TV Review: Agents of Shield: Love in the Time of Hydra(2.14)

                               Agents of Shield: Love in the Time of Hydra(2.14)Review

• I really loved seeing Ward again but I felt like quite a bit of the conversation in the first scene with Kara was there to recap what happened with them while they were offscreen and this makes me even more upset that they were absent for as long as they were.
• I found it kind of adorable how excited Ward was those pumpkin pancakes that he ordered but never got to eat. I also liked that he paid for his food and tipped really well despite never actually getting to eat it.
• I liked how quickly and efficiently Ward and Kara were able to hold up the diner and take the scientist who could fix the mask on Kara's face.
• I find it a bit sad that Fitz and Simmons seem to only be able to communicate with each other about how things have changed in their relationship by arguing about something else entirely such as in this case Skye and her abilities.
• I'm glad that May told Coulson about how she agreed with Andrew's advice that Shield is not a good place for Skye to be. I also liked that when Coulson tried to brush things off and say that May could handle things that she told him that she doesn't think she can and that she doesn't always have the answers.
• I liked how Ward was so nervously worried about Kara as the scientist worked on her face because I just really like seeing him concerned.
• I felt bad for Kara that the scientist wasn't able to find a way to give her own face unless she was willing to reveal her scar which she is clearly not comfortable with doing.
• I liked that when the scientist suggest that the mask could be useful for Shield or Hydra jobs that Ward made a face that indicated that he wasn't part of either of those organization but especially not Hydra.
• I really like real Shield with how they were portrayed as very calm and rational people as well as them being completely right in their assessment of Coulson. I liked that everything that they said was true and I like that finally someone is willing to call out Coulson within the show.
• I liked that even though Lance really didn't like real Shield that even he had to admit that they were pretty right about all of the things that they were saying about Coulson.
• I like that even though Simmons is doing what Coulson ordered her to do that you can tell she's pretty unsure about whether or not she's doing the right thing with trying to find a way to suppress Skye's abilities.
• I felt bad for Kara when she was trying on a bunch of different faces because it's just so clear that she doesn't know who she is right now and she's just so lost.
• I liked that when Kara told Ward that she doesn't have anything to repay him with that Ward told her that's not why he's doing this because this just goes to show that Ward really does just want to help her get her life together and he's helping her in the ways that he wished someone had helped him when he needed it most.
• I'm glad that Coulson is sending Skye away from Shield because I think that being away from everyone is the only way Skye's going to relearn how to be her own person but I found myself pretty bored by all of their scenes.
• I really didn't like how Kara came onto Ward while wearing Skye's face but I'm glad that he rejected her but made sure to do so somewhat gently because he knows that she's in a pretty fragile state right now. I also like that Ward more or less said that he won't be chasing after Skye anymore because with the way that Skye has treated Ward this season I really need him to be on guard around her for his own sake since I don't want to see him get hurt again.
• I liked how Ward told Kara that what is most important for her to do is find herself again and I liked that Ward did try to dry from personal experience in order to help her even though his methods of finding closure may not be the healthiest in the world they have allowed him to move on with his life and that's what he wants for Kara to be able to move past the pain she experienced.
• I like that it seems like Ward is finally aware that what Garrett did to him was turn him into a killer rather than save him like Ward thought that he had.
• I liked that Skye snapped at Coulson about always taking in Shield terms and hiding behind that rather having a real conversation with her because this gives me hope that someday Skye can find her way back to the girl that would stand up to Shield's bullshit rather than blindly follow it.
• I liked that Lance asked Bobbi run away with him and for the two of them to start over away from all of the Shields but I also liked that Bobbi was too loyal to real Shield's cause to go even though part of her wanted to.
• I'm curious about where Lance ran off to in the plane in stole and I felt bad for Bobbi that he left her even though I could understand why he did.
• I'm pretty worried about Bobbi and Mack since Coulson and May are suspicious of them but I really hope that they and new Shield are the ones that come out on top.
• I loved that at the end of the episode Kara put her real face on and I liked how she and Ward introduced themselves to each other and he told her that he was proud of her and she thanked him and he told her that she did it all by herself. I just really love how supportive Ward is of Kara and how important it is to him that she finds herself again and I like that she's grateful for his help and values his opinion of her and  he ever gives her understanding and approval, I just really love the friendship between these two.
• I really liked Kara getting her revenge on Bakshi by putting him through what he put her through and I really liked her vicious she was towards him.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: One of Us(2.13)

                                            Agents of Shield: One of Us(2.13)Review

• When Cal was describing all the horrible things that Shield has done to his ragtag group of people who are on the index I couldn't help but to feel bad for the ways they suffered since they were treated as if they were less than human and that's something that I will always think of as evil which makes me more willing to side with Cal than Coulson.
• I think that Skye acting like everything will be normal and that she will soon be able to go back into the field and Coulson's comment about how that seems unrealistic makes me believe that Skye still really doesn't understand how Shield really works and that soon she'll have to face the reality of what Shield really is.
• I loved that Bobbi pointed out that they're all spies therefore they all lie because everyone on this show takes lying way to personally for a spy show.
• I like that Simmons is still shown to be upset with Fitz that he hid the truth about Skye from her and how that relates to the general distance between the two.
• I was pretty surprised to learn that May's ex husband Andrew his a psychologist and I was even more surprised to find out that he was a good one who respected the rights for his patients more than Shield's agenda although sadly I wasn't surprised that May thought he was ridiculous for caring about his patients more than Shield.
• Cal and his group were really very fun to watch this episode because even though they were all a bit crazy and a lot dangerous they were also all sympathetic to me and I completely understand why they would want to make Shield pay.
• I liked that when Simmons started suggesting drugging Skye to Andrew before he even met her you could tell that he was against the idea especially since he hasn't even been able to assess her yet.
• Skye taking having to talk with a shrink when she's clearly unstable as personal is just another thing that shows that she doesn't understand what it means to be an agent.
• I liked how when Skye was deflect Andrew pointed out what she was doing and he was able to get her to talk about the truth what is going on with her and how she's feeling. I also liked that Andrew answered a few of her questions about May after Skye shared with him.
• I thought it was really sad that there was this guy that hasn't spoken in years because an experiment left him with vocal cords that sent people into comas and I think it was terribly unfair of Coulson to call the guy a monster simply because he was cursed with an awful ability that has left him terribly isolated from the rest of society.
• I liked how Carla the woman who got knives on her fingernails in order to protect herself from her abusive boyfriend said that maybe it was for the best if they just tried to forget about Shield and move on with their lives.
• I liked that it was explained that Cal wasn't gifted or anything but rather someone who experimented on himself to make himself stronger so that he could avenge his wife and rescue his daughter from the people who have destroyed his life.
• I liked how Skye indirectly acknowledge that she was killed people for having abilities like she now has and that she fears that one day she won't be firing the gun but be the one being shot. I liked that on some level Skye's beginning to realize how unsafe Shield is for her.
• I liked how Andrew pointed out to Skye that May's training for control doesn't actually have her handle her emotions but rather pushing them aside waiting to explode on her the second she lets her guard down such as when she's asleep.
• I liked that Mack tried to reach out to Lance by talking about their friendship and I find it sad that Lance can only seem to remember being lied and how he's once again being lied to by someone he considered his friend.
• I liked that Andrew got mad at May for taking the plane up in the air without telling him when he was in session with Skye.
• I liked that when Skye said that she could control herself in the field that Andrew rightful pointed out that she had no way of knowing if she could and I liked that he was against the idea of putting her in any potentially emotionally distressing situations.
• I like how over the top dramatic Cal's plan to lure Coulson out his and I love that the whole point of his plan is to reveal Shield as the monsters that they are.
• I liked that Cal told Skye that even though she rejected him once that he is more than willing to help her to discover who she really is and to accept her. I also like that while he could see that Coulson and May wouldn't kill Skye now that his whole point was that they might someday and he wanted her to see that and I think she's starting to.
• I find it interesting that Gordon kidnapped Cal because he was making too much noise and the inhumans wanted him to keep quiet.
• I liked that Skye seeing Coulson meet the crap out of a man on the index has he tries to surrender and beg for mercy triggered Skye to cause on earthquake because this shows she sees how Coulson is in the wrong here.
• I think it's very concerning how Skye not only can't control her powers at all but her attempts to have led her to directing her powers inwards which is something that could someday kill her if she never learns true control.
• I hope that Coulson having Simmons research ways to disable inhuman's abilities in secret is something that Skye discovers and this leads to her leaving and/or turning against Coulson entirely since he really deserves to face consequences for his actions.
• I liked how Andrew recommended that Skye should leave Shield entirely because he can see how much of an unhealthy environment it is for her to stay in. I also loved how Andrew pointed out that Shield hasn't changed at all.
• I'm very curious about this real Shield that Bobbi and Mack are apart of and I can't wait to learn more about it.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: Who You Really Are(2.12)

