And Bobbi's been cast.

Adrianne "I was almost Wonder Woman" Palicki is our new Mockingbird in Agents of SHIELD
I like this choice. Yes the WW pilot sucked and GI Joe 2 was hardly stellar, but she was not really the big problem in either of those cases. I really hope that she has a costume, pretty please? Also, I wonder if she'll have any kind of connection to Hawkeye? It doesn't even have to be romantic. He could be her mentor/the guy who trained her, or an older brother-type figure, or something like that.
Aaaaiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!!!! So excited to have another LEGIT Marvel Persona brought to the television world!!! Can't wait for her introduction! She's gorgeous!
I read on her Wikipedia page that she has a brother who writes comics, and that he influenced her own interest in them. So we have somebody here who probably actually
knows about her character. And she's hot, too. Mockingbird might become one of my favorites after I see her in-story.

"Natasha Romanoff, A.K.A. Black Widow - ex-KGB, formerly with S.H.I.E.L.D...Probably the brains of this operation.I have followed her career, and she has been consistently UNDERRATED."
Very excited to see one of my favorite characters brought to TV. Hopefully, she'll return to a book soon in a prominent roll.
Favorites: Natasha Romanova, Dinah Lance, Janet Van Dyne, Selina Kyle, Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, Kate Bishop, Sharon Carter, Sue Storm Richards, Carol Danvers

That's a great casting! Sad that it's only for one episode currently, but hopefully she'll be well received enough to be brought back for more later in the season.
Mockingbird was one of my favorites when I discovered her in the late West Coast Avengers before she died. I then tracked down all of her appearances and loved how she held her own with all the super powered Avengers. Even though I hated that she died, I liked the effect it had on Hawkeye and the others. When she came back during Secret Invasion, I was skeptical if she still had a place. Thankfully she did (and does). I liked that she started up WCA and wished that there was a bit more with that. She hasn't had as much screen time as I would have liked, and the Infinity Formula that she now has is little understood (or applied). I liked her in the previous volume of Secret Avengers and really am looking forward to her next appearance.
As for Palicki, I am very confident that she will do a good job and will be brought in for more episodes. I think that they have plans for her long term going all the way back to a failed ABC Family pilot with Bobbi being recruited for SHIELD out of high school. Can't wait!
I'd much prefer Maggie Grace over Adrianne Palicki, but beggars can't be choosers.
