So what does everyone think?
I thought it was a little bit HEROES + Torchwood + NCIS (my dad thought a bit X-FILES) * Joss Whedon.
I like it all came together, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it's going and I'll definitely be making more comments over the weeks.

It doesn't broadcast in the UK until Friday so I am so excited to watch it then!
I've loved Marvel since I was little so it's amazing to have the show like this

It was a solid pilot. Certainly one of the better ones I've seen. Not too much happened, mostly introductory stuff with a easily wrapped up case that served it's purpose in touching on the bigger plot elements. The cast is really good and the dialogue is sharp and witty just as expected from a Whedon project. Hoping we can get some street level comicbook heroes to show up and maybe join the rooster.
I'm not expecting any major appearances from the movie cast throughout the series except for Maria Hill since Smoulders mainly does television anyway, and maybe Nick Fury since SLJ has said he'd be willing to make a appearance. They might be able to squeeze a guest appearance from one of the main Avengers for the season finale though since it should only cost them a few million, the ratings would have to be really high for them to any more than that.

Did you see this weeks episode? A most unexpected cameo at the end of the show!
It's not Robert Downey Jr., but he has said he's open to being on the show.

Wasn't expecting a cameo so soon. But it was pretty cool. The highlight of the episode honestly along with Agent May just being an all around bad***. Admittedly found this episode pretty slow and boring in some spots particularly the ones involving Skye and Agent Ward not really feeling any spark there. I liked all the references and I like FitzSimmons though they are a bit extra and it's hard to follow their squabbling sometimes but it's cute. I need another episode or two to gauge this show but so far, I don't think it's bad and they're doing most things right but there's something missing. They need a strong lead, someone that can appeal to a lot of people and have the audience care enough about them to tune in every week. I think that's supposed to be Ward's job but Dalton though a solid actor, just doesn't have the charisma to pull it off.
A RDJ cameo would be sweet and add a bit more spark to the show but honestly, I hope they don't have to rely on cameos from the movie cast to keep people interested.

My MARVEL facts are a little rusty - who's the super villain that got created in tonight's episode? Thanks.

This show is... okay. It's not great, and once you get past the whole "Ooh, it's about superheros" then it's actually nothing too different to anything that has gone before.
Heroes was better (at least season 1) as it dealt with the more personal side of being "different", but in this universe everyone (so far) seems to show a far more obvious polarity of morals... i.e. they very (i.e. too) quickly show whether they're good or bad.
I think the general idea is far better than the individual story-lines, by which I mean that the individual episodes are merely stretching out the overall idea into 10, 12, 15 episodes or whatever the season runs to.
Character interaction is okay - but not as zippy as you might expect from Joss Whedon - given what he gave us with Firefly.
Or maybe my expectations are too high.
Ultimately its solid, but not as intriguing, interesting or different as I was hoping for.

^Yeah, I pretty much agree with that.
As for 'Firefly', I believe that was his own, original, creation, where as with S.H.I.E.L.D, he has to work in the structure of the MARVEL movie-verse, so he's a little limited in that respect.
I'm curious about Coulson's death, and about this mysterious organization, Centipede.
Preview for next week said whatever happens is Classified: Level 8. I wonder if we'll get to see levels 9 and 10 over the course of the show?

These things take time. Look at how ropey Angel was at the startoff. It's just a bit too Alias at the moment.

I hope it starts to stray away from the 'cop show/story of the week' type of thing, and starts to become more truly cinematic (which is more down to the nature of the story telling and editing, not so much the budget).

Just about to watch ep1 !
Season 1 only really took off around ep16 - poss SPOILER FOLLOWS
Apparently the series was forced to wait for the Captain America film to come out to incorporate the collapse of SHIELD into the plot. That and the Ward storyline make for a cracking finale.
Just one question - contains SPOILER
The guy that greets the team at the secret base at the end of Ep 22 - is he a clone of the guy at Providence or some kind of Android?

Just watched Ep 1 of season 2 - AWESOME!
Is it just me or does General Talbot look like a Buffer version of Freddy Mercury?

^ I started watching season 2 ! But is a few episodes behind as I'm currently travelling overseas and haven't caught up with the eps I missed before the mid-season break!
Also looking forward to seeing Agent Carter when I can get my hands on it.
and to answer your question about the guy (spoiler): it was said that the guy at the Playground is his identical twin brother Billy BUT it is also possible that he is a template for a series of Life Model Decoys -> though LMDs are supposed to have superhuman abilities as androids...so I'm not quite sure how it explains Eric being killed by Ward seemingly quite easily.
I've watched a few marvel movies before SHIELD came out...but was never a huge fan...now I'm trying to locate all the movies to watch! 
I think they've handled the TV series really well (though all the cliffhangers really get to me!) I've never read the comics so perhaps comic fans will feel differently
