Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Failed Experiments

If you can’t control humans then turn them all into super-heroes you can control. “Failed Experiments” not only reveals the origins of Hive (Brett Dalton) as a Kree experiment but also the creature’s current plans to continue that experiment and transform all humans into Inhumans who he has the power to control. As evil plans go, giving everyone super-powers doesn’t rank all that high. Of course the fact that the experiment doesn’t work and is killing all his test subjects is a hurdle. The episode also teases the idea that part of Daisy (Chloe Bennet) is fighting Hive’s control, although we don’t see much evidence of that when she’s beating Mack (Henry Simmons) half to death to protect the plans of her new best pal.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Paradise Lost

“Paradise Lost” turns out to be mostly filler and set-up as the episode explores the past of Gideon Malick (Powers Boothe) through extended flashback sequenes and sets the stage for nearly all of S.H.I.E.L.D. to be captured by Giyera (Mark Dacascos). With Daisy (Chloe Bennet) and Lincoln (Luke Mitchell) off on their own mission talking to a former member of Afterlife, it will apparently fall to these two and the rest of the Secret Warriors to save the lives of their friends.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Spacetime

After months skulking around the shadows, Hydra finally reemerges to make its move by abducting and Inhuman straight from the clutches of S.H.I.E.L.D. The only thing the team has working for it is Daisy‘s (Chloe Bennet) brief encounter with the man who imparts a dark vision of the day to come which Coulson (Clark Gregg) attempts to take steps to prevent. The team even goes over the events of upcoming battle second by second attempting to get an edge in the fight which Daisy saw in her vision. However, as Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) points out, you can’t fight the future.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Parting Shot

It appears Marvel is following DC’s lead, at least on television. Marvel scrapped their original plans for a Bobbi (Adrianne Palicki) and Hunter (Nick Blood) spin-off, but the success of new DC shows like Supergirl and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow seems to have pushed the House of Ideas into reconsidering those plans. “Parting Shot” says farewell to the two characters with a mission in Siberia that goes wrong fast. Choosing to take the blame themselves rather than allow S.H.I.E.L.D. to face scrutiny from the Russian Government, the pair are forced to cut ties with their friends.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Inside Man

Hydra scores a victory against S.H.I.E.L.D. in “Inside Man” as the illusive Gideon Malick (Powers Boothe) remains one-step ahead of Coulson (Clark Gregg) and his team. Attending the Symposium on the Alien Contagion in Taiwan in hopes of discovering Malick’s inside man, Coulson is betrayed by General Talbot (Adrian Pasdar) in a way that allows Malick to worm his way into the graces of the Russian representative (Ravil Isyanov) and secure a home for Inhumans far from the prying eyes of the rest of the world. Likely more important for what it sets up than the events of the episode itself, “Inside Man” is an okay episode but a large percentage of the plot is directed towards events that may, or may not, pay off somewhere down the line. Also, Coulson’s entire role at the conference (as the sole scientist) is odd as is the fact that multiple world leaders are apparently happy to attend an unsecured event without any of their own security.
