I want to say I read an interview where the actor said he wasn't told until an episode or two before the reveal. He actually thought they were calling him in to tell him they were killing him off.

Marvel developing Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff for ABC!

We’re told a spinoff is being developed by SHIELD executive producer Jeffrey Bell (Angel, The X-Files) and SHIELD writer Paul Zbyszewski (Lost, Hawaii Five-0).

However, story elements that are still to come on SHIELD this year will be used to lay the groundwork for the potential new series. So by the end of the season – assuming the details for this project haven’t already leaked, which is rather unlikely – the spinoff concept should be clear.

SHIELD currently averages 7.4 million viewers and a 2.8 rating among adults 18-49, when including seven days of DVR playback. If greenlit, the spinoff would expand Marvel’s TV empire yet again. On ABC there’s SHIELD and Agent Carter (that latter, we’re told, has about a roughly 60 percent chance of returning for a second season).

Iiiiiinteresting. Possibly a Mockingbird show?

I kind of like the proliferation of Marvel and DC shows everywhere. I think Constantine is likely dead, but Lucifer is a DC show also, so that would make 5 DC shows (Gotham, Flash, Arrow, Lucifer and the new CW Flash/Arrow spinoff show) coming up, and if Agent Carter gets renewed and this Shield spinoff gets picked up we'd have 3 Marvel shows, not including the 5 Semi-annual Netflix Marvel shows starting with Daredevil tomorrow.

Speaking of Daredevil, where is discussion for that held? Is Netflix considered premium cable?

Kalshane, I remember reading that too. But it's better if he was deliberately playing wooden!

Dammit, I want more Constantine lots more than I want an Agents of Shield spinoff.

There's also a live-action Teen Titans show coming to TNT. (I think it's called Titans and not so Teen, though).

Is Netflix considered premium cable?

Yeah, that's what we've been doing. The way they are released and watched has made them pretty hard to discuss, so far.

I hear you. It took me about a month to get through House of Cards, and although I anticipate enjoying Daredevil more, it's still probably going to take me at least 2 weeks to find that much time. I may also try and watch episodes with my 15 year old daughter who is a total comics geek. But her evening schedule with high school homework is often more brutal than mine.

Look at you, quoting like a master!

The knowledge was inside me the whole time.

Wolfram, it's good to see you posting.

What she said. It's great to have you back.
