Does anyone know about "Slingshot" and/or is watching it?

Quote:
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD might be on its winter hiatus, but ABC and Marvel are delivering a special treat for fans of the series: Slingshot, a six-part digital series following Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez during the time between Seasons 3 and 4.

The complete six-part part digital series Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot is currently streaming on ABC.com, ABC's mobile app, Marvel.com, and ABC’s and Marvel’s respective YouTube channels. . .

It's also streaming on Hulu where I discovered it last night, however, I've only watched the first episode. But it does look interesting.

Here is the official ABC site for it:

Haven't watched it.

I actually stopped watching AoS this season. I made it about 3 or 4 episodes into the season before I lost interest. I'm sure I'll re-watch it someday on DVD. But tuning in every week? Not anymore. The writers failed to keep me interested.

It was like watching an episode without the B story or most of the cross MCU promotions. The exception being showing an enhanced person register under the Sokovian Accords. Being online you can easily skip sitting through the credits 6 times. And yes there is a Stan Lee cameo

I'm sorry to hear that, Mark. But like it's been said, people have different taste and interest in things.
Kind of how you and AFtrEFkt used to like those horrid superhero shows from the 70s.

I didn't dislike it. It just wasn't gripping enough to hold my interest every week. I'll wait till it hits Netflix, then binge watch the whole season over 4 or 5 days. And I have to admit, I'm starting to get a little tired of the Marvel-verse. I've been a Marvel nerd since I was a little kid, and even I am starting to think it's time to let this particular franchise lie fallow for a while until someone can come along with some fresh ideas. It's all starting to taste the same.

I was a kid in the '70s. What can I say? I now recognize how bad most of them where, but I still enjoy the nostalgia factor. To this day, I would much rather sit through an episode of WONDER WOMAN or THE INCREDIBLE HULK than any sitcom on any network today.

I found that watching season 1 of Agents of SHIELD on a binge worked much better than waiting and waiting for the Hydra turn.

I have found out that my mind has been reprogrammed I can't think of an hour long favorite from the 70s or 80s that doen't seem to drag now. The big family westerns and the half hour dramas of the 50s and 60s still seem to work.
