I think the series has been damaged by only broadcasting one or two episodes a month since the start of December, presumably because they had to wait for Captain America: The Winter Soldier to be released before they could properly launch the current story arc (involving the infiltration and dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D., along with the killing of at least one major character from the comics). Now it's free to air weekly again but it appears that the network is still buggering about with the time it's shown.

Ah, spoilers.

Thanks, buddy! That'll save me from all that tiresome following along and enjoyment and such.

Oh.

Goddess.

I apologise. I think I was thinking that the plot direction of The Winter Soldier was well known. I forgot that would not universally be the case.

[IronGiant]

I also haven't seen the film.

Well, that's that spoiled then.

Nor have I. But it was quite obvious where the comment was going as I read it. So I stopped!

[supermario]

Anyone watched Black Sails ?

[Darkflame]

The films good - has more too it then just that comment reveals. MUCH better then the first, and clearly impacts the tv show a stupid amount.
Lots of nice little nods in it too like

Spoiler: show

brief confirmation Dr Strange is out there.

Rumours that that one is close to preproduction, although the idea has been in the mix for 20+ years now and it never quite seems to make it. Doubt they'd be dropping the hint unless there were moves afoot though.

[Darkflame]

Indeed.
Apparently Marvel's got a rough plan for their movies uptill 2028(!), so it would be astonishing if it isn't there somewhere.
Unless they wanted a TV Show, but it wasn't any in the Netflix deal recently.

Oh, something else I liked about the Captain America 2 film was that it was almost a Black Widow film. I mean, her total screentime must have been pretty close to Cap's.

[Harlequin]

Again, I apologise. I would be at least as equally upset myself had I not been following some of the pre-film publicity. I would like to edit what I wrote to "involving the impact of that film's events upon S.H.I.E.L.D., along with …" if I could but it is probably too late now. I can only try not to be such a bloody idiot in future.

Spoiler: show

Something that looked like Strange's Orb of Agamotto appeared in Odin's vault in the first Thor film, close to what appeared to be the Infinity Gauntlet. Kevin Feige has also been reported as saying that they are now "actively looking" for people for a DS movie and has suggested that it might be something in the area of the fourteenth MCU film.

I'd forgotten this was happening until the Channel 4 trailer last night. Even to the pint where my wife mentioned re-watching the movie last week and it didn't ring any bells. Starts here on Sunday but as we had nothing better to do found a feed and watched it there and then.

Apparently it's not a TV series, it's a 10 hour movie. (Just from some of the marketing blurb I've read).

A bit of a risky move turning such a great movie into a TV show and it took a while to get over the fact they have made a lot of the characters very similar to the movie characters including the the accents and slow delivery. Do a lot of people talk like that around Minnesota?!

Overall, not bad (but not some of the rave reviews I've seen), a bit of a slow burner. But kept me interested enough for more.

Do a lot of people talk like that around Minnesota?!

Yes. Kinda of. But not so deliberate. I don't think it's risky do 10 hour film/miniseries. So far it pretty decent. I've enjoy what I've seen so far.

[Darkflame]

I been enjoying Da Vinci's Demons a lot.
Sex, violence, and a hero saving the day by implausible gadgets.
Villains are a bit cartoony, but I sort of like that.

Also one of the few examples of TV shows with decent CG backgrounds too. Dunno what the budget difference is, but the folks at Once Upon A Time should give them a call.

Orphan black season 2 starts tonight.
