The Marvel universe expands! Coulson's SHIELD team unites! But is Agents of SHIELD living up to its premise and promise? Find out as we discuss the newest episode, The Asset!
NEWS:
The ratings slipped from episode one to two — but does that mean anything?
The episode synopsis for episode five has been released, and introduces a new character from the comic universe, Raina:
An elusive girl in a flower dress may hold the key to the mystery that brings Coulson and team to Asia to rescue a young man with an unusual and dangerous power; and Skye has a secret that jeopardizes her relationship with the team right when they need her most.
And there were some SHIELD comic cover tie-ins announced — http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=48299
MAIN TOPIC:
We talk about:
Graviton (Dr. Hall) — do we want to see him again? Is this a cliche supervillain origin?
Skye and Ward, sittin' in a tree? He's training her, at least, and we get some of their backstory.
They went obscure by bringing in Graviton, but what even MORE obscure characters did Ben want to see?
Ben's big question: is this episode going to change anyone's mind about watching Agents of SHIELD? Will this bring in new viewers or keep “on the bubble” viewers engaged?
Is this episode the most comic book-ish of the episodes so far?
