Will this be a Fall 2013 Series?

OR will they show the pilot and then launch in the fall?

Meh... whatever. Until they cast Summer Glau or Jewel Staite, I won't be that excited about the casting for this show.

Jewel Staite could just sit in a chair looking pretty and I'd watch that!

It's unlikely that SHIELD will make it onto the Fall 2013 schedule, but you never know.  If the show does get put on the schedule that quickly, it would be highly unusual.  That said, I still wouldn't be surprised if it happened.  It would be best to move on the program as quickly as possible. 

I am starting to get a vibe that it's a cop show generic execpt with Marvel tag.  Another boring CSI type ripoff show maybe. 

 I expect something along the lines of Torchwood, but with more competence and less sex.
