Agents of SHIELD: The Singularity

Right on the heels of “The Team,” Agents of SHIELD has to wade through the aftermath in “The Singularity.” After Daisy’s shocking defection to Hive’s side, the team has to literally dig themselves out of the ruins she made of the base. On the good side, no one died. On the bad side, Joey and Elena have both left (so much for that team), the hanger is sealed closed, and some of the team have been injured. A little detail like the hangar not quite working right won’t stop a pilot like May from getting the Zephyr in the air.

Agents of SHIELD: The Team

With the majority of the team captured, Daisy makes a decision to try a new approach. She calls in the two Inhumans she’s managed to recruit so far, interrupting Joey on a date and Yo Yo as she studies a language tape. She briefs them as best she can, but there’s a lot of “I don’t know” in the attempt. This isn’t exactly reassuring for anyone.

Agents of SHIELD: Spacetime

Things get a bit weird, even for them, on “Spacetime,” the latest episode of Agents of SHIELD. The opening scene at first seems to be a slice of urban life, with a homeless guy in an alley. A restaurant worker tells him he needs to move along but is actually kind about it. It’s all going ok until the man gives the homeless guy some money which gets weird. The restaurant worker is apparently having visions, and says, “Save me Daisy, help. This is where I die.”

Agents of SHIELD: Watchdogs

The writers on Agents of SHIELD dug deep into the catalog of Marvel characters to find a really obscure group of bad guys for “Watchdogs.” They are an obscure hate group that, in the comics, was part of a long term plan in one of Red Skull’s conflicts with Captain America. They played a large part in the early career of John Walker, who was one of the men to temporarily replace Steve Rogers as Captain America before going on to become US Agent.

Agents of SHIELD: Parting Shot

There’s a big change coming for the Agents of SHIELD in “Parting Shot.” There’s a lot of tense plotting, with cuts back and forth between now and several hours in the past. The number of hours ago each segment takes place gets smaller with each flashback, making a sort of countdown to “How did we get here?”

Agents of SHIELD: The Inside Man

Things get complicated for the Agents of SHIELD in “The Inside Man.” Quite a bit of the show involves the creature that was exiled to Maveth, which is now inhabiting Ward. Malik isn’t sure what to make of what he got, and the creature doesn’t really seem to care what Malik thinks.

Agents of SHIELD: Bounce Back

After a long mid-season break, and the run of season two of Agent Carter, Agents of SHIELD finally returns. After the surprises at the end of the showdown with Hydra, the team has to see if they can “Bounce Back.” They scored some victories, but took some losses, but the Terrigen-mutated Inhumans don’t care as more of them manifest.

Agents of SHIELD #1 review

With the Secret Wars (third one, I think) event over and the Battleworld bit ended, the Marvel titles have all rebooted. Another chance for a number one issue, yay (yes, I’m being sarcastic). Agents of SHIELD continues to try and walk the line between the comic book setting and the continuity from the tv show.

Agents of SHIELD: Maveth

The Agents of SHIELD will get their mid-season break after “Maveth.” This is a very busy episode with a lot going on, some surprises, and a few twists I certainly didn’t see coming. At least one of the characters will quite literally never be the same. That gets said a lot, but it’s true this time out.

Agents of SHIELD: Closure

“Closure” has a few surprises for the Agents of SHIELD. Some are early enough that I’m trying to figure out how to do this without spoilers. There’s enough going on that it could have been the mid-season finale, but that apparently is next week. It’s certainly an action-packed episode.
