The Review at the End of the Universe
“Failed Experiments” Coulson tries to take the fight to Hive in order to end that threat once and for all as Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD begins the home stretch towards the final episode of the season. I get the feeling that the writers realised with this episode that there are only a handful left before the…
“The Singularity” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD sees the team lick their wounds after Daisy’s attack on the base and try to figure out their next move. The team have had to endure some severe losses over the past few episodes. Bobbi and Hunter leaving lost them some significant skills so Daisy being under Hive’s control…
“The Team” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD brings the Secret Warriors together to mount a rescue mission while Hive’s influence creates a lot of mistrust. There wasn’t anything about the early part of the episode I didn’t like. Daisy signaling Joey and Elena while they were in the middle of their day to day lives was…
“Paradise Lost” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD explores Gideon Malick’s past and the effect it has on his present as Hive proves to be not what he hoped.

It was announced a while ago that Marvel and ABC were developing a spinoff for this show called Marvel’s Most Wanted that would focus on Bobbi on Hunter on…
“The Inside Man” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD explores the new dynamic between Coulson and Talbot as Hive continues to grow more powerful. The focus of this episode was Coulson and Talbot attending a multinational summit to discuss the appearance of the Inhumans and what that means for the future of the human race. It has been…
Season 2 Episode 11 – “Aftershocks” Can you believe it’s been 3 months since Agents of SHIELD went on a break? Of course much of that time was spent showing Agent Carter and letting that miniseries conclude its run but it’s been a long time since we saw Skye burst from that cocoon back in…
Season 2 Episode 6 – “A Fractured House” Trouble arises in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D when an attack on the United Nations by H.Y.D.R.A is blamed on Coulson and his team.
