One of the worst Agents Of Shield episodes of them all

[jack-mcneill · 7/10 · 2 August 2014]

May I just say, after watching this episode, I almost gave up on this show.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I didn't- the last seven episodes totally rocked, but this episode is terrible.

First of all, Agents of Shield is a great show, but it's not a horror/mystery/thriller. This episode tries to be one, and falls short of the mark. A guy that suddenly turns up randomly? We all know that there's no way they'll kill off one of the characters this early in the show after FZZT, so stop acting like they might die.

Secondly, the fact that this guy likes the girl he's haunting makes him seem like a totally ridiculous bumbling idiot. How could you not notice you're killing people? He can't be that distracted by love he can't even realize the damage he's creating.

Then there's the fact he's trapped between dimensions. Why did no one get trapped during Thor 2? Or the previous episode? That makes no sense.

I appreciated May's back-story of being the Cavalry, and Skye's New Testament view of the Bible, but everything else was terrible.

Skye and May Character Developments!

[ShelbyTMItchell · 8/10 · 3 December 2013]

A young woman has been or may have been to blame as she works as a safety inspector. And has some kind of telekinetic powers that she has. As SHIELD has to arrest her. As Hannah, her name has killed or maybe had killed up to four people.

May plays the bad cop with her while Phil is the good cop. As Skye sees her as a lost cause. And tries to be all sweet and nice. Skye also has a problem with May. Whom really despite liking the actress Ming-Na a lot, really May is my least favorite character. But she went up a notch a bit of respect and like in this episode.

Something in May's past and why she did not like being called the Calvary. As May tells Skye to give the benefit of the doubt to May. Despite the fact Fitz and Simmons told the story and pranked Skye on May's past as also Ward telling Skye to lay off May a bit as well. Until Phil set her straight about May.

Hopefully May will be a little more human. Find nothing wrong with Skye as she is kind of a cutie. Don't know why people have had a problem with her in the past.

A missed opportunity

[blparker-31738 · 7/10 · 24 March 2019]

When I first saw this episode it was just an average one that seem to about another powered person to index. Now that I have seen it after watching the entire series the episode feels like a missed opportunity. The images that Simmons sees of the particle accelerator explosion is clearly an image from Maveth, the same planet Simmons is trapped in at the start of season 3. They could have connected this episode with those future episodes but instead just brushed it under the rug after season 1.

Re-watch thoughts

[noorea-85147 · 4 January 2019]

The first time watching, I wasn't a big fan of this episode, but this is one episode where nostalgia hits you when you re-watch it after 5 seasons, Fitzsimmons innocent pranking got me teary eyed knowing what the future holds for those two, the hints at May's backstory just highlights how good this show is at laying groundwork then pay it off much later...yeah the episode itself is still average, but I loved it more this time around.

We were the welcome wagon

[jhudson-11704 · 7/10 · 29 July 2017]

Shield had an episode today that they sort of had a horror element thrown in. With a disappearing madman in the plane, it got kind of spooky, with the power off and the team scattered.

The "ghost", Tobias Ford, said that he was sent to Hell, although I kind of like the theory that he was sent to Hel, the Asgardian version of it that actually exists. It would be a nice little reference to it and it actually kind of looked like a hellscape when Simmons was looking into the blast.

I liked how they looked more into the backstory of May and how she got the moniker "the Cavalry". I liked how Coulson defended her and how he himself was there when it happened. While we just got the story of what happened to May, there is still more that can be revealed because the story sounds really interesting: May going into an enemy compound, alone and unarmed, defeats the threat and stops the powered person. How it messed her up is really curious and I really want to know more. While it was good to have an inkling into her backstory it would have been nice to see the whole thing in a flashback.

I also didn't like all of the God stuff brought up. It's fine to have someone's faith explored but it just seemed like too much. First off, the world knows that Thor and his people actually exist and you think, like last episode, more people would believe in Norse mythology since it is literally real. I can sort of understand that she would think "Well if their gods exist, why can't mine" but it just took up way too much of her character that I found it annoying.

