IMPORTANT QUESTION

[hafital]

Is Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D worth it? Do I need to watch it in order to greater appreciate the Marvel Cinematic Universe? I get a sort of indifferent vibe about it on my friend's list - most of you seem kind of just okay with it, not over the moon. But that's just a cursory impression. Should I bother? Do I need to? Are important things revealed? I do love Agent Coulson, but not so much that I need more of him or anything, so I have been mostly uninterested in Agents of SHIELD. But, then I get curious.


Also, and this is probably just my own thing, but I kind of find it irksome that he's dead in The Avengers but then he's apparently doesn't really die. I don't know, I think it cheapens the emotional payout of The Avengers, but I realize that makes me a bit of a hypocrite since I've been fully on board in other instances when formally dead characters are retconned into aliveness. Whatevs.

In other words, things are NUTS over here, but in a generally good way. Most of it isn't even book stuff, just regular life/work stuff. OY.

Still rewatching The X-Files. Mulder is a goober. Scully is lovely. And watching MCU! Fun! Not reading much, though. No time to read! argh!

Also, rewatching Highlander, which is like coming home. love love love. I am sort of working on my hl_shortcuts story? Sort of? If thinking really hard is working? Isn't it? I say it is.

I had minor dental surgery for receding gums (not graft, but pinhole/collagen fibers whatever) last week and it was HORRID. Successful, but lord it was uncomfortable and like 2 hours of torture. And 6 weeks of recovery. WHUT? We still have to do the upper gums, but I am going to put that off for a while considering I can't do a 6 week recovery thing for the early part of the year at least. ugh.

I haven't been talking about it much, but I've really been enjoying Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. since the beginning. Admittedly, the first half of S1 wasn't exactly the strongest, but it's been steadily picking up as it progresses.

Like nestra said, it really started getting better toward the end of S1 once the events of Winter Soldier happened. And, based on what we know about some of the upcoming films, I personally suspect some of the things that have happening on the show may be coming up in some way or another.

You're one of the only ones I see that does mention it on my f-list! :)

I think that I'm more likely to talk about adorable trick-or-treaters dressing like characters from the show than the show itself, though. :-P