                                Agents of Shield: Who Are You Really(2.12)Review

• I liked that Fitz was trying to look after Skye with how he went down to her training with May and suggested that Skye needed a break it wasn't a suggestion that May was willing to take but I guess it's the thought that counts.
• I find it a bit sad that as soon as Lance decides to stay and his relationship with Bobbi seems to be going well he'll soon find out that she's still keeping secret.
• I find it interesting that Coulson decided to put Mack in the field especially since it's clear that Mack doesn't really like or trust Coulson it seems odd that Coulson would think putting him in the field would be a good idea.
• I really didn't care about the plot with Lady Sif and tracking down a Kree man who was looking for inhumans that had recently came into their powers because the Kree designed the inhumans to weapons but they are weapons that got out of their control so they now want to destroy them. I feel like this plot was just a way to get the team to find out about Skye's powers but I don't think a whole episode need to be devoted to that considering that Skye has horrible self control.
• I think that Fitz telling Skye that it's a bad idea to let anyone else know about her powers shows that Shield's policies in these type situations don't end well for people like her.
• I thought that it was a bit sad that Mack thought it would be for the best if Bobbi pushed Lance away so that he would leave and they wouldn't have to fight him if he said with Coulson's team.
• I find it a bit concerning that there's apparently a bunch of obelisk scatter through out the world.
• I thought that it was really odd and unprofessional of Coulson to allow Skye to sit out because of a supposed minor injury when he would never let anyone else sit out because this just shows Coulson's favoritism.
• I think that Lady Sif had a really good point that it is in fact safer for everyone if she takes Skye back with her because Asgard is better able to handle the affects of her powers.
• I think it's really messed up that the only way Skye can think of getting control of her powers is to shoot herself with an icer and it also goes to show that the methods of control that May's been teaching Skye don't actually control anything.
• I think that the whole team is extremely hypocritical with how they are protecting Skye because if it was someone not on their team that got these powers they would have probably killed her after hearing what that Kree guy said about inhumans.
• I think that Mack has a point that the team does need to be protected from Skye but I also like that Fitz wants to protect her.
• I liked that Skye moved herself into vault D and I liked that because it shows that she starting to feel like she doesn't belong anymore and if she feels that way then soon she'll leave and then she'll be able to find herself again and become decent human being again because she hasn't been one all season and she's not going to remember how to be one until she leaves Shield.
• I'm curious about what Mack is going to do now that Lance wants answers about the secrets that are being kept from him.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: Aftershocks(2.11)

                                            Agents of Shield: Aftershocks(2.11)Review

• I really liked that Skye's mom was shown to compassionately help out young inhumans such as Gordon the eyeless man that we saw at the end of last episode who got a signal from the obelisk that showed that a new inhuman's power has been awakened.
• I liked that it was explained that Skye's mom helped many inhumans through out her life because she had such a long life span.
• I liked that Skye was shown to be really upset about Trip's death because she hasn't before this point this season she has been shown not to really care about anyone or anything other than Coulson and May and their opinion of her.
• I like that Skye's being kept in quarantine because that's exactly how Shield would handle those who are different and I like that the show is starting to isolate her from the team even if they don't know what she is yet it's good to see that she is going to have to deal with being separate from them right away.
• I liked that Skye pointed out to Coulson that Hydra isn't the reason that Trip died or that their plan to destroy the city failed but because she went down there and Trip followed her. I'm glad that Skye is feeling guilty but I dislike that Coulson seems to just want a scapegoat more than anything else.
• I'm confused by what even happened with Mack being possessed by the city but I liked that he was shown to be somewhat traumatized by it.
• I liked how they showed us a brief look inside of how Hydra works with the meeting of the heads and how they decide who the new leader will be.
• I liked how the show took it's time to reveal what Raina's transformation was like which seemed to make her grow thorns and made it so that bullets couldn't kill her.
• I thought that it was nice of Bobbi to visit Skye in quarantine especially since they aren't really friends or anything and I don't believe that we've even seen them talk before this but I really disliked that how she praised Skye for shooting Ward because that was a bad move on Skye's part for multiple reasons that I mentioned in my review of the last episode.
• I felt bad for Simmons when she asked to come back to head quarters because it just showed how isolated she felt from the rest of the team.
• I loved that Mack yelled at Coulson when he tried to say that Trip's death was all Hydra's fault because he could see that it was actually Coulson's fault for putting the team at needless risk in order to figure the alien writings in his head.
• I kind of liked that the team completely ignored Skye freaking out and almost causing another earthquake because it just goes to show how disconnected the team is from each other's emotional needs. It also goes to show that Shield is not a place that's going to handle Skye's changes compassion because they are incapable of even recognize what the real problem is so how could they possibly help her.
• I really didn't like how the team was able to fairly easily pull one over on Hydra using Bakashi because Shield isn't really all that good at these kind of things so I didn't really believe that they were capable of something like this because if they were why wouldn't they have done it earlier.
• I find it pretty frightening how Simmons is talking about finding a way to eliminate all things alien because she's talking about killing an entire species of people without finding out if they're good or bad just because she's sad that Trip died it's really very frightening how much this team is willing to justify killing people just because they're sad or angry.
• I felt bad for Raina that she waited her entire life to evolve only for her transformation to be something she hates. I felt really bad for Raina when she described how her insides cut her and hurt her every times she moves, I liked that while she was upset with having lost her beauty that wasn't the only reason why she was so upset with her transformation.
• I liked seeing that Raina was angry and jealous of how Skye's transformation gave her powers but didn't still her good looks but I disliked how Cal didn't even bother to tell Raina that Skye's transformation didn't have any real affect on Raina's transformation but I do like the idea of Raina being Skye's dark counterpart so I like that Raina resents her.
• I liked that Cal pointed out that Shield is the worst place for Skye to be during a time of transformation and how this will lead to her seeing how Shield truly treats people like her and how Cal thinks that Skye will come running to him because she needs him because he would be able to understand her ways Shield never will. I also liked that Raina pointed out that it doesn't really matter that Skye transformed because she still won't come to Cal although he ignored her comment I still think she's right.
• I disliked how after Raina told Cal that she couldn't live with what she had become to just not live because it was so dismissive of her when the two of them had known each other for years.
• I liked how Lance figured out that whatever Bobbi is up to that she is in on it with Mack and I just generally like the scenes those two had together.
• I'm a bit confused by why Coulson and May seemed surprised that Simmons recommended using lethal force on Raina considering that Raina is a known enemy of Shield has been since before it's fall and is now more dangerous  then ever especially since neither Coulson nor May have any problems killing any of their other enemies whether they be people with or without powers.
• I liked how Fitz figured out that Skye was the one that caused the earthquake and I liked that he was able to figure out that the data in his head wasn't wrong but that Skye has become something inhuman which was why the data didn't make sense.
• I really don't understand why no one was able to figure out that anything was wrong with Skye considering that she was freaking out through out this episode and caused two earthquakes which leads me to believe that she caused more than before the episode even started while in quarantine which just shows how little attention Shield pays to their agents.
• I really don't understand why Coulson would be so upset about Trip's death and I don't really buy that he is because Coulson and Trip weren't close and he didn't really seem sad that Trip died just angry that Hydra won.
• I think that Skye complaining and completely falling apart after less than a week in quarantine goes to show that she really isn't ready to be the agent that she has been acting like in the first half of this season because agents are suppose to be able to withstand torture and Skye can't even hold herself together after a few days in quarantine.
• I thought that it was really great of Fitz to hide the fact that Skye had changed but also pretty dangerous since Skye is incredible unstable and has extremely destructive powers now that could get everyone killed. I understand why Fitz feels that it's best to keep it secret though because he's been with Shield long enough to really know their policy on gifteds and their policy on inhumans probably won't be much different.
• I thought that it was nice that Fitz comforted Skye and told her that even though she was different now that didn't mean anything was wrong with her also I think that Fitz treating Skye like this is especially good of him considering that Skye abandoned him just like the rest of the team during his time of need because his difference made her uncomfortable.
• I thought it was sad how Raina was trying to kill herself and I'm glad that a grown up Gordon came in at last minute and saved her told her she was beautiful and promised to help her find her way.
• I liked that we found out that Bobbi and Mack her after Fury's toolbox and that they're planning to make their move soon.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: What They Become(2.10)

