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. |

It got a full season order for next year, so I don't think it's in any danger yet. They are cutting the budget, but that's nothing unusual. That also means probably not much Ghost Rider (he's evidently really expensive).

The previous season got a little goofy. But the LMD story this season has been pretty good.

Back last night. Really, really good start.
This is seriously one of the best shows on tv now. Pretty amazing, considering where it started. |

I gradually quit watching it a couple years ago. Even thought about watching last night but didn't. I may have to give it another shot.

I liked it quite a bit. That's one way to jump from season to season.
My first thought seeing Earth like that was Thanos and his Infinity Gauntlet. |

Personally I thought that part was lame doing that scale of cataclysm for a MCU TV property unless it's an alternate universe/ dimension

Stopped during the Hive arc. Going back to the Hydra well got old fast. The new origins of Hydra were dumb as hell too.

Agents of SHIELD got picked up for another season. I'm still watching it and they are making a lot of references to Infinity War. The next season is shorter as well so they could delay the start of it closer to A4 if they wanted to and kind of wrap up this show with the end of the avengers arc.

I liked this season until the whole dumb plot twist with Talbot turning into an anti-hero. Dumb.
