Yeah and i hope they actually go back to that and not completely ignore it down the road and also do it more often. Which i'm not confident in with the way the show went so far. Too many episodes where barely anything interesting happens so far.

Then you don't know how Joss Whedon shows work.  They've sown seed for future plots in pretty much every episode so far.

Just to be correct here, Joss Whedon is not the director of this show

The build-up is very slow for the big storylines which could become a problem with the audience though. How many episodes does a season have for the show ? Because there hasn't really happened much yet .

He's the show's creator, and a show's creator usually only writes/directs one or two episodes per season. Just like he did for Firefly and Buffy.

Yes, that's always a bit of a problem. His shows get cancelled before they become really good. Let's hope this isn't going to happen here.

Eh, no. Not quite. He was the director of both Firefly and Buffy. Those where his shows. I'm not sure he's written or directed a single episode of Shield. Its his brother's work, Jed Whedon. You might say he probably has learned from Joss and the shows going to be similar of course, and Joss is credited as creator so he probably had some say in how it went about, but its not Joss's show.

Joss Whedon directed three Firefly episodes, and about three Buffy episodes per season. So far, he has directed one Shield episode, and my guess is he'll direct one or two more. He has created all three shows, and serves/served as an executive producer for all three shows. It looks to me like his work and involvement on these shows is pretty equal so far.

You might say he probably has learned from Joss and the shows going to be similar of course, and Joss is credited as creator so he probably had some say in how it went about, but its not Joss's show. Joss Whedon directed three Firefly episodes, and about three Buffy episodes per season. So far, he has directed one Shield episode, and my guess is he'll direct one or two more. He has created all three shows, and serves/served as an executive producer for all three shows. It looks to me like his work and involvement on these shows is pretty equal so far. Well, you know more about it then I do then. Just out of curiosity, which 3 episodes of Firefly did he direct?
Wikipedia is your friend. The first two and the last. Directing and/or writing the first and last episode of a season is pretty standard for the creator of a show. He directed the first episode of Shield, too, and I'd be surprised if he won't at least direct the last one of the season as well.
Being a show's creator and executive producer usually means it's your job telling the writers and directors what they should write and what their focus should be, as well as keeping track of the overall plot and direction of the show, not writing and directing everything yourself. The writers still answer to the show's creator, though, and if he doesn't like something, he'll tell them to rewrite the script. Doing it all yourself would simply be an insane amount of work that nobody could possibly do.
Unless you're J. Michael Straczynski, of course, who wrote almost every single episode of Babylon 5. Which explains why that show has such awesome and consistent writing.

From the Preview here arises one question . Why do they need to make people that obviosly are not supposed to be native english speakers ( be it Swedes or someone from Norway ) talk to each other in english with a thick accent . Either make them speak clean english or the language they're supposed to speak and subtitle it. This allways bothers me in TV shows , Movies and even Games.

+ Show Spoiler +That episode was supposed to reference the Thor movie? Didn't even know that before reading the above post. You won't know that from the episode alone, except Coulson keeps namedropping Thor.
Also, I loooooved the Dollhouse reference at the end. "Did I fall asleep?" - "For a little while." In the exact same confused/childish and reassuring/comforting tones.

You might not know if you hadn't seen the movie but if you have its obvious. They're cleaning up the remainders of the alien ship in Greenwich at the beginning of the show to start.
I liked the episode. Coulson's past keeps getting creepier o:

Yeah, I also thought that was rather absurd.

+ Show Spoiler [Episode 9 Preview] +
I stand by my thought that in the past three episodes the show has gotten a lot better, maybe what it should've been from the start. It's still nowhere near it's potential, though, especially due to the lack of ties to the greater Marvel universe. I get that they want to establish their own little team and not have guest heroes every episode, but they could at least throw in some Z-list villains at the team.

I wholeheartedly agree if it wasn't named Marvel you most of the time wouldn't know that it has anything to do with the universe. Though i don't know how much they can implement considering they're kinda limited to the Avegenger/S.H.I.E.L.D stuff with big parts of the whole Marvel universe not included.

That's it. I no longer care about this show. Again and again it is just a sliver of what it actually could be. Turning into fucking Spy Kids the tv series.

It's kind of sad how well the last episode worked... Given that it was 70% Peter MacNicol outacting what looks like an amateur cast in comparison and 30% testimony to the fact that Marvel universe is intriguing because of superpowers, it was almost a showcase of the shortcomings of the other episodes.
