For those complaining about the lack of supervillains in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, here's the best news you'll hear all day.
The character Mike Peterson, played by J August Richards on the series,
will become the cyborg [Deathlok]. “We’ve been leaving breadcrumbs along the way,”
Loeb said. “This is a major Marvel character appearing on TV, on film
for the first time.”
He'll appear in the next new episode on February 4th titled "Tracks" which will also include a cameo by Stan Lee. This is big news. Should I write a whole post on this topic?
7. Stephen Amell Sets The Record Straight On That Justice League Story (via Bleeding Cool)
"Something I need to get off of my chest.
"When I do press, I try and be open, honest and thoughtful. That being said… I find it incredibly discouraging to see a headline like the ones I’ve been seeing this morning. Headlines that aren’t just a stretch, they’re totally fabricated. At no point, have I had “studio level” discussions about any feature films at Warner Bros.
"In this particular instance, when I read articles that take a pretty straightforward answer and slap a title on it that has little to no correlation to what I’ve actually said, it makes it seem as though I’m disrespecting my current position. Which is bulls**t. And why would I do that? I mean… I’m not the smartest dude in the world. (After all… I picked a career in acting.) But would I really just casually subvert a process cloaked in secrecy? A process – by the way – being run by the company who currently employs me. C’MON!
"We’re making a kick a** show. We will continue to make a kick a** show. And I will continue to interact and provide interesting content for our fans. Because I love our fans. If every once and a while, some d***weed wants to pull a headline out of thin air to generate page views, then that’s the price we pay." - Stephen Amell6.

Almost Human (01x08) "You Are Here" Recommended
A good episode that takes the plot of the Tom Selleck movie Runaway
(1984) with a nice moment between Kennex and Dorian that ends with the
phrase, "I like you to." What makes this episode slightly confusing is
it was actually supposed to be the second episode of the season. That
means there are some plot points from the pilot that were dropped. For
example, Kennex goes to an anger management class, the investigation
into the police ambush and Kennex' ex-wife. What happened to all that?
What did you think of the episode?Arrow (02x11) "Blind Spot" Recommended
Official Synopsis: Laurel asks the Arrow to investigate Sebastian Blood, but Oliver is unsure whether to believe her accusations against the man he supports for mayor. Meanwhile, Sebastian exposes Laurel's drug addiction and has her arrested; and Roy reveals his new super strength to Sin, who wants to test out his abilities. Back on the island, Oliver is surprised when Sarah reveals a secret about Laurel.
There are some major character changes
in this episode and most involve secrets being revealed. All of them
are exciting, but the most exciting is the revelation about Laurel's
drug addiction. They've teased for a while that the character will
undergo major changes to become "Black Canary" and we may be seeing the
beginning of that. Plus, Roy punches through a brick wall! Whaaaaaaat?! No wait. it's the return of Deathstroke that's the real star.

Looking forward to the villains on S.H.I.E.L.D.
ReplyDeleteStill really digging Almost Human.
And trying hard to forget THAT Star Trek outfit.
I finally watched the first few episodes of Arrow and I liked it. It's like a TV version of the Nolan Batman movies. At some point I may get caught up.
ReplyDeleteshield keeps getting more interesting with each new episode... i think you mentioned it, but sif from thor is coming... and you is my new go to girl! don't tell my wife.
ReplyDeleteI guess that answers Deathlok...
ReplyDeleteLove the use of Doctor 8's minisode!
ReplyDeleteI waited the whole episode of Arrow waiting for Deathstroke, and was not disappointed!
But, I want a trailer for Guardians now. At this point I'll settle for a teaser trailer for the trailer.
ReplyDeleteI gave up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D awhile back. I really expected better of Marvel all things considered.
I'm bummed there won't be a Superbowl trailer for GoTG. I wasn't expecting one, but just mentioning it wasnt' going to happen made me want one.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Robomug.... priceless
Waiting to find out Peter Capaldi's catchphrase: what are the chances it will be "F***ing reverse the f***ing polarity of the f***ing neutron flow you eff star star c***"?
