, the relationship between Ward and Skye is going to be a big focus of the show.
Some people feel that Coulson was flirting with Hill when he was recommending she should vacation in Tahiti. Although the exchange kind of had a flirtatious vibe, I don't think that a Coulson/Hill relationship is going to happen.
And I am going to state right here, right now: Simmons may believe that she and Fitz have a brother/sister relationship, but Fitz is in love with her. Having Simmons think of him like a brother is actually worse than being in the friend zone.
