On every re-watch, this episode feels really great to me. But as the season opener and viewing it for the first time, a LOT has changed for Team Coulson, and the unfamiliarity can be really uncomfortable for the viewer. It's a really bold move for the writers, showing how confident they are in what they are doing and where they are going.
Isabelle Hartley was played by actress Lucy Lawless, who is very well known (especially among the demographic Agents of Shield was going for) as playing Xena: Warrior Princess.
When Hartley made her appearance, a lot of people recognized her and immediately liked her, so her death did hit them harder than a one off character should have. That is why lots of people were affected by her death.
Was she really involved in other projects and that’s why she was only in 2 episodes of the show?
@@jessicamagri8211 IMDB credits Ms. Lawless with 23 episodes of Spartacus, 10 episodes of Parks and Recreation, 6 episodes of The Code, 15 episodes of Salem, and 29 episodes of Ash vs. Evil Dead, all in the couple of years bracketing her appearance in AoS.
I recognized her instantly. I watched Zena growing up and Parks and Recreation is one of my favorite shows. She's just not someone I get particularly excited to see when she pops up in something or someone that I'm sad to see go unless I'm attached to the actual character.
Also, in Multiverse of Madness the statue that falls on Captain Marvel is that of Xena.
@@12chapin No spoilers or discussion of movies and shows I haven't seen yet. My current location with the movies and spin-off shows is listed in the video descriptions.
20:30 I totally understand your quiet reaction to this one. A lot to process. New people, a few twists, a nice Agent Carter surprise, etc etc.
Thanks for understanding!
Carl Creel (The Absorbing Man) is a great character from the comics that everyone was excited to see on screen.
This is the season where Ian's (Fitz) acting starts to get ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
Amazing and heartbreaking! 😭
I don’t blame you for being quiet in this episode- there’s a lot to process since the s1 finale! Honestly one of the best season introductions imo, but in future seasons AOS is really good at that anyway. Probably my favorites in that regard are the s4 and s5 first episodes.
Thanks for understanding about needing to take it all and process the changes!
Loved this episode for so many reasons!
1. Quality - you can see and feel the increase in production quality. Everything looks so much cleaner and more professional!
2. Story - it built on the pre-existing lore established (084's, Agent Carter, etc.) without diminishing them, and ties it to the present.
3. Guest stars! Peggy Carter, Hartley, Creel and even Talbot are all faves of mine and I was thrilled to see them in the MCU(ish)!
4. Character development - we got to see the characters we loved develop from season one. It wasnt taking the characters in huge leaps from where they left off, which if done and unseen would have left a bad taste. But we got to see the characters develop from where they left off and not remain stagnant (mainly Skyes training with May).
I could go on and on about how much I love about this episode! Great reaction and I know everyones taste is different but I really enjoyed this and I'm sorry it wasnt your cup of tea...
So glad you enjoyed the reaction and I appreciate that you were still able to enjoy it even though it wasn't my favorite episode. I know it can be disheartening or frustrating when a reactor doesn't feel the same way about an episode as the viewer does. I did like it, it just didn't have the feel of a season opener to me.
@@BritanyBinges I always enjoy seeing reactions that differ to mine! It would be a very boring world if we all felt the same about everything! XD
6:57 Fun Fact: Carl Creel was a former boxer...in the Marvel World he is the boxer that Matt Murdock's father, Jonathan "Jack" Murdock. In an attempt to gain the respect of his son, he refused to throw a boxing match and allowed Matt to claim the winnings from his bet. But this action cost Murdock his life as he was murdered by Roscoe Sweeney and his men.
Carl Creel is the only name I recognize. lol
I'd appeciate it if you do not explain further. The plan is for Britany to find out more about who "Matt Murdock" is later.
Lucy Lawless as a surprise guest star was nice, if brief. The Hydra leader we just met... I learned to loathe him far worse than the Red Skull himself.
The brand new SHIELD has a lot of growing pains to start off.
I think agree with you on hating him more than Red Skull.
The thing with Fitz's hallucination is he is still coming up with everything she says.
