Sorry not sorry

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is really bad. Not "Sharknado" bad (because that's so bad it's good) but commits the worse crime of being boring. Of being unimaginative. There is nothing new to say, nothing new to do, nothing new they're going to explore. I said last night on Twitter that it would have been an amazing show in 1986. It would have felt like

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BORING OMG.

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE JOSS WHEDON.

Coulson is awesome in the movies. I adore him. I haven't watched this week's SHIELD, but I'm betting Coulson as a character might be more exciting in small, awesome doses.

[stoney321]

He didn't stand out to me in the movies. Maybe it was because I watched the movies after seeing the fandom explode and knew he was so beloved and had a reaction to that? IDK. And I enjoy a snarky, self confident guy, but I don't get the lust I see for him. TO EACH HIS OWN.

I'm sad that I'm not excited about a Joss Show, Muse. :(

I'm right there with you about Coulson. He could be ANYBODY. He kind of IS anybody. Only- less exciting than ACTUAL PEOPLE I KNOW.

The show sucks and it makes me fucking sad. Esp bc it has huge ratings and will therefore continue on and on and on.

I'll be over here with Sleepy Hollow, I guess, which doesn't even pretend to be anything other than what it is. CRACK WRAPPED IN SPEARMINT DRIZZLED WITH CRACK SAUCE.

I AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS, BTW. (Hey - we're recapping Sleepy Hollow on HDJM! Well, Entrenous is!)

(And I seriously do not get what has errbody fanning themselves over Coulson. He looks like a tax adjuster.)

If this were on the WB, he would be a sexy tax adjuster with rock hard abs, who could never remember to pick up his drycleaning...

[stoney321]

...I don't see the problem? (Hahahaha)

I can't get at all excited about SHIELD. My brother was really looking forward to it but I haven't asked him what he thinks. The preview leaves me going eh. It sucks that its not living up to the hype. =/

[stoney321]

It is not doing one thing for me at all. Taking it off the DVR schedule, in fact.

I was more impressed with Sleepy Hollow than the first episode of S.H.I.E.L.D. and I didn't expect to be excited about Sleepy Hollow since I didn't like the movie.

Maybe if we hadn't already had Heroes and Alphas it would have seemed fresher but it's just revisiting old, tired territory without the excitement of the movie version.

[stoney321]

Sleepy Hollow is a fun ride - it doesn't take itself too seriously, it's connected with the fans, too.

[mander3_swish]

oh good. i'm not the only one. I tried watching shield, but yeah. boring.

[stoney321]

Nope, you're not alone!
