This episode was pretty much near perfect, when I watched it
I was all wrapped up in it, but after a day of reflection there was one fundamental
flaw in this episode, and it was just one aspect, the speed of one reveal. Yes the speeds been a factor in episodes prior
and I have loved these episodes, but I would have liked one specific moment to
have been stretched ever so slightly. SPOILER WARNING, for those who have yet
to watch this week’s new episode.
5. Fitz + Simmons
Sitting in a Tree!

So last week we had hope which meant this week we had to
have a conflicted Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge). There tale begins with
Simmons being angry at Fitz (Iain de Caestecker) for being so nice and
understanding about the whole Will (Dillion Casey) thing. She storms out the
lab only to be followed by a very angry Fitz. She finds out he is not happy
about the entire love triangle situation, Fitz believes that they are cursed
and then we eventually get to see them have a very passionate kiss. Then we
think these kids may have a chance until Simmons spots the upside down symbols
on a book on the floor, which I will be talking about later in this thread. But
as it stands for FitzSimmons, I will knock both their heads together, even if I
have to travel into the fictional land created by Marvel.
4. Hunter the Hacker

Can I just point out firstly how much I laughed at Hunter’s
(Nick Blood) t-shirt, it was rather giggle worthy. So as Rosalind is having a
tour of the SHIELD headquarters, Bobbi (Adrianne Palicki) and Hunter go undercover
inside the ATCU. Hunter is acting as Daisy (Chloe Bennet) puppet and is faced
with trying to hack his way into the ACTU’s system, one letter at a time. Bobbi
is charged with what I’d like to call snooper duty as she leaves Hunter with Steve
the I.T guy, and goes off to search the rest of the facility. I shall be
talking about what she finds later in this thread.
3. Malick V Ward

So at the start of this episode Gideon Malick (Powers Booth)
tries to kill our beloved Ward (Brett Dalton). In true evil Ward style though
he takes out whatever Booth throws at him and then tries to torture the
location of the Von Strucker vault out of Gideon’s men. He succeeds and finds
himself on his way to Germany, where he also takes out a plane, all because he
couldn’t get a direct flight. When then see him breaking into the Von Strucker
vault, to find Gideon Malick there waiting for him, but he won’t kill Ward,
instead he makes him a deal, was this all just a test?
2. Coulson V
Rosalind

So Coulson (Clark Gregg) isn’t as stupid as we all thought.
He’s had his eye on Rosalind (Constance Zimmer) since they met, and it all
comes down to T.A.H.I.T.I. He shows her around the headquarters, they flirt and
as they get close he locked her in a safe room and starts asking her a load of
questions. She knew about T.A.H.I.T.I, which meant is she didn’t know anyone
inside of shield that she indeed was hydra. Turns out she was told this
information by Gideon Malick, who works in the science division, of the ACTU.
The pieces begin to fall and it turns out that Rosalind isn’t working with
hydra, or at least she doesn’t know that hydra has infiltrated the ACTU. Now
this is the part I was talking about above, if they stretched this reveal out a
little bit more I would have been satisfied, but then again who is to say she
is telling the truth.
1. Brotherhood of
the Spear

So it turns out that Hydra is older than anyone could have
imagined. Agents of Shield has rewritten Hydra’s history meaning that Red Skull wasn’t
the founder of Hydra and everything we know about Hydra’s founding has been
false. The most powerful/ First Inhuman was sent off to the same planet we saw
Simmons on. The Brotherhood of the Spear a.k.a Hydra’s main goal is to bring
this Inhuman back and rule beside it. They have been sending this Inhuman
sacrifices for years, including Will’s astronaut team. The ATCU’s science
division is turning people into Inhumans to help fight side by side with the
first inhuman, and they need shield as by bringing back Simmons, they became
the first people to do this. Simmons figures out the connection in the upside
down books and Bobbi finds the Inhuman cocoons at the ATCU.
Questions I had
while watching:
- So does this mean that Will was a member of Hydra, or was he just a sacrifice?
- Who could this Inhuman be? When Gideon was talking about the Inhuman all I could think about was Apocalypse from the X-Men.
- Why would Hydra want this Inhuman back on Earth, look what it did to that Paradise.
I have no idea who the Inhuman is. I have been reading a lot
of speculation suggesting it could be Karnak, but I am not convinced. Does anyone else this that Simmons will have to
make the choice, destroy the Monolith and save the world or use it to save
Will. Maybe I’ve been playing too many role playing games recently, but I just
feel like the show is headed in this direction. There is no new episode next
week, but check out the promo for the next episode below.
