Meh.

I dunno. I have never been entirely sold on Coulson--I mean, I loved his character, but as I told [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Me too! Uh and I actually recorded shield last night while I was roaming around looking at sleepy hollow stuff. I was not going to admit that but I feel safe here. :)

The truth serum thing was pretty good.

Gunn's whole speech at the end was weird. I think I might have liked it more if DudeBro had actually had to kill him.

I do like Fitz Simmons, though.

At some point, I guess I'll learn DudeBro's name.

Yeah, I was underwhelmed, to the point where I don't know what you're talking about re: truth serum because I kind of stopped paying attention. It also pricked at some of my general Whedon-aversion issues. I'll give it a few more episodes.
