Marvel TV: 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' - The Thread

[Sideswipe]

The aftermath of Winter Soldier should have ended this show.

Hey, spoilers for Lucas, dude.

Anyway, based on the fact that this is getting better word of mouth, I'll finally return to this show when this season ends.

[Sideswipe]

I didnt give any spoilers.  I just made a vague observation.

[Pak-Man]

Haven't seen last night's episode, yet, but based on the last couple episodes, I think this show is starting to reach its potential.

[Bob]

At least I understand why this show had some commercial weeks in their schedule......they had to wait for the movie to come out.

Thank you for the vigilance, Johnny Unusual.  It is appreciated.   But building on what Sideswipe said, I think his comment actually went into less detail than what the Disney Rewards Points e-mailing had already said.  [And, though that Rewards Points statement spoiled a little bit for me, at least it did so in the service of preventing me from getting a major spoiler for Winter Soldier by my continuing to watch AoS before WS comes out on Blu.]

[Pak-Man]

Just saw the latest episode. I have to admit, this show played me masterfully.

All the good guys who I was sure were really bad guys ended up being good guys after all, and lots of the good guys that I thought were totally good guys are bad guys, and I didn't suspect a darn thing about any of them until the show wanted me to.

No Blu-Ray release date set yet...  I guess I'll have some time to wait until I start watching this, looks like it will be worth getting on BD.

I'd imagine we'll be waiting at least a year for season two.

[ShadowDog]

I didn't take this show seriously until the most recent episode. Holy crap.

[pezdrake]

Past few eps have been really good (last weeks was a bit of a bridge and a bit slow but they made up for it this week).  Looking forward to see how Marvel uses this to bridge from Winter Soldier to Avengers 2.

For those who watched through the series finale - and for those who also saw Captain America: the Winter Soldier - I have a question:

I am highly spoiler-avoidant, so when I heard that the post-break episode of this show was linked to a reveal in Captain America: the Winter Soldier, I stopped watching the show (just recording it to watch when the Blu of CA:tWS comes out).

Now, I've read the superb Brubaker run on the Captain America comic, so I know the biggest reveal of that film.  [spoilered for massive spoiler of the film - seriously, if you haven't seen the film, or read the Brubaker run this film was based on, you do NOT want to look in here!]

So I already know that Bucky Barnes survived and became the brainwashed Winter Soldier.

To those that have seen one or the other or both (and who read my spoiler above), I have the question: do I already KNOW the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. cross-continuity spoiler that links the two together?  Or is there another reveal that - if I watched the 'Agents' episodes I have saved - would spoil a big reveal for me when I watch 'Winter Soldier' when it comes out on Blu?

In other words - is

Bucky Barnes

- the only reveal (for 'threat to the Agents of SHIELD/Coulson'), or is there something else?  If it is only the first (what I put in the spoiler), then I've been delaying watching the rest of the season of 'Agents' for nothing, because I've known that for a few years (since whenever Brubaker wrote Cap).

Thanks very much!

[Sideswipe]

No, there is a reveal about SHIELD the organization itself.

[Tripe]

Yeah, I need to catch up on the show but the big reveal in the film is not the identity of The Winter Soldier (which is more a quasi spoiler really as it's right there in the title of the film for those that know the comic) but rather something much larger and further reaching which will directly effect anyone connected to SHEILD.

[Sideswipe]

The show also basically tells what Cap does to save the day as well.  If you don't want Cap 2 spoilers wait on watching the show.
