The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rewatch

Yawn. stretch.  Oh don’t mind me just waking up at 6 am in my pristine apartment so I can run on my treadmill in front of my bay windows and then pick out one of the pressed outfits hanging in my closet.  Okay no I could never, but Jemma Simmons remains the paragon of productivity… Read more: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rewatch: S2E3 “Making Friends and Influencing People”

So last episode was DARK.  Lets check in and see how my babies are dealing with the trauma.  — “Legitimate quotes look like this.”‘silly paraphrasing looks like this’Footnotes [1]look away! contain spoilers for future episodes  (personal tangents are notated in such a manner) —Hunter is trapped in the flipped car with his two dead friends. … Read more: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Season TWO!  THE SECOND OF THE SEASONS.  We’re to a new season.  Wow.  Who’d’ve thunk I woulda made it here? Not me. Just goes to show me that if I ignore all deadlines, I can achieve anything.  Oh right, I’m here for the show. Agents of SHIELD season 2. But what is SHIELD now?  Hydra has… Read more: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rewatch: S2E1 “Shadows”

That was it.  That was the first season.   It took me nearly 9 months to get here and it was quite a journey. What a good show.  What a great finale. It really covers all the bases.  They laughed. They cried. They punched, kicked, shot, and nailed a foot to the ground. They brought the… Read more: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rewatch: S1E22 “Beginning of the End”

Ah the penultimate episode of season 1.  How far we’ve come. I enjoy it.  A helluva lot goes down.  The first half of the episode is quite light and fun and pleasant compared to the traumatic shitshow that we end with. I love the oldtimey gadgets and undercover hijinks.  Then right as we’re getting comfortable… Read more: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rewatch: S1E21 “Ragtag”

Yeah sure it’s good. This one is fine and good. I like that Deathlok is back. Skye is serving fierce up and down the episode. I don’t have any strong feelings about Maria Hill, but it’s neat to see her again. Okay I feel like my feelings are “meh” – but! I found multiple “favorite”… Read more: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rewatch: S1E20 “Nothing Personal”

* Name:   Natalie June.  But is it?  Yeah probably* Eye Color: Hazel* Ever married? Naw* Immediate family: mom, dad, sisterside note: If I was the grandson of a Howling Commando, I’d have that tattooed on my chest.* What’s the difference between an egg and a rock? Egg fragile.

Okay so if you’re like me, you watched episode 17 and thought: dayum Fitz, yas Trip, mom and dad nooo, okay garrett, DAYUM WARD.   So episode 18 comes along and is meant to grab some of us by the hand and say “okay no but really…. it’s not just that your good boys are bad… Read more: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rewatch: S1E18 “Providence”

Oh boy. Ooohhh dear.  We’re here.  Here we are.  This is it.  This is the one.  I remember the moment I watched this episode for the first time.  I had been keeping the show on in the background for a few days while I did other things. The show was entertaining, and I liked a… Read more: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rewatch: S1E17 “Turn, Turn, Turn”

Okay okay okay.  You can feel this whole episode is on the verge of some…. Revelation perhaps.  It is very entertaining.  Once again we have new pairings amongst the agents which is always a marvelous opportunity for new character dynamics.   I loved Nash’s spooky monologue so much on this watch.  The tensity for the back… Read more: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rewatch: S1E16 “The End of the Beginning”

I do not like this episode.  This may be my least favorite episode of the series. However, I hated it so much after the first watch that I was surprised to find many good moments on this rewatch. I am going to go into a long diatribe here about my negative feelings before I get… Read more: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rewatch: S1E15 “Yes Men”

Skye has been shot! Twice! Oh the drama!  As per television convention, once Skye made it to the end of the previous episode with a breath in her body, I knew she wouldn’t be leaving us.  Though I’m not the kind of person that thinks ‘oh since I know how it ends, it can’t be… Read more: Agents of SHIELD Rewatch: S1E14 “T.A.H.I.T.I.”

