It is really going to be interesting to see what direction this show goes because The Winter Soldier is going to really change things up big time

I think it is going to be a pretty major shakeup after TWS, especially for the future of this particular show and this group of characters.

Thor 2 was...fucking weird. Felt like Thor and Loki playing around in a mash up of the Star Wars prequels and Star Trek reboot.

Maybe May was calling the clairvoyant? Maybe Fury is the clairvoyant?

Saffrow Burrows is the female lead in Amazon.com's Mozart in the Jungle.

It really shows how out of place she is in AoS, because in that she is fantastic.

I just got a chance to watch the episode right now. It was pretty great. I thought Ward just immediately feel for Lorelai because he was a weak bastard. When they said strong men would not fall for her voice I assumed they were talking about people like Thor, Captain America or Heimdall. Not Ward.

Anyway, the team has too many white people. Would it kill them to get anyone with a tan on the team? A Native American, Indian, black or hispanic dude (or lady)?

I don't mind them taking next week off for the Marvel special, but why the fuck are they also taking the week after that off? I blame Samuel L. Jackson.

Are you joking about that because Skye and May are Chinese.

I like how Jeph Loeb follows this episodic, anti-serialized story theory. When it hasn't worked for four tv series now and with Agents of Shield, the main hook of the MCU is interconnectivity.

Pasdar's mustache is hilarious.

http://marvel.com/news/tv/2014/3/12...play_glenn_talbot_on_marvels_agents_of_shield.

Glenn Talbot, the man who spent years hunting the Incredible Hulk in the comics, will receive new life this April courtesy of actor Adrian Pasdar in “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”

Pasdar will don Tablot’s signature moustache and military garb in an upcoming episode of the hit series, and just as the character proved a thorn in the Hulk’s side through the decades, the actor hints he’ll cause some trouble for our favorite Agents as well.

While we can’t say too much about when, where, why or how Talbot will make his debut, we had the chance to chat with Pasdar himself to get a taste of what his character will bring to the show, the amount of research that went into this role and much more! Check out our EXCLUSIVE first look photo at Pasdar in full costume as Talbot, then scroll down to hear more about how the role came together!

Marvel.com: I had to open up here by saying we talk quite a bit for all our animated shows, so it’s kind of unique and strange that I now get to talk to you about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Adrian Pasdar: Yeah, it’s the same universe but a whole different galaxy!

Marvel.com: To start with, how did your role as Glenn Talbot come about with S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Adrian Pasdar: In the same way that Iron Man [in “Marvel’s Avengers Assemble”] came up. I got a call from my good friend, ["Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Executive Producer] Jeph Loeb. “Would you come and do this role?” and I read the character description and I thought, “Oh man. Here it is again. The sanctimonious [jerk]. That’s what they’re coming to me for.” [laughs] His way’s the only way! I said, “Jeph, are you trying to tell me something?” He said, “No, not at all! Nobody can play this quite like you, but no.” [laughs] So he came to me and I said yes.

Marvel.com: Very cool. So what was it like then suiting up as Talbot? Beforehand, did you do any research into him at all or talk to Jeph about what they were looking for as a character?

Adrian Pasdar: I did my research that I [normally] do which is pretty in-depth and obviously pretty easy to do with a character like this. The best part of the whole thing is that I was actually in Toys”R”Us with my nine-year old in Times Square. We were in New York for the Super Bowl, and that’s when I got a call from Jeph. [My son] heard me very patiently talk to Jeph and as soon as I hung up, my little boy Beckett said, “What’s the job, Dad? What’s the job?” and I said, “Well, do you know Colonel Talbot?” and he said, “Glenn Talbot? Yeah, everybody does.” I said, “Well, they asked me to play him.” He said, “Well, dad. Here’s what we gotta do. We gotta go to Midtown Comics right away because you know the guy on the second floor with the beard?” I said, “Yeah.” “We’ve gotta find him and ask him what he thinks and his questions. He’ll help you out.”

So we left Toys”R”Us and made our way to 40th and 7th and went upstairs, and my man that I was looking for wasn’t there but there’s no shortage of help. I go in there a lot whenever I’m back home with my kids, they’re big comic book fans, so they know me fairly well. I’m not sure if, as a dad they know me, or I know that they know me from some jobs that I’ve done. But whatever it is, the combination, they’re always very helpful and very nice. So we went in there and in no time at all, I had no shortage of guys helping me out finding everything I could about Talbot. And oddly enough, one of them was embarrassed that he had to dig into a database. He looked at me like, “I’m so sorry, dude. I’m going to have to dig in.” He had to go to the phone in his hands. I said, “Hey man, it’s cool. We’re both learning and I couldn’t do this without you. You’re a huge part of what I’m going through right now in trying to figure out who this guy is.” I certainly don’t want to approach it [like some shows approach] legal dramas, where they just base it on what’s come before. Not that it has anything to do with real courtrooms. Anybody who’s been in a real courtroom will tell you it’s nothing like the movies.

Marvel.com: Probably a lot more boring.

