SHIELD acts as a lead-in to Age of Ultron.
In a kind of anticlimactic way.
What of the narrative we have been following since Wards turn last year?
What of the conflict that brought us Cal Johnson, Whitehall, Bakshi, and Dr. All of a sudden, the central conflict of the show is being resolved in another medium.
It really was worthy of a rewind or two.
By missions end, Skye saved Lincoln from being dissected and was back with her teammates.
As for Coulson, we finally found out what Coulsons mission was.
He has been looking for Lokis staff this whole time, finally finding its whereabouts this week.
Dear, sweet, gentle Simmons brought her latest invention on the mission to save Lincoln and Deathlok.
She brought bombs crafted out of the obelisk that played such an important role earlier in the season.
Simmons tried to kill Ward who was saved at the last minute by Bakshi.
I guess she will never forgive the damage the rogue SHIELD agent did to Fitz.
What we are left with is a very strong, very changed woman who is losing her innocence.
Ward knew that he was a killer and a traitor, but he had real feelings for 33.
So it feels like moving forward,Agents of SHIELDwill focus on the continuation of the Inhumans saga.
Even with all the HYDRA vs. SHIELD action this week, we got some Inhumans tidbits.
Maybe a balance will be achieved in time forCivil War.
Rainas vision of rampaging metal men.
Doesnt take a precog to see where that is going.
Always nice to see Lokis scepter, but do we need another McGuffin?
Hello Maria Hill and well see you again this weekend.
