Now that I think about it, I have a night class on Tuesdays this next fall. ABC is clearly out to get all of us Hero HQers! Hopefully, they'll put the episdoe on their website, which I think they do with most of their shows. Or I could just record it, anyway, with my DVR.

They did it to spite you, Jad. Those evil TV execs.

Sure, they decide to air the show on the one night in the week that I have a prior commitment! (Tuesdays at 8PM Eastern for those that don't want to click the link, although there are some pics and a short promo vid to see as well) C'mon, whoever scheduled that really should have checked with me first!

Guess I'll be watching this one 'on demand' (which is fine by me, I'll hust have to avoid too much discussion on the most recent episode until I get a chance to watch it)

EDIT - extended preview

I'm actually really excited for this Show. It seems like it has the potential to be a great show for Comic Book fans. My only concern is that it is going to be after the Avengers and that Coulson is going to be in it, and that Nick Fury most likely won't be on it a whole lot. But, besides that, it seems like it is going to be a great show.

I thought it was possible. I mean, the only confirmation we got that Coulson died was Fury's word. And you can never trust Fury's word. That's like the opposite of confirmation. It'd be really awesome if we ever got to see what the Avengers had to say about that and how that'd divide them from Fury and SHIELD, though I'm not sure how they're planning on handling that, if they even do plan on handling it. Coulson could totally end up in a future movie, which would let us see their reactions, but I guess we'll just have to wait and find out...

It has been confirmed that the series will take place AFTER the events of The Avengers.

I would be one of the people RS mentioned in the last post that would be a little upset if it turned out that Fury lied and Coulson didn't really die. If he really IS alive I would want to see how they would do the reactions of people like Cap and Tony, but with contractual stuff chances are pretty much zero that you would see that on the tv show. Maybe they'll make Coulson a LMD or have his brainwaves programmed into a computer or hologram to train the other SHIELD agents. Guess have to wait and find out.

Heard the news about Coulson, so that sounds pretty cool! I'm guessing it'll be set before the Avengers movie, but it's possible that they could do something where Fury lied about Coulson even dying in the movie. He is Fury, after all. I don't really think they'd do that, though, since you'd think lots of people would be real mad and say it "cheapens" his death in the movie.

Haha, you would think the guy was Iron Man with all that fanfare.

Looks like Coulson will be coming back (somehow!) in the TV series.

I wonder if this series will take place before the Avengers. Interesting......

I'm not sure they would. I mean, if they have Luke Cage, for example, pop up wouldn't ya wonder why they just didn't make him part of the main cast instead of all these guys no one knows about. Comic fans might not be a major part of the audience, but it seems smarter to grow awareness and fanbases by having the comic characters be the main cast, rather than just be on the fringe of it. Ya can't pick up a comic with any of these new Whedon characters in it.

Re: SHIELD TV series

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 03:31:52 GMT

I'm hoping that it'll be something where these characters are always meeting regular Marvel characters, though, which is still possible. Not like they gotta meet Iron Man or Thor, but there's plenty of characters who would never get their own movie that they could have pop up during the show.

Re: SHIELD TV series

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 04:42:04 GMT

It could still be a good show, but without comic book characters it doesn't really seem like a Marvel show.

Re: SHIELD TV series

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 04:29:51 GMT

Yeah, that is kinda disappointing. It seems like it could easily end up being a generic police procedural with the Marvel name on it, then. But I'm still planning to give it a shot, since you never know. Unless Jeph Loeb is involved. But, luckily this show is safe from him.

Re: SHIELD TV series

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 03:32:01 GMT

The cast for the SHIELD show has been revealed and none of them are characters from the comics.

Personally, that evaporates my excitement for the show. I can understand why they wouldn't wanna use characters like Mockingbird or Spider-Woman or Sh-Hulk, since they could potentially end up in the movies, but its hard for me to get excited about a show that has no connection to Marvel outside of the name SHIELD and probably a few references.

I don't know enough about SHIELD to be (totally) interested but I'll definitly give it a try.

Re: SHIELD TV series

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 02:53:38 GMT

Not too big on SHIELD so I probably won't be watching it.

Re: SHIELD TV series

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 04:46:32 GMT

There's way too many of those procedural shows out there, but I don't think (or want to think) that this'll be like that, since Whedon's making the pilot and I assume he'll have some control over the show. A generic show like that doesn't seem like his thing.

Re: SHIELD TV series

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 04:32:45 GMT

Yeah, I don't want to see a procedural cop show either, I'm not a fan of those and I'm not sure there's enough villains to do it that way, especially since a lot of the big names will be reserved for the movies. I'd like to see a big overarching story about AIM or Hydra, with the occasional Villain-of-the-week type of episode peppered in here and there.

Re: SHIELD TV series

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 15:34:01 GMT

yeah it's a little weird that Fury won't be there, at least not for the majority of the time

maybe he'll pop up from time to time

I'm hoping the pick a few marvel characters to add to mix and let them shine

maybe Mockingbird, Spider-woman, GW Bridge, Sharon Carter, etc

maybe even bring in another team or two, like Heroes for Hire or the Invaders for an arc or two

I think this series has a lot of potential

but I'm scared it's going to end up feeling like a procedural cop show or something

Re: SHIELD TV series

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 06:19:23 GMT

I really don't get the love that Coulson gets, haha.

There's a quote going around with Whedon saying that the show will be pretty much indepedent from the movie storylines, which makes me wonder if they're gonna decide to do this in a separate TV universe. It'd give them plenty of freedom and allow them to use and recast characters like Fury, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, which I'd be all in favor of since I don't think they can bank on "Hey, this is related to the movie everyone saw!" to support it and I doubt we'll be seeing Widow or Hawkeye getting their own movies. But I haven't seen an exact quote from Whedon so I could be completely wrong, haha. I think it'd be weird to do SHIELD without Fury though, it's like X-Men without Professor X.
