Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is coming to the small screen near you. Via ABC for the fall 2013 lineup. We'll see Agent Phil Coulson back from a whole in his chest to lead the assembly of super powered heroes. Super powered "heroes" have fill the small screen landscape for years. In recent memory, we've had Heroes and Alphas. All the way back to The Greatest American Hero. People with powers always makes for interesting television!
The latest trailers and sneaks have us seeing more high quality production brought to the small screen. Some familiar faces from Whedon's past show up and some new faces.
The one I am most glad to see is that of Ming-Na Wen. Wen first came to the public eye with her lead role of sorts in the The Joy Luck Club. Since that time, she's amassed a steady stream of big and small parts that help build her a very strong legacy. It's always nice to see a Asian American Women is a strong role that's not sterotyped for an Asian. Good job Whedon. Your shows seem to try to cast for the acting vs. the ethnic group for the most part. I've noticed that on Firefly, Buffy, and Angel.
I will be looking for the fall television season. It's been a long time (Lost season 3) I've had that feeling. Good job!
