Someone at Agents of SHIELD is Reading My Blog; I Hope it’s Joss!
Marvel has released the synopsis the Nov. 19th episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., called The Well. I don’t normally post this sort of thing, but this one is special because I had the idea first!
Here’s the synopsis:
“The Well” – In the aftermath of the events chronicled in the feature film Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World,” Coulson and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pick up the pieces–one of which threatens to destroy a member of the team, on Tuesday, November 19 (8:00-9:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
So the team from Agents is going to deal with the aftermath of Thor: The Dark World? More synergy between the show and the movies? That’s exactly what I suggested in my list of 6 things I want to see from the show! So clearly somebody saw my list a few weeks ago and immediately spun it into a script, then filmed it and produced it for television in these short, few weeks. The wonders of television, amiright?

6 Things I Want to See in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been out for five weeks now, and so far, opinions are mixed. I think everybody can agree that the show is well put together, but a lot of my friends and online critics are waffling over whether or not it’s any good. Personally, I’m liking the show, but I can recognize that it’s not very exciting yet. It’s mildly entertaining at best. If this were just a normal procedural and not connected to the Marvel Universe, I probably would have stopped watching a long time ago.
Though who can resist those eyes?
But for exactly that Marvel connection, I’m not about to give up on it anytime soon. This is a weekly, live action TV show produced by Joss Whedon about the Marvel Universe. That is a sentence that none of us thought possible only a few short years ago. Other than a Firefly revival, what else could we possibly want from a Whedon TV show? So I’m sticking with Agents of SHIELD without regret. We’re only five episodes in, so that’s no time to judge the overall quality of a show. But just because I’m me, here are six suggestions for improving Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD.
Doctor Who Special is a Month Away!
We’ve only go to wait another month before the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special, and BBC was kind enough to give us a teaser trailer. Though personally, I wish it was more substantive plot-wise. Still, nice trailer.
It’s a neat little put-together trailer, I’ll give it that. And according to io9, it’s packed to the gills with Doctor Who references in the background. I just want to see some actual plot! But I suppose if they told us that it would give away the surprise.
Medieval Land Fun-Time World is the Greatest Internet Ever
Bad Lip Reading is one of the funniest and most inventive Internet funnies around. Well now they’ve taken their game to a whole new level with this Game of Thrones video!
Everything about that video is perfect. It’s hilarious, the bad lip-reading is spot on, the characters are brilliant and the whole theme of doing it up like one of those cliche movies is fantastic. This is above and beyond Bad Lip Reading’s usual output. My hat is off to you amazingly funny and creative people.