                               Agents of Shield: What They Become(2.10)Review

• I'm glad that Coulson at least told May that killing Ward and ensuring everyone's on the plane's death was a bad idea even if I felt it wasn't exactly said for the right reasons.
• I like and was surprised that the team was still thinking of ways to maybe save Mack considering how Coulson was so eager to ditch him last episode but I feel like it was mostly Fitz, Simmons and Bobbi that were determined to find him not Coulson so I guess it makes sense.
• I liked that Lance asked Bobbi how she was doing and I liked how Bobbi admitted that after the mission was done she would probably cry for like a week it's nice to see someone allow themselves to be vulnerable on this show this season. I also liked that Lance spotted Bobbi hiding a flash drive from him but decided to trust her and not pry about what was on it.
• I really disliked how Coulson said that the reason that Skye was an agent  was solely because of May because Skye had her hacking skills long before she met anyone on the team and that was the original reason she was even allowed on the team and that had nothing to do with May. Then there's also the fact that Ward trained Skye throughout season 1 he was the reason she was able to earn her badge and he was the one that was able to convince Skye to take things seriously and ironically make her believe that Shield were the good guys once again everything that Skye achieved in season 1 wasn't because of May it was because Skye put the effort in herself and because Ward trained her well. But the thing that May can take the blame for is the cruel mindless obedient Skye who seems to be incapable of compassion, friendship or any emotion other than hate so I guess I'm okay with the showing telling me to blame May for season 2 Skye's unhealthy lifestyle but I hate the show trying to give May credit for Skye's skills as an agent.
• I really don't understand why Ward believes that Skye has good self control because her self control is awful she is extremely unprofessional and hateful in pretty much every interaction she has with an enemy the only explanation I can think of is love is blind. On a side note I really liked that Ward complimented Skye's skills even if her self control is pretty much non-existent.
• I'm really confused as to why Skye can't figure out that Ward was bringing her to meet her father considering that he told her that he was keeping his promise to her.
• I was worried about Ward when he was telling Skye he wasn't loyal to Hydra while walking through a hallway filled with Hydra soldiers because you'd think they would kill him for being disloyal to Hydra.
• I liked how Skye's dad was so happy to meet her and how he tells her that he wished that they could have met under different happier circumstances and how he had been dreaming of this day of years. I also liked that he didn't lie to her about the bad things that he had done. I also liked that he told us that his name was Cal because it's nice to have a name to call him.
• I was disappointed and sad that Skye was completely dismissive and hateful of her father who clearly loves her simply because she had been searching for her parents her whole life and she decides to give up her chance of having a relationship with her father just because he isn't who she imagined him to be or because Coulson wouldn't approve, it's just sad to see how easily and how much she's given up on the things she use to want for Coulson's approval.
• I liked how Bobbi and Lance spied on the Hydra guys and had make out in order to throw them off.
• I liked that Cal told Skye about who took her mom and her way from him and how Whitehall experimented on her mother then killed her and that he was now going to avenge her. I also liked that Cal explained that her mother had a gift that didn't hurt anyone. I also liked that Skye was sad to hear what happened to her mother because it shows that she is at least able to care about non-shield related things.
• I liked that Whitehall was able to figure out just about everything about everyone's true motives for being here expect Ward because it's nice to have a fairly smart villain.
• I liked that Raina pointed out that Ward's motive was clearly his love for Skye because I liked that Raina sees that his love is the most obvious thing in the world because it's really obvious and the only reason that Skye and the rest of team can't see that is because their heads and hearts are so filled with hate that they can't see anything positive anymore.
• I'm glad that Skye actually heard Whitehall say that Ward tried to protect the team and went against his orders because she really needs to see that Ward isn't loyal to Hydra and never was.
• It really continues to concern me how easy killing people is for Skye since she used the obelisk to kill several guys like it was nothing once again this show really needs to address at some point why it's so easy for her because unlike the rest of the field agents on this show killing is new for her and not something that she's been properly trained to handle so they need to show her processing it someday.
• I liked that as soon as Skye was in danger that Ward blew his cover completely in order to try and protect her.
• I was so terrified when Whitehall threatened to brainwash Ward and I was so concerned with how Ward didn't seem to take this threat seriously because he has no idea if he can withstand machine brainwashing and we all know that he was real world brainwashed so I don't know how good that makes his chances of resisting machine brainwashing but luckily he didn't get brainwashed so I was worried for no real reason. I also liked that Skye seemed upset at the idea of Ward being brainwashed.
• I liked when Agent 33 said that she was only loyal to Whitehall and that he gave her life purpose that Ward connected her relationship with Whitehall with his relationship with Garrett and he told her how he was loyal to a guy once and he went completely insane. I also liked that Ward seemed more concerned than anything else that Agent 33 was wearing May's face unlike everyone else on the show who had treated it like a joke.
• It was super creepy when Whitehall was telling Skye about what he did to her mother while touching her knee and telling her that he had similar plans for her. I also liked that Ward struggled against his bonds at that point because he wanted to protect her.
• I liked that Ward distracted the guards a bit when he saw that Cal was close to get himself free and I liked how he tried to convince Cal to let him go but Cal apparently didn't want to for reasons with Skye it was because he didn't want her to witness the violence he planned to inflict on Whitehall but I'm really unsure about why he wouldn't help Ward.
• I was sad for Cal that he didn't get to kill Whitehall because he had been planning to for so long but I like that for once Coulson actually wasn't trying to be asshole when he killed Whitehall but I do get why Cal hated him for it. Also I find it kind of pathetic that Coulson pretty much killed the big bad of the season pretty much by accident.
• I felt bad for Agent 33 when she found Whitehall's dead body because she was dependent on him and now he's gone and she's lost.
• I liked Lance's line about how joining Shield allows you to travel meet interesting people and kill them, I just found the line funny.
• I thought it was very nice of Ward to release Skye from her bonds after he somehow escaped his and I liked that he apologized for how things didn't go as planned and that he was going to do his best to get her out of there safely and was even looking out for her to see if the coast was clear this was all really great of him sadly Skye didn't appreciate any of these things.
• I really hated that Skye shot Ward first because I love Ward, second he didn't deserve to be shot because he wasn't a threat to her and was actively trying to help her when she shot him, and finally because it was stupid of her she was surround by enemies and she could clearly hear lots of gun fighting and she had no way of knowing who the second party was it could have easily been someone like the FBI or something  that would kill a Shield agent just as quickly as the would kill Hydra agent therefore trying to kill the only sure ally you have is a dangerous move because she easily could become out numbered and get herself killed. I do like that with Skye shooting Ward it means that she no longer as the illusion of the moral high ground to stand on since she's actually hurt Ward way worse than he's ever hurt her. Also I say illusion because Skye lost the moral high ground when she told Ward that he should have tried harder to kill himself.
• I find it a bit sad but I also like that Ward doesn't look mad that Skye shot him but just emotionally hurt by it as well as physically hurt because I don't want him to be hateful and I don't think he's going to be.
• I'm glad that Skye didn't end up kill her father and I liked how Cal told her that she was going to change and that no one would understand her anymore because Skye being different will hopefully mean that she'll no longer feel safe with Shield and then she will leave and be able to regain her agency that she lost between seasons. Also Skye's birth name being Daisy means nothing to me because I don't read the comics and I hope she never goes by it because I don't think it suits her.
• I find it extremely disturbing that Skye cried and said she was sorry to Coulson because she couldn't murder her father it's just so fucked up that she believes it's a bad thing that she can't murder a man that has done nothing but loved her. This is just another thing that goes to show how bad Coulson is for her because her relationship with him makes her believe she has to murder people in cold blood in order to gain his approval.
• I liked how Agent 33 went to find Ward after finding Whitehall dead because she remembered their earlier conversation and that he would be able to help her with what she is suppose to do now that Whitehall's gone because he went through something similar.
• I liked that when Agent 33 approaches Ward tells him that Whitehall's dead that the first thing Ward does isn't to ask for help for the gunshot wound that is currently bleeding out of his side but to tell her that she's free now because to him the most important thing for Agent 33 to know was that Whitehall being dead is actually a good thing even if it doesn't feel that way right now her getting her knowing she's free now is more important to Ward than his own life. I just love Ward so much being able to show compassion for someone he barely knows as he lies there nearly dying he honestly is the character that I still think is the most heroic on the entire show because he cares about other people more than himself.
• I really love that Ward and Agent 33 agreed to help each other figure things out and walked out of the place before things got even more chaotic. I'm really excited for this relationship because these two really deserve the chance figure out how to live their lives for themselves and I like that their treating each other like human beings unlike the way every single other character in the show has treated them.
• I liked that at some point Raina snuck off with the obelisk to go find the city and get the powers that she had always long for.
• I think that it was a really bad idea for Skye to follow Raina into the city despite knowing that the team were planning to blow it up soon.
• I liked that Trip went back down into the city to disable all the bombs by hand in order to make sure that Skye wouldn't die for running into the city and I liked that he was able to succeed.
• I really adored how happy Raina was to find out what she will become and I'm really curious to find out what that is as well.
• I was sad that Trip died but I never really got that emotional attached to his character because the show never really gave him much to work with so I didn't cry or anything.
• It seems that Skye has earthquake powers this can only lead to her killing a ton of people because like I said earlier Skye has terrible self control and those kind of powers are super destructive.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: Ye Who Enter Here(2.09)

