The excitement for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is overwhelming, it’s probably as close to the excitement of if Firefly were about to be renewed…  well, maybe that’s going too far, but then again…  Agent Phil Coulson! Am I right, or am I right?!

Anyway, check out the character photos of this ensemble cast, including two people that Whedon has already decided to ship for us (Fitz and Simmons, anyone?)  Then check out the 2 short clips after the jump.