Yeah, it was definitely reassuring to realize the knowledge was all still there in his head.
trust the writers.. it will get better and whatever you see in the 1st episode will make sense.
I know you're seasons ahead already, but I'm excited to see you inevitably fall in love with the show more going forward. Season one is usually considered one of the worst, and I'd say season two is generally considered one of the best. I haven't heard many reactors not love this opening, but it was nice to get a new perspective on it. Love your reactions, excited for future episodes!
So glad you're loving the reactions and I appreciate that you're open to hearing differing perspectives. :)
I was so surprised to see Agent Carter and the Howling Commandoes in this show the first time I saw this episode
One of the hard things about writing, or portraying on screen, a mystery is that the writer knows the answer, but has to present it to the viewer who is in the dark. And the writer has to remember which character is in the dark about what, and what the audience does or doesn't know, or what the audience doesn't realize they (we?) have to pick up on. Which means that too much information is sometimes being dumped on us at the first watch, and we have to watch it again with the hindsight of knowing the answer to get all the pleasure.
Balancing all that properly, and satisfactorily, so the audience enjoys it both on the original run and as a rerun, is a mad skill. Sometimes it's done really, really well, and more often less so. _S.H.I.E.L.D._ is on the "more" side, but there are still those episodes that come off a bit raw for a first time watcher, or for someone who is less knowledgeable about the "lore" behind the show, all the comics and movies and stuff.
I stay current with the movies in relation to AOS, but I don't know anything about the comics, really. Even on a rewatch and being in season 4 now over on Patreon, I still pretty much agree with my initial thoughts on this one. It's a perfectly fine episode, but not a strong season opener for me.
There have been some pretty major misses when it comes to the writing on this show (that are yet to come here on YT), but I do think they do more often than not get it right.
@@BritanyBinges That's a very reasonable opinion, on both points. I was confused my first time through, too, and I still think the discontinuity -- all the new characters, the new setting, setup, and sets, etc. -- is a bit jarring.
My point was the balancing, and how hard it is. So, yeah, they slipped with this one for you, but for comic fans, it may not have been as much of a slip. Or they just slipped, and it's still well good enough to keep you watching.
fyi, they started like 4 different plotlines in this episode that don't pay off for seasons. also this really shows the acting of both elizabeth and ian (jemma and fitz) that only gets better over the years.
Shield loves to change things up completely and take massive risks. Its a very brave and difficult way to run a show. They get better at it as the show moves along. You never know when its coming. Don't worry, this season is really really good as a whole. You have absolutely no idea where its going from here (no spoilers) so as long as you stick along for the ride you'll end up loving it I'm sure. I get it with this episode though, its alot.
I'm actually in season 4 over on Patreon (full reactions) but I can confirm that I did end up loving the ride in this season.
*_WHOO-HOO: Season 2!_* 🤘😝🤘
Really surprised you didn’t recognize Lucy Lawless
I recognized her instantly. I watched Zena growing up and Parks and Recreation is one of my favorite shows. She's just not someone I get excited to see when she pops up in something. And, when I talked about not knowing them, I meant the characters.
The Simmons reveal absolutely broke me on first watch 😭😭😭 Iain's acting is top-notch tho. It's a lot of change, but it never really bothered me, probably because I had to wait four months for it and was keeping up with all the casting news and such. And as you've probably noticed by now, AOS tends to reinvent itself every season, and it all started with this one. It was pretty shocking that they killed off Isabelle Hartley so early considering they got Lucy Lawless to play her, glad they at least got her back for flashbacks. Hunter, my beloved ❤
Yeah, maybe not a big season opener, there's a lot of setting up the pieces _but_ at least two of those "pieces" are among my favourite ever additions to the show (Hunter and Mac) so still a good 'un in my book. Also, Agent Carter is forever welcome :).
(and sure, it wasn't _actually_ Simmons BUT "she" was right, right ? "She" actually _was_ finishing his sentences so _some_ part of Fitz's brain knows the answers. And of course, just to stoke that 'ship's boiler, here we see that "Simmons" _literally_ completes him :)
Well, I agree with you about one of the two additions to the show. lol
@@BritanyBinges Ooh, could be juicy :).
