More than five years ago I provided some blueprints to the art team making “Agents of SHIELD.” They were to be used as set dressing; as often happens, the scene they appeared in was greatly truncated, and the stuff that would have been recognizably “mine” were largely unseen. Oh, well. But even more unseen was a detail that I don’t imagine has been noticed in the intervening years since the show was broadcast.
In the course of the AoS episode “Seeds,” Our Heroes visited a SHIELD training facility. Visible there was a “Wall of Valor” commemorating all SHIELD agents who died in the line of duty from 1941 to 2015. As a bit of a reward for providing some blueprints, my name was added to the wall. An “Agent S. Lowther” died somewhere between 1991 and 2015. So I’m in the MCU… I’m just dead. Given the position of the name, it seems likely that Agent Lowther bought the farm sometime in the early 21st century; this works, as I would have been in my early 30’s.
There are a few shots online that show the wall close enough to make out some names, but *of* *course,* my name is *just* obscured by the bottom bit of jacket here. If anyone has the Blu Ray of season one (was it released in 4K?) and can see if a frame or two later that name is shown and legible, I’d be interested in seeing it. Because… well, that was probably the one time my name will be on TV, so…
