The Review at the End of the Universe
“Lockup” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD lets us see the pay-off of Daisy and Robbie agreeing to work with S.H.I.E.L.D. to get the Darkhold. It’s another one of those race against time sort of missions and this show does it so well. On one hand it’s good to see this show continue to play to its…
“Let Me Stand Next To Your Fire” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD takes the first steps towards bringing Daisy back into the fold as everything starts to converge. Four episodes is a good amount of time for Daisy to be out on her own and punishing herself for her mistakes. It does get to a point…
“Uprising” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD makes the most of a standard blackout plot by focusing on how the characters react to the various challenges in front of them. A blackout is a fairly common trope in shows like this but the episode makes up for it by ramping up the tension and pacing by providing…
“Meet the New Boss” The new director makes his debut in Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD as Daisy continues to investigate the mysterious Robbie Reyes. I had avoided information about the new director up until seeing this episode. All I really knew was that someone had been cast but I chose not to look into who…
“The Ghost” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD begins its fourth season and introduces audiences to the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Ghost Rider. There’s a slight twist on that introduction as it isn’t the Johnny Blaze version brought to life by Nicolas Cage in 2007 and later 2011. I hesitate to say that Johnny Blaze is…
“Ascension” Season 3 of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD closes off with the promise of a death fulfilled and Hive’s story apparently fully resolved. First off I’ll talk about the resolution of the cliffhanger. I wasn’t sure in the previous review whether Daisy begging for Hive to take her back was genuine or not but I…
“Absolution” The penultimate episode of the third season of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD sees the team take the fight to Hive as his plan to unleash his new virus on the world accelerates. ABC chose to air both of these episodes on the same night but they aren’t edited together as they were last season…
“Emancipation” Captain America: Civil War infects Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD with the mandatory annual tie in that reminds us that the show is part of this shared universe. I don’t mean this in a negative sense because I actually thought that this was the best tie in that they’ve done on this show so far….
“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…