+ Spooky setting + Possible Thor 2 connection with Hel + Insight into May - Although more would be nicer - The whole god talk was a nuisance

Final Score: 7.6/10

A day in Hell for a lowly Particle Accelerator Worker

[XweAponX · 10/10 · 1 December 2013]

A woman "Hannah" - Played by _____?- a safety inspector for a particle accelerator, has been blamed for an accident that killed four people in a small Jesusy town. For a town full of Churchers, these people don't seem to grasp the concept of Forgiveness. And as one guy in a fast food store finds out, he should leave the woman alone, unless of course he wants to get pelted by cans of food and sundries that seem to be hitting him in the head by telekinesis.

As there is no full cast list for this episode yet, I can't say who this girl was, the one who was blamed. But when S H I E L D comes to find out what happened, the whole town is harassing the woman as if she were a one-woman Planned parenthood Clinic. In other words, acting like regular Jesusers. One of my old Pastors used to say it - Never be known as a people, for what you OPPOSE, only for the good you do, so this whole town gets an F-Minus in Christian Charity.

They get bombarded with police cars for their trouble and May has to use one of Fitz' knockout pellets.

The question is, has the woman gained some kind of Telekinetic Power from this accident? It originally seems like this is the case but the woman says not - she says it is a Demon sent to make trouble, because God is not protecting her anymore. And she blames herself for the accident.

Wrong on both counts, so - What IS causing circuits to be ripped out, Antenna to be busted on the S H I E L D Plane (which is getting better and better with the CGI)?

Fitz-Simmons, or at least the Simmons half, finds an answer to this - They had been using the Particle Accelerator to open Odin's broken Rainbow Bridge.

But the lowly woman never saw the first Thor movie and/or wasn't around New Mexico when some huge Destroyer wrecked the whole town, so she has to simplify the explanation for herself: She thinks God has abandoned her. But as much as she may think GOD no longer is protecting her - Someone, or some THING is.

At first it appears to be the wrong thing to do, for Coulson to have May talk this woman down. But in the end, it was the right decision.

And we get to hear how that "Cavalry" thing about May got started. But in this case, the story starts out big and ends small instead of the other way around.

Skye puts the religious aspect back into perspective, because for all of the blustering in The Old Testament Bible about the Wrath of God, these people forget the main tenet: The LOVE of God. And also why they call those testaments OLD and NEW, eh? And it was that exact aspect of God's Love - Not His Wrath, that solves this thing.

Blasphemous

[iwishiwerenot · 1/10 · 10 September 2018]

The entire episode seems to be aimed at mocking Christianity. As far as I could tell, only two people were professed Christians. One, a girl, was in a state of constant distress claiming to be haunted by demons as punishment for her sins; and the other, a guy, was claiming to have been in hell as punishment for his. The guy is doing all sorts of violence to people to "protect" the girl so that she would forgive his sins. Both are apparently crazy. Ski comes along and is portrayed as the sensible one as she tells the girl that she hasn't sinned, that no one deserves punishment for sins, and speaks derogatorily of nuns "scaring" children by telling them they need God's forgiveness. This speech is started with the statement that she doesn't really believe in God.

Some of this doctrine in this show wouldn't bother me so much if it were the bad guys saying God doesn't exist and the good guys saying he does, but in this episode, the "good" sympathetic characters, the ones you're supposed to know and like, say that Christianity is children's stories, while the lunies, who aren't even acting in a Christian manner, are talking about God and sins. This has the obvious effect of making a mockery of all such beliefs as sins, redemption, God etc. because it is expressed in a heretic manner by crazy people.

Bruh

[markheath-69053 · 1/10 · 22 June 2023]

At the end when may says something along the lines of God can't forgive you. I mean come on the ending could have been so much more than that. I know it was 2013 at the time but come on. You didn't have to s*** on Christianity like that. Also the fact that a movie review on this website has a mandatory character limit is ridiculous. Imagine how much more feedback one could get about a movie or TV series if you didn't have to write a whole high school level essay on it. Even if you wanted to add a character limit for maybe a bot security it should be as many characters as it is. Anyways that my 2 cents.