Adrian Pasdar: Yeah, and a lot more real. Anyway, that doesn’t really resonate in films or super hero movies. I didn’t want to base it on the excellent work that had come before, in “Marvel’s The Avengers” and things like that. I just wanted to dig deep into the comics where it came from. And that’s what I got to do, through the help of the good folks of Midtown Comics in New York City, I was able to bring this guy to life through a series of pictures and just the graphic imagery, the novels and the cartoons that I was able to access through their help. Really, in the end, that’s what it’s based on. As much as you’re playing a [comic book] guy. I learned this through Iron Man, it really doesn’t matter what I think about who he is because everybody has such a huge idea about what they think the guy is. You have to meet their expectations rather than define it by your own, and it’s not pandering at all. It’s just a little more difficult way of bringing something to life. You can’t just rely on your instincts and your imagination, you have to match up with what the expectations are from the people who are hiring you and watching you.

Marvel.com: What about when you put on the outfit itself—or Talbot’s trademark moustache?

Adrian Pasdar: It’s hard to look serious in that hat, man. You look like a New Jersey State Trooper if you wear it wrong. Nothing wrong with New Jersey State Troopers, but the outfits are a little funny. Just wearing that Air Force hat, you really gotta be able to pull that off. That was the hardest part. But the moustache, we spent a long time on that, a couple of days. That was probably a thorn in the side to make-up and hair people. I had a week to prepare and as macho as I like to think I am, there’s just no way I can grow that mustache in a week so we had to cut up a $400 dollar mustache and try it on knowing that it might fail and there’s not always room to do that in the make-up department.

So anyway, we came through and it was fun to be on the set and work with these folks on the show. The way that they filmed [my scene] was very interesting. It was a live feed. [Coulson’s team are] in the control room and I come over a monitor. So I was filming it in another room off of a camera, [and] it was a live feed to them in that room, so it was really happening. It was in-camera, it wasn’t going to be superimposed, so my face would come on eight feet tall and six feet wide. I don’t know how much people can handle of that. I’m glad I didn’t have to look at it. But it was fun to be able to talk into the camera, and they had a microphone set up and a speaker so I could hear their responses and we played the scene out in real time. It’s kind of like a throwback to old television, where they would go from room to room with the camera. They’d go from Camera A to Camera B and then come back on to Camera A and then move over to Set 3 and it’d all be happening in real time.

Marvel.com: That’s very cool. I know that Talbot, so far, is in the one episode. I don’t know if there’s anything you can tease whether fans can expect to see much more of him down the line?

Adrian Pasdar: Oh yeah. I would imagine. As willing as I am to jump when Jeph calls, there had to be a little bit more in it than just an episode for me. So I can’t say much more but the mustache is in a locker and it’s being taken out and prepped as we speak for next week. Every show needs a jerk, [and] I guess I’m that guy. I make everybody else look so nice. I think it was Walt Disney who said it, “The show’s only as good as the bad guy is bad.”

Marvel.com: Yep. It’s an important element to have.

Adrian Pasdar: Like I said, they don’t have to do too much. They just have to not look like me. I’m the bad guy. Let me be bad and then they look like shining knights in comparison.

Marvel.com: But they don’t have your mustache.

Adrian Pasdar: And Clark Gregg is a great guy. It was great to work with him, what a sweetheart he is. Fun to work with that part of Marvel lore now that he’s going to be forever remembered as that guy.

Maybe really avid Hulk readers would know, but that's about it. I doubt even Slayven would know offhand. Comic Vine has him listed as appearing in 269 issues, compared to Hulk's over 5000.

ive tried. really. i actually hate this show. All i ever wanted was mission impossible meets alias in the marvel universe. this show is scooby doo. what makes it worse, is that it is so hard to justify after watching the Winter soldier trailers. I can't wrap my head around the fact that the guys fighting captain America in the elevator are anywhere near the operatives in the SHIELD tv show. I assumed we were getting a show where operatives like Hawkeye or the black widow were extraordinary but also pretty possible for this type of unit and universe.

this show is annoyingly goofy. I can't watch another episode of it. Hung on as long as I could.

I'm gonna make a bold prediction.

If SHIELD continues on this same path of upping the stakes and the games...by the end of the series it'll be as good as Arrow.

Can we go a single fucking page without an Arrow mention?

We get it. That is also a superhero-related show. You like it better than SHIELD.

No one fucking cares.

They should set an episode of SHIELD on a helicarrier that is falling out of the sky. Do it in real time, so they have forty-sixty minutes to stop it from smashing into a city. There's your tie-in to Winter Soldier.

I love how you make a lot of bullshit assumptions (there are certain things I like in SHIELD that Arrow can't even begin to touch)

It's fine to compare them because, OMG, shows get compared ALL THE FUCKING time, for better or worse. It's how you distinguish the good, the bad, the ugly.

I like both shows, stop projecting your insecure bullshit on me.

A lot of serious business up in here.

Honestly I just hope Loeb goes away. The less input/control he has in Marvel's televisioneverything then the better we all are off.

Maybe he was just playing along to mind-fuck her by telling her it was consensual later on at a strategically timed event?

Lorelei: "All men bow to my will!"

Ward: "Not all men. I fucked you by choice."

Lorelei: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Loki: "WTF?"

Thor: "Haha *boom-zap hammer of the gods action*!"

Coulson: "Good job Ward. You fucked her good."

Ward: "Yes. Yes I did."

Simmons: "*swoon*"

Fitz: "Owh for the love of... "
