Ah well, still a very good, very Whedony day.

Having said that, I hope every one breaks twice as many legs as are avalable.

She's now working on two other ABC shows in pretty heavy roles, so it's unlikely just due to time constraints, I'm guessing.

I don't know what to make of that Wonderland show. It certainly has my interest, but I wonder what they plan on doing on that show. Once Upon a Time doesn't strike me as a show that needs a spin off, but I'll definitely be checking it out.
The best news is definitely the Nikita renewal though. I absolutely love that show. It's probably the best network TV show focusing on a female lead since Buffy.

I agree that Espenson probably won't have time to write for anything other then the Onceverse. She's filming Husbands S3 for the CW digital right now, per her tweets this week.
In fact, some Once fans are kind of worried that she'll be too focused on Wonderland to write for say Belle and Rumple, though I have yet to see confirmation on the exact nature of her role with the spinoff. She is most definitely part of the team, here's the IMDB for it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2802008/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm#cast.
So I'm doubtful she could even begin to have time to write a S.H.I.E.L.D blurb, let alone and ep. I wonder if the same applies to Andrew Chambliss.
It's great how "in demand" former Whedonverse writers are.
Now, if S.H.I.E.L.D could just steal Ben Edlund for a few eps from Supernatural, that would rock!

Oh what I would give for Once Upon a Time in Quortoth though.

Yeah, you should get caught up on Nikita if you get a chance. It's a great show with great pacing, great writing, a great cast, and some of the best action sequences on TV today. I love spreading the word about this show because its ratings are abysmal, as is the norm with most good TV shows. Quality = bad ratings. As Whedon fans, we've learned this time and time again. It actually only got renewed for six episodes, so it'd help if more people tuned it. I love the CW. They seem to give shows much more of a chance than Fox, who is very quick to cancel things if they don't get amazing numbers. I hear people make fun of the CW, but they have some decent content with Nikita, Arrow and Supernatural.
One of the things I enjoy so much is that Nikita doesn't spin its wheels. The show has a constant sense of forward momentum. In fact, I can't think of a single episode of the show that I would describe as a "filler" episode. The show also loves to just turn things on its head sometimes, changing the game entirely.
