User blog comment:OlieRendch/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1 Review by Blathereen/@comment-24675861-20140515015927

I agree with your rating. My thing is, looking as a whole, the show reminds me greatly of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in its first two years. Even the characters have counterparts in the other show. Watching Buffy over and over for years made AoS predictable to me in some instances. I knew if Ward didn't die sacrificially, he would be in recurring villain/another later (like Angel). Coulson reminds me of Giles; Simmons of Willow; Fitz of Cancer ("He's keeps getting knocked out. -Simmons) and Skye, of course, is Buffy. I still haven't figured out a correlation for May. Josh Loeb, in an interview, called Garrett the "big bad," a Buffy term used to denote the season villain. Don't get me wrong: I love Aos and Buffy. I just hope that older fans of Whedon don't get bored with the show by thinking, "Been there, done that."

Excellent review. Good to see you. Haven't seen you editing lately...
