Late nights with Daisy...

At least you can talk. Who are you?
More tank top Daisy >>>>>>>>>
It's probably the 2nd best thing they could have done
I think the fanbase is loyal enough that they could have also moved it to Fridays

Well this sucks, I won't be able to watch until Wednesday's now. Ohh well. (I usually wait 15-20 minutes and watch it on DVR).

I'm a fan of the new time slot.
Flash -> iZombie -> S.H.I.E.L.D. would be perfect.

Does this mean they are trying to get closer to the Netflix Marvel shows in terms of tone and themes? If so then that can only be a good thing.
Well that's assuming the CW keeps its current schedule.
The Flash won't move, but I can see iZombie moving since it is a decent enough performer to pair it with another show and use The Flash to help an ailing show or launch a new one.
No
Network TV still has some restrictions just more lax at 10 than 8
And it's mostly PR speak to justify the move to 10pm. Because saying it wasn't working as an anchor show doesn't really bode well.

SHIELD is in the wrong place. A genre show on a network surrounded by procedural after procedual and comedies? It was never going to grow it's audience on traditional TV. I'd love to see the move to Netflix, and then integrate it with the DD/JJ/Punisher crowd. That way the TV side of the MCU can really tell the movie side to kiss its ass.
Meh, I wouldn't want shows like Daredevil and Jessica Jones being bogged down by having to take Shield into account. It would probably improve the quality of Shield as a show, but I'm scared of the effect it would have on DD/JJ. None of the Netflix shows would be improved by Fitzsimmons being able to turn up, or implementing stuff like the Inhumans into their storylines.
Referencing the biker gang from Shield in Daredevil, or mentioning that one bad guy from Shield on that boxing poster is about as far as you can take it, I think.

Dungey also reconfirmed that despite Most Wanted not getting a series order, the network still has other Marvel projects in development. Though who knows if they'll even get pilot orders.
Any word on their Damage Control show?

That's about as specific as she apparently got, sorry. Personally, I suspect Powerless means we won't be seeing it anytime soon.

It doesn't have to be that, though. Daredevil could have a threat assessment episode where agents manage to corner him, he'd fight back for our viewing pleasure (maybe a baton showdown with Mockingbird, or Daisy messing up his senses with her blasts) and then escapes as Coulson wisely agrees that he's doing good work. Besides, they're here to manage enhanced people, not to deal with the Mafia.
Jessica Jones would have had an encounter with some agents after her public call for witnesses, agents more interested in her own powers than the mythical Killgrave. She'd tell them to f* off in a typical JJ way, and would go her merry way.
As for Agents of Shield, these two would never come to the base, but could cooperate to some extent when a mission brings the agents in Hell's kitchen.

Odds are it's toast once it meets the syndication minimum. Dungey has already proven herself to be less generous to struggling shows than her predecessor was.
...and I know I'm repeating myself, but I still can't believe Most Wanted even made it to the pilot stage. A direct spinoff of a struggling show, one that had literally no chance of drawing anyone who wasn't still watching the parent series. With genius decisions like that, no wonder Disney ousted Paul Lee.

SHIELD at 10? Camera is going to linger an extra second or two when someone burns alive, or they're removing someone's skull.
Damage Control got a put pilot order, meaning they're obligated to produce and air the pilot at the very least.
About Bobbi, now that Barbara Morse has been outed as a spy and can no longer work for a federal agency as such, could she instead put on a mask and protect her secret identity with an alias, to continue working with Shield? Eh? Especially now that Most wanted won't happen.

Each time it gets renewed I'm happily surprised, so yeah, I'd say you're right on the money.

Also: if next season doesn't shift away from Inhumans as the primary focus of the show, I'm probably done.
Well crap, Moving it to 10pm means I can't just watch Flash and Shield straight back to back. Since I'm not the only one who wants the tv this makes it a total pain in the butt since I'd have to leave the living room for an hour only to come back which is just more trouble then it's worth especially when my parents have a show at 10 they already watch
I don't know that the decisions made necessarily reflect hers entirely. She's incredibly well liked but she directly has to report to Ben Sherwood, who is a total bean counter.

They made a put pilot "commitment," which means they have to pay a penalty if they don't produce and air a pilot.
However, a quick Google search turns up a number of other put pilots from last fall that didn't get actual pilot orders and weren't in contention for this fall. I can only assume that said penalty is much less than the cost of actually producing a pilot, and that networks these days see it as a cheap way to lock down shows that they're merely considering for pilot orders.

Fair, but whether it's Dungey herself or more Sherwood, the point still stands. Lee seemed to give a blank check to everything ABC Studios produced, and that era is clearly over.

Now, I don't actually know how much of this actually works in real life, but all indications point to it working like that.
EDIT:
Fair enough.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
The Hive/Ward/Hydra thing does seem like the logical endpoint for this particular Inhuman-heavy arc, but I imagine they are going to be a pretty important part of the show. I mean, it gives them an easy and constant source of new super-people while still being able to be conveniently ignored by the actual film MCU. Even moreso now that the Inhumans movie is at least like 4 years out.

Yeah, those definitions of the term must be pretty outdated, because I've had no trouble Googling several other put pilots "ordered" around the same time that are nowhere to be found on THR's pilot scorecard (The Family Show, Ordinary People, Murder Town) - and that's just for ABC alone.
