We all collectively held our breathes when Joss Whedon’s television pilot Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was put to the test by ABC. And by that I mean, it came as no surprise that just an hour ago, ABC made it official that the show is a go.
Just a few years ago the show Heroes dominated televisions. It focused on an ensemble cast, with multiple story arcs that eventually intertwined together. The first season in particular built up to the confrontation between the heroes (depending on your definition of “hero”) and the villain.
Ron Moore of the brilliant re-imagining of Battlestar Galactica is coming back to Syfy with a new show entitled Helix. The thriller follows a group of scientists in the Arctic, who look into a possible disease outbreak. And much like The Thing, they find themselves in a terrifying predicament.
The CW’s meta show Cult had a promising premise, which dealt with a fictional hit show entitled Cult and its cult following, who took the show dangerously seriously. The show took playful jabs at rabid fans of current shows like Supernatural. And frankly, that’s part of what made Cult so fun.
AMC’s brilliant show Breaking Bad concludes this summer. So where does that leave Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul? In a spinoff, obviously! By which I mean a potential spinoff for Ben Odenkirk’s scene stealing lawyer, Saul Goodman.
Hulu owners Disney and News Corp. are apparently at odds on where to put the focus on the online streaming service. News Corp. wants to focus solely on a subscription service while Disney wants to continue the current model, which offers that and ad-supported content. The rumor going around is that one might buy out the other.
Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards will get a teaser from Marvel’s Iron Man 3. One of the scenes they’ll get to enjoy is Tony Stark calling on his armor piece-by-piece, rather than having a machine place his armor on. Right now, you can enjoy it too by watching the video above.
