Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D....this fall on ABC
Josh Whedon is involved. I'm in!
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/liv...-agents-520903 It's official: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is on the air at ABC. The Joss Whedon drama based on the Marvel Comics property has landed a series order at the Disney-owned network, ABC announced Friday. The ABC Studios project is based on Marvel Comics' secret intelligence organization that has appeared in countless titles, including Iron Man, Captain America and The Ultimates, since being introduced in the 1960s. The military law-enforcement agency's moniker stands for Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistic Directorate, which also has evolved over time in the comics. Whedon is on board to co-pen the pilot alongside his brother Jed Whedon and Jed's wife, Maurissa Tancharoen; the trio previously teamed on the three-part web series Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Avengers and Buffy the Vampire Slayer mastermind Whedon directed the pilot, which has had ABC social media accounts for months. S.H.I.E.L.D. is executive produced by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, Tancharoen, Jeffrey Bell and Marvel TV's Jeph Loeb. ER's Ming-Na stars as Agent Melinda May, The Avengers' Clark Gregg reprises his role as Agent Phil Coulson, Killing Lincoln's Brett Dalton is set as gruff rising star Agent Grant Ward, Elizabeth Henstridge as science whiz Agent Gemma Simmons and Iain DeCaestecker as tech guru Agent Leo Fitz, with Nashville's Chloe Bennet set as Skye, a superhero-obsessed woman. Since the project was first announced in August, it has been a clear front-runner to land on ABC's 2013-14 schedule. ABC Entertainment Group president Paul Lee told reporters in January that the project was being fast-tracked and he was "very hopeful" that the entry with a "great script" would go "Marvel has the ability to bring the whole family around it," Lee said at the time. "Joss has great relationships around it. There's a lot of real funny male-female relationships and flirtations, but it's also Joss and Marvel, so there's a lot of action to it." "My boss Bob Iger buys Marvel, and how wonderful is it for ABC to be able to use the core talent from that and not use the Marvel brand but the Avengers franchise for a show that is not exactly about the Avengers but is attached to it?" Lee said, noting that Whedon was already working on scripts at the time. ABC will start a major marketing push for the high-profile project with a sizable built-in fan base Sunday, May 12, airing a first look at 8 p.m. ahead of the season finale of Once Upon a Time. |

That would be one of the reasons they call the ep "The Only Light in the Darkness".

Well, there are Kree now, officially...
Although I still don't think they have the rights to the skrulls. Or they're shared or something. That's why we had Chitauri in The Avengers. |

I think another reason for Chitauri was that the aliens were basically just going to be Loki's cannon fodder in the battle of New York so they didn't want to burn a species like the Kree, Skrulls, Badoon, etc. Plus, if it was an army of Kree, they would destroy the Avengers fairly easily. |

The Super Skrull has fought everyone from the FF to the XMen to the Hulk. I can't see the FF locking up the characters/rights. And I agree that it would take an Avengers movie with X-3 size cast of heroes to take on a race that can copy both the look and powers of heroes.

Pretty solid tonight, some good character moments. I like that they didn't leave Ward a mystery for long (which isn't a surprise since he was on a deadline). Feels like it's building up to some shit in the finale.

Hell of a good episode tonight. The TAHITI reveal was pretty unexpected.
Turning out to be a pretty awesome series. Hopefully they end it well. |

That was good. Although the fx with lola falling from the plane were hilariously bad.
They've really turned the corner I think. |

The fact that they shelled out for FX like that in a TV show at all is pretty impressive.
