Another Fall TV Season has been shoved in our faces and I was in the midst of it. I had all my premiere dates in my school agenda and on my calendar at home… I was prepped and ready for premiere week. I skipped some… Read More »A Few Choice Thoughts on ABC’s Premiere Week
It’s the series premier I’ve been most looking forward to all season, and it’s happening Thursday at 8/7C!
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland is the spin off from ABC’s Once Upon a Time. Unlike other spin offs, we aren’t losing any characters from the mother program. However, we have been to Wonderland a couple of times before.
This series will tell it’s own story not necessarily tied in to the original. But it will have the Once twist on the classic story. Alice is older and while on her trip to Wonderland, she meets a genie and falls in love. However, she witnesses the genie be killed before she returns to our world.
The team went to Peru to figure out what the 0-8-4 is.
On the way, Skye begins questioning her place on the team, as do some of her teammates.
In Peru they find the object in question. We then get our first glimpse of Coulson’s backstory in the form of Camilla Reyes, who he had a past relationship with.
A fire fight with local rebels forces both Coulson’s team and Reyes’ team back on the bus (their name for the plane) and in the air. Fitz-Simmons discovers that the 0-8-4 is a weapon that is fueled the same way the Tesseract is.
At the same time, Coulson and Ward discover that Reyes and her team aren’t as friendly as they seem. They knock out May, capture the rest of team and take over the bus.
Coulson is with his old flame, but the others are tied up in the cargo bay. As a team, they break free and save Coulson and the bus.
The episode ends with a great cameo from Samuel L. Jackson.
A new episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will air tonight on ABC at 8PM ET (7pm CT). So far Disney’s foray into TV superheros is getting good marks, but that was just the pilot episode.

Editor: Please welcome new blogger Chris Fox. He’s got the Marvel beat! He promised me no spandex.
Tuesday marked the premiere of the most highly anticipated show in television history – at least by me. I have been a huge fan of The Avengers franchise since the beginning and I’ve had a man crush on Agent Coulson from the moment he threatened to taze Tony Stark and watch Super Nanny.
So let’s talk about episode one shall we?
The show opens with long shots of L.A. and Skye’s voice over giving us the background info we need. Basically, after we were attacked by aliens the world went crazy – makes sense.
We also meet Michael (played by veteran to Joss Whedon T.V. shows, J. August Richardson) and his son, Ace. They have a touching moment right before the building beside them explodes.Michael reveals that he has super strength as he scales the building and saves a woman from a fiery doom.
Skye sees the whole event and records it on her phone.
Next, we fly to Paris to meet Agent Grant Ward as he is searching for a Chitari neural link. He gets into a bit of a tiff with some goons from the group known as The Rising Tide who also want said neural link. He returns to S.H.I.E.L.D. and gets debriefed by Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders reprises her role very well).
