NYPD BLUE Actor Joins AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2

Huh. Bit of a spoiler in there perhaps?

Alphonso is a fun word to say.

Ah, hadn't seen the update to the earlier article about maclachlan...so not a spoiler.

Lucy Lawless joined this show? Is she still hot?

LOL, I saw it, and it was gross

apparently so is the captain (from HIMYM) http://moviepilot.com/posts/2014/08/07/update-twin-peaks-actor-joins-agents-of-s-h-i-e-l-d-as-the-doctor-2170765?lt_source=external%2Cmanual#!bx7GJO

@Yoss

you didn't see the red skid-mark on that dude's upper-back? Nasty

RIP NCAA.

[frick] this.

MsDarkPhoenix , thanks I forgot to add that! There now

Yeah the NCAA is probably [frick]ed. yoss, I hope you realize Notre Dame will basically have to go undefeated to get into the playoffs unless they break down and join a conference.

If you don't like it don't came here to stress.

SAMURAILOSER = FAIL

LOL, looks like someone's butt is hurt. Don't get mad at me, because AOShit sucks.

You're such a loser XD
And AOS don't sucks, and this make hurt your butt... the show hit his stride, suffering and pay for bad decision, and this second season is having great casting call...and this hurt you.

so pity.

Let me guess, he won't have super powers either? lol

I predict a much better season for AoS. in fact, the last 5 episodes of its freshman season were pretty damn compelling and entertaining pieces of work. It didn't happen automatically but I have a feeling that Marvel is going to find its stride in the TV realm pretty soon. Daredevil is shaping up pretty strongly. AoS is going to be a much more focused and energized show.

I have a hard time betting against Marvel Studios doing anything at this point. if Kevin Fiege held a press conference and told us all that Marvel Studios team is branching into medical research to find cures for diseases, I'd be a bit optimistic.....

@ Deepee:

"I predict a much better season for AoS. in fact, the last 5 episodes of its freshman season were pretty damn compelling and entertaining pieces of work."

--If you are basing the success of this show upon the last 5 eps, then that's not much to go on. 5 good eps out of 22 is an abysmal failure.

"It didn't happen automatically but I have a feeling that Marvel is going to find its stride in the TV realm pretty soon. Daredevil is shaping up pretty strongly. AoS is going to be a much more focused and energized show."

--Regarding DD, I"m not sure what people are seeing, as an indication that it's "shaping up pretty strongly". We've not seen any footage, and it's taken nearly 2 years for them to even put the cast together. from the time that they first announced this "show". The movies get announced and go into production faster than that. Until we see that Cox guy in the actual DD uniform, then this "show" is basically an unknown.

As for AOShit, you have no proof (other than "the last 5 eps", that is) that it will improve. If it's still beholden to the movies, then it's gonna continue to have a hard time standing on its own.

Especially when casual viewers are going to continue to look for the movie experience from this TV show, which they haven't gotten yet.

"I have a hard time betting against Marvel Studios doing anything at this point. if Kevin Fiege held a press conference and told us all that Marvel Studios team is branching into medical research to find cures for diseases, I'd be a bit optimistic....."

--The problem with this approach, is that people have drunk the Marvel Kool-Aid. Besides, this isn't "Marvel Studios", this is "Marvel Television". 2 different branches of the same company.

That's like saying Marvel animation is the same as Marvel Studios (and we all know how bad Marvel's cartoons are). One part handles the movies, one part handles the cartoons, and one part handles the TV shows. Granted, the TV shows and the movies are "Supposed" to be connected, but the reality is they are only nominally connected.

The reality is, Marvel has had very little success with TV. Their only true success was the Hulk TV show, and that was from almost 40 years ago.

@ Write33:

"so weird. Arrow announces guest stars / characters that I've heard of from the comics (e.g. Manhunter or Katanna)..I wish AoS would...Marvel has such a rich and as deep, or deeper, pool of characters to draw from, 'would be awesome to see them live."

--The problem with this, is that Marvel doesn't really have access to most of those characters. And what little roster they do have access to, they are saving for the movies.

That's why, in 6 years worth of movies, we've only seen 4 major villains between all of them. And that's just for the movies. They have even less for the TV shows.

Meanwhile, DC is showing Ra's Al Ghul, the Rogues, the SS, Penguin, Riddler, and others in the first season (3rd for Arrow) of their shows.

@Samurai36

Or, you know, they could keep working with what they have. If things don't improve, then I will most certainly tune out.

Nobody is faulting WB for trying to start their own DCCU (only the way they are going about it), so why should Marvel not get a shot at improving the quality of their tv product?

And why,Samurai, you don't enjoy all the shows, assuming that CW and ABC perfectly set the whole week to don't stomp their feet each other, like a perfect lobby? The war is all in your empty head.

And AOS season 2 will be great.
