Fury didn't have to be Director at that time, just high enough to recruit other agents.

I don't have a problem with blowing up the premise, if the show actually developed the characters and the premise.

The first Cap movie showed that the Red Skull had contempt for the Nazis (or at least the officers sent to control him), and was as happy to disintegrate them as anyone else. (Berlin was on his "to-be-Tesseracted" list, sometime after the US.)

You can buy the comic books and chose when to read them.

I complained about this too.

Agent PunchMe InTheFaceAgain

And it can't be anyone in SHIELD or HYDRA, otherwise Garrett would have intel about Coulson's resurrection.

"Dammit May, did you eat the last chocolate chip cookies? I told you I was saving them for tonight !"
"Fury give me orders to eat them, in a private text message."
"Let me see it."
"He also gave an order to erase the cookie-eating command."
"Well… okay then."

I was thinking about Lola too (they were standing right in front of it), but forgot about the metal-shooting machine gun.

I know I should let it go, but in the pilot episode, we are told that Coulson being alive is a Level 7 secret. Has the show done *anything* since the first episode to follow up on that idea? (It might be handy if Phil had a 2nd SHIELD badge with a fake identity, to show to regular law enforcement.)

For Canada, it is snowing to let the audience know that it is north of the US (in case they were confused about its location).

The story became a lot more complex.

That's still my biggest problem with the show.
We are supposed to care about these people because the show is focused on them, not because they are interesting. (Its like "reality" show celebrities, who are famous because they are on TV, instead of the other way around.)

I noticed Sean picked a picture where "shooting from the hip" could be mistaken for Han Solo using his other "blaster". Kind of like Lucas was watching Austin Powers and decided to retroactively one-up fembots having machine gun breasts.

Hard to like a show that gets in creative ruts and relies on charm from Agent Chiseled Stonenuts.

I like that the Hannibal opening credits were followed immediately by an Olive Garden commercial. (Endless breadsticks and leg chops… I mean, lamb chops…)

Leia: "I love you."
Han: "I don't know, and I don't care."

"Master Yoda, what are you doing on my back?"
"Luke, part of your training this is. Eh heh heh heh…"

Good point.
"Generations" destroyed it twice, but it only happened once. (And since I've never been able to make it through "Insurrection" or "N*****s", the scenes of destruction that I have seen seemed worse.)

Browsing the Internet, it looks like the concept of semaphore (in 1684) predated Netflix Instant (assuming @Automocar:disqus 's 1732 date is right). But the first implementation may not have been until 1792 in France.
