I think this show could be a tidy link between Marvels, by Kurt Busiek, and Bendis' Powers.  Marvels has more of a sense of helplessness coupled with awe, whereas in Powers there's an idea that maybe there's a way to get a handle on all this weird stuff.

^  Yep!  Eddie has it right.  I haven't read all the comments yet, but is there anyone who saw this and decided NOT to watch further episodes? 

I like the idea of Power Pack showing up, but only because it makes me think The Runaways should show up instead.

I go with a combo of Life Model Decoy and Dollhouse technology, with a touch of Hank Pym's penchant for really human-seeming androids.  I do wonder, much as I love and admire Clark Gregg, how he'll react when he finds out he's not him; or is an exact copy of Coulson's mind in a different body, or whatever.
Seems like…

Nah, I liked the flying car — Nick Fury had one just like it in the Steranko days.  I knew it was happening when he first drove the car up so it didn't seem to me like they were trying to surprise me.  Hell, SHIELD has a flying aircraft carrier— flying cars must be child's play to them.

I think I might just not be as discriminating as many people here — but I loved this thing.  I agree that there were some problems, but to me they were tiny, and mostly due to the it's-the-pilot factor.
Thing is, I'm old enough to have seen way too many false starts for Marvel characters  on TV.  There was the Dr.…

I'm older school than most of you.  I want Hero for Hire (singular).  I want it to take place in the 70s, or at least start there.  I  want a funk soundtrack, and what the hell, Michael Jai White as Luke.
In later seasons he can meet Danny Rand and Misty and all, but for that first season I want Luke to fight Black…

Colossus Shrugged  [when Kitty asked him if he liked girls]

Her scene - taken nearly word for word from the novel - with her boyfriend's mom, who really really doesn't want to like her at all, is amazing, hilarious and THAT's what makes you happy she lives through the movie…

I want to see this, and will accept any explanation for Coulson's resurrection, including that he quickly subbed in a Life Model Decoy when Loki was going after him in The Avengers.  Kinda hope they do better with it, but I will accept it because, from Clark Gregg's first appearance as Coulson in the first Iron Man…

Segal used to show up on the Carson show sometimes, banjo in hand, and it always impressed me that he was damn good at it.  Banjo's not like the ukelele or the dulcimer — you can't really fake being skilled with it.
Plus - prerequisite for a banjo man-  Segal always looked like he was having such fun playing it…

Here I am again, saying pretty much the same thing:  there have been many, many Dortmunder movies (though I think Hot Rock is the only one that used the actual name) and not a one has been good, and….. WHY?  Damn, the books should just write themselves:  Drowned Hopes could be an incredible movie.  Hell, most of them…

Fun With Dick and Jane automatically became a much better movie when it was remade, ineptly.  See also The In-Laws.

Oh, wow, No Way to Treat a Lady.   That's a hell of a movie, and still holds up pretty well today.  One of the few book-to-film translations that, in my opinion, with a major change from the book, works well. 
Spoiler for 45 year old movie follows:

Miller - I mention this above (I think I always do when Hot Rock comes up) but Redford isn't BAD as Dortmunder.  That is, he ACTS like Dortmunder ("this kid peed on me…") — he just doesn't look like Dortmunder.  At all.  But as I also mentioned above…. The Hot Rock gets better for me every time I see it.

This is I don't know how many comments on this article about Just Shoot Me, which I've never seen.  Looks like I'm going to have to remedy that pretty soon.  I bet I would not like David Spade if I met him, but I kinda like his comic persona from a distance..

Watch The Long Goodbye as soon as you can.  As far as Chandler adaptations go, it's (someone will want to kill me maybe) one of the best two (the Mitchum Farewell My Lovely I put slightly above it).  It takes place in the 70s, Gould might be no one's idea of Marlowe, it's Altman.. but it works so, so well.  Not just…

I've seen Flirting with Disaster exactly once, and remember not much of it except that I laughed all the way through - as pointed out, not that common of a thing.
I'm about due to watch it again, now that it's been so long.

Thanks for asking about The Hot Rock, Will!   That's, to me, a fine example of what George Segal can do:  his Andy Kelp is exactly as exasperating, relentlessy and unrealistically upbeat, boyish and charming as Westlake writes him.

Man.  Easiest job in publishing has to be Stephen King's editor.  If you're not feeling particularly inspired, just hang onto the manuscript for a bit, then turn it in:  "Sorry, guys, King didn't want to change it a bit.  Print it as is."
