I have just about given up on it. I really don't know what I expected from the series. But a watered downed x-files procedural show wasn't it. I really like the pilot and thought we'd probably get an off-mainstream hero every week (or bad guy). Instead we are investigating strange phenom on our really cool airplane. Going to try to give this a few more weeks but it's about to find it's way off my rotation.

I watched the first three episodes, and I have the rest on DVR. I just got backlogged with everything else this fall. I plan on catching up this month since everything is about to go on hiatus until Feb.

I like the procedural stuff. I was a big X Files fan. I do hope they thrown in some more minor hero appearances, maybe some Cameos.

It's not the greatest thing in the world but it is getting marginally better every week imo.

If I'm being honest though, I was out of town last week and that episode is still sitting on my dvr unwatched. I've had opportunities to watch it but chose to do something with my kids instead when I'd happily kick those bastards to the curb for a second viewing of any episode of Arrow.

I still have the last two to watch.

The one that takes place after Thor 2, do I need to see the movie in order to understand it?

No. That was a pretty solid episode actually.

yeah I'm slowly giving up on this one. I have the last two on DVR. I just don't care to watch a show about agents investigating weird phenomenon. I much rather watch Arrow at this point.

I have already given up on it. Skye was the only thing keeping me watching but after the episode a couple weeks back I have officially wiped my hands of it.

Shiiiiiit...I just started the show. I liked the pilot and thought it would be full of cameos and back stories. Would be a great vehicle to explore minor characters. Oh well.

See that's exactly what I thought it would be when I first heard of the concept. Stuff like this last week's episode...water downed x-files (sans the actually dramatic writing or quality acting).

I'm with you. I have less and less patience for tv shows nowadays.

I've been watching TWD since it started, and I don't even care anymore. Didn't watch the finale Sunday, just read the re-cap and said "oh well".

If they want us to keep watching then they need to know their audience. Skye is hot, put her in something besides little kid sweaters.

Every season should lead to an introduction of a Marvel character that is bigger than the show and maybe new characters as well. For example the one from the pilot looks to be a character they will come back to every now and then. I could see some lower level Marvel characters, such as Bobbi "Mockingbird" Morse S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and Hawkeye flame, have a mini-arc before being pushed up beyond the show...I'm starting to look at the show as sort of a developmental league for the MCU.
