"Perhaps a more democratic solution, which the “real S.H.I.E.L.D.” is offering"

The problem is there were also some subtle hints in the episode that one of the "real SHIELDS" committee members could be Hydra. Gonzales also still thinks Fury is dead. You have to wonder what will happen when he finds out that isn't the case.

It was also interesting that Coulson wasn't concerned about the "Tool Box" at the end. You have to wonder if the "real SHIELDS" really has it?

When it comes down to it Skye is the major peace going forward and I think she will be the key factor going forward and may be a major link to Ultron.

Fighting Ultron wasn't what I was getting at. Maybe some link to the story line that will play out in that move. As it turns out this turned out getting the Kree directly involved with the show. That in itself opens up the door to the movies considering the Kree have already been in several.

All I get from the promos is that Quakes new powers will be revealed to Coulson. I think Sif may have some interaction with her (possibly trigger things be revealed to Coulson), but, I think Sif is involved in something that goes well beyond the show in the Marvel Universe and that so far has been one of the best kept secrets. I guess will have to wait until tonight to see.

So will this be the first connection to Ultron? At some point I would be expecting that. It would be really interesting if one of the major characters ends up being a part of this tonight and they were able to keep that a secret this long.

I liked the show would love to see in continue. I really want to see more of the howling commandos. WW II not the SHIELD born (although that would be cool too). It would be really nice to see her and the commandos story that led to the capture of Whitehall (seen in a Cart clip on SHIELD).

On another note it is too bad we lost a grand son of a Howling Commando on Agents of SHIELD.

Re: Why is the Green Bay Packer Board of Directors ignoring the owners and fans? Shame on Packer management!! Message to President Mark Murphy, “what about your duty to the shareholders?”

I think the planned event is appropriate, but, they should also have a retirement ceremony probably at the first home game this fall.

As far as being a "share holder", You need to remember what you were told when you bought that share. It is my understanding that it was a fund raising event and those shares have no real ownership or monetary value. That said those shares are priceless to a true packer fan. To those that commented insulting the ownership of that "peace of paper" shame on you and obviously you are not a true packer fan.

Re: Avengers: Age of Ultron to feature Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. characters?

friend12 — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 07:44:21 -0000

I hope it is true and for us that watch the TV show each week that also gets us going just thinking about the possible cross overs on the show just before and after the movies release. Maybe one of the main movie casts will make an appearance on the show?

As far as Coulson being a live being a secret to all of the Avengers I am pretty sure Stark new about it after the collapse of shield considering one of the ex-agents that has made a guess appearance on the show and will be in the movie works for him.

Like everyone else Steve Webber must be scared of Stevie Wonder. His performance was definitely one of the low points of the night. He was great as always, but, putting a soul flare on a classic should never have happened. It really took away from the beauty of the original song. That was one of few times that night that Paul and Ringo showed very little reaction to a song which says volumes.

I really don't trust polls these days because as many articles have noted people tend to not tell the truth and for the most part they don't include people with cell service only. There have been several published this week and this is the only one that has all but 1 on the losing side which also makes me question its validity.

One question. If prop 2 is passed doesn't that make all the emergency manager laws illegal?

“Invalidate existing or future state or local laws that limit the ability to join unions and bargain collectively, and to negotiate and enforce collective bargaining agreements, including employees’ financial support of their labor unions. Laws may be enacted to prohibit public employees from striking.”

"it's expected to be about $35,000 -- not taking into account a $7,500 tax credit."

Initially as something new they will sell some. At that cost they probably won't sell for long. When the tax incentive goes away it probably won't sell at all. No cost advantage. You still pay for electricity and taking that into account with the savings in fuel it will take years to offset the cost of the car, if ever. You can by a hybrid today that you at least have a chance of recovering the fuel cost with for around or less than $35,000.

An electric cars under $20,000 before incentives will be the ones that sell.

If Sharpton and Sheffield care so much, why aren't they providing the same type of support to the family of the 17 year old that was killed which started this mess in the first place.

Maybe the TV stations will pick up on this and question Sharpton and Sheffield.

Common sense. Have finals a week earlier (like most main stream schools) and shorten the number of class days. That is too easy. I'm sure there will be some other conflict or someone complaining they are not getting every second in class time that they paid for.

Maybe a route that is inside and outside would be better? Exposure wise routing it out on to Broadway would be best. I have attended a few in other places and never seen one that was not outside.

Re: Lions unable to stop quarterback rush | Columbia Daily Spectator

friend12 — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:33:22 -0000

Defense definitely needs work especially at containment outside. I haven't seen much about the fact that the offense did not score a point in the second half. The best defense is an offense that is producing and keeping the opposing team’s offense off the field. The play calling in the 2nd half was confusing and ineffective. Deep pass plays when they are sending 9 players in the box? Really? 4 side out passes in a row. The first worked. They were ready for the others. They had 2 players shadowing the QB. That should have opened things up for the running backs.

"CCSU effectively contained Olawale, as coach McInerney had two guys spying the usually elusive quarterback. They did their job, keeping Olawale to negative five yards on nine carries, while recording three sacks on the senior."

The coaches upstairs should have noticed that and taken advantage of it. Beyond the kicking game issues, no points on the board in the 2nd half was a killer. Play calling was very confusing in the 2nd half. 4 side passes in a row? CCSU loading the box and more than one passing play called?

Race? Really? I guess you are the one that is trying to use race to get media attention.

Here is reality.

Wilson's outburst was in the world of politics. Politics are boring and his actions weren't news after a few days. His comments also weren’t anywhere as distasteful.

West's comments were in the world of entertainment. Everyone pays attention to entertainment. In time his actions will blow over too assuming West and Swift let it. West could be white or any other race and his comments would have received the same reaction. Obama said it best, he is a "Jackass".
