Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Who You Really Are

Lady Sif (Jaimie Alexander) returns to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., although the Asgardian warrior is hardly herself for most of the episode given an incredibly convenient level of amnesia that allows the plot to unfold but doesn’t rob her of skills and periphery knowledge necessary to understand and track down the arrival of a Kree warrior (Eddie McClintock) on Earth. Obvious to everyone except Coulson’s team, the Kree’s mission will eventually tie back to the Terrigen Crystal and the underground city where Skye was transformed into something other than human.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – Aftershocks

After two months off the air Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns to deal with the ramifications of the mid-season finale. “Aftershocks” is a mixed bag opening with one of most awkward scenes of the entire series (seriously, I’ve seen infomercials with better acting) involving the introduction of another Inhuman (Jamie Harris) and revealing what role Jiaying (Dichen Lachman) played in the group before her death.

Marvel's Agent Carter - Valediction

Agent Carter‘s season finale showcases the strengths and weaknesses of the show’s First Season. Despite offering Peggy (Hayley Atwell) some actual field work and acknowledgement from her comrades in the SSR, the season ends with yet another reminder of the times and circumstances Peggy finds herself stuck in suggesting little will change should the show return for a Second Season. The final scene involving Peggy and Angie‘s (Lyndsy Fonseca) future living arrangements (the exact arrangements Peggy turned down in the Pilot) suggests we may see more of Fonseca should the show return but I’m not sure that’s enough to bring me back for another go around.

Marvel's Agent Carter - SNAFU

With next week being the season finale and last week seeing Peggy (Hayley Atwell) discovered and arrested by her own colleagues “SNAFU” is the episode everything has been leading up to… with, as we come to expect, mixed results. Peggy’s guilt or innocence is eventually sussed out through a convoluted hour where Dr. Ivchenko (Ralph Brown) lays his hands on the Stark invention Leviathan is so enamored with and the SSR team suffers another loss. Once again Peggy’s colleagues blindly stub their toes for most of the episode believing her to be a traitor in league with Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) which actually seems far more plausible than her list of actions over the course of the previous six episodes.

Marvel's Agent Carter - A Sin to Err

Three-fourths of the way through its up-and-down eight-episode run Agent Carter finally turns a corner by catching Peggy (Hayley Atwell) and the various agents of the SSR on events and plotlines the audience has been fully aware of for weeks. Last week’s episode returning the Howling Commandos from Captain America: The First Avenger shuck a bit of the rust off the show by giving Peggy an opportunity to prove herself in the field far from the oppressive confines of the SSR. It also introduced Dottie (Bridget Regan) as an agent of Leviathan which is further explored here.
