Clark Gregg shows people why he doesn't understand why "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" loses viewers who should be following avidly...
To quote, he says that people who have stopped watching and have critiqued the show... "Those aren’t geeks. Those are losers. You start to have people like Deathlok showing up; You start to understand that a bunch of these different episodes were connected. A lot of the geeks that I respect most…are very excited about where we’re going. So I’m going to choose to work for them.”
No, Mr Gregg, those are people who don't get excited just because Deathlok may show up. They get excited not over references and the occasional guest star, but about good plotting, interesting original characters and their interactions. They are often (and you would know this if you frequented Tumblr or LJ or Dreamwidth) people who are very knowledgeable about comic books, among other things. You don't get to choose who is a geek. Furthermore, you don't get to 'choose' who you work for, either, sunshine. You have no choice at all over who watches your TV show (which Channel 4 appears to have abandoned temporarily over here - probably waiting for downtime in the summer.)
And, for the record, I understand that you dissed Mr Steranko, without whom you wouldn't have a job, baby.
geeks,
agents of shield,
