Noooo. She has long hair?
The short hair is Maria Hill's defining physical feature.
At least she had it tied up though. It resembled her comics hair.She didn't have short hair in The Avengers either, though...
[BLACKOUT]J. August Richards has extremis.[/BLACKOUT]

Why does it look exactly like her? Nobody's answered that yet. It could just be a person that looks just like her, that's definitely possible, but when I see that person in that featurette I see Cobie Smulders.
720p, full screen, face up to the screen... how much closer can I look? Can someone explain to me why that's not her? Because I'd know Cobie's face anywhere.
I don't think its her. If its a secret they wouldn't have put the scene in the promo. If its not a secret they'd use it as part of the marketing (AVENGER STAR IN PILOT!) Guys, they're not going to do hidden cameos in a series premiere. They want people to watch the show.
I know, I hate that it seems like all the professional coverage is from each outlet's own custom press room. I miss all the footage from the floor! That was my favorite part, stupid as it sounds. I've been searching the last couple of days for any live coverage for the floor, but to no avail.Not enough info getting out of SDCC. I NEED MORE!!!
It'd be nice if ****ing G4 wasn't abandoning it's geek roots. I need coverage, you bastards!
After seeing the trailer I gotta say this looks pretty bad.
but I'm definitely not tuning in for the first episode.
I'm excited for what this show could do and how it could expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The dialogue was, to give a shout out to a certain fan site, Whedonesque. It was the best aspect of the pilot, and precisely what you expect from this team. Smart, witty, self referential, with lines playing off your expectations (such as a riff on Spider-Mans with great power comes great responsibility line).
Clark Gregg grounds the drama. Im not a fan of bringing back firmly and explicitly killed-off characters. But watching the pilot you realize the wisdom of having Agent Coulson. Though a minor role in the films, hes a very TV-friendly presence here. The character believes he was only dead for eight seconds or so after Loki shot him in The Avengers then spent time recovering in Tahiti. But were told by his colleagues, He really doesnt know does he? and He can never know. So, its a nice tease for the ongoing storyline. Also, as EW.com reported earlier today, Cobie Smulders has joined the cast too.
The rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. cast: Theres several young actors who are relatively new to TV audiences. Chloe Bennett as a pseudo anarchist hacker type Skye seemed to pop the most. I suspect her hyper-sexy adorkable-ness (think Olivia Munn back in her Attack of the Show days) will have plenty of young male fans thinking yes, a girlfriend like that would do nicely, while perhaps annoying some others. The rest of the cast didnt have as much of a chance to really define themselves, so its tough to say, but there is potential here.
Action: Trying to pull off a cinematic idea on a TV budget is one of the shows big challenges. If anything, S.H.I.E.L.D. was less lavish and action-driven than I expected (Foxs Almost Human looked more pricy). Thats not necessarily a bad thing. It can be a mistake to make a costly pilot if it means that regular episodes look dinky by comparison. You want the first episode to impress, but not set expectations too high.
