And I fundamentally disagree. The premise is fine. It was never meant to be a superhero show.

And if that is true, that would explain the extreme drop off of viewers ,who most likely thought it was going to follow the same path as the Marvel superhero movies.
I don't know why you and everyone else can't accept that. Every article that came out before the show, said what the premise was going to be. Superhero's were never mentioned as being a recurring feature of the series. The series was always supposed to be about how SHIELD agents dealt with things outside the realm of the superheroes.
I guess people like me & others, thought that they would try to stay with the winning formula that made the movies a roaring success. Making a tv series about the side supporting characters from the movies has proven to be less than successful and explains why the show has dropped in viewers and is no longer a hot ticket. It went from the most promising series of the season to the most criticized ,for the disappointing , dull, slow ,boring plots.

Robert Downey Jr. reportedly got paid $50 million to be in Iron Man 3. Marvel is having a hard time even getting him to sign on for more of these huge budget movies. How much money do you think he, and the other avengers would demand to be on a weekly TV show? No show on TV has a big enough budget to do what you are asking for.
You obviously don't like the show. Maybe it's time to quit watching and move on to other threads so those of us who do enjoy it can discuss it without constantly hearing how terrible it is.
Not really, it dropped to 8 mil in ep 2, 7 mil in ep 3, and pretty much has stayed in the high 6 mil's since. A pretty steady audience.
I am only agreeing and supporting the critics article that was posted in this thread that says that the lack of superheroes is causing the series to drop off viewers. I am sorry that this view ,that so many critics hold, offends your view of the show. I want the show to do well, but I feel that it won't get any better till they try to introduce some superheroes, even lesser known super heroes to beef up the scripts.
No one really expected the show to have the top Marvel super heroes. But, they expected that there would be some smaller heroes visiting on a regular bases. They went through the first half of the season without any showing up.
With Arrow, no one expected Batman or Superman to show up, but they have a lot of other minor characters making appearances.

Like I said, I don't know why anyone would expect that. It was never promised and always said the show would be about SHIELD and would exist outside the realm of the superheroes but in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Well tell that to the 6 million viewers, who dropped the show after it's initial debut episode, because they believed the show would be more like the Maarvel movies they spun this show from.
Yes it was pitched as SHIELD agents operating. If SHIELD is meant to be the response to superheros it implies there would be at least some cameos... You could make this FBI agents and the XFILES....
And that's the basic premise of the show. The human perspective in a world where all these crazy hero and villains have now started to appear in. That's how it was pitched and that's how it's been played out.
What you're looking for are the series that will be done in collaboration with Netflix over the next few years. Those will be super hero centered, though I would not expect appearances by the movie heroes.

All I could think about is what happened to the hyperbaric chamber that kept Skye alive. Seemed like it was way too convenient that the one device in the room and the nature of the gunshot wounds meant Coulson & team had to use it to get Skye to the Bus.
When they wheeled it into the SHIELD facility, I thought it would be collecting intelligence, or getting ready to explode, or some other nefarious purpose. Instead, it wasn't given a second thought. Maybe it will be one of those things brought up in a later episode.

Or one could assume it was all arranged in advance by the clairvoyant. If you were arranging to shoot someone to get them to lead you to a super cure, you could arrange for the right medical equipment to be present and tell the person firing the gun to only do gut wounds which would be slow to kill.
Yes, I concur. But the opportunity existed to place the necessary life-saving equipment into a SHIELD facility. Why waste it?
Once again my DVR lost the last 15-30 seconds of the episode. An Asgardian in Death Valley, how apt. The recording ended right after the husband delivered the proper response (too bad his newlywed wasn't on hand to hear it!) The WatchABC app won't let me watch it yet as Dish isn't one of their on-Demand partners yet.
