Just looking over SHIELDsite.net, and read the basic premise of the plot. I wonder if it'll take place some time after the events of The Avengers film, meaning does it pick up in the basic sense, from there or is this sort of "how it all started" deal? Reading the plot I'm not quite sure, as it could be construed either way.Comment

Interesting. The prevailing fan theory seems to be that it will be set before the movies--sort of SHIELD Smallville style? The beginning of the legend as it were?--and that's how Coulson would be alive. But I could easily see it being set after. As someone elsewhere said, we never actually saw Coulson's dead body other than right after he died. And heck, as every comic book reader knows, that doesn't mean he has to stay dead!Comment

My theories are its alien technology, the super serum stuff, or robotics.Comment

Then there's the show's official write-up:
"Fresh from his role in the summer’s box office smash, MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) returns to the worldwide law enforcement organization S.H.I.E.L.D."
Returns? Well, I guess it could refer to the actor returning, but I think this happens later... which would and could lead to tie-ins with upcoming movies.Comment

Clark Gregg himself: “After people see the show, they’ll have some clue as to why I’m still there, still breathing. But I don’t think they’ll know everything."

As for your theories Jeff, I think alien tech is the most likely. Though you can't rule out magic either.Comment

I believe they did! Man, they really need to stop changing the title around. I actually liked just plain "S.H.I.E.L.D." myself. Short and to the point.Comment

The cast looks absolutly awful, and I was hoping he was'nt going to be using Angel, Buffy or Firefly actors in it but i get the feeling we'll be seeing plenty of them, I get a "Dollhouse" feeling about this, it needs superheroes in it to work i think.Comment

Joss actually said he went into this series looking to stay away from using 'old favorites' from his other series. But that sometimes those people are just the only ones he can see doing the job right for his characters so he hires them, sort of despite their previous history.Comment

Is there any news on when this is coming out? Sounds really cool, I just hope it doesn't turn into another Aquaman.Comment

ABC will announce their Fall 2013 schedule on April 14. Chances are good that news MIGHT come out before then. If it's a go, then it'll probably premiere in September or October.Comment
