I'm glad that things continue to look interesting. And they should if they are going to run parallel to The Winter Soldier.
This is also the last episode to air before Cap 2 releases (in the US), so everything after this episode should take place after the movie.

Learn it, love it.
Deathlok looks like ass, but at least we get more

Yeah, not feeling Deathlok, at all. (Probably doesn't help that I didn't like Mike beforehand either.)
I hope he's not gonna stick around for long, or they find a way to make him interesting real fast.

Okay, I'm down here visiting family in New Zealand and the newest episode that just premiered here is Fzzt. It's really interesting watching this episode again after what just happened in the show. When Coulson is talking to the firefighter that's about to blow up and he mentions how he died and didn't know how long it was, it cuts to May looking forlorn and at the end she's the one asking Coulson what he's thinking about and convinces him he's "normal". Whether it's coincidental or they really had the idea planned that far back, it's really neat how it matches up to what's currently happening.

Rule #1 of TV sci-fi: If you don't have the budget or the talent to pull a difficult character/sequence, do somebody/something else.

I saw Patton Oswalt in "Young Adult", which was an independent film starring Charlize Theron, and he was pretty good in that. I have faith in him to do a good job.
Although the fact that he thought he was MODOK shows how much of a geeky fan he is.

Hi everyone! I've sat out the entirety of this series so far mostly due to a lack of time, but also because early word wasn't so hot. Without spoiling anything, has it improved much since the beginning? Worth taking the dive?

It has improved a bit, perhaps even drastically, but I still wouldn't say it's a great show. The latest episode had Sif and was clearly above the rest in quality...but a lot of that is almost certainly carried by one of the movie actors taking a prominent role in the episode, making it more interesting and inherently important.
Dropping some references to different Marvel characters or objects really isn't enough. Outside of the Sif episode and one other thing from the prior episode
the blue alien
Now, the fact that the last two have had some promising aspects could be taken as an indication that the show is finally going to become better than mediocre. But I don't really believe that to be the case until it actually happens.
Personally I'm sticking with the show at least until the end of the season, but it's a pretty big disappointment. Pretty much since the beginning people have said "oh, but it's improving" and maybe there's some truth to that statement. However, I just don't think it has improved enough to be a worthwhile time investment. The storylines, in general, are pretty bland and uninteresting and extremely rarely actually do anything to further the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Furthermore most of the characters are completely uninteresting, and in a central role the once interesting Agent Coulson is now boring most of the time.
We'll see what the upcoming episodes surrounding The Winter Soldier bring, but the show isn't even close to its potential right now when this deep in the season it really should be.
I'm still excitingly looking forward to the Netflix series they have planned though.

At least have Simmons or Skye in ghe shot to distract the viewer. It's how magicians do it. And Jeph Loeb made a career out of it by pairing himself with superstar artist.

Live stream of the PaleyFest panel starts in just over half an hour, at 1:50 PM PT/4:50 PM ET. Curious how much they'll be able to say about upcoming episodes given TWS.
Apparently, they're screening the next episode right now.
EDIT: Not much in the way of details from this Q&A (though spoilers from the April 1 episode are likely to leak soon enough), but it's confirmed that the show will be post-TWS from the April 8 episode on.

When they're done with Deathlok, they can reuse the armor for SW: Ep VII.

That does look pretty awful. I like that they're using an underutilized character like Deathlok for this arc but the design just isn't there. He's not intimidating at all without the context that exists in the show. He's also way too human still to be called Deathlok. He needs a few more "repairs."

Wow, i've seen better fat deathlok cosplay at comicon.

Im telling you, all they had to do was have either Elizabeth or Chloe in that poster and there would be no problema. Py me money.

Jesus, just take a cue from the Uprising promos and do an e-poster that mashes up Cap's shield with the SHIELD logo. Some vague tagline like "When TWS Ends, The Uprising Begins" or something.
Or both!

They should have had Joss throw the Deathlok costume in the Age of Ultron budget... do a little support financing to help out a struggling, but connected TVverse.
At least the comicon cosplay outfit later in the year can be an exact match.
edit: that outfit need some serious CG assistance.

Making out.
I utterly fail to see the point of that vest.

I could be mistaken but I believe the budgets are for the entire season. If that's the case then shows may skimp on certain things in certain episodes in order to free up the budget for other things.
Welp.
It's been back on in the UK for a couple of weeks, still finding it hard to care about it though.
This doesn't help. How does the show manage to look so cheap.
