LOL! I hope you were being sarcastic! He said he was not from the warrior class, plus he was just that squirrely dude:

View attachment 28875

He is a WINO: Warrior in name only. :shep_lol:

He didnt even fight in episode 8. Those youngsters who stole the first part of the staff owned him and threw his car across the street on its roof. :icon_rotflmao:

Aw, man. They cast Vigo from Ghostbuster's II?

LOL! They so did...I was like "Viiiiigoooo!" when he came on screen. :) Not seeing warrior, not even when in full belief suspension mode. :)

Wonder what the numbers are for this show? Are they dropping steadily or holding strong? Will this show be renewed? It's a shame our resident ratings number cruncher has decided to focus on matriculating at that swank Swedish university instead of updating us on all things TV related. :moody: :P

Well I gotta prioritize things ya know. ;)

But regarding SHIELD's ratings, it's doing decent. The numbers were constantly dropping all the way until episode eight before finally upticking with the last episode. I suspect the show will be fidning its sweet spot around 7-8 million viewers and as long as the demos stay around the mid-2s we'll probably see a second season in its future. Now if it starts dropping down to the low 2s/high 1s there will be cause for concern, but for now its holding steady.

As for May jumping in bed with Grant I'm getting the feeling from May that it's not much more than "letting some steam off" for her while Grant could be getting the idea that it's something more going on. I hope it won't turn out that way, but IMO it seems like its heading down that route.

Next week, they are supposed to do some sort of tie-in with Thor: Dark World. Im also pretty sure they will get a second season. As far as May, I sorta got that it was a "letting off steam" thing, especially when May ribbed Grant for arriving late to the plane. Grant needs to get with Skye if there is going to be any sort of shipping...wait, then perhaps not? :anim_59: They need to NOT create any interpersonal sexual trysts in this show. That always seems to ruin these shows. After the lesbian kissing scenes in Primeval: New World, ratings dropped like a stone and the show got canceled. SGU saw drops like that as well. Nothing wrong with sexual relationships, just dont try and mix them in to science-fiction-esque shows. Who is wanting to see them? It sometimes can work, like the way they did B'Elanna and Tom Paris in Voyager. It isnt working in the nuTrek between Uhura and Spock.

I miss the days of episodic television where the team mates were just that, team mates not lovers.

This was the show I was most excited about before the season started, but I lost interest after about 4 episodes. Should I bother trying to catch up?

If you are asking if it gets "better", probably not. to be honest, the only reason why I still see it is because the wife likes it.

I gave up on this one by the second episode while others here still watch it. I can't say that it's horrible, but I did find it kind of boring personally.

BTW -- :welcomewagon:

I'm too lazy to read back thru the whole thread but I thought you, Rac, were a fan of this one? :daniel_new004:

Im the fan. :) I like this show, but I think they are making big blunders by shipping the characters. This ensemble works well together but they could ruin the balance if they ship the characters. They so far only had a one-time sexual encounter between two main characters, but it did not ruin it...yet. If they stick to the stories, then I will still watch. :)

Perhaps they can ship the entire show to Siberia and leave it there.

How is this show faring in the ratings? Is it gonna tank (yes please!) or will it get renewed?

You asked last time :lol:

It has dropped to 6.8, but its DVR, core demo and women demo is up, so I wouldn't be looking at a cancel until perhaps halfway through S2 at least.
