After an eight week break and a frequently fun “Agent Carter” mini-series, the big question of the night was could “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” come roaring back in its spring premiere to get us excited once again about Marvel’s TV band of secret agents? Short answer? Mostly yes. As the title implies, this episode was more […]
Through most of its first season’s underwhelming first half, the writers had this unhealthy fascination with Skye, the lone non-SHIELD agent of the main cast. With a grating 90s hacker-girl persona and flippant attitude, the focus on Skye was annoying, especially considering the more interesting Agent Coulson and Agent May were stuck all too often […]
This one will be quick this week. After the fun that was ‘Flash vs. Arrow’ tonight, I wasn’t expecting much by way of competition from AOS, which set up a number of significant events in advance of next week’s winter finale. Here’s the highlights: Dreamy days: Skye dreams she raided Raina’s closet wearing a flower […]
Tuesday has clearly become the best night of TV for comic book fans with both ‘The Flash’ rolling and ‘Agents of SHIELD’ continuing to shine now that it has a solid direction.

Tonight, SHIELD undergoes an Identity Crisis and finally wraps a nice tidy bow on one of the few uninteresting subplots of the season in a very satisfying episode.

This week’s episode almost seems anti-climactic given the big slate of Avengers news announced earlier (Black Panther! Civil War! Infinity War!), but we’ve got an episode to watch if for no other reason than for that bonus footage of ‘The Avengers: Age of Ultron’ trailer, which no doubt will be saved for the absolute final […]
Tuesday’s episode almost felt good in spite of itself, but hinted at some troubling developments for the rest of the season.
Ever since the series redefining moment midway through the first season of ‘Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD,’ the show has been on a far more focused, intense and serious path. With all the goodwill the show earned after the mid-season shocker, the series had still struggled to find that ideal mix of action and humor that […]
Last week kicked off what looks to be a very exciting second season for ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ and this week’s outing continues firmly hitting the new status quo as a team version James Bond/comic book hybrid.
Well that was definitely a way to kick off a new season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and if the rest of Season 2 is anywhere near as good as the premiere episode, Arrow may have some tight competition for best comic book based TV show this year. For viewers who stopped watching early on during […]
