ABC picks up Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.D

We all assumed it was a sure thing, but it's now finally official - ABC has picked up Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as a series, debuting this fall.

Co-written by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen and directed by Joss Whedon, the S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot was filmed back in January - one of the earliest pilots to go into production this year. It was obviously a high profile project, both as an offshoot of the uber-successful Marvel movie series and specifically as a follow-up/spinoff of Whedon's amazingly huge Avengers movie, the third highest grossing film ever.

Is it weird I'm looking forward to how they explain Phil Coulson still being alive?? I guess Loki didn't stab him hard enough...

Forget the whole connection to the Avengers.

There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

Also, ABC executives, let it be known that if you decide to cancel this show, you will be FLAYED ALIVE.

It sounds wonderful, but will they be able to pull it off on a network budget?

I'm guessing they'll say that Coulson never died, and Nick Fury just said he did to get the Avengers to assemble. Maybe they saved him with some of that tesseract-powered technology they were working on.

It probably won't be that expensive. It appears to be based off secret agents instead of superheroes, and they'll probably deal with more realistic situations that mutants and aliens.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Absolutely. Take a look at Alias, an old J.J. Abrams spy show with Jennifer Garner. That's the kind of budget I can picture. Or maybe Firefly level.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

So... What is S.H.I.E.D?

Is it some poor man's S.H.I.E.L.D. substitute?

Yeah, that does sound like an organization Whedon would make a series about.

For some reason I feel like there would be skittish horses involved.

So a show entirely about Fluttershy?

... I'm okay with this.

Maybe Fluttershy teams up with Agent Coulson.

... Did we just invent the best TV show ever?!
