Well, every broadcast network show has to stretch 22 episodes for a schedule of about 35 weeks.
Shows have to, and tend to, survive that.

Which is why the rumored scheduling with a mid season Agent Carter limited series would be a good idea.

There are no movies to tie into and no major events (like The Olympics) to break up scheduling, so an 11 episode AoS arc, then break for a 10 episode Agent Carter series, then back to another 11-12 episode AoS arc, with minimal breaks inbetween, sounds so much better than the scattershot of episodes we got this season.

edit: RE: poster art #3
Is it just me or does Skye's hair look like Hydra tentacles?
and why does it sorta suggest that maybe we see her powers manifest, the way she is over ward and her hair is floating.

Age of Ultron opens May 1, so unless the season ends atypically early, presumably the last few episodes of S2 would dovetail into it and deal with the aftermath to some extent.

Could be interpreted that way, definitely. Could also just be a stylized depiction of her hair that doesn't mean anything in particular.
 

first of all, thank you.

But are those all?
I assumed there was one for every episode
and maybe made an ass of myself :)

Totally with you there.
Storytellingwise it could be great.
EDIT: I don't want Agent Carter to be limited


2 caveats though:

a) it means ABC has to pay for 50% more episodes,
but maybe could only get about 40% more ad-revenue
(assuming that originals and repeats of SHIELD do as they did this season and ad-rates are linear - i don't know if they are linear)
So there may be a finance gap

b) ABC originally wanted to do it with Once Upon A Time and its spin-off In Wonderland this year, but for some reason decided against it.
 
Last I read the ratings were just ok and it was on the bubble for renewal.

It hasn't been renewed yet, which is telling that it's still on the bubble. People are so certain it's getting renewed, but if they haven't announced anything yet, that means there still is uncertainty and likely they will wait to see how the whole season plays out first. If the ratings keep sliding as they have been, I wouldn't be so sure of it coming back if they are taking such a wait and see approach.

They obviously don't want to cancel it, it's all part of their Marvel synergy strategy but them not announcing renewal already shows that there is doubts still.

It's not on the bubble. It's definitely going to be renewed but ABC isn't going to announce their renewals until the upfronts in mid May. They haven't renewed Modern Family, Grey's Anatomy or Scandal yet either, but that doesn't mean their futures are in doubt. Everyone worrying about the ratings and fate of the show can rest easy knowing that it isn't going to be cancelled.

Yeah, i've been disappointed as well. I was hoping for a score that would rival Human Target's, but it seems he probably doesn't have the budget to pull off something that great. This show has also been kinda lacking in lengthy action sequences, which have resulted in some of his best work.

His score for Outlander is gonna be earth shattering I just know it!! >:O

Also, as mentioned above, the ratings haven't been "sliding" since December; every episode since and including E10 has ended up around a 2.0, give or take a couple tenths of a point. There have been a few slight upticks and a few slight downticks, and (whether out of ignorance, a desire to spread FUD about the series' future, or both) the latter have been taken out of context and seized upon as proof that the show is in jeopardy. But the reality is there have now been ten consecutive episodes with no apparent upward or downward trend visible.
 
What I'm saying is wouldn't the info on Skye's origins be out in the open after the events of Cap 2?

I think nobody has even really had time to check.

There's also the possibility that the higher ups took the info off the computer system once they saw how easily she could hack into it. Just like they did with Coulson's info.

I might be remembering incorrectly, but I thought all the files on Skye were already redacted in the SHIELD database itself, so it wasn't of much use?

Either way yeah I think that plot point has kinda been overshadowed by all the HYDRA business, for both the writers and the characters. Maybe they'll pick it back up again by the end of the season, as we still don't know if there's any effect on Coulson and Skye from the Kree juice.
 
It'll probably be addressed in the finale. If "miracle" = "mutant that has to be manually activated", its a good workaround to not having the rights.

If this is how they plan to do it then it's pretty smart, since they could easily integrate the X-Men if FOX ever lets the rights revert back to them. Marvel could do a movie that ends with a major event that unlocks the powers of all mutants.

Wasn't there an episode where she had the choice of looking at her personal info or helping an agent in some time-sensitive access to Shield's locked down info?

I think she hasn't looked simply because all this shit has not allowed her much down time yet.

AOS had it especially bad this season (due to the Cap2 tie in having to be timed out). To the point where people in this thread were questioning internal sabotage.

Coulson looked for her in that episode and all he could find was the report of a SHIELD agents dropping her off and a orphanage and getting murdered sometime later.The episode where they find that former SHIELD agent makes it clear that the people who found her scrubbed all of SHIELD of her, the original mission, etc, and set up a system within SHIELD that bounced her around orphanages, but that was it. They did not even know who/what she was.
 
Why did Ward kill that guy (name escapes me)

I personally don't think he's dead ...

Dude was far too suspicious of Ward nearing that exchange in the monitor room to die that easy. Maybe he faked it or maybe used a Life-Model Decoy? IDK .... just seems very strange that he was uber suspicious of Ward in that Sky-Ward exchange and suddenly he's ok with being left alone with Ward.

Anyway, Ward killed him cause the footage would have shown that Ward was Hydra.

Fans question sabotage on every show that stretches 22 episodes over 35 weeks. Pick any September to May show and visit their OT to see everyone complaining that the network is trying to kill the show when there is multiple breaks in non-sweeps months.
 
Just imagine a fleet of LMD's of Patton Oswalts

Also, that's the thing ... why get such a well known actor/ comedian to play a character that's gonna die after one episode? :/

Dude had more charm and character than half the cast..

Wouldn't be shocked if they show that he was using a Life-Model Decoy ... but it's not like a Robot Shadow clone, more like a remote-controlled fake where he has to be stationed somewhere.