As we round the bend, the passengers on the north side of the train can take in the views of … one of the best episodes of the season. Yas! I love this one. Things are about to get REAL. But first, they get FUN! Yay!  We’re on a train. I mean how fun is… Read more: Agents of SHIELD rewatch: S1E13 “T.R.A.C.K.S”

ooohhh seeds like ‘bad seeds’ got it. The main plot is a bit of a one-off story, but some vital Skye backstory is loosened in the background.  I do like Donnie Gill [1]so much so that I was disappointed that he only comes back for one more episode, but the whole ice machine plot isn’t… Read more: Agents of SHIELD rewatch: S1E12 “Seeds”

Okay kids, a lot goes down in this one.  Skye is on her own and she is useful every step of the way! This episode really got me onto the train of liking Skye. There is a nice evolution of the team’s work-together abilities. We get a hard-and-fast answer to the truth behind Tahiti.  This… Read more: Agents of SHIELD rewatch: S1E11 “The Magical Place”

Aight so the plot of this one is action-packed. The dialogue seemed a bit off this time around, though. They tried some jokes, but none of them really landed. However, I loved the return of a great character.  This episode is clearly setting up a punchy storyline. We’re gliding into a story arc instead of… Read more: Agents of SHIELD rewatch: S1E10 “The Bridge”

This episode is FINE okay? There are lots of good lil moments. I really enjoy the spooks and its not something we get a lot out of the show.  I was just really put off by the character who is crying for 100% of the episode and who cannot communicate to save her life.  The… Read more: Agents of SHIELD Rewatch: S1E9 “Repairs”

My memory of this one was not so positive.  In this show, I am more drawn to the espionage than I am to the magical mystical goings-on.  Watching a bunch of people scream with magical rage takes a bit more disbelief-suspending than I am used to.  However, I do appreciate having Dr. Jemma Simmons around… Read more: Agents of SHIELD rewatch: S1E8 “The Well”

I always looked back on this episode fondly.  In my memory, this was the one where we force a couple unique pairings amongst the team to get some new and dynamic interactions between characters.  But having to focus on the whole episode in order to do this recap, I was annoyed by a lot more… Read more: Agents of SHIELD rewatch: S1E7 ‘The Hub’

Oooooooh girl.  You know what time it is.  It’s time to get zapped.  I love this episode.  This was the first episode that let me know that this team of actors really had some range.  We get some emotional moments from the comic relief characters and it pays off in a big way.   This post… Read more: Agents of SHIELD Rewatch: S1E6 “FZZT”

I have watched season 1 a couple times and this episode is one I don’t think fondly on.  There is just too much time away from my beloved team.  But all of those scenes are not a total waste because they introduce a lovely recurring baddie.  Raina really boosts this episode up.  I don’t have… Read more: Agents of SHIELD Rewatch: S1E5 The Girl in the Flower Dress

Okay! It took me a while to get through this one. I’ve started looking forward to future episodes and storylines and this one doesn’t necessarily move anything along.  But to get to those, I have to get through these early more stand-alone stories.  But, this episode is not bad! It has everything: a robot eyeball,… Read more: Agents of SHIELD rewatch: S1 E4 “Eye Spy”

Wow I watched this episode twice before and had no idea what Franklin Hall’s whole deal was.  See this is why I needed this undistracted rewatch.  It’s already paying off. This episode has everything: a cute pink dress, wiggly bits, monkey talk, and Professor Quirrell. Lets set an electric charge to these pieces and see what… Read more: Agents of SHIELD rewatch: S1 E3 “The Asset”

This is the Pilot! This episode is all about forming the party.  We have to meet our Agents of SHIELD one-by-one to learn what each of them is all about. What roles will they be filling on our journey into mystery?  We find out by throwing them into a first mission.  This mission has it… Read more: Agents of SHIELD rewatch: S1 E1 ‘Pilot’

This is it. It’s what you’ve all been waiting for. It is time to recap, episode-by-episode, a television show that started 9 years ago and has been off the air for a year and a half. A show that, for the last several seasons, had a small (but active) fanbase.  I’m talkin about Agents of… Read more: Agents of SHIELD rewatch: an introduction
