Here we go – seven episodes, no more breaks. Three weeks ago, we watched as the team joined Sif who was on the trail of the Asgardian siren, Lorelei. This was a good crossover with Thor: The Dark World (possibly better than the actual crossover… Read More »Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode 16 – End Of The Beginning
Last week, the team went on mission to find a way to save Skye’s life. Led by Coulson and Ward’s former S.O., John Garrett, they find the Guest House, where Coulson was during his questionable resurrection process.
They find a substance called GH-325 that was used on Coulson that allowed his cells to begin regenerating. As the team rushes back to give it to Skye, our favorite S.H.I.E.L.D. agent delves deeper into the Guest House and discovers a room labeled T.A.H.I.T.I. (because, apparently, someone really wanted their initials to spell “Tahiti”). In the room, Coulson finds a large container labeled “GH” that contains the top half of a human-like form where the GH formulas are being pumped from.
Speculation is all over the internet as to what that thing was, my favorite theory is that it is a Kree, an alien race that could open up a world of storytelling possibilities including a tie in to Guardians of the Galaxy.
Coulson tries to stop his team from injecting Skye with the mystery liquid but doesn’t make it in time. After a momentary seizure, Skye seems to have stabilized and is a little farther away from the edge of danger.Read More »Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Preview – episode 15: Yes Men
We’ve got two more weeks before we get new episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. so I thought we could take a step back and see how the show is fairing. The first half of the season, while enjoyable, has progressed very slowly. That said, we… Read More »Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – How Would You Bring Back Viewers?
Previously on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC:
We were reunited with the team just a few days after Coulson’s capture as they were in pursuit of a guy named Vanchat, who they hoped could help find their leader. After returning to the bus with Vanchat, Agent Hand promptly kicked Skye off and Skye promptly followed her own leads to search for Coulson.
I really liked Skye’s story in this episode. She proved her intelligence and her use to the team. And I definitely got a good chuckle from her impersonation of May. She brought some much needed levity to an otherwise dark episode.
Meanwhile, the mystery surrounding Coulson’s death is unraveling. What I really wanted to know was whether or not this Coulson is the same one that we’d gotten to know in the movies. The episode didn’t answer all of the questions about his resurrection, but it did answer that one.
This isn’t a clone and this isn’t a Life Model Decoy. This is Agent Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. who underwent multiple procedures that were both very risky and very shady.
My next question is the same as Agent Hand’s — Why is Coulson worth all the trouble to bring him back to life? Does Fury just like him that much or is there something deeper?
The last revelation of the episode is that Mike has survived the explosion but our unknown antagonist has replaced one of his eyes with the eye camera/bomb that we’ve seen already.
That’s a lot to build on and I look forward to seeing what happens.
When we left the team before the hiatus Coulson had been captured and we don’t know what happened to Mike in the explosion. The official synopsis is: “’The Magical Place’ will have Coulson uncovering some very important details surrounding the mystery of his death. Centipede… Read More »Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode 11 preview – The Magical Place
It’s been two weeks so let’s do a quick recap: When we last left our heroes, Skye had basically destroyed all of the trust that she’d gained from her teammates. We also found out that she wants to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. Because she wants to find… Read More »Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode six preview – FZZT
Thor: The Dark World opened overseas this weekend to $45.3 million. That’s a good sign. Marvel announced that there will be a special 5 minute preview of Captain America: Winter Soldier for the 3-D showings of The Dark World. I realize that this is a… Read More »Marvel News Roundup
