SHIELD Pilot

Meh.

I dunno. I have never been entirely sold on Coulson--I mean, I loved his character, but as I told grav_ity, I never quite understood how his death was supposed to motivate the Avengers. I accept that his narrative role was to die to band together the Avengers, and I can even enjoy fic where his death profoundly affected them, but I just really didn't get that level of connection from the movies themselves.

Still, I enjoyed him in the show! I thought his trick with the truth serum was particularly good.

I just wasn't blown away by the pilot. I try not to judge based on pilot episodes, but if there was a cage match between Sleepy Hollow and SHIELD so far... Sleepy Hollow would win hands down for me.

Hee! I had my iPad out and was browsing through Ichabod hair pics during SHIELD myself. :-)
