This week’s episode is by far the busiest and the darkest episode to date. There were five storylines to follow, which may have been too much, with each one crossing paths with the others throughout. Coulson, Skye, Tripp and Fitz begin their search for the… Read More »Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. recap: S2E8 The Things We Bury
I hope you weren’t just getting into ABC’s sit-com Selfie? It has been canceled.

Last night’s episode was less focused on action (though Bobbi Morse did a great impression of Natasha Rominav) and more focused on setting the stage for what’s to come.
Hydra is attempting to weaponize the obelisk’s power but without the obelisk itself they are limited to using a sample from one of its victims, and coming up unsuccessful.
