Already five episodes down and with the sixth premiering this coming Tuesday,
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D has become quite the popular show, set in the same universe as the movies that make up the
Marvel Cinematic Universe and featuring the resurrected
Agent Phil Coulson (played by
Clark Gregg) leading a team of specially trained individuals on an ongoing global peace-keeping and superhuman activity mission.
How that pans out on it's entire 22 episode first season run still remains a cool mystery, but so do the subtle themes and references that connect the show to it's big screen brethren, including the big question that spins right out 2012's
The Avengers: How did Agent Coulson survive... And is it really him?
