It's shaping up to be another great season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., perhaps as mind-blowing and emotional as the first. Last night, in "A Hen in the Wolfhouse," (i.e. sweet Simmons working for evil Hydra) there was a comforting hug between Coulson and Skye after she found out who and what she might be and tried to find her father. That's the Coulson I love most. A close second is the ass-kicking Coulson, the quippy Coulson, the hard Coulson, and the scared Coulson. Really, I love the whole package. Clark Gregg has been fantastic. So has everyone else. The team that was hobbled at the finale is coming together again with a number of new and welcome faces. I can't wait to see how the fractured Fitz and Simmons will repair that relationship, and how she will come to terms with what he's been through without her.
Okay, now that I took too much time out of my super busy day (shirts I like only release on super busy days) to talk about one of my favorite shows (and cereals!) and struggle with even signing into nearly broken Photobucket to upload the pic, I should tell you that Phil's Agents of K.R.I.S.P.I.E.S. by Bamboota is available today for $11 at TeeFury. You'll have a second chance to get it tomorrow at a slightly increased price.
Just a little while ago I woke up and saw my Coulson Lives shirt. Since my glasses weren't on, he looked like Red Reddington and I thought, "I really need James Spader's face on my chest. I hope there's not another Coulson shirt I have to get any time soon." Then as soon as I opened my email I saw this subtle beauty ($10 only today), which is actually basically what I wanted to draw a couple months ago!
No. No no no no no no no! Oh, well, alright. Yes. Damn it. No! I can't. I really can't right now. Ugh, I'm going to be kicking myself for this one. I'm already mad I didn't jump on this, draw it, and submit it as my first shirt. But I probably wouldn't have beat the designer to the punch anyway, because I would have fiddled and procrastinated. I also have to pass it over because of money problems. This one is a heartbreaker. I can't have one, but you can get yours as RiptApparel and if you see me one day on the street you'll know me. I'll be the one who recognizes the reference, smiles, maybe laughs, says "Great shirt" or "Coulson Lives," but there will be tears in my eyes. Although, considering tomorrow night's episode, there might be tears in my eyes for another reason.
By the way, when someone finally makes a Blacklist shirt, I don't care if I have less than no money. It is necessary to my life that I get one. Coulson I already have two of, so it's less painful to pass on. And I have a feeling that The Blacklist is going to somehow make its way into most of my posts, just like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Fringe before that.
UPDATE
When a second chance to buy a new version of this shirt came around, I didn't hesitate to buy it.
