Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Following and Fargo Catching Up and Intro

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Following and Fargo Catching Up and Intro

Television this week has been a sharp divide of action, pathos, and more action and slow paced oddness, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Following and Fargo fall into two distinct categories of excitement. S.H.I.E.L.D and The Following are moving on an ever increasing plot escalation where it looks like some series favorites may not make it through the season finale and Fargo looks infinitely interesting, strange and chaotic. In other words a lot like a Coen Bros feature film but on television.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Turn Turn Turn and Twist

Okay, I have to say, that this week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Turn, Turn, Turn really should not have come as a surprise, the twist at the end…The double twist that is? I should have seen it coming. How many times has Bill Paxton played a variation on the same role. Sure he was a good guy in the 1996 film Twister, but before that he was the obnoxious Pvt. Hudson in Aliens, the horrific Severen in Near Dark in 1987 and the first thing I ever saw him in; Paxton was boogery big brother Chet in Weird Science. Bill Paxton, for the most part, equals either bad guy or a**hole type character who is so annoying that even the audience want to shoot him.
