The penultimate episode of Agents of SHIELD is full of shocks and surprises.
Here’s our review…
In the flashbacks, we are privy to some hardcore training.
Inciting incidents include Garrett abandoning Ward in the woods for months with only a dog to keep him company.
This causes some tension between Garrett and Ward in the present.
Many fans guessed it, and presumably, its none other than Gabe Jones of the Howling Commandoes.
So, the last remnants of SHIELD must defeat HYDRA with the archaic tech of the original SHIELD agents.
Pretty cool circular storytelling there and a nice nod to Coulsons love of the classic spy game.
Thats oneAstonishing Taleright there.
Ironically, Tripletts gear, which is low-tech, good old-fashioned infiltration equipment, reveals Garretts greatest secret.
The ramifications of multiple Deathloks are stunning.
She reveals that she and Skye have something in common, now what can that be?
The mystery of Skye has gone from ponderous to legit intriguing the past few weeks.
Who woulda thunk it?
May admits she has intense emotions but uses them to complete her mission.
Skye admires the taciturn May as their relationship continues to evolve.
So glad he has been trumped in the villain department by the much more interesting Ward and Garrett.
Quinn may be dull, but Raina gets more interesting with every scene she is in.
She loses faith in him, because he is just a man who is scared to die.
Time to drag out some back issues to figure out what thats all about.
There are so many revelations, and we havent even hit the climax yet.
The agents arrive in Cuba, and Fitz and Simmons find the Bus.
Only trouble is, the plane is about to take off.
I cant help but believe Fitzs loyalty is about to be tested in the worst way possible.
Fitz uses Tripps grandfathers EMP joy buzzer to take out all electronics on the Bus, including Garrett.
A relic from SHIELDs past takes down their greatest known modern day enemy.
Gabe, Dum Dum, and the rest of the Howlers would be proud.
In the past, Garrett warns Ward not to become attached to anyone within SHIELD.
This time Ward does not show mercy and jettisons the beloved duo off the Bus.
Did Ward just do the unthinkable?
As a new threat is born, the agents are surrounded by a horde of Deathloks.
Marvel Moments
-Dr. Rom, huh?
-Cybertek was the corporation used in the first two Deathlok series as the creator of the cyborgs.
Its nice to see Agents of SHIELD using elements of the original Deathlok comics.
-Presumably, Tripps grandpa is none other than Gabe Jones.
Jones first appeared inSgt.
Jones has the distinction of being the first African American hero in the Marvel Universe.
Thats one heck of a legacy for Tripp.
