1:57
Blake Wright: Moving straight into Q&A…
1:58
Blake Wright: It’s a Make-A-Wish foundation kid. Asking about heroes and villains from the movies showing up in the show.
1:59
Blake Wright: Joss says we may see some people… and some newer people. He ends with a ‘probably’, but he won’t say when.
1:59
Blake Wright: Next question… Will Deadpool show up?
1:59

1:59

Comment From Jacob B.
What is the story to Coulson’s miraculous recovery?
2:00
Blake Wright: They are going to show the pilot!!!
2:00
EDouglasCS: I’m guessing they won’t reveal that immediately… or maybe the show is a prequel.
2:00
EDouglasCS: The whole pilot? Wowzers? Guess we won’t hear from you for a bit Blake? 🙂
2:00
Blake Wright: People just went nuts!
2:01
ComingSoon.net: Have fun Blake! Stay tuned readers…
2:01
Blake Wright: Here is comes!
2:01
Blake Wright: Making me shut down. Bye!
2:01
Comment From Fanamir
Will any plot elements from the one-shots, such as Jasper Sitwell, the duo from Item 47, or the Zodiac key set to appear in Agent Carter?
2:02
EDouglasCS: I have to imagine they will try to include some of that stuff… but I get the impression Agent Carter might be in the past if Dominic Cooper is in that One Shot
2:02
EDouglasCS: Like maybe the early days of SHIELD
2:02
Comment From Hythlodeus
a running commentary for the pilot? pretty please?
2:03
EDouglasCS: They have to shut down electronics whenever they show footage including laptops so Blake may be offline for the next 45 minutes. Hopefully he’ll have some things to say.
2:07
EDouglasCS: If it’s a 90 minute pilot then it’s probably 70 minutes of footage although the panel only goes until 3 Pacific so maybe they won’t show the whole pilot.
2:09
Comment From Aerialgreen
Will you please consider a non-spoiler review SHH? really, I want SO much to know what happens on the pilot but I’d hate myself if I don’t watch it properly come Sept 24
2:09
EDouglasCS: I’ve asked Blake to post a couple thoughts here but post something longer on SHH… not sure what kind of spoilers they’ll show
2:14
Spencer Perry-SHH: So anybody know any good jokes?
2:15
EDouglasCS: Nope
2:15
Spencer Perry-SHH: I’ve got one!
2:15
Spencer Perry-SHH: Where does Napoleon keep his armies?
2:15
Spencer Perry-SHH: In his sleevies!
2:16
Comment From AgentPhil
“Why won’t Marvel say how Coulson survived?” “They want to keep it Loki.”
2:16
Spencer Perry-SHH: That’s the spirit!
2:17
Comment From Sam H
when does the panel start?
2:17
Spencer Perry-SHH: It’s already begun but they’re screening the pilot for those in attendance, and they’re not allowed to blog during the screening.
2:18
Comment From Jamie
I don’t want to link off the site, but there is a live blog of the pilot going on right now over at Marvel’s site.
2:19
EDouglasCS: Jamie we’re not linking to Marvel’s site. We’ll have our own write-up one it’s done which will be more than just bits of quotes.
2:19
Spencer Perry-SHH: and context!
2:38
Comment From Roku
Does agents of shield connect to avengers 2 or is it its own thing?
2:38
Spencer Perry-SHH: Its set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but as far as direct connections we’ll just have to wait and see.
2:38
EDouglasCS: I don’t think it connects to Avengers but you’ll probably see people with powers in it.
2:39
EDouglasCS: Not sure about Samuel L Jackson either… he’s pretty firmly in the Cinematic universe
2:39
Spencer Perry-SHH: Maybe Level 7 is above Fury’s paygrade
2:40
EDouglasCS: What is this Level 7 thing?
2:40
Comment From TheDarkNut
is it a 1/2 hour show or an hour long show?
2:40
EDouglasCS: I believe an hour long.
2:42
EDouglasCS: Marvel’s Agent M was just asked to shut off his computer too
2:42
EDouglasCS: Ha ha
2:42
EDouglasCS: Oh I see re: Level 7… I thought that refererred to the level of superheroes/villains they’d go after
2:42
Spencer Perry-SHH: I can’t imagine it’s going to be much longer, panel is supposed to end at 3
2:42
Comment From TV-Watcher
Do you think there’s going to be the same press issue as there was with Dollhouse and ‘things will pickup from episode 6’ – ‘the network want’s standalone and not continuing storylines? For comic fans you’ve got to be worried they might dumb it down to be more accessible for channel hoppers.
2:43
EDouglasCS: Probably more standalone I’d guess… that generally works better on television.
2:43
Spencer Perry-SHH: I’m sure there will be an arc for the season though
2:44
Spencer Perry-SHH: Blake is currently watching the pilot and should be back with us momentarily
2:44
EDouglasCS: Silas has just started live blogging Game of Thrones if you need something to do while waiting for Blake’s thoughts on the pilot
2:44
EDouglasCS: https://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=106651
2:45
EDouglasCS: I’m skipping that because I’ve barely seen Season 3
2:45
Comment From Nexus
LOLA is a SHIELD hover car!
2:45
Spencer Perry-SHH: She better be!
2:46
EDouglasCS: The pilot is over… hopefully Blake will be back with some thoughts before he runs over to Hall H
2:46
EDouglasCS: Blake?
2:48
Blake Wright: I’m back!
2:49
Blake Wright: Wow! That was excellent.
2:49
EDouglasCS: How was it!?!?
2:49
EDouglasCS: Let’s hear some spoilers… do we see any supervillains or heroes we might know? 🙂
2:49
Comment From Fanamir
So, what’s the scoop on Michael Peterson (J. August Richard’s character)?
2:49
Blake Wright: Pitch perfect Joss.
2:50
Blake Wright: @Fanamir…. He is a down and out single dad… with a secret.
2:52
Blake Wright: @Khan… Coulson’s death was faked. Pure and simple. No smoke and mirrors there… but there was a joke about how long he had to hold his breath.
2:52
Spencer Perry-SHH: Well that’s underwhelming….
2:53
Blake Wright: @Aerialgreen… Lola is a star.
2:53
Blake Wright: @Fanamir… Yes, there is something going on there. Just remember… Tahiti.
2:54
ComingSoon.net: Alright guys, Blake’s gotta get going. Let’s wrap this up.
2:54
EDouglasCS: So it does take place after Avengers though, not as a prequel?
2:54
EDouglasCS: what about any superheroes/villains? Do we see them facing any?
2:54
Blake Wright: After Avengers, yes.
2:54
Comment From GB
Any Marvel characters show up other than Hill?
2:55
Blake Wright: Pilot had no other heroes or villains in the flesh, but some big time name dropping.
2:55
Blake Wright: @Nexus… Tahiti is the key.
2:56
Blake Wright: I’m outta here! Thanks guys… Tune in Sept. 24!
