I absolutely love this show. Of all the superhero shows on TV, I think this one is the best. The story lines, characters and effects hit just the right tone. The fact that many of the central characters have no super power at all and are totally human is another plus. It hits the right balance between powered and non-powered characters.
Comparing this show to Arrow where again the major characters have no powers goes straight to storytelling and production value. Arrow is a great show, however, Marvels Agents of Shield seems fresher. It has so much more room to grow and so much more story that can be told. Where similar shows seem to be old and seem to be running out of story lines. I would put it right up there with GOT.
The recent arc of being trapped in a virtual world with a distorted reality is analogous to the current situation with the silver price. Silver is trapped and can not find its true price because it is being controlled by an all-powerful virtual disseminator that holds the entire planet's wealth in its hands. Silver being one of the very few things if it were to find its true value that is able to shield value from fiat inflation.
How will it all turn out in the end? I don't know. But I know who I am routeing for.
