Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Episode 2 Review
After a very promising start to the series, the second episode of Agents of SHIELD continues an interesting look into the shady company from The Avengers films. This episode has a little look into Coulson's early career when he meets an old friend in Peru, where the team discover Tesseract technology. However, it seems that Coulson's friends are now their enemies as they try to take the Tesseract weapon from SHIELD.
The episode does a really good job of following on from the pilot, and themes are continued, but in a way that doesn't ruin the story at all, and provides more fleshing out for the characters. The arguments show how different the characters are, but Agents Fitz and Simmons aren't as interesting or likeable as Skye, Coulson and Ward, making them the losers if fans take sides. The reveal is almost predictable, but Coulson works it out at the same pace as the audience, so Coulson doesn't come across as too intelligent or stupid but as equal intelligence to the audience. The show also makes use of its great production values and setting, although the plane being attacked is quite similar to Iron Man Three (2013), despite having a much more ingenious solution. Oh, and Nick Fury's cameo (it had to happen) is a funny and entertaining way to end the episode, and I'm glad they're adding on end scenes like the movies. Great entertainment. 8/10
