Its all competent enough but it didnt feel all that important.
I know that sounds like its the end of the episode, but really, the action just began.
You know how I said that Ivanov seemed terribly generic, tacked on, and uninspired?
During the melee, AIDA replaces Coulson, Mace, Daisy, and Mack with LMDs.
So Ivanov was a giant red herring.
A manufactured bad guy to distract SHIELD and the viewer as AIDAs master plan is revealed.
Damn son, thats some good storytelling.
Now, we get a paranoia-fueled thriller with Fitz and Simmons at the center of it all.
I also liked seeing a young, carefree May in the flashbacks this week.
Happy May takes a bit getting used to, but it is fun to see her so carefree.
Finally, AIDA turning into a great villain.
In a way, she is out-Ultroning Ultron.
Im looking forward to next week as Fitz and Simmons face off against the bots that replaced their friends.
Lets just hope all our human cast survives the encounter.
