When last left our heroes, Simmons wass gone. Again. This time, Fitz is bending over backwards to bring her back from the distant planet Simmons was sent to. The magical monolith is a portal. And it was billions of years old. It was meant to bring back an ancient being that transcends itself into another human being. Sounds familiar. More on that WAY later.
Let's the Inhuman/X-Men nail on the head even harder. A third party is creating a cure for the Inhumans. That is until the head of the group, who is also Coulson's new flame, gets cut down. Coulson gets revenge on Ward, but it literally comes back to haunt him. The ancient being took possession of Ward's body and follows them back to the portal. He amasses what's left of Hydra, kills Gideon Malick, that you completely forgot about (psst, he's from The Avengers), and creates an army of discount Dark Elves using Daisy's blood. Everything comes to a head once again with someone wanting to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. and someone having to sacrifice themselves because they were destined to. But hey, at least Fitz and Simmons are still together.
This season had some promising adventures. Simmons manages to get back from the distant planet by measuring the stars. May's ex turned into the love child of Alice Cooper and the demon from Legend. Daisy gets visions from a homeless man that involves her boyfriend. That last one, this show managed to make you feel for a secondary character nobody loves, and DAMN IT! It worked! That's more than what Agent Tripplett got. That's more than what Alash Cooper got. That's more than what Bobbi and Hunter got, and they didn't even die. They were forced to retire because they claimed they no affiliation with any agency when they were caught, and S.H.I.E.L.D. had to allow it so they don't get killed. but the fact that they don't get killed let's you know that they'll be back. They didn't show up again this season, but maybe next season, when we've forgotten about them.
The show felt a little bad last season for being too loud about its tie-in to the movies. So, this season it was subtle again. There was a mention of Ant-Man and one episode opened up after Captain America: Civil War.
This season was a little more focused rather than all over the place, like last season, which is a good thing. Coulson and Company seem to be pulling it together, even if it got off on a rough start.
Towards the end, it did start trailing off a bit. Possessed Ward there sways the Inhumans to do his bidding, including Daisy. Ward also buys an abandoned town in Wyoming where Discount James Cameron, trying to be an Englishman who speaks with a Scottish accent, recreates the experiment that was worked on him. Time out. He's not a god? What a big letdown. Then when Lincoln sacrifices himself and traps Ward on the Quinjet in space, Ward kind of accepts it. <sighs> Whatever.
Then Daisy freaks out about the death of Lincoln and goes on a Quaking spree destroying infrastructure. But then Coulson and Company were tailing her until they lose her in an alley, and Coulson says "call the Director." Wait, what? Coulson's not the director anymore? Who is? Initially, I thought of May. May would be a good director. Then after hours of thought, what if Daisy leads a double life? She's Director Daisy Johnson by day, and Quake by night. Then I thought, Oh God, it's General Talbot, the most patriotic man since General Kimsey in Armageddon. I'm still waiting for Talbot to be Hydra.
I hope you liked this. Be sure to subscribe and leave a comment about what you thought or if you want to recommend a movie for me to review. Thank you for reading. I'll return on Friday with another movie. See you then.
