Gotham Pilot & Agents of Shield Season 2 Opening - Thoughts.













Well there have been two highly anticipated TV shows in the last few days. The 1st episode of the "Batman Prequel" Gotham and the start of season 2 of Marvels Agents of Shield.
My thoughts (Some spoilers)

Agents of Shield season 2 Episode 1 'Shadows': Well this sure is AOS, The Flashback start was nice (mainly to see some Howling Commando action) They've added more to their ranks, perhaps so more folks can die. It was pretty amazing to see an almost 'A list' Villain from Marvel comics join the show (as well as that 'B list' one as well) they crammed a lot into this episode that I hope will play out in a more connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe than the first season did. Good, not great.

Gotham season 1 Episode 1 'Pilot': This I liked. Don't get me wrong I fully agree with what many are saying about this 1st look being Crammed full of future villains, comic story winks, plot set up...you name it it's crammed in there. I however feel it's there not just to keep fans watching (as if they are worried that comicbook who geeks don't see an easter egg every 30 seconds will change the channel) but it's because the writers want to get on to telling their stories and fleshing out Gotham in new and interesting ways. This Pilot actually shares a lot with the 1st episode of Rome also from show runner Bruno Heller and that turned out amazing. Last note: You rarely see young Bruce in this, but what you do see is dead on. Good, I have hopes for great.

(Note Agents had higher ratings)
