I enjoy that the show references the movies, but I'd also like to see some crossover the other way. In Thor: The Dark World, Darcy can't get a hold of SHIELD, despite the fact that I'd think the Bifrost opening a couple of times in rapid succession should draw them right to London. Then, in Agents of SHIELD, we see that Coulson's team shows up in Greenwich, pretty much right after the movie ends, for clean-up. Given the fact that SHIELD could track Loki where ever the hell he was in The Avengers, I'd really like to know how a bunch of kids and Darcy were the only ones to find the gravimetric anomalies in London.
I'd really like to see, maybe in just a quick shot in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Coulson's team walking past Cap in the Triskelion, and Cap does a double-take as he sees Coulson walking around alive. I know it won't (likely) happen, but it'd be nice.
I'm disappointed at the fact that crossovers are required to get the show viewers. The show has been good from the pilot, and has never required the movies to be good, but people just keep waiting for the connections to the movies, which are nice but should not be the ratings crutch that they are proving to be.
One of the biggest rumors running around the internet is "Kree", which would be nice. The Kree will be introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy, and getting an informal introduction in Agents of SHIELD would be pretty nice.
I personally didn't think it would go over well, but with Coulson and the crossovers, it's gone the distance. I just hope this series carries over to Marvel Phase 3, Ant-Man, GOTG, Dr. Strange, Etc.
I know that the crossovers are par for the course with this shared universe, but I just wish that people would stop watching the show just to see how it ties in with the films. They're building a great storyline with the Clairvoyant, and it's a storyline that I highly doubt will tie-in with the films. I want the series to stand on that, with the occasional tie-in with the films just to show "hey, we're still a part of this universe".
Can't wait to see where this goes. It really does make it feel more connected than the Thor 2 film, they did a much better job, but with this story line I don't see how it could have been avoided, ha.
Yes, I hope they give the fans something more for the finale.
Then we come to Coulson's assault on Cybertek, which was, in a word, awesome. The part where they captured the truck was amazing, and really showed just how good a team Coulson and Triplett are.
Garrett's stuff wasn't particularly, well, good. His craziness seemed kind of forced, as opposed to his just plain badass evilness in earlier appearances. (Though, I have to say, back when the Hydra reveal happened, it didn't surprise me that he was Hydra.) The scene where he ripped out the general's rib and jammed it in that same general's skull was great, though. Garrett's best scene, I have to say, came later, when he died. That scene rocked, because it was f*cking hilarious.
Next comes the fact that Fury's appearance in the finale was way more than a cameo. It was a little too convenient when he showed up to save FitzSimmons. But when he got to Cybertek's headquarters to help Coulson, and gave him the awesome Destroyer gun from The Avengers, it gave us some of the best scenes in the entire series so far. Coulson and Fury make the best buddy act on TV, and I really want Fury to show up in a recurring role in season 2, but alas, it probably won't happen. Coulson's anger at Fury over the Tahiti (or should I say T.A.H.I.T.I.) stuff was pretty good, but altogether too brief.
Then we got the scene where Fury gives Coulson the reins to SHIELD. Season 2 looks like it's gearing up to be a rebuildin' season, as Coulson and crew set to bringing SHIELD back to its former glory. I can't wait for it.
There were some honorable mentions. Ward and May's fight was great. The Deathlok stuff worked very well, and I'm betting we'll see him more in season 2 as the anti-hero that he is in the comics. Ward being alive and still a bad guy sets up some good plot potential in the upcoming season. I can't wait to see what happens to Fitz now that he'll "never be the same again". Garrett writing on the glass in that alien language was a great way to show how deranged he was, and then Coulson doing it on a wall later was a great way to show that things aren't exactly back to normal with Fury's Favorite Avenger.
All in all, the season finale did what it should have done: be a set up of things to come. Come this (likely) September, we'll all have a great show to return to (and a great way to fill the midseason break, since Agent Carter has been greenlit).
BTW I was happy when I heard about the second season of Agents of SHIELD.
Not considered Age of Ultron, would not surprise me if it were, based on links to Dark world and Winter soldier in the show previously. Would seem logical as i think the show will continue to run parallel with the cinematic universe.
Will be quite proud of myself if I guess right? :-))
Somebody on the Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki mentioned that it's the language of the Skrulls in the comics. It'd be weird, considering the stuff that made them do it came from what was apparently confirmed (Skye's actress confirmed it, I guess) to be a Kree.
I'd like it to be, especially considering Joss Whedon's brother runs the show.
Cheers, looking forward to Guardians will be all new to me as know very little about them.
