[Mr. Dent]

After a year of waiting...just 50 hours away.

 

[Dr. Evil]

One of five new shows on my radar this fall season. Two of them (Sleepy Hollow and Brooklyn Nine-Nine) have already debuted and neither disappointed. Hopefully this, The Blacklist and The Michael J Fox Show don't disappoint either.

 

[Loki882]

I'm most interested in Ming-na's character, she intrigues me. Also, how did Richard's character get his powers, that will be interesting as well.

I'm curious about Sleepy hollow as well. It sux working during the prime time.

It's a weird show, but a good show.

Nicole Beharie =

She'd make a great addition to the MCU.

 

[Destructus86]

Agreed on sleepy hollow. Weird, but in a good quirky kind of way. Oh and the headless horseman with a shotgun...hell yes.

I'm super stoked for SHIELD. gahh...I won't get to watch it till the following day though. I buy my episodes off Amazon or watch stuff on Hulu rather than pay for cable. This is the one time I wish I had cable. lol

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

I won't see this until wednesday evening due to work. I hope there will be some streaming site that runs this (outside the US, since Hulu won't work here)

 

[Dr. Evil]

It's good that J August Richards isn't Luke Cage because I'd rather they save Luke Cage for a bigger name so that they can also use him in an MCU movie if they need to.

 

[Mr. Dent]

I guess no one here has heard of bittorrent.

 

[Just_Human]

I guess no one here has heard of bittorrent.

What is it ?

 

[Broseph44]

I guess no one here has heard of bittorrent.

Torrents take time to download. If people don't wanna wait they can pay to watch it right away.

 

[Mr. Dent]

?? It only takes a couple minutes at most if you have a good connection...which you should if you're going to be playing back HD content from Amazon or Hulu anyway.

 

[metaphysician]

Or maybe people here want to actually support the show?

 

[Mr. Dent]

buying it through Amazon =/= supporting the show...it's supporting Amazon. but my comment wasn't directed at those people anyway, it was this

I won't see this until wednesday evening due to work. I hope there will be some streaming site that runs this (outside the US, since Hulu won't work here)

and anyway, buying the home releases is a better way to support it than getting ripped off by Amazon.

 

[Raiden]

I already set my DVR for AOS, so I'm definitely going to see it one way or the other. Can't believe that it is only a day away...it's easily my most anticipated series of the year.

But AOS? I can make an exception, lol

 

[Mr. Dent]

Less than 2 hours!!

[dru-zod2501]

I love that the new guy said S H I Tauri like the comics, instead of the movie's CHitauri

 

[cabel]

Welcome back Phil!

 

[Havok83]

Wow, I honestly didnt expect to see Cobie in this bc of she's on How I met your Mother on CBS. I expected them to recast Maria Hill if she ever showed up
