The Review at the End of the Universe
“The Other Thing” Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. deals with the capture of Agent May, the aftermath of Keller’s death and the ongoing complications concerning the quest to bring Fitz back. The shorter season means that Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has to move plot forward a lot more quickly than it would in previous seasons. This…
“Code Yellow” Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. reintroduces Deke and starts to add more detail to Team Sarge’s plan while introducing a new threat. Deke has been conspicuously absent up until now -despite Jeff Ward receiving a credit in the other three episodes- which left the question open as to what became of him after he left…
“Fear and Loathing on the Planet of Kitson” Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. focuses on the outer space characters as Fitz tries to win his way to a better life and the crew of the Zephyr continue their search for him. At the moment this is definitely two shows for the price of one. The Earthbound…
“Window of Opportunity” Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. develops the new Earthbound antagonists, continues to work on the new team dynamic and checks in with Fitz in outer space. Parking the search for Fitz plot in the previous episode for one focused on what Fitz is up to at this point is a strong decision as it…
“Missing Pieces” Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns for a sixth season with an intergalactic adventure and a recruitment drive for the team. Last season ended on a profoundly emotional note with the death of one Fitz and the promise of Coulson’s life coming to an end. This season picks up a year later with some of…
Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD recently closed off its fifth season and Kneel Before Pod is ready to cover the second half of the season in the usual detail. The conversation covers interesting direction, strong character arcs, great visual effects, how emotionally invested Craig is and whether having another season is a good idea. Don’t forget…
“The End” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD ends its fifth season by revealing whether it’s possible to change the future and save the planet. This season has focused on a singular story told in two distinct arcs. In the first the characters learn about a really dark future and in the second they try to figure…
“The Force of Gravity” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD prepares for the finale by exploring Talbot’s motivation and letting the team take the fight to the aliens. This is an episode that definitely favours action over plot but that doesn’t make it a bad episode. It’s actually quite the opposite and makes for a confident outing…
“The One Who Will Save Us All” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD explores the extent of Talbot’s recent infusion of powers as the threat to Earth becomes more urgent. Last week saw Talbot become the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Graviton. Before this the show had done a lot of good work establishing how dangerous using…
“Option Two” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD accelerates the incoming threat when aliens place the Lighthouse under siege forcing the team to fight back with limited resources. There are less than a handful of episodes left this season -possibly of the entire series- and there’s still so much ground to cover. The Earth still needs to…
