The trailer for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. just hit.

It's a Joss Whedon show so that means it should be good. And the other reason it should be good?
So is anyone else excited for this? Cause I know I sure as hell am.

The first episode was a good start. Agent Ward is a bit of a cliche, but otherwise I'm happy with the cast.

I think Ward is supposed to be, because it makes him the straight man of a very oddball group.

So far, so extremely good. I was very happy with the writing for this, it really captures the same action/comedy smart-assery that the Avengers had.

Interesting, and this is a tv show??
Seems by looking at the trailer they have a BIG budget!
Lets hope it will come to europe to, would hate to download them again...

On Hulu too.

I'd just like to know who's fucking bright idea it was to run it opposite NCIS?




I see Whedon continues his habit of re-using actors in his new shows. Good to see Ron Glass and J. August Richards again.

I hope Ron Glass's character will be a regular.

So you're saying he'd be royale-ly cheesed?

Since it seems that Coulson is basically reporting directly to Hill (and presumably Fury) that it's a given we'll see Hill again.

"And yeah it hurt a little but but I mask the pain to make myself more attractive to women. DAMN that works FAST!" or that's how I remember the particular line, anyway.

Yeah, the 'that works fast!' line had me laughing good. Coulson's first entrance was great too. ;)

And that last little bit at the end was a great callback to both Captain America, but also to something that featured in the comics from time to time as part of SHIELD's arsenal.

And speaking of that arsenal, and based on Hill's rather cryptic comment, part of me wonders if Coulsen is really a high end Life Model Decoy who actually thinks he is Coulson.

Wouldn't be the first time that's happened.