(my impression at least is they're _both_ pretty well liked so you going against the grain is potentially interesting - cue slew of comments informing me that no, "everyone" _hates_ Mack and/or Hunter :)
Season two is going to be amazing
Season 2 here we go, It's gonna be so fun. I'm excited to see your reactions.
I'm glad you're along for the wild ride that is season 2! :)
If I can make a small suggestion, don't say every guess you have outloud! Even though you made the guess about Simmons not being there correctly, it still makes it more entertaining for us. I can't speak for everyone of course, but know I'm not alone. One thing I can't stand with some reactors is they'll keep making guesses during the show and it just devolves into them not bringing it up if they guessed wrong, or constantly patting themselves on the back if they're right.
Imagine you took a friend out to see your favorite movie for the first time and they guess some major twist at the end before it happened. It'd be a bummer, wouldn't it?
Of course, you do you, just one person's opinion!
Also, one little thing, Simmons is dressed the way she was in F.Z.Z.T. ... Apparently said Fitz imagines her that way because that was the moment he became aware he loved her.
This is a reaction channel. Likely everyone watching is fans of the show. It’s fun to hear her predictions and know ahead of time whether or not she’s going to get it right.
@@JM-vj2sx fair enough. I just say this is my opinion. I only mentioned others may feel the same as I made a similar comment to a popular reactor and had a few agreements.
And to be clear, this reactor would regularly pause the video during the initial watch and expound for awhile. Doesn't happen here so it's not as big of a deal for me anyway.
And I didn't mean to imply to never ever make a guess. I have been loving the reactions on this channel so far! Just her seemingly annoyed at herself for not saying it out loud, just saying she didn't need to be :P.
@@mydavegabicyclethat’s great! Thanks for your kind response.
I appreciate this feedback and how it was presented. I also appreciate the discussion here in the replies. This is exactly how differing perspectives/opinions should be discussed. :)
Personally, I absolutely love hearing reactors' guesses as they go because it gets me even more excited to see their reaction whenever they find out they're right/wrong. However, I won't watch videos from reactors who frequently pause the show or movie to share a whole theory (or story, or anything, really) or where they change their guess every 30 seconds. So, I do get the frustration there.
@@BritanyBinges of course! At the end of the day, I love your reactions thus far and want you to succeed. I can never speak for anyone else but just wanted to give my two cents for what I think would help, as that's the best I can do :).
Is Agent Carter on your watch list?
It is. All the Marvel shows are. It was suggested that I watch it before getting to the final season of AOS, so I'll be starting Agent Carter over on Patreon the last week of November (baring any unforeseen events that cause me to have to take a break).
❤
Damn Skye telling a suicidal man he should've tried harder is fucked up on so many levels. Who's the bad guy again?
WHen that suicidal man is a psychopathic master manipulator.... I think she made the right call.
Ward. 100%.
I look forward to watching you fall in love with this show, then getting bored with the Framework episodes, then falling in love again. While some say season 1 is the worst, season 4 is the worst in my book.
Season 5 and onward, is binge material. 🌻
I'm in season four now (have seen through episode 9) and I'm enjoying it. There a few things that have kept me from loving it, but one of those likely just changed because Daisy is officially back with the team. So, I'm excited to see where the rest of the season goes from here.
So far, season 3 has been my least favorite and I think season 1 would have to be my favorite.
@@BritanyBinges Thank you for responding. My favorite season is 5, with season 7 being my close second.
Btw... Last comment I left you, said you were on season 4 episode 22 on Patreon... not sure the reason for the confusion... ✌️😸
@@BritanyBinges Since you've seen S3 I have no qualms talking about it here... Season three is one of the most creatively compromised seasons of the show's run. How that season ended was not what the writers intended when they started out. There are a great many detours and non sequiturs along the way that the writers had no idea that they would be facing when they started.
Dang this is the hottest take in the famdom 😂. Season 4 is the highest rated season and majority of fans dub it the best. While I don’t agree with that, season 4 is really good it’s just the ending is pretty anticlimactic. If I had to rank seasons it’d be S5, S2, S4, S7, S3, S1, S6.
