cblj_backupI've seen Agents Of SHIELD! It's time for Sam's Three Things!
Spoilers for Episode 1.03, I Ship Fitz And His Popcorn
1. I don't care what anyone says I like Skye and I like watching her be a combination of total mess and complete awesome. And I still don't care for Ward, but come on, does anyone? I like FitzSimmons more than Skye, and I like Melinda more than anyone else but Coulson, but Skye and Ward are clearly going to get all the airtime so I might as well proclaim it. I like Skye.
2. I figured out what this show is missing, at least for me, and that is what the comics industry calls Kitchen Table. It's what made Buffy brilliant, that it was Domestic With Vampires, and it's what I felt was in large part missing from other Whedon shows. I want to see Coulson's apartment and Skye's weird friends (you know she has weird friends) and Melinda's cool hobbies and Fitz and Simmons taking evenings off to teach science to high schoolers and Ward playing Parcheesi. Because it's super-hard to be all badass and deadpan while playing Parcheesi, did you think I didn't have a reason? Anyway, I feel like it's all either fighting or fight training, and I think a lot of complaints about the lack of depth of character would go away if we had some kitchen table business to give us some depth of character.
3. OMG GRAVITON. Coulson made his VERY OWN SUPERVILLAIN. Aren't you adorable, Phil.
3a. And why wouldn't you run an op in a business suit? Anything else just wouldn't be a challenge.

"That's your rival's name? Corporal Poopyhead?"
"Put down my Game Boy, Ward. That's an order."
"Phil, you've gotta be..."
"That's. An. Order."
"Okay, boss."
*half an hour later*
Coulson mashed the B button as fast as his rusty thumbs would let him. One shake. Two shakes. *poof*
"Goddamnit!"
He'd been trying to catch Zapdos for twenty minutes. It'd cost him 14 Ultra Balls and 9 Great Balls so far. He was down to old-fashioned Pokeballs. And worse, Zapdos kept wearing away his Venusaur in between bouts of pissing him off by not staying in the damned ball.
"You know, that B button thing is a myth," Ward said, leaning on the office door. Coulson shot him an exasperated look. "Just sayin'," Ward added as he walked away.
Coulson threw another Pokeball at the Zapdos. One shake. *poof*
"Oh for the love of God..."
