[Agents of SHIELD] Old thread abandoned due to Hydra infiltration.

Agents_of_SHIELD_logo.jpg

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD began as a paint-by-numbers NCIS-style show with a focus on the covert agency's attempt at keeping the world safe. Things went sideways when Hydra was revealed in Winter Soldier. Nothing's been the same since. SHIELD has been dismantled by the government and labeled a terrorist organization. Fury has tasked Coulson with reforming SHIELD from the ground up. Oh yeah, he was resurrected and might be going crazy.

250?cb=20150415082040

Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg): Murdered by Loki and resurrected by the THAITI project (Aliens Guy: "Aliens"). He's the new director, appointed by Nick Fury himself. Don't fuck with his team or he will end you, politely. Now with cyborg hand!

188px-May_Season_2_Promo.png

Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen): SHIELD elite veteran who says little and packs a big punch. Nicknamed The Cavalry when she rescued an entire SHIELD team from a powered individual. Took a vacation after the nastiness at Afterlife. Currently on vacation, it is unknown if she will return.

Daisy Johnson (aka Skye) (Chloe Bennet): She's grown up from season 1, no longer the naive hacker living in a van but a competent SHIELD agent... and Inhuman. Evolved into a living weapon after exposure to Terrigen Mist, Daisy has the ability to project vibrations powerful enough to stop bullets - and level mountains. Probably the most badass person in the room. Bears the name and powers of Quake from the comics.

Fitz (Iain De Caestecker): Technological genius who suffered brain damage when Ward attempted to kill him and Simmons by dropping them in a sealed crate into the middle of the ocean. Mostly recovered with the help of Mack and a shitload of therapy. Loves prosciutto and mozzarella sandwiches with pesto aioli. Also Jemma Simmons.

Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge): Genius biologist who originally wasn't very good at lying, but got a lot better at it after she infiltrated both Hydra and "Real"SHIELD. Swallowed by the obelisk; whereabouts unknown.

450px-Shadows_154.png

Grant Ward (Brett Dalton): A spy sent by Hydra to infiltrate SHIELD. Captured, escaped, captured again, escaped again. Kidnapped Bobbi and tortured her at length in order to rehabilitate the damaged Agent 33. Left to rebuild Hydra after Hunter tricked him into killing her.

1b3216059e6b2a404b0b8f4c5f2a02fa.jpg
Lance Hunter (Nick Blood): British once-merc with a shady past, womanizer and hasn't gotten over his ex, Bobbi Morse. He's kind of a dick, but in that sort of awesome way. Now a SHIELD agent with a serious grudge against Ward.

Bobbie-Morse-300x300.png

Bobbi Morse (Adrianne Palicki): An elite SHIELD operative skilled in deception and combat. Worked undercover at Hydra. Abducted and tortured by Ward; currently in recovery. Bears the name, physical similarity, and fighting style of Mockingbird from the comics.

AoS%2B-%2BMac.PNG

Al "Mac" MacKenzie (Henry Simmons): Big, burly, stern-faced... and as smart with technology as he is emotionally intelligent. Enjoys lightly taunting Hunter about his ex and helping to rehabilitate everyone who needs it. Which is everyone. Fond of axes.

Billy Koenig, Level 6 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and one of the few men trusted by Nick Fury to guard secret SHIELD bases. Billy was stationed at The Playground, an old SSR base presumably in Europe. Billy likes to play Call of Duty during down time.

300?cb=20140728221025

Sam Koenig, Level 6 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and one of the few men trusted by Nick Fury to guard secret SHIELD bases. Sam was a bit more of a field agent than his other brothers, helping Coulson to rescue Raina from Hydra operatives. When Coulson took the team into the Kree city beneath San Juan, Puerto Rico, Coulson told Sam to head to The Playground and active Theta Protocol if things went poorly.

Eric Koenig, Level 6 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and one of the few men trusted by Nick Fury to guard secret SHIELD bases. Eric was stationed at Providence, a facility hidden in Canada. Fond of lanyards. Murdered by Ward during Ward's attempt to kidnap Skye for Hydra.

1de0ca4bb83e51a106707e15ca92ab84.jpg

Antoine Triplett (BJ Britt): SHIELD agent and grandson of a Howling Commando. Killed trying to save Daisy during her exposure to Terrigen Mist.

300?cb=20150425104200

Raina (aka Quillsandra), previously known as the Girl in the Flower Dress. An Inhuman like DaisySkye, Raina's powers include moving really fast and collecting rings. Killed by Jiaying (Daisy's mother) while attempting to warn the Inhumans of Afterlife of Jiaying's intended betrayal.

portrait_uncanny.jpg

Robert Gonzales (Edward James Olmos), the face of "Real SHIELD", an unauthorized SHIELD offshoot operating without Nick Fury's knowledge or blessing. Opposed Coulson's SHIELD for a brief time. Killed by Jiaying to incite conflict between SHIELD and the Inhumans of Afterlife.

    Question: why is the SSR base "presumably" in Europe?

    I may have missed something, but I don't recall anything specific leading to that conclusion.

    Because Providence was "Nick Fury's base on North American soil" (as said by Gen. Talbot). It's possible that Talbot was misinformed and that was just one of Fury's secret bases, but I figured I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

    It's usually better to give Fury the benefit of the "I bet he has another secret."

    But for the TV show purposes, probably safe to assume that Koenig was from elsewhere. Maybe South America (and we'll meet the European one soon?)

    We have no idea what Fury does or doesn't know about them.
    Coulson knows about something that they're hiding inside their aircraft carrier - and it probably has something to do with their fear and hatred of powered people.

    Where are you getting this?

    That long single-take shot of Skye taking out a room full of hydra agents like a badass was pretty great. No stunt double swaps as far as I could see.

    Edit: Oh good, that ended better than I expected. Although that was a nasty burn by Ward.

    Yeah, that was arguably the best fight sequence in the series, save maybe for May vs. May and TABLE! Not sure if that or the Sonic joke was my favorite part of the episode.

    You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.