                                     Agents of Shield: Ye Who Enter Here(2.09)Review

• I think that Skye's dream at the beginning of the episode is foreshadowing that Shield won't be accepting of her once her true nature is revealed and they will abandon her on at least some level and/or Skye will leave the Shield due to her fear of being abandoned.
• It's sad that Fitz and Simmons aren't even talking to each other at all when last season they were always together now they're barely ever even in the same room as each other.
• I think it's pretty hypocritical that team keeps call Skye's dad crazy when Coulson was acting even crazier two episodes ago and Mack was the only one that seemed even a little bit bothered by it. Also I'm shocked that the team actual told Skye the truth about meeting her dad since they seem to love keeping her in the dark about vital information about herself.
• I think Coulson's plan to blow up an underground sea  side city is incredible stupid and can only end in complete disaster and I can't understand why everyone thinks he's a good leader since his plans are just so stupid.
• I really loved seeing Raina and I liked how it turned out that she was using a rich older man to take care of her needs.
• I was surprised to find out that Agent 33 was still alive since I thought that she was killed off in episode four also I'm curious about why she's still wearing May's face is the mask stuck or is their some other reason it's still on.
• I was surprised and confused that Shield was actually keeping track of Raina and looking out for her because one Raina is an enemy that has more than proven that she's only out for herself and because Shield usually doesn't protect anyone so it's strange that a known enemy is literally the only person that they put any effort in protecting this season.
• I think it's super hypocritical for Skye to judge and hate Ward for possibly killing his abusive family members when one for her current life goals is to murder her father that she never met and has been searching for her for her entirely life, it bothers me because Skye's dad has done nothing to her but she thinks she has the right to kill me while Ward's family abused him for the first fifteen years of his and then after not seeing him for fifteen years they try to have him kill yet somehow Skye, May and Coulson mourn those asshole and hate Ward despite knowing what monsters they are.
• I liked how Simmons talked to Bobbi about how she felt after Fitz woke up from his coma because she hadn't talked about her feelings at all about that as of yet and I also liked that it let us know that Simmons so far just doesn't have romantic feelings for Fitz but still loves him as her best friend.
• I'm interested in the secret that Bobbi and Mack have with each other and I'm interested in learning more about it.
• I think that it didn't make much sense that Skye was able to hold her own against Agent 33 when Agent 33 was able to hold her own against May last time they fought and Skye has been an agent for less than a year there's no way she's anywhere close to the same level of fighter as May is.
• I found it out of character for season 2 Skye offer Agent 33 help even if she does know she's brainwashed because the last time she encountered a brainwashed asset she murder him in cold blood and didn't feel guilty about it for even a second so while I felt bad for Agent 33 being left at Hydra's mercy once again after her fight with Skye I'm glad that Skye didn't actually help her because it wouldn't have felt in character for season 2 Skye show someone compassion.
• I liked that Bobbi felt that Coulson's plan to blow up a city wasn't a good one because it was a really awful. I also think that Coulson's his ridiculously stupid for believing that he can blow up the city without any loss of civilian life because there's just no way.
• I felt bad for Simmons that when she was trying to reach out to Fitz he told her that he was going to be leaving the lab and her to work with Mack in the garage.
• I think that Skye is completely delusional for believing that Coulson is the forgiving type since he's one of the least forgiving main characters that I have ever encountered in ninety percent of shows I watch Ward would have been offered a second chance three or four episodes ago.
• I liked that as soon as Raina found at that Hydra had the obelisk and were looking for her in order to find the city that Raina tried to screw Shield over and get caught by them in order to be able to go to the city and find out what her true nature is.
• I think it's pretty awful that Coulson and his team know that Agent 33 is brainwashed and they not only aren't trying to help her but they are also making fun of her for having a May mask stuck on her face.
• I liked how Raina told Skye about how they are both something a bit more than human but not alien and about how much Skye's father loves her and that his sole goal is to meet her. I also liked that we got to learn a bit more about Raina that she worked as a con before meeting Skye's father and that she so clearly cares for him and wanted to be the daughter he never got to raise but she was never good enough for him which is sad for her.
• I found it strange that being left down in the city that Mack seemed to become possessed by it for some reason and I liked that both Fitz and Bobbi tried their hardest to reach out to him. I think it was pretty crappy of Coulson to give up on Mack as quickly as he did but it's also in character.
• I was very concerned for Ward when everyone was aiming guns at him when he came to fetch Raina and I liked that Raina was more than happy to come with him.
• I think that May is ridiculously stupid and unprofessional for thinking that murdering Ward is worth the lives of everyone on this plane which I believe is the lives of six Shield agents she was willing to sacrifice in the name of petty vengeance this for me is one of the main problems I have with Shield they are unable to think logically and care more about their hurt feelings than anything else. Although I did like that Lance pointed out that he wasn't okay with that because really no one should be okay with dying for some petty grudge.
• I like to think that Skye agreed to go with Ward because she knew that he was talking about taking her to meet her father when he talked about finding a way to keep his promise to her and also because she has to know by now that he wouldn't do anything to really hurt her since he never has.
• I liked that the end of the episode confirmed that Ward wasn't loyal to Hydra with Agent 33 telling Whitehall that Ward cancelled the order to shoot down the team's plane, I always knew that Ward was just working undercover in Hydra even if he wasn't working with anyone else outside of it but it's nice to be proven right.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: The Things We Bury(2.08)

