It’s definitely time to call in the cavalry. I can’t tell you how tickled I am to have Ming-Na Wen back on my screen. I’ve been a fan since “The Joy Luck Club.” And then there was “ER.” And she even played gay on “SGU Stargate Universe,” which I didn’t watch but appreciate the gesture. (Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about her voicing “Mulan,” how could I?) But it’s been a bit since she has had a regular starring gig. So I was, of course, happy to see her tapped for “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” But not as happy as I was to see her on “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” in all that leather. Hello.
Now, I can’t say I adore the show just yet. It’s clearly in a growing phase and working on finding its Whedonesque witty-to-action ratio. Honestly, one of my biggest problems with the series right now is the cast. I just am not clicking with most of them. They’re a little blah, and if there’s one thing Whedon characters never are, it’s a little blah. Really none of them have the banter down yet. But that’s where Ming-Na comes in. With limited screentime and even more limited dialog she still manages to make a major impression. She kicks ass effortlessly, but also brings a welcome wryness. Plus, gotta represent for my Asian-American sisters. Her Agent Melina May is most certainly my favorite, and after this week it seems we’re finally going to get to see more of her in all of her glory. By the hammer of Thor, am I ready. Bring it on, lady. Happy weekend, all.
p.s. Come on, those aviators. Damn, girl.
