The Review at the End of the Universe
“S.O.S. Parts 1 & 2” Another season of Agents of SHIELD ends and the overall Marvel Cinematic Universe takes a break from being on screens for a little while before Ant-Man comes out in July. Season 2 ends with a feature length finale entirely focused on the War between the Inhumans and S.H.I.E.L.D. declared under…
“Scars” Agents of SHIELD has one more week to go on the second season with a double episode next week and has all of the pieces in place for an intriguing conclusion. First of all I’ll address the second part of the tie in to Avengers: Age of Ultron that comes in this episode. Spoiler…
“The Dirty Half Dozen” The six original Agents of SHIELD cast members work together on a mission to rescue Deathlok and Lincoln as well as take down a branch of H.Y.D.R.A. in the process. Having the original cast members back together for an episode was really cool and helped to highlight how far the dynamics…
“The Frenemy of My Enemy” The dynamics in Agents of SHIELD continue to shift as Coulson has no choice but to team up with Ward as Skye gets used to the idea of Cal being her father. It’s definitely been a season of growth for this show and each episode continues to build on what…
“Melinda” Agents of SHIELD finally details the events that lead to May becoming known as “The Cavalry” as Skye finally learns about her family. Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD is unmistakably a step up from the mediocrity that was the first season and episodes like this are a big part of the reason why….
Season 2 Episode 16 – “Afterlife” Agents of SHIELD went through a lot of changes last week and this episode represents the bedding in period of everything new that has happened. Last week’s episode ended with Coulson on the run from Gonzales’ S.H.I.E.L.D. and teaming up with Hunter before making his next move. This episode…
Season 2 Episode 15 – “One Door Closes” Could this be the strongest episode of Agents of SHIELD yet? It certainly had all the ingredients to end up that way. Most of the big story threads were built on from the “real” S.H.I.E.L.D. to Skye’s powers and the general Inhuman background information. Ever since it…
Season 2 Episode 14 – “Love in the Time of HYDRA” Ward finally returns to Agents of SHIELD and for once he’s not trying to give Coulson and the others a hard time. He has been conspicuously absent since he convinced Agent 33 to join him in whatever it is he has planned but the break…
Season 2 Episode 13 – “One of Us” Cal assembles a team of super villains to take down the Agents of SHIELD while Skye gets evaluated by none other than May’s ex husband Dr. Andrew Garner (Blair Underwood). The strongest aspect of the episode was definitely the evaluation scenes as it let Skye develop a…
Season 2 Episode 12 – “Who You Really Are” Lady Sif (Jamie Alexander) returns to Agents of SHIELD with a bout of amnesia as she hunts down a mysterious assailant. Amnesia is always a really dodgy subject given how profoundly overused it is in these sorts of shows and this was really no exception as…