                                   Agents of Shield: The Things We Bury(2.08)Review

• I thought that Whitehall forcing people to touch the oblisk in order to time how fast the die was really horrible and I felt really bad for all the people that were put through that. I thought that it was even worse when he found a woman that didn't die when she touched the oblisk he decided that he had to lock her up in a cage.
• I liked how Skye's father told Whitehall that the oblisk/diviner isn't something that can just be used as a weapon but that it actually leads somewhere. I'm concerned about how he mentioned that going to the city or something in the city could lead to destroying humanity which is never a good thing and I'm confused about why Whitehall still thinks that Hydra going there is a good idea.
• I'm very concerned about how Skye's father said that he would reunite with his family in the afterlife because I don't want anyone hurting Skye but at the same time I think there's a good chance Skye's father could be lying to Whitehall because he doesn't trust or like him.
• I really didn't get Coulson's whole mission of handing people two random things in Hawaii then going somewhere else to hack something to find a map. This plot wasn't exciting, interesting nor did it make a whole lot of sense.
• I thought that Bobbi seemed to do a pretty good job at interrogating Bakashi but his complete and total belief with Whitehall and all he stands for kept her from getting much of anything from him for quite awhile.
• I liked how Mack mentioned to Lance how Coulson went completely nuts last episode and how Mack pretty much is implying that working for him isn't such a good idea.
• I'm very concerned with how Simmons pointed out that any Hydra employee could be brainwashed without even knowing it because this is the third time this season that Simmons and brainwashing has been implied which makes me believe that she was brainwashed.
• I kind of liked that the show took the time to tell us that Christian is cheating on his wife probably to both show how two face he is and to make sure that we all hate him even more.
• I liked that Ward was able to get his brother at his mercy because after all that Christian done to him his whole life it's nice to see the power dynamic be swapped.
• I liked how it was shown that when Bobbi is thinking hard on something she twirls her batons and I liked that Lance knows what this means.
• I liked how excited Simmons was to hold a file that Peggy Carter also once held.
• I liked how when Peggy was interrogating Whitehall for information that she let him talk without ever offering him a deal and told him point blank that as long as she had a say he will be locked up because she knows about how he preformed inhumane experiments on people and it disgusts her.
• I'm so glad that Ward was able to see through all of Christian's manipulation tactics and that he didn't once fall for a signal one of them and instead called out what Christian was trying to do to him. I especially liked that when Christian tried to say that he helped Ward escaped that Ward told him how he fought his way out and reminded Christian that he planned to have him executed.
• While I'm glad that it's made clear that Ward is accepting responsibility for his own actions I think it's messed up how he thinks he let his family hollow him out because they abused him very badly for his entire childhood and he didn't let them do it and it breaks my heart that he thinks that's even somehow his fault for not being able to handle a completely terrible situation better.
• I find it so sad that Ward needs Christian to confess what really happened at the well because he can't even trust his own memory that was brought up the beserker staff last season because his family has messed him up that much that he doesn't even know what the truth about his past really even is.
• I'm glad that Fitz was able to do the high pressured task that Coulson had given him to do but I still think that Coulson constantly expecting these things out of Fitz while he's still recovering from his injury isn't fair of him or good for Fitz in general.
• I really disliked the speech that Trip gave about trusting Coulson no matter what because it just doesn't feel earned or even like something anyone would actually say.
• Even though Whitehall is a terrible human being I liked that he was treated like a human being while he was imprisoned with how he had sunlight, books, plants and other personal items this shows that Shield once was a decent place but it also shows that the show knows that Coulson treatment of Ward was inhumane which is a good thing because that means that Coulson will be called out for that someday.
• Whitehall is the most disgusting person ever pretty much with how he killed the woman who could touch the diviner and than harvested her organs and used them to make himself younger because he saw that she hadn't aged in decades. I don't know if you can top this level of awful and I don't want anyone to ever try.
• I liked that when Lance figured out the information about who Whitehall really is and how old he really is that he gave the information to Bobbi so that she could use in her interrogation of Bakashi.
• I was so glad that Ward got Christian to confess to what really happened at the well and I liked that we learned that the mother seemed to be the crueler parent and that she favored the younger brother so Christian wanted him to die which is really disturbing when you remember the well flashbacks and consider how young they were. Overall I'm just glad that Ward now knows for sure that he never wanted to hurt his younger brother that it was all lie and he no longer had to carry the guilt for something he was never guilty of in the first place.
• I enjoyed the scene with Skye's father meeting Coulson I just really find Skye's father to be an entertaining character and I like that he wants to wait to meet Skye in order to make a good first impression and while he still does seem to be a bit unstable I also feel like he does care about Skye as well.
• I really dislike how Coulson once again doesn't tell Skye information that concerns her such as he met her father because I think that's something that she should be made aware of so that she can be emotionally prepared if she encounters him.
• I'm assuming that Ward is working some undercover thing in Hydra because he was never loyal to them in the first place, it's a good way for him to take the organization down is from within it especially since he'll be doing everything on his own and he promised Skye that he would find her father and well being inside Hydra got him to her father.
• I don't really think Ward killed his family since they didn't show him doing it on screen because that seems like a scene like that would make for good drama so the fact that they didn't show that scene makes me think that he isn't the one responsible their deaths although even if he is it doesn't make me think any less of him since his family abused him through out his entire childhood and are now trying to have him killed so I can't blame him for wanting them dead.
• I liked Bobbi and Lance hooking up but at the same time considering that Lance flat out told Bobbi that he can't trust her even though he wants to and she has told him that she doesn't lie to him I don't think them getting back together will end any differently than it did the first time because they haven't resolved any of their previous issues.
• I liked that it seems like Skye's father wants revenge against Whitehall because he killed his wife and harvested her organs also after seeing what happened to Skye's mother I can understand why he would loose control the way he did.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: The Writing on the Wall(2.07)

                                Agents of Shield: The Writing on the Wall(2.07)Review

• I found the Carver guy to be really creepy with how he would carve the weird alien symbols into people's skin.
• Coulson becoming more and more obsessed with carving the symbols into the wall and generally being more mentally unstable is very worrisome because he has a lot of power over a lot of dangerous things and no one this season seems willing to stand up to him so him being in charge of things just makes me more and more worried about everyone else.
• I liked that when Trip thought that he caught Ward off guard when he found him that Ward actually knew exactly where Trip was and signal him to show him a bomb which he was using as a bluff to keep Shield from killing him or taking him.
• Once again this episode proves that the team doesn't know Ward at all with how Coulson assumed right away that Ward wasn't bluffing when it cam to the bomb but if you play close attention through out the episode it is proven that he was with how he was shown having his hand off the dead man's switch with no explosion happening. For once I'm glad of the team's complete lack of understanding when it comes to Ward because he kept him free and alive this episode.
• I liked how it was explained that the other people who were craving or painting the symbols were people that the test subjects for Gh-325  who had their memories erased because that explains what happened to those people and why certain people are carving the symbols.
• I find it mildly concerning how causal Fitz and Mack were about stealing a dead body from the morgue but in all honesty steal dead bodies is wouldn't even make the top twenty list of disturbing things Shield has done still a bit odd that no one really consider this all that strange.
• I know that I was probably suppose to see this as a threat but when Ward was talking with that kid and his mom all I could think was that he was such a dork so I enjoyed that scene.
• I liked that Ward was able to figure out that Bobbi was one of Coulson's people that was following him because he noticed that she was on the same page of her book as she was when she was outside the bus.
• I liked that when Coulson said that he was going to use the memory machine thing that Raina used on him last season that both Skye and Simmons told him that they thought that it was a bad idea although this of course didn't stop him from going through with his plan and forcing them to be apart of it.
• I liked that Mack after witnessing all of the crazy things Coulson had been doing and talking about that he started to wonder what he signed up for and is clearly doubting Coulson's leadership abilities, this makes me really happy because honestly Coulson is a terrible leader and someone needs to question him.
• I found the whole GH-325 what happened with the test subjects to be very frightening with them all going insane and how the person working with Coulson on the project had no problems using these people as test subjects that they thought of as less than human, I found this whole thing frightening but the thing I liked best of all was that this was all Shield's doing there was no way to pin this on Hydra this being all Shield just proves that they aren't better than their enemies and they need to face the facts soon or they'll just end up becoming monsters.
• I liked how this episode showed how Coulson is so clearly loosing it and that his actions are something that actually makes his team frightened of him because this has been going on for awhile now so it's nice that it is at least briefly acknowledge within the show.
• I really dislike how Coulson is seemingly unable to see reason with how he couldn't acknowledge that his behavior was screwed up with how he locked Skye in vault D so that he could run off and find the other people with Gh 325 in his system when he clearly wasn't mentally stable.
• I felt bad that no one noticed for a few hours that Skye was locked up in the vault but there is a certain irony to it as well.
• I felt really bad for Hank Thompson the guy that was a dad who built a train track for his kid with how both Coulson and the Carver guy threaten him and his family about strange symbols that he doesn't understand and isn't interested in understanding.
• I liked how when Lance was implying that a lack of subtly blew her cover she brought up the fact that Lance was dressed up as a cowboy.
• I loved how Ward lured Bakashi Whitehall's second in command to meet with him and then took out all of Bakashi's guards and captured Bakashi left him tied up for the team to find and also used the time the team spent get prepared for a fight to escape. I really love how Ward did made more progress in taking Hydra down in one episode than Shield has all season.
• I liked that in a lot of ways this episode portrayed Coulson as almost as bad as the Carver guy that who is clearly a really bad guy because it shows how flawed Coulson is this season and how unfit he is to lead anyone.
• While I like how Mack is actually about his boss possibly being crazy and the whole him having alien blood thing I wonder if the whole people who are alien can't be trusted is some kind of foreshadowing with the team possibly turning on Skye once her alien powers/abilities start to emerge because Shield does have a really cruel police when it comes to gifteds and I don't have any reason to believe they won't have an even worse one when it comes to aliens.
• I don't really understand figuring out that symbols make a map to a city and having all the parts really helps Shield considering they have no idea what might be there if anything actually is.
• I know that Coulson wants everyone to believe that he's all better now but I don't believe that but then again I had a lot of problems with Coulson this season in general and maybe this means is less ethical decisions that he made this season will actually be something that he has to own up to now not just have them hand waved as a side effect of GH 325 which I would enjoy because he really needs to called out on a lot of his decisions.
• I liked that Ward called Skye just it seems to tell her that he'll keep his promise to her and that he has to deal with some personal matters for awhile. I also liked that even though Skye does ask Ward where he is she makes no move to trace the call even though there is literally a button on the screen of the phone shown before she answers it that says trace I take her not wanting to trace the call to mean that she actually doesn't want Shield or his brother to catch him which I think is a good thing.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: A Fractured House(2.06)

