'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season 2 Episode 10 ' What They Become' Mid-Season Finale Review

Non Spoiler Review- Definitely the best episode of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' so far! This episode finally proves all that 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' has to offer the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and has some really cool character moments as well as answering all the unanswered questions about Skye and her father, etc. 

*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******

Highlights of the episode

 

1. Skye is Quake- When Skye tells her father to leave he tells her that he will always love her no matter what the obelisk does to her and reveals that her name is Daisy. In Marvel comics Daisy Ridley is Quake, a superpowered S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, which is what she has now become after exposure to  the terrigen crystals. She will now have seismic powers just like Quake and also like Quake her father is Mister Hyde. As she bursts out of the cocoon we get a little look at her seismic abilities as everything around her begins shaking. 

2. What will Reina become?- Reina was also exposed to the terrier mists but it looks like she will have more of a physical change than Skye as you can see above. I wonder what here abilities will be and if she will also be a Marvel comic character.

 

3. They guy with no eyes- At the end of an episode a character with no eyes is seen with another Obelisk. I did some research and it seems that he will be the Marvel character Reader who has only appeared briefly in the comics. I'm interested in learning more about his character and who he is.

4. Connection to comics/ Inhumans- So we now know that 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' will introduce the terrigen mists as well as some Inhuman characters to the Marvel Cinematic Universe prior to the 'Inhumans' movie coming in 2018.  I'm very excited because finally the TV shows are impacting the rest of the universe instead of vice-versa which we have seen so far.

5. Agent Triplett dies- I was very sad to see that Agent Triplett was killed by the terrigen mists because I really liked that character and thought that he really added to the team dynamic. 

6. An awkward family reunion- The whole season has been building towards Skye meeting her father and I was happy to see that actually happen and by the end of the episode Skye learns what actually happened to her mother, etc. I hope she will be reunited with her father in the second half of the season because I like the interaction between the two.

7. Whitehall is killed- I thought it was interesting how Skye's father already disliked Coulson because he believed that Coulson took Skye away from I'm. Then when Coulson killed Whitehall he stole Skye's father's chance at revenge.

8. Skye's father is Mister Hyde- Since Skye's father has super strength and is Daisy's father just like Mister Hyde from the comics it's speculated that they are the same character and I hope they are.

8. Ward is shot- I was very shocked when Skye shot Ward twice and left him. I wonder how it will affect his feelings towards her and I was also intrigued that Agent 33 came to Ward when Whitehall died because she didn't know who else to turn towards. It looks like she is looking towards him as a mentor now.

 10. What does Bobbi have on that flashdrive?- Bobbi Morse is seen carrying around a flash drive and I'm very curious what is on the drive and whether that will be explored in the second half of the season.

'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season 2 Episode 9 'Ye Who Enter Here' Review

Non Spoiler Review- Another great episode of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' that sets up the groundwork for the midseason finale of the show. 

*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******

Highlights of the episode

 

1. Ward takes Skye and Reina- When the Bus came under attack from Hydra I did not expect Grant Ward to come on board. I thought it was interesting that he asked for Skye even though he was only supposed to retrieve Reina. 

 2. Koenig Brothers- I liked to see more than one Koenig on screen at a time and loved the humor they added to the episode especially when they said the other brother is the shorter one. I hope for more Koenig Brother scenes throughout the season and am curious how many Koenig's there are.

 3. Mack is changed- It was very strange that when Mack entered the city as he touched the ground something happened to him and i'm curious to learn what that was and what made him attack his fellow agents. I'm also curious if he survived that fall.

4. Bobbi is hiding something- I noticed that Bobbi and Mack were talking about something that Hunter couldn't know about I wonder what that was and if it will be further explored in a future episode. 

5. Fitz and Simmons speak to one another- it was nice to see Fitz and Simmons sort of work things out and speak to each other but it was sad to hear Fitz say he may not stay with the team.

'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season 2 Episode 8 'In Things We Bury' Review

Non Spoiler Review- Another strong episode of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' that answers some of the questions introduced in the beginning of the season, adds depth to a few characters, and heightens the tension of the show. I can't wait to see the next episode!

*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******

Highlights of the episode

1. We learn how Dr. Whitehall survived- We now know that Whitehall used Skye's mother's organs to make himself age more slowly. So I think that Skye's father will betray Hydra to get revenge for Skye's mother. It explains the story behind Skye's origin and what happened to her parents, etc. 

2. Grant Ward comes back to Hydra- I thought it was very interesting that Ward turned to Hydra after killing his brother and now will be working alongside Skye's father.

3. Grant Ward kills his brother- I was very surprised that Ward went to the extreme of killing his brother as well as his parents. It is evidence that Grant ward is now insane and probably shouldn't be trusted.

4. Trip almost dies- It was crazy to see Trip shot and then Skye's father helps him but also plans his escape and we now know that Skye's name is not Skye but I wonder what it actually is as well as Skye's father's name.

5. Peggy returns in a flashback- It was nice to have another Peggy flash back and I hope there are more and I can't wait for the 'Agent Carter' show because I enjoy her character and feel that she is one of Marvel's strongest female protagonists other than Black widow, and Pepper Potts.
