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. |

The video quality is poor. It looks cartoonish. It's constantly buffering and stalling. But I can switch to Amazon and it works flawlessly.
I assume it's due to server demand in my area but maybe it's an issue with TWC. |

That sucks. Netflix usually has outstanding picture in my experience. I wouldnt keep it either if the quality was poor.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried connecting from a non-TWC connection, like from work or some other hotspot?

Yeah, they don't keep bringing Tahiti up for no reason.
Robots have already been mentioned enough for me to think he isn't an LMD. Maybe it's backdoor way to introduce magic to the marvel universe, of the dr strange variety. |

Checked out the first two episodes of Arrow on Netflix. Not bad! It definitely has that Nolan feel to it. I'll give Shield a few more episodes but I am definitely into Arrow.

Arrow gets better too, IMO. The last episodes of the first season were quite good..and so far I'm liking the second a lot more (I wasn't really a fan of the whole "list" thing..pretty lame, and the flashbacks are a bit more interesting now too).

Arrow: watched and enjoyed the first season, fell behind on season two and then the DVR filled up so I had to kill it. Might get back to it at some point
SHIELD: I don't mind the slowness. I like Coulson (the character and the actor), Skye is hot, I like the ass-kicking female pilot... Yes, it's a bit derivative ("X Files", "Warehouse 13") and would benefit from more superhero (does Chris Evans make so much money they can't nab him for an episode?). Still better than most TV drivel. Netflix: I'm also three weeks into my free trial month. Unimpressed by the limited film selection but have no image issues (using my iPhone via WiFi and my HD TiVo, though, not my computer). It's cheap enough that I'll probably keep it for its occasional usefulness (allowed me to refresh my memory of "Thor" before seeing "Thor 2", kept me occupied one night with insomnia when I rewatched some of "Buffy" Season 4, seems to have a lot of anime which I went to get more into, plus has some lesbian softporn, LOL). |

Best guess seems to be that the blue guy was a Kree.

Not sure what that thing was yet, but I thought that was one of the better eps in the series.

Stop watching this months ago. decided I'll just read the spoilers if there is anything I need to know that ties I to the movies. I don't feel like sitting through this week after week.
