“All Roads Lead…” is a rather aptly titled episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., because as the finale draws closer so does the apparent inevitability of the Destroyer of Worlds prophecy. And the most interesting part of all is that once more the worst actions are taken by those who are simply protecting the ones they love. […]
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., would you? Nevertheless, “The Honeymoon” is in many ways about love and how far each of these characters would go for it. And when Earth is on the brink of the Apocalypse, what is left to fight for but love? Ludus First up is the puppy love we’ve long suspected Deke (Jeff […]
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spent the first half of the season showcasing the results of the actions that are currently being taken in the present, and “Inside Voices” is both frustrating and brilliant in its depiction of how the future can warp the past without even trying to. Many previously soft characters like Jemma (Elizabeth Henstridge) and […]
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. opens on General Hale’s (guest star Catherine Dent) capture of Coulson (Clark Gregg). But we don’t stay there long, because “Rise and Shine” needs to share a lot of backstory with us in order to explain why Hale thinks it’s time for S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra to unite. What’s Past A young Hale (skillfully […]
“Principia” has a lot of moving parts that it needs to get in place before the second half of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s fifth season can truly begin, which explains why the episode starts in yet another unfamiliar environment and spends a large part of the hour chasing a Gravitonium McGuffin. Nevertheless, some interesting discoveries made and […]
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. took a step back from the overarching plot of season in its 100th episode to reflect on how far its characters have come and how much further they have yet to go – we just hope they’ll all be around for it. “The Real Deal” was filled to the brim with emotions, most […]
Previously on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Coulson (Clark Gregg) iced Daisy (Chloe Bennet) to get her off the Lighthouse, Elena (Natalia Cordova-Buckley) learned that Coulson was dying from her future undead self, and the team made it back to Earth just in time to either avoid or cause the destruction they’ve spent the last several episodes witnessing. “All the […]
“Past Life” commits to the time loop that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been playing with all season, and this one one of our main characters confronts their own future self before everyone gets out of Dodge. In a killer midseason finale, all the pieces needed to return to Earth are finally put in place – but […]
‘Best Laid Plans’ lives up to its title as the seeds that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been planting all season start to bear fruit, both in terms of getting the team back to the present and saving what’s left of humanity from the Kree. Both story lines this week have shining stars, but the heart of […]
Previously on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the crew reunited except for May (Ming-Na Wen), who came face to face with an older version of the young seer named Robin while stranded on the surface. And while ‘The Last Day’ was quite confusing from a narrative perspective, it was also rich in the heart and soul with […]