                                  Agents of Shield: A Fractured House(2.06)Review

• I thought it was nice of Talbot to give Shield the benefit of the doubt when Hydra people dressed as Shield people attacked the UN although I don't think Shield earned that since they've been acting like villains all season.
• Just so you know I will be calling Christian Ward Christian and Grant Ward, Ward because I've been calling him that since the Pilot and I feel no need to change that now but I don't want anyone to be confused about who I'm talking about.
• I'm a bit confused about how Christian even knows that Ward is still alive since Ward has had no contact with his family in fifteen years and the first five of those years he lived completely off the grid in the woods so wouldn't it make sense for Ward's family to believe he died after he escaped juvy not started working for a secret government agency that the general public as only known existed for a few years now if that, anyways I find it suspicious that Christian knows that Ward was involved in Shield at all and I think he wants Ward dead to keep him quiet about something he knows about him.
• I liked that they showed a scar on Ward's wrist because I thought they were doing good continuity with the scar from his suicide attempt but looking at it closer it seems to be a different scar which annoys me a bit.
• I think that Ward has a very impressive internal clock that he's able to wake up every morning at 5:30 am despite being locked in a cell for months that has no sunlight or clocks but I think that comes from living in the woods for five years.
• I liked that Skye told Simmons that she was glad that she got back from Hydra safely.
• I think it says a lot about current Shield that a bunch of people had to ask Coulson if they were behind the UN attack, I think it says that no one really knows anything that's going on and that they're acting so much like their enemies that they can't tell the difference between themselves and Hydra's actions since neither of them are acting like good guys.
• I liked how Bobbi and Lance had to go on a mission together in this episode it was the most enjoyable part of the episode by far.
• I really don't understand why Coulson and Skye thought that Ward would know the kind of places his brother hangs out now a days considering they both know that Ward hates him and it's pretty clear that he hadn't spoken to his family in years. I guess this is just another thing on the long list of things that the team doesn't understand about Ward even though it's freaking obvious.
• I liked the awkwardness of the scene with Bobbi and Lance were they try to be civil with each other but they just can't seem to go for very long without offending each other somehow.
• I liked that Simmons did her best to treat Fitz like she did before but I think it was unfair of Fitz to assume that Simmons left him because he was different especially since he never really gave her the chance to explain herself although I do like that Fitz doesn't acknowledge that he's different now.
• I felt so sad for Ward when he became terrified by the mere mention of his brother's name and I liked how his first concern was that Skye could be in danger from Christian and she needs to stay away from him I just like that Ward still tries to protect even though he's not in the position to help anymore.
• I really disliked how quickly Coulson put the wall between Skye and Ward when they started discussing her father and I think this shows how threaten Coulson is by Skye not doing exactly what he says. I think that Coulson was both threatened by Skye finding out more about her father and threaten by Skye possibly starting to think of Ward as a human being again because both these things could make Skye question his actions which is something that Coulson certainly doesn't want anyone doing.
• I think that Coulson is a disgusting for coming up with the idea to knowingly sell Ward an abuse victim back to his abuser Christian in order to save his own skin. I would also like to point out that it was Ward's fear of Christian that caused Coulson to approach Christian and tell him that he's keeping Ward prisoner in his basement and is willing to make a trade and this was all before Christian lied and gave Coulson a reason to doubt Ward's word about the abuse.
• I liked how when Lance was trying to compliment Bobbi's undercover skills that it came out as an insult even though he didn't mean it as one.
• I liked that when Lance thought that Bobbi was in danger that he went off to rescue her right away and then she got mad at him for interfering because she had things under control.
• I felt really bad for Ward because I knew that Coulson and Shield would believe Christian's lies because they just love finding new excuses to hate Ward even though Ward flat out told them what kind of person Christian is and the games he plays no one believes me and this makes me so angry and sad because this is the reason that Ward never told anyone about his parents, Christian or Garrett because everyone always believes the abusers over the victim and this is true in real life as well and I hated watching this this episode honestly made me want to puke in regards to this situation.
• I'm not surprised at all that Ward can understand why Skye's father would kill an entire village after loosing her and her mother because it does show that her father loved her.
• I was kind of glad that Ward didn't know how to find Skye's father other than through Raina because it wouldn't have made any sense but I do think that he could probably track him down with his skill set if he was let out of jail.
• While I thought it wasn't really nice that Skye told Ward that he was getting out but by that she means Shield is selling him to his brother, I did like that she didn't gloat about it and didn't seem happy about it like she would in the way she would've been in 2.01 if it happened then so slight improvement but not much.
• I felt bad for Simmons when she saw that in a way that Mack had replaced her in Fitz's life but I liked that she was glad that Fitz had a friend that was there for him when she couldn't be.
• I'm really curious when the three weeks Coulson tried to get Ward to talk were because I feel like that's a pretty important detail of why Ward wasn't ready to talk, was it right after Ward was captured and had a fractured larynx and was physically unable to speak, was it right before Ward's three suicide attempts was it Coulson's words that finally pushed Ward to his breaking point or was it right after his three suicide attempts that Coulson has flat out said that he doesn't care about why they happened because I can think of a lot of reasons that have nothing to do with being difficult as to why Ward wouldn't be willing to talk to Coulson and to be completely honest I don't think Ward talk to Coulson because he didn't feel like he could trust him and Ward couldn't trust Coulson this episode more than proves that.
• I liked that Ward's goal was to help the team out and eventually rejoin the team someday because I liked that Ward hasn't completely given up on himself. I also don't find it strange that he thought Coulson was offering him a second chance because through out all of season one Coulson gave out second chances and told Ward that everyone deserves one apparently what Coulson meant is everyone he likes deserves a second chance and Coulson was never too fond of Ward and he likes being petty and vengeful too much to be fair or decent to Ward.
• I thought it was unfair of Mack to say that Simmons bailed on Fitz when he doesn't know why she left and I find it sad that Simmons being around Fitz actually makes him worse and that's why she left him.
• I liked how Bobbi told Lance that she's okay with him staying if he wants to stay after he tries to leave after saying that Shield has always been her thing.
• I dislike how Simmons threatened to kill Ward especially since she's the only person on the team who has yet to kill someone so it's sad to see her willing to sink so low in order to be vengeful. I also have a feeling that the next time she sees him he'll be saving her life, don't know why I have that feeling but I think it has a good chance of happening.
• I liked that Ward still plans to keep his promise to Skye about helping her find her father because it proves that despite her betraying him that he doesn't hold this against her in anyway, it's nice to see at least one character on this show being capable of forgiveness.
• I am so glad that Ward escaped because he didn't deserve what was happening to him in this episode and what was going to happen to him was that his brother would get to hurt him again and then murder him and that's no justice and I don't think any character has deserved a second chance like Grant Ward does so I'm glad that he's taking things into his own hands.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: A Hen in the Wolf's House(2.05)

