'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season 1 Episode 22 'Beginning of the End' Season Finale Review

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

Top 5 Moments 

5. Fitz and Simmons share a great moment- I thought it was interesting that Fitz was willing to sacrifice himself in order to save Simmons. I'm curious if he has feelings for her but I'm sure it will be answered next season.
4. Coulson blasts Garrett- This was such a Coulson moment, I loved that it seemed that Garrett would become a bigger threat and Coulson just blasted him and said he found the artifact. It was one of my favorite moments of the season for Coulson and it was great to see this personality back on the show.
3. Nick Fury-Nick Fury stole the spotlight as soon as he showed up on screen. He had an epic entrance and helped clear a lot of questions. I was glad that he made Coulson the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D and was relieved when they came to a new base with Patton Oswalt back. I loved the fight scene with Fury and Coulson against Garrett. Hopefully Fury can come back in future episodes.
2. Reina approaches Skye's father- I was very shocked to see that Reina's in cahoots with Skye's father hopefully he will be revealed in Season 2.

1. Coulson writes on the wall-I thought this was very interesting because we saw the Miracle drug is affecting Coulson's mental state but this will be further explored next season.

Overall this was a great season finale but it posed more new questions than it answered.

Top 5 Moments 

5. Garett is injected with the miracle drug- I was glad to see Garrett become more than just the mastermind traitor becoming an actual threat to the team and that he now has superpowers.

4. Fitz and Simmons try to take the Bus-It was great to see Fitz and Simmons in the action when they ignored an order and tried to get the 'Bus' back from Hydra.

3. Garrett is a part of Deathlok- I was surprised to discover Garrett was a part of the Deathlok program early on and is a cyborg that is dying.

2. The team infiltrates Cybertek- This was a great sequence where Coulson and May each posed as Fitz and Simmons respectively in order to infiltrate Cybertek, I also liked that they threw the filing cabinet out of the window.

1. Ward shows mercy-My favorite part of the episode is when Ward saved Fitz and Simmons by releasing them from the plane and in the flashback let the dog live. It reveals that he still has a heart and cares about more than just Skye.

'Agents of S.H.I.E.LD.' Season 1 Episode 17 'Turn,Turn,Turn' Review

This is by far the best episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  so far and integrated into the cinematic universe much better than any episode so far.

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

If you still haven't seen 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' I suggest you see it it's the best Marvel movie I have ever seen. Well anyways the reveal that the Clairvoyant was Agent Garrett was a total shock to me and in this episode it was also revealed the Clairvoyant was just a S.H.I.E.LD. agent with high security clearance and explains some of their run ins with Garrett earlier this season.  I was also surprised that he was a part of Hydra and knew who the other Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.LD were like Agent Sitwell. Another shock was that Agent Ward is a part of Hydra as well. It was great to see Coulson's reaction to this news and I enjoyed the references to Captain America The Winter Soldier. Overall a great episode which achieved what fans have been dying for since the beginning.  The promo for the episode below is an episode that has already aired by the time this review was published.
