The Review at the End of the Universe
“Among Us Hide…” After a short departure from the norm last week with Simmons on an alien planet, Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD returns to planet Earth and developing the other plots. Simmons problem hasn’t been completely pushed aside as it gets some lip service here when Fitz reminds her that he is working on the…
“4,722 Hours” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD veers far away from their established film and delivers the best episode of the series to date as Simmons recounts to Fitz what she went through when stranded on an alien planet. First thing I’ll say is that I haven’t abandoned my theory about Simmons winding up in the…
“Devils You Know” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD escalates two of the major stories as Lash strikes again and Hunter gets to confront Ward. This episode shows both the strongest and weakest aspects of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD with Hunter’s revenge mission against Ward being the perfect example of that. His story gets to a point that…
“A Wanted (Inhu)Man” Lincoln returns to Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD on the run from the government agency established in the first episode while Daisy makes it her personal mission to get to him before they do. Having Lincoln’s situation be the main plot of the episode was a massive misstep as it was nothing but…
“Purpose in the Machine” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD continues season 3 with a story almost entirely focussed on the Monolith and the potential it has to bring Simmons back from wherever she is. Fitz is the star of the show here with some deeply emotional stuff that he has to deal with. He is so…
“Laws of Nature” Agents of SHIELD returns for a third season and furthers the exploration of the super powered individuals known as Inhumans that were introduced last year. Season 2 ended with Terrigenesis crystals finding their way into the ocean and being an ingredient in fish oil of all things. I could see what they…
Simon Pummell’s Brand New U explores a sci fi world where people have the opportunity to start afresh in a new life while leaving the old one behind. The film starts with Slater (Lachlan Nieboer) having a romantic evening with his girlfriend Nadia (Nora-Jane Noone) before people break in and snatch Nadia in the dead of night….
“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…
