Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Episode 10 Review
***SPOILER ALERT**
The mid-season finale to Agents of SHIELD was certainly an explosive one. After a solid nine episodes of set-up (not including Coulson's death in Avengers Assemble (2012)), finally it seems to all come together. Raina and Michael Peterson return, along with a rather shifty character seen at the end of episode five. Centipede is behind all this. They have perfected the extremis/super soldier serum and were responsible for the robotic eye implants. It seems almost everything seen so far has been leading up to this.
The episode focussed heavily on Michael Peterson from the Pilot episode, which I thought was a little too much at first, but as the credits rolled I knew very well why. Killed off in a traditional Joss Whedon manner. Why can't Steven Moffat be like that? His death scene was a definite shock, as was the entire ending to the episode.
Its definitely clear that there is something suspicious about Skye's parents and the agent who gave her to the orphanage, and it seems to be annoying Agent May a lot, so much so that she accidentally tells Skye she's been lied to. May is a character I try to like more, but as the series progresses I dislike her more and more, as she is a nasty character with the odd one-liner, but there is no justified reason that is fully explained, and as for Ward and Simmons, I just hope they improve as Fitz has.
Skye is definitely a character that has grown as the series has gone on, and it appears that only her and Coulson are of any interest as people and in terms of background. Fitz didn't do a lot in this episode, which was a shame.
Overall an excellent episode and I look forward to the next half of the series. 9/10
