Review: Agents of SHIELD pilot (mild spoilers)

[jeriendhal]

Summary: A mysteriously Not Dead Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) assembles a ragtag team of misfits a crack team of SHIELD agents to investigate wierdness in the Marvel Cineverse. First up, dealing with a hacktivist getting into SHIELD's secret files and a new hero appearing in New York after an explosion in an apartment building.




Review: I'm on the fence about this one. There was a lot of snappy dialog and the episode was fast paced and mostly self-contained, but I'm not sure Clark Gregg has the acting chops to hold the series together. But the story with the modified Extremis formula and Mike's struggle to be a "hero" while his life is falling apart was reasonably compelling. My one major nit is that I couldn't really follow FitzSimmons dialog at all, as they were talking so fast and over each other most of the time.

His ability to dodge certain things plus the "he must NEVER know" indicates that he isn't necessarily who/what he thinks he is, and that something was done to him that makes him human-plus.
