#BingePrep: Luke Cage

There are exactly 40 days between now and Friday, September 30th.
There are exactly 66 episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
There are exactly 26 episodes of Daredevil.
There are exactly 13 episodes of Jessica Jones.

There is enough time to comfortably view all episodes of the Marvel Television Universe (MTU) in preparation for the season 4 premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on Tuesday, September 20th and the 13-episode premiere of Luke Cage on Friday, September 30th. All of the episodes are available on Netflix.

Marvel Television Universe?
Despite the fact that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has its origins in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and that its showrunners have painstakingly maintained the synchrony with the various MCU feature films, The Powers That Be at Disney under the leadership of Bob Iger has steadfastly refused any further crossovers between the television series and the MCU.  Consequently, I've taken to calling the television series the MTU until such time as those Powers That Be pull their collective heads out of their collective butts.

There's no reason why characters from the Netflix series can't turn up in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or vice versa since AOS, Agent Carter and the Netflix series are all produced by ABC Studios and MARVEL Television.

So, here's my plan.
I'm going to watch at least two episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and one episode of the Netflix series every day starting today.  I'll have to work in a few extra episodes to make the AOS season premiere in time, but that's easily doable.

The Luke Cage series looks incredible.