                               Agents of Shield: A Hen in the Wolf's House(2.05)Review

• I thought that it was scary that Hydra is developing away to kill people in masses in a way similar to the Obelisk and that they are willing to kill anyone who stands against them.
• I liked that Skye stood up to Coulson when he tried to brush off her questions about where the alien writing source he had came from and I love that for once this season she didn't back down to him just because.
• I liked that as soon as Skye left that May told Coulson that he should be honest with Skye because she has a right to know.
• I liked how it was shown that Skye's father was a doctor for criminals which really explained quite a lot about him to me like why is he called the doctor and why does he live in such a shady place if he's a doctor but now those things make sense.
• I found it super interesting that Raina had known Skye's father for years and that she has been waiting for him to show her that the stories her grandmother told her when she was young are true and I'm just super glad we got to learn a bit more about Raina.
• I liked that Skye's father main goal at this point was to be able to meet Skye and make her understand him and that the reason he wouldn't let the obelisk go is because he thinks that's the only way that she would understand him. Also liked that is was mentioned that he's been searching for Skye ever since she was taken from him, I just liked that Skye was never unwanted like she assumed she was.
• I was really worried about Raina because she couldn't get the obelisk from Skye's father so she was terrified that Whitehill would kill her.
• I liked how we got to see a bot more of Simmons undercover in Hydra and I liked that she was so clear terrified by their plans to murder millions of people.
• I was glad to learn that Ward source when it came to information about Skye's father was only Raina because I was worried that he might have been brainwashed or something and that's how he knew more than made sense but luckily it seems like Raina just told him more stuff off screen.
• I liked that Skye thought that Raina was manipulating Ward both because it proves that she and everyone else knows that Raina is the best manipulator on this show which is something that should be recognized more often and because it means she trusts that Ward isn't lying to her just that he doesn't have the full truth.
• I liked that when Skye showed Ward the alien writing that he was worried that they were her writing and when she told him they weren't he was so relieved.
• I liked that Ward said that he was actually relieved that Garrett died after he went crazy because even though I may not think he was relieved by Garrett's death for the right reasons I'm glad that he can at least see him being gone as a good thing.
• I liked that Ward was the one that told Skye about the connection between the alien writing and GH-325 because someone really should've before this point.
• I liked that Skye was mad at Coulson when she figured out that the alien writings were his and that he's been keeping this from her for months and I liked that she was even more upset that he has been spying on her although I'm upset that she didn't remain upset with him for longer considering how much and long he lied to her and violated her privacy.
• I liked that it was brought up that Skye could in fact be an alien because I've been thinking this since like episode 12.
• I liked how when Raina saw Simmons working at Hydra and proof of her spying on them that she used this as an opportunity to get what she needed from the team in order to ensure her own survival.
• I kind of liked that Simmons got her hands dirty by framing the man working next her for being the mole even though she knew that he would most likely be killed for it.
• I liked how Raina was planning to use exposing Simmons to everyone at Hydra in order to get Coulson to give her Skye so that she could introduce her to her father and I liked that it became clear that Raina didn't want anything bad to happen to Simmons and was so upset and disappointed in Coulson when he choice to let Simmons possibly be killed rather than give her Skye.
• I liked that Skye hearing Raina talk about her father made her belief both what Ward told her earlier and what Raina was saying now and I liked that Skye so clearly did want to meet her father even though she knew that this could very well be a trap of some sort.
• I disliked the way that May physically pushed Skye into a wall when she wanted to give herself up to Raina.
• I was glad that Bobbi was undercover in Hydra and that she ended up saving Simmons and I really loved how Simmons couldn't get over how awesome Bobbi was in rescuing her and I have to say I agree with her.
• I found it interesting that Raina was so frightened that she actually asked Coulson to take her in so that she would be able to be safe from Whitehall.
• I liked how Simmons and Trip were both so happy to see each other again I thought that was sweet.
• I really hated Lance being an ass to Raina and I totally on Raina's side of any conversation that they had.
• I liked that Skye snuck out head in order to have a chance at meeting her father and I liked that we actually got to see her breakdown once she realized she just missed her chance at meeting him, it was nice to see her react to things emotionally again overall I liked how for the first time this season she seemed like the character I fell in love with last season.
• I was actually sad for Skye's father when he saw her declare him a monster and saw her take comfort in Coulson as a father figure.
• I wasn't really surprised to learn that Lance's ex-wife is Bobbi but over all I thought that Bobbi is too good for him and I can see why he's still hung up on her since she's awesome.
• I don't think that Skye is going to go after her father as easily as she thinks she's going to be able to go after him because she's been looking for him her entire life and he does love her like she always wished that he did so I don't think she's going to be able to turn those feelings off entirely when she comes face to face with him in the future.
• I think that Skye is letting Coulson off way to easily with the way he violated her trust and I don't know how she can trust him to not keep secrets from her when he has done it multiple times through out the series not just this one time and the secrets he keep often directly affect her.
• I wonder how Skye knew right away when she touched the alien writing that it was a map.
• I think that Skye's father made a really bad move deciding to work with Hydra in order to kill Coulson probably as some messed up way to get Skye but on the other hand I hope this means that Raina is safe from Whitehill since he now has access to the obelisk.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: I Will Face My Enemy(2.04)

                               Agents of Shield: I Will Face My Enemy(2.04)Review

• So in this episode they discover that there's a painting with the strange alien writing and Coulson and May go undercover to look for it, I have no real interest in this episode overall so this probably won't be a super detailed review.
• I thought that it was nice to see Coulson and May undercover especially May since she acted so different than she normal did.
• I liked that Coulson wanted to talk to May about a plan as to what to due if things get really bad and I liked that May didn't really want to think or talk about what would happen then.
• I think with the amount of times that Lance has mentioned his ex wife that there is no way that he's over her in anyway what so ever.
• I liked that hallucination Simmons kept trying to get Fitz to join in the conversations that everyone else was having and how she thought that he was afraid of not having anything to say rather than just not fitting in with them.
• I think that it's freaky that Hydra has technology that he can make someone look and sound like someone else.
• I liked that Skye was seen multiple times this episode looking further into the alien writing because she can sense that Coulson and May are hiding something important from her and she intends to find out what that is.
• I liked that Coulson's plan is that when things get really bad is to have May shoot him in the head and have her replace him as the head of Shield.
• I liked that Fitz was able to make sure that the plane didn't blow up and I liked that he was able to bond with Lance and Mack at the end of the episode because of this and show that he could make new friends and move on.
• I liked that May's plan for what happens if things with Coulson gets really bad was to get him out and away from everyone else so that she could keep him safe although Coulson rejects her idea.
• I was so very concerned for Raina at the end of the episode when Whitehill threaten to killer her slowly unless she gets the obelisk back to him and I think it's a bad sign that I was most emotionally invested in Raina who while I love her dearly is a villain and I really shouldn't care about her more than the main characters but I was so very concerned about her well being.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: Making Friends and Influencing People(2.03)

