Hey Guys,
sorry that i am so late with my talk about the new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode. I watched it yesterday but i just didn’t found the time to write about it. The episode was good, but i think it could have been alot better. And i am not talking about letting Ward play in that episode. But you will see what i mean. Just let’s start with the episode.
the perfect duo
Hunter and Coulson are really nice together. I like them and this episode reminded me why i love Coulson so much and why i started to watch the serie. Because he is such a good character and it is nice to see that this is still in him. As Director we didn’t see so much lately from this side. But also it reminded me, why i dislike him right now so much. We have Gonzales which came and that, they are the real S.H.I.E.L.D. They didn’t try to talk are anything else. No they were going in and when Mac wouldn’t be there Fitz could be dead or badly hurt. But nobody cares about it. We see him full of hate and fear. Because this is the only thing he see in him – but later more to that. Coulson is seeing things from his view and is so understanding and than he is getting help from one of the only people he can trust right now – Mike Peterson. How often do they want to trust him? How many chance will he get? The first time he was going crazy… and i understand it and i am totally for giving him a new chance. They second time he betrayed them, he did it safe his son. Yes, i get it and i would totally do the same in his position… but this good person Coulson is also seeing it that way and gives him another chance… but who don’t get that Ward… Ward is just a bad option. I don’t want to say more to this… because i am pretty sure, i have a lot to say about it after the next episode. Just think about what would you do to save your father…
Into the Skye?
Skye is in place, nobody know where it is. I love Skye in that episode and hate her. This episode is showing us what we most love about them and hate about them. Skye is questioning everthing and don’t really believe in that everything is so good thing. For me it looks alot like a prison and also the things Gordon say don’t imply that Skye can do what she wants… but the gave her a sweet little Inhuman to her side. I like Lincoln. He is really sweet and he and Skye have a really nice chemistry. But i don’t trust him. He seems like a nice guy…
The darkside of Skye is shining through when she finds Raina. She is full of hate and that is something i really dislike. It is not that i don’t understand her. She needs to blame Raina because if she don’t she would blame herself. But Skye was full of light and of course she has a dark side everyone has them. But that she is losing her ability to believe in the best is really sad.
And it seems like her mother is still a life and she is not really sympatic. What she tells Skye is logic and right but the way she talks and looks and after that talks with Skyes father. Seems like i can’t trust her words.
The team is back
It is not really a surprise that Fitz chooses to leave S.H.I.E.L.D. and not help them. This was never a question. Here is the thing where this could be better. Why don’t they bring Weaver in? Jemma looked up to her and always trusted her. Right now she has a simular opinion like Weaver – this had so much potential. Fitz choose to leave and Jemma seems just to be on her own again. She wants Bobbi and the other out of her hair and offers a solution for their problems.
Here we get an Mac Fitz scene and i love it. Mac is trying to talk him to stay and i believe him, when he says that he wants him there and is his friend. I believe Fitz knows that. But with will never choose aside against Skye and Coulson. He saw what hard opinion Mac had on this alientec and we saw how Fitz don’t agree with him or Jemma on that matter. He will never be part of something like that.
Jemma on the other hand lost her way. She kinda hates these powers and it is hard for her, that Skye has that. But she tries, like she did with Fitz in the wrong way. In the first season it was Fitz, who was afraid of change but in the end she can’t live with the changes and deep down she knows it.
She is trying to hold the Fitz with her and now she tries to hold the old Skye – fix her.
But when the ‘real s.h.i.e.l.d.’ came. We saw some of the old Fitzsimmons back again and that isn’t surprising. It is like they always handled things. Jemma fooled me for a moment, but she is deciding for Coulson and Fitz side. That doesn’t mean that she hasn’t the same opinion like Weaver or thinks that s.h.i.e.l.d. might be right. It just means that in a crisis she and Fitz are a team.
do we need to talk about May
That is not a bad thing because. Really i don’t believe for a moment that she will betray Coulson. Everything she did was for him and she will not stop with that. So he can talk like he want, for me it was like yea…let him talk… don’t care. Not totally true. He says a lot of good things. Like this is not about a person this is about S.H.I.E.L.D. and he is right. But it is also for what S.H.I.E.L.D. stands. Nick did a lot of mistakes and he is for many things at fault, but the reason he choose Coulson for the job as Director was that he still knows what S.H.I.E.L.D meant. It is like Ward told as in the first episode. Someone really wanted to spell S.H.I.E.L.D. because the message should be clear: Protection. Coulson did a lot of mistake (in my eyes) after he became Director but he take Hunter in the team because he is not following blindly orders. He tries to help, protect. Gonzales and the other and is nothing else than another Fury. He want to protect his own people. He don’t care about any other thing (okay maybe this is a bit harsh). He is twisting the truth like he wanted it. This just shows me that i was right. This guy, who shoot at Skye, he wasn’t one guy – it was S.H.I.E.L.D. order.
The only one that really seems starting to see that is Bobbi. Maybe it is just because she like Skye. But she is still on Skyes side and wants to protect her. She doesn’t like how they treat the others. For her they are also S.H.I.E.L.D.
Mac on the other hand seems really blind to that…or have a more drastic opinion about aliens than i thought… and i hope it is not the last thing because that will make Fitz and him enemies.
