Agents of SHIELD: Orientation Part 1

Last season of Agents of SHIELD ended with the team expecting to be arrested after they did what they needed to do to resolve the crises from last time around, wrapping up the issues of the Framework, Aida, and Ghost Rider. The last we saw of them was the agents going to a diner to enjoy a last meal in freedom before the proverbial hammer came down on them.

Inhumans: Havoc In The Hidden Land

The Inhumans are almost done with their first, and most likely only, season. The penultimate episode is “Havoc in the Hidden Land,” although a fair amount of the havoc happens in Hawaii, not Attilan. At least they resolve one of the things that’s been bothering me since the first episode.

Inhumans: The Gentleman’s Name is Gorgon

The Inhumans meander along through their season with, “The Gentleman’s Name is Gorgon.” I hate to say it, but I haven’t been really impressed with their show, as much as I like the comic book versions of the characters. And, of the weak season, this might be my least favorite episode so far.

Thor: Ragnarok movie review

The Marvel Cinematic Universe delivers its next installment with Thor: Ragnarok. In addition to being a great new adventure, it covers where Thor and Hulk were during Captain America: Civil War. We get a new kick-ass heroine to root for, and a few lingering plot lines dealt with.

Inhumans: Divide… And Conquer

They’re doing some very odd titles for the episodes of The Inhumans. My best guest is they are trying to emulate the dramatic style of a lot of the issue titles/cover hype from back in the 60’s, when The Inhumans first appeared. This week’s episode is entitled, “Divide… And Conquer.” It doesn’t make a lot…

Defenders: The Defenders

The Defenders wrap up their first season with a lot of things going on. There’s no announcement as yet about a second season, but it was months before they confirmed season two of Iron Fist, so that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. The basis for some friendships are formed, among both the heroes and at least some of the supporting cast. And at least one character takes a major step towards their comic book incarnation.
