We didn't really get to 'dress up' for the most part. Though people in one area did and we had a guy in his 60s dressed up as the Phantom from Phantom of the Opera who ran around billowing his cape out behind him as he cackled. I just had on red contacts and my coat that I took off when I got to work.

'Agents of SHIELD' doing 'Thor' crossover | Inside TV | EW.com'Agents of SHIELD' doing 'Thor' crossover | Inside TV | EW.com
After Dark World is released in theaters Nov. 8, the Nov. 19 episode of S.H.I.E.L.D., “The Well,” will continue where the film left off. Here’s the official description: “In the aftermath of the events chronicled in the feature film Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World, Coulson and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pick up the pieces–one of which threatens to destroy a member of the team.”
The episode is directed by sci-fi TV luminary Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: The Next Generation), who previously directed an episode of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.
There’s a slew of announced guest stars in the episode, but none from Thor 2 (so no Chris Hemsworth stopping by to wave his hammer at Coulson).

Are any of you guys still a bit peeved with disappointment for this show? Because I feel like I'm one of the last people left to still be enjoying it.
I mean, it's just fun, so why are people getting upset about all the cheese? Cheese is great! I think it's important to remember that we kind of made this happen ourselves anyway, with all the #CoulsonLives stuff anyway.

Not sure how I feel about being forced to watch a new release movie just because I watch a TV show. I can see having them in the same universe makes it a marketing tie-in no brainer to some, but it just kinda irritates me on a deep level. It'd be fine if it was somehow referencing things but did it in a way that didn't require seeing the movie for it to make sense and isn't a spoiler at all for those who have not seen the film.
I'm greatly enjoying the show. It was obvious it was not going to be on the level of Breaking Bad or any of the other shows that are not on one of the major networks. Those shows are reserved for adults, and obviously do not make the type of money that ABC family has to make from it. Nor is it meant to be on the level of any of the actual crime drama shows, CSI, NCIS, etc., because they have to factor in the preteen to teenager age groups.
If you take the show for what it is, a fun hour on a Tuesday night, then it's great. I knew I wouldn't be getting any intellectual Shakespeare from it, so I'm just enjoying ride.
Plus I don't feel they're making me watch any movie I don't want to, but seriously, if you're a fan of Agents of SHIELD, would you not therefore be a fan of any of the Marvel Universe movies that tie into it? And therefore, by extension, want to watch any crossovers available?

That being said, yes, I would have preferred a more gritty AoS than presented, but we have to take what we can get.

I should clarify, it isn't that I don't want to go see Thor 2 during the theatrical run. It's that I feel like perhaps I'm almost being FORCED to see it in a set span of time just so a separate work (the TV show) that is set in the same universe will make sense, and that by NOT seeing a first run movie in a theater during that set amount of time, I will somehow be missing something in relation to the story/plot of the television show or perhaps run the risk of something in the television show being a spoiler.
Part of me wants to reassure myself that they won't do it that way, but then the rest of me realizes that if they're going to all the trouble for tie-in marketing between the properties, it implies that by NOT seeing the film during that span of time, you will miss something in the TV show. Whether you WILL be missing out on something or not of course remains to be seen, but the implication is the underlying basis of the marketing ploy and THAT is what kinda irks me. It's great from a marketing standpoint, but not great from a PR standpoint.

I love that it is connected so closely to Thor 2, and I hope it is to Captain America 2 as well. I was planning on seeing both the weekend they are released anyway, so no problem for me.
The only thing I think the show is missing would be Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill. I think she would be great on this show. She was in the pilot. I hope she joins the cast eventually.

I think that if they're smart, they'll use the episode to make people who haven't already seen Thor TDW, want to go see it. I mean, surely the mass audience of the show are fans of the MCU anyway so they already know what's happened in Thor TDW and want the show to just acknowledge what happened. Why shouldn't a cameo from Darcy or Intern be enough to sate us? I really don't think they'd be so oblivious as to spoil the film for people like yourself who want to see it when it suits them, not just because it's out.

How I Met Your Mother, in which she is a lead character, ends this season. I assume she'll become a regular next season if she wants the job.

Completely agree with the above. I feel my interest in this series waning... been much more interesting with Kerry Washington, recently.

I'd expect that the Thor tie-in episode will allude to the movie enough for those who have seen it to smile and nod appreciatively while being self-contained enough that those who haven't seen the film yet won't be missing out on anything too important. Sort of like how the show has alluded to the Avengers (obviously assuming a lot of the audience has seen it) but aside from the mentions of Coulson being stabbed in the heart hasn't made any specific references that would be lost on the three people watching the show that didn't see the movie.

I've been a negligent fan and haven't seen any of the Mavel films that came out this year ... Mainly because I don't enjoy going to movie theaters anymore, but that's another issue for another time. :facepalm
Despite my gripes, I enjoy the show and look forward to more cameos, plot tie-ins, etc ... Because of the lower budget the show has a lot of opportunites to feature the lesser heroes/vilians throughout the MCU that couldn't otherwise draw enough revenue for a feature film.
