is in a strange place both as a TV show and as a constant noise generator for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.It has to be all things to all people, as often as not, and that can lend to it being none of them to anyone. Having to be a part of a movie universe and yet being unable to touch many of the bigger parts or change them significantly, it be seen to often flounder in place. Needing to carve out its own identity it can run afoul of other plans in motion.Which is where we come in. Recent developments in Captain America: The Winter Soldier have necessitated a seismic shift in the show that shares DNA with the film. In reaction to that shift, the doors are flung wide open to the future. A future I am going to explore, with you, in ways that the show only wishes it could.Let me start this by laying out three things:a) I like the show. I enjoy it and find myself discussing it a lot. By that criteria it works for me. b) I know none of these ideas will ever, ever, happen. But I really would enjoy them if they did. c) anyone can come up with ten ideas, nine is more fun.So with those thoughts in mind let me lay out some semi-possible-yet-totally-impossible directions the show could take that would utterly delight me (also fair warning for Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spoilers!):
