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 […]

TV Recap: Agents of SHIELD, S2,E10: What They Become
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 […]
TV recap: Agents of SHIELD: S2, E9 “Ye Who Enter Here”
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 […]

TV Recap: Agents of SHIELD, S2,E7: “The Writing on the Wall”

The unidentified man from last week Brian Van Holt aka Bobby Cobb (‘Cougar Town’ fans will get that one) picks up an artist and they’re back at […]
TV Recap: Agents of SHIELD – S2,EP4 – A Fractured House
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 […]
TV Recap: Agents of SHIELD – Ep.5 – A Hen in the Wolfhouse
TV Recap: Agents of SHIELD S2, E2 – “Face My Enemy”
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 […]
