Dang, I missed one!

I feel bad about not reviewing every episode in order. Last week, I watched ABC but I saw something with Donald Trump so I assume there wasn't any new episode. I guess it was just a commercial or something. I'm at least back to review this episode! What makes this one so great is that we get so much screen time to the individual characters. It's great that the focus is on Ghost Rider. We get some great dialogue from Agent Coulson. It features him saying he doesn't believe this guy made a deal with the Devil because any gods that have appeared in the Marvel Universe are just aliens. This is really an interesting and realistic take on the way their world works.

We also get to see some more parts with the robot! I was disappointed that it seemed like they were abandoning her story line. This has Fitz as some of his best. There's even a nice fight scene at the end, but it is a bit too brief. At least we get to see this guy shine. Well, literally as he's engulfed in flames. It's weird as I always thought his costume here looks more like the Punisher. I guess it's hard to fully judge this as I didn't see the previous one, but it's still great. Daisy gets some nice development too. ***1/2

This episode is the kind that can be used to prove that fan service can be good sometimes, because we had the GR car vs. Lola car chase that fan wanted and it was awesome! I don't even care for car chases but I loved this one! We also have the return of James, which served as a strong thematic point of view, up to this point we don't really understand what Daisy feels now that Hive's sway is gone for a long time, James offers context and it is heartbreaking! Loved seeing Daisy and Jemma work together. Jemma was the MVP of this episode I thought the way she handled everything that came her way this episode was great, especially with Fitz were they handle their issues like adults! she really stepped up her game this season. Oh and Ghost rider continues to be THE COOLEST! seeing him with the chains gave me goosebumps.
