Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD “Who We Really Are” Recap

JAIMIE ALEXANDER

This weeks episode did a great job of relieving some of the dark tone that the season has taken while still moving the overall story forward. We start by seeing Lady Sif, the Asgardian Warrior, wash up on shore with no memory. She doesn’t know who she is or why she is on Midgard; conveniently though, she does remember everything that she was taught as a child which will come in handy later. S.H.I.E.L.D. is called in and the team fly down to help. Sif is trying to find someone named “Kava” but when they figure out that the person their looking for is a Kree she realizes that “Kava” is not a person but the Kree word for “key.”

They find the place where Whitehall discovered the Diviner and capture the Kree, whose name is Vin-Tak. Vin-Tak is able to restore Sif’s memories with the same weapon he used to take them and they all have a heated discussion back at S.H.I.E.L.D. Apparently, the Teregensis was created by the Kree for the purpose of creating new soliders to fight in their war. It was largely a failure, except on Earth. Vin-Tak recently saw that one of the Dinviners was activated and has come to destroy it and the person who was changed.

The team assumes that he’s just talking about Raina, but the conversation got Skye worked up enough that she causes another small earthquake, revealing her change to everyone. Sif wants to take her back to Asgard where she will be safe and so will everyone else and Vin-Tak wants to destroy her. May tries to hide Skye and give her an impromptu lesson in controlling her emotions, but Sif finds them and Skye ends up taking May’s Icer and knocking herself out with it. Bobbi fights Vin-Tak and ends up using his memory weapon against him. Skye’s self-sacrifice convinces Sif to leave them alone for now and she takes the Kree back instead.Read More »Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD “Who We Really Are” Recap

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S2-E11 recap: Aftershocks

agents-of-shield-211-3

The back half of this season starts shortly after the front half ended. Skye is in quarantine until they can confirm that she’s OK. Simmons is back down in the temple getting it prepped to be destroyed, Coulson is ready to take out Hydra once and for all and everyone is mourning Tripp’s death in their own way. We then cut to the heads of Hydra who have come together to decide who will replace Whitehall. The original idea was to have Bakshi take over because he was being groomed for the role, but he’s missing (actually he’s in SHIELD custody). They decide that whoever can take down SHIELD will take Whitehall’s place.

Back at SHIELD, cracks are beginning to form in our team as Mack and Coulson butt heads which leads to a team wide argument that reminded me of a similar scene in The Avengers. The only thing missing was Loki’s glow stick of destiny. Eventually, the team calms down and Coulson begins to enact his plan to take down Hydra.

Meanwhile, Raina has escaped from the temple, but not before killing a few agents and being shot at by Simmons. She finds Cal and confronts him about her transformation. She doesn’t like her thorny new look but Cal has little sympathy, especially after discovering that Skye has been transformed as well and gone back to Coulson. He leaves Raina, telling her that he’s thinking about reconnecting with some of his friends that SHIELD has on their index in order to get revenge on Coulson and get his daughter back.

Coulson and his team have agreed to a prisoner exchange, offering Bakshi up to General Talbot and the U.S. Government, but on their way to drop him off, they are attacked. May and Coulson are both shot and a getaway car rides up to take Bakshi away. However, the whole thing is a set up. May and Coulson aren’t dead and the person driving the getaway car is Hunter. Hunter ends up taking Bakshi to the house where the Hydra leaders met. The real plan is then revealed causing all of the heads of Hydra to kill each other leaving no one left in charge. Of course, Hydra will rise again (Baron Von Strucker will show up on May 1, for example) but in one fell swoop, the writers of the show essentially said, “We’re not focusing on Hydra for the rest of the season. Now we’re focusing on the Inhumans.”Read More »Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S2-E11 recap: Aftershocks