                   Agents of Shield: Making Friends and Influencing People(2.03)Review

• I'm not surprised at all to see that hydra scifi brainwashes people although it's still not pleasant to see.
• I liked that we got see Simmons being cheerful and happy even though she was working undercover in a hydra lab. Also I find it interesting that hydra looks like a much nicer and less shady place to work than Shield does currently.
• It disturbs me that Skye said that she imagines the targets as Ward not only because a short time ago she did love him but also because that shows that she actually does desire to hurt people with how she's imagining the target as a person and I just don't think that's a healthy way at all for her to be handling her job, I'm glad that May told her that she should only think of the targets as targets.
• I liked that everyone is giving Lance a hard time about shooting them and that he said he was sorry a bunch of times.
• I liked that it was mentioned that Skye has yet to kill anyone because it's pretty hard to tell this season if she had because she's so different than she was last season.
• I felt bad for Donnie who was just trying to live his life a way from the whole Hydra-Shield mess but Hydra just wouldn't let him go.
• I thought that it was nice that Coulson checked up on Simmons and then made her dinner.
• I liked that Simmons was annoyed that she wasn't advancing as quickly as she expected that she would in Hydra.
• I don't think that the team really understands what Ward did since when Simmons tells Coulson she doesn't want to lie like Ward did he tells her to tell half truths instead and well that's exactly what Ward did not to mention that he was working undercover to gather intel which is exactly what Simmons is doing now so she does have to do Ward's job.
• I like that Fitz was actually at the team meeting and that when he had a bit of a hard time explaining himself that Mack was their to support him and assured them that they would work things out.
• I liked that Ward made clear that he was never loyal to Hydra only to Garrett and I liked that he also made clear that he doesn't blame Garrett for the what he's done, although I don't agree with him on this front I think that it's good that he's taking responsabilty for his actions since I believe that's one of the first steps to redemption.
• I hated how Skye brought up Ward's family basically to just trivialize a lifetime of abuse to say that she believes some lies she read on the internet solely because that would hurt him I just think that this kind of behavior crosses the line between rightly anger and cruel but on the plus side it was nice of Ward to not react in anger that would've been perfectly justified but he didn't.
• I don't understand why Skye thought that she treated Ward like a person during this conversation because to be honest she hasn't treated him like a person since episode 1.20.
• I don't understand why Skye was so disgusted that Hydra would kill an out of control gifted when that as literally been Shield's policy since the very beginning of this show and her thinking that Shield as the moral high ground here just shows she has no idea who she's working for.
• I both like and am worried that Simmons despite working undercover is still a terrible liar.
• I liked how Simmons told the Hydra guy that she is only loyal to science and I kind of wish that this was true instead of her being undercover.
• I liked that Fitz was sure that the team was keeping things from him and how he was determined to find out what they were keeping from him.
• I liked that Hydra brought Simmons with to get Donnie because they thought that her presence would be comforting and therefore it would be easier to bring him in.
• I liked that Fitz actually told hallucination Simmons to go away so that he could confront Ward.
• I both liked and was sad by the fact that Ward was happy to see Fitz despite not expecting anything good to come out there conversation.
• I felt bad for Fitz when he was having a panic attack and I liked how clearly concern Ward was for him and how he wanted to help but couldn't.
• I liked how Ward confirmed that he wasn't trying to kill Fitz and Simmons but rather doing the only thing he could to save them although I understand why Fitz doesn't think of what Ward did as saving.
• While I understand Fitz being anger and wanting to hurt Ward I think that he was wrong to deprive Ward of oxygen and I believe that if Ward didn't give information to Fitz about Donnie that he would have killed him and that is in no way okay.
• I liked how even when he was dying that Ward's thoughts were only about helping Skye and the team even though they've been nothing but awful to him all season it's still both nice and sad to see how much he cares about them.
• I liked how both Hydra and Shield had the same goals when it came to Donnie either capture and use him or kill him if we can't get him I like this because it shows that at this point in time that Shield really isn't better than Hydra.
• I find it very concerning and worrisome that when Skye shot and killed Donnie that her heart rate didn't go up at all and she overall didn't seem to have any real reaction to it and she really should've.
• I liked that Skye more or less said that she misses the way things were before because it's one of the extremely few signs of the old Skye that we've seen this season.
• I liked that Skye said that she was worried about Simmons working undercover because she's a horrible liar.
• I think that it was wrong of Coulson to not tell Fitz that the reason Simmons left was because she's on assignment because instead he let Fitz think that Simmons left because she no longer cares for him which no doubt ended up hurting Fitz's progress. I also think that it was wrong for Coulson to not tell Fitz that he was keeping Ward on the base because that's something I feel that Fitz had the right to know about.
• I really don't understand at all why Coulson hates Ward so much and is taking what happened so personally since they were never close in first place honestly the only thing I can think of is that Coulson is taking out on Ward all the pain and hurt he felt because of Garrett's betrayal and Shield's fall which is unprofessional, petty and just plain wrong.
• I liked that Skye went to Ward not because she had to but because she wanted to and I liked how she asked him if he was brainwashed because it shows how badly she wanted the answer to be yes although Ward could never answer her correctly because if you're brainwash you don't know you are. I personally think that Ward was real world brainwashed by Garrett through abuse and conditioning but he doesn't know that so he tells he wasn't.
• I liked that Skye admits that she does believe Ward is telling the truth even though she doesn't understand why and I liked that Ward tells her that it's because he needs her to believe him when he tells her about her father.
• I don't understand why Ward thinks it would be a good idea to bring Skye to her father but my guess would be that he knows how badly she wants to know about her parents that he thinks that it would make her happy but I don't think it's for any bad reason like some people might think.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: Heavy is the Head(2.02)

                                     Agents of Shield: Heavy is the Head(2.02)Review

• I thought it was nice of Lance to tell May to go after Kreel and the 084 rather than rescue him the car wreck.
• I liked how when Skye told Coulson about the symbols being on the 084 and he dismissed the importance of that she was upset by that and I liked that she worried about Isabelle but I disliked how Coulson didn't tell her that Isabelle died.
• I think that Talbot made a lot of good points when he was telling Lance all the reasons that he should turn on Coulson because Lance has every reason to turn on Coulson and pretty much no reason not to.
• I'm not surprised at all that Skye seems to be taking Simmons leaving as abandonment of them all given her back ground.
• I liked how Mack decided that he would talk to Fitz like he would any other person and I liked how he decided to help Fitz out with his work.
• I liked that Skye was mad at Coulson for hiding stuff from her even though she's not entirely sure what it is or if he's really hiding something from her. I liked that Skye told Coulson that compartmentalizing isn't healthy and I wished she'd take her own advice.
• I liked that Fitz saw the information on Kreel and I thought up ways to stop him and then he remembered that it was something he had already solved last season.
• I liked that hallucination Simmons was attracted to Mack because I just found that amusing and I liked that she pointed out that Mack doesn't treat Fitz in the way everyone else does and that Fitz appreciates that.
• I liked that Coulson did at least take some accountability for Isabelle's death because he should and he hardly ever takes accountability for anything ever and I really wish he did more often.
• I find it interesting that Kreel was affected by the 084 even though he turned his skin into something else when he picked it up.
• I liked that Lance was mad at Coulson for his orders that led to Isabelle's death but I disliked how Coulson was able to convince him that it was Lance's fault that she died not his because that's just untrue.
• I liked that Lance wanted his pay and wanted to get the hell out of Shield because there really is no reason to stay with Shield.
• I liked that when Skye said that Shield was her life no that Lance told her that it's just a job.
• I liked how Raina approached Kreel with a deal to get the 084 and how she made sure that he took a ring of a rare substance that had a tracker in it.
• I liked how Raina left a number for Shield to call so that she could have them get Kreel for her and I liked how she said she wasn't Hydra because their interested in world domination which is so 1943.
• I liked how Raina brought up the writing that Garrett did and I liked how she kind of called into question whether Coulson also has seen the writings.
• I liked that Lance wanted to be the one that killed Kreel in order to avenge Isabelle.
• I really loved that Fitz figuring out the device is what ended up saving the day in the end, especially since last episode Coulson called him useless and this episode he proved himself to be anything but.
• While I do like Lance and all it bothered me how Coulson said he was willing to give second chances to those who do the wrong thing for a good reason when he has a far more skilled and far more likely to follow orders man in the basement vault that he's leaving to rot because Coulson himself is vengeful and petty, I just don't think it makes sense for Coulson to offer Lance a second chance and not Ward.
• I'm upset that both May and Coulson are lying to Skye about something that affects her directly and I can't wait for it to blow up in their faces.
• I'm glad that at the very least May knows about Coulson's alien writing.
• I'm so glad that the 084 didn't kill Raina because I love her and I don't want to loose her anytime soon. I'm pretty frighten of Skye's father because he seems to have pretty good control over Raina who is usually always in control and I'm worried about him getting his hands on Skye.
• I thought Coulson sound a lot more reasonable when trying to convince Talbot that they work together but I'm still glad that Talbot rejected the offer because Coulson is still doing a lot of downright illegal and inhumane things in the name of Shield it just looked less awful this episode.
