Agents of SHIELD- Shadows (S2E1) [SPOILERS]

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITZ!!

Eh-hem. Excuse me, had to let that one out.



So Agent of SHIELD returns, leaner and through necessity, meaner than season one. HYDRA has taken a severe toll on our hero's, and the world they live in. Whilst they have been scattered, through the efforts of Captain America and SHIELD loyalists, they are also everywhere. Mostly within striking distance of the few allies Coulson has made since The Fall.

Now, I struggled watching this episode. Mainly due to the fact that some other people in the room decided that eating a packet of crisps, and asking questions I couldn't answer OVER THE EPISODE (instead of, say, during an ad break), meant that I couldn't hear some fairly crucial lines. I'll have to watch it again sometime.

But, I'm a rogue reviewer. And I will review something even if I've missed a shed-load.


  • I LOVED the introduction with Agent Carter and the Howling Commandos. It craftily sets the Agent Carter series, and how it could crossover with Agents.
  • I also liked the introduction of new SHIELD agents and merc. Lance Hunter. Of course there are fewer agents at the end of the episode. But c'est la vie. 
  • Oooooooh Fitz. This storyline was more than a little heartbreaking. And, just like The Sixth Sense I didn't see the end coming. 
  • Talbot is destined to feel my wrath. He just never seems to want to listen. And I don't see him learning from his obvious mistakes.
  • Yay! More mutants/aliens/super-powered beings! Well, one in this episode, but I expect more will be on their way.
So yeah. Looking forward to seeing where this series will take us. Especially with Age of Ultron looming on the horizon..
