    Isn't that show (I don't watch it) going to be in it's final season this year? So they could mention Maria for the first season of SHIELD but not actually show her or just have her do a few guest spots and then bring her on full time when HIMTYM ended, right?
    The 9th Season will be its final season. They are currently on the 8th Season right now.

      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.

        I think it'll be after, with "how is Coulson alive" being a mystery much like what The Doctor is going through with Clara over on Doctor Who.

          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!

            I think it takes place after the movie but could be wrong. I wouldnt mind atleast seeing flashbacks about how everyone came together. Maybe they bring Clouson back using alien technology they aquired after the battle with Loki. Or they finally got that Hulk/Captian America serum under control where they can use it to bring people back to live while on the edge of death. Wouldnt bring back the dead but would bring back when the last breath is being taken and all the organs are still in tact.

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

              I think it's been said that it takes place after, and why and how Coulson is alive is part of the story. Clark Gregg himself said this: “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."

              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.

                It does seem that it will be set after the movie and not before, that Coulson will return somehow. That's cool too. I'm a long time reader of comics and there are a ton of ways for people to (and that they have) returned from the dead. That's if Coulson was even dead for sure. I mean, yes we saw him supposedly 'dead' but Fury might have engineered that to bring the Avengers together as a cohesive unit.

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

                  Did they change the title again? To just Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D?

                    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.

                      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.

                        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.

                          It's possible. Or it's kind of like how, in the U.S. at least, "Marvel's Avengers" was the formal title of the movie but everyone called it "Avengers" anyway.

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

                              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.
