Agents of SHIELD comes back for its new season with “Laws of Nature,” and it kicks off with a bang. The Terrigen contamination we saw last season is making itself known, and people are randomly finding their dormant Inhuman gene jumped into action. What quickly becomes apparent is that SHIELD isn’t the only group interested in these newly powered people.
You know those comedies that have scenes with someone walking in on just the wrong part of a conversation, or seeing the very few moments of an otherwise innocent conversation that makes everything look bad? That was “Frenemy of my Enemy” on Agents of SHIELD this week. Only with a lot more serious problems coming out of it.
If nothing else, you have to give Agents of SHIELD credit for putting thought into their titles. They usually work on several levels, and sometimes are just plain entertaining on their own. “Love In the Time of Hydra” qualifies on all counts, and was a good episode.
ABC is filling in some of Agents of SHIELD winter hiatus with a limited series. Agent Carter, the titular character, was a supporting character in Captain America: The First Avenger with a few additional scenes in the Agents of SHIELD show. They reinforce the connection with a few flashback scenes from the movie, as Peggy remembers the last few minutes before Captain America’s crash. They showed the pilot and next episode back to back on the first night, The pilot, not originally, is called “Pilot,” and the next episode was “Bridge and Tunnel.” Oddly, the pilot in some places is also listed as “Now is Not the End.”
