Wow this show has actually begun firing on all cylinders now.
It feels as if most of the mediocrity in previous episodes was just because the writers were just waiting for CA2 to be released so they could deal with that huge fallout and give us some payoff. This is excellent stuff.
And Ward has finally become an interesting character now that he's turned out to be evil. I actually enjoyed all of his scenes in this episode, especially those with Bill Paxton's character. If only they could manage to make Skye interesting as well.

. I was and can still be a big tool with girls . When will I ever learn LOL !!!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!
I just got a chance to catch up on episodes 16, 17 and 18 and DAMN! This show has become absolutely AWESOME. The twists and turns and Hydra, just damn...Im really hooked now.
I liked it from the start, but now I love it. Each of these three shows was like a cliffhanger!
I have to change the title of this thread...this show does NOT kinda sorta suck. It ROCKS!

Finally starting to catch up to you folks, just got to see Sif in action.
I am a bit disappointed that it wasn't a May/Sif Vs Ward/Loreli super smash up so we could see the two girls go to town, but a stray hit from either Asgardian would floor the human in question. Guess I just wanted to see some Human/Asgard duel Valkyrie action

Finally caught up after watching CA 2 to see how it's reflected in the show. Still pretty underwhelmed by it. Everything they do in the show seems to be so inconsequential in the movie verse. Their whole plot seems to be pretty self-contained. The whole world isn't in chaos after the collapse of you know what. Everything seems to be fine in the rest of the world. All the consequences seem to be contained to those within the know-how. I don't really feel the gravity of the whole thing being reflected on the rest of the world at large. Shield's presence in the grander world seems so minute. Eh, let's see what the finale does, if anything.
They mentioned Captain America in episode 17 and 18, references to CA2 which I have not seen yet...but yeah it ramps up BIG TIME.
Im pretty sure they will keep it that way. The show could be cancelled. The movies are not subject to "cancellation". But the Avengers and Captain America have been mentioned specifically in the show, and the last two episodes are about Fury, even though we never have seen him in the show.

Fury is going to appear in ep 1.22
Watching Cap2 gives you a better understanding of the takeover of Shield by Hydra.

Well CA2's script was still finished before the show even started production so it's not like there was a lot of crossover potential there, and IMO the show shouldn't have much impact on the movies themselves. The movies have an exponentially larger audience than the show itself and are even released in markets where the show doesn't air. And as OM1 said there is always a chance the show could be cancelled.
And after all, the original thought with the show was that it would focus on what happens between the big events of the movies, when the Avengers aren't out and about. Then it only seems logical that the movies would have a more significant influence on the show than the other way around.

Yeah, I accept that. But those mentions here and there seem cheap, as in condescending fanservice. Like here's a morsel for you guys. And I guess, in my opinion, everything they do in the show feels so inconsequential because of that non-influence the show has on the movies. Everything they do feels inconsequential. But how we value that aspect obviously differs, that's fine. We'll just agree to disagree on that.
They're supposed to be representative of Shield but everything they do and sorta makes what Shield does as a whole seems so inconsequential. Shield have especially lost their luster with me because the foremost espionage/intelligence agency in the world manages to undergo the largest failure in espionage/intelligence. They're supposed to be good at that. Pretty pathetic. All my opinion of course.
I hate that hacker chick so much. May's alright, but that sexual relationship with Ward was kinda out of nowhere and kinda made me like her less.

Chloe Bennet actually surprised me with some pretty good acting in the last episode. Maybe the Skye character has some potential after all if we could get a decent character arc from the writers.

Looking forward to see Coulson go on a complete rampage next week. Ward shooting Lola will not go unpunished!
