Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Season 2, Episode 19 Review

This week on Agents of SHIELD its all about forgiveness - Skye's mother forgiving Cal, the team not forgiving Ward for his betrayal, and how this can lead down darker paths. Ward even manages to show how much Simmons has changed from the end of Season 1, with her becoming more violent to try and kill Ward.
It was nice to see the old team back together, even if it was only for part of the episode, as the scenes between them were the highlight of the episode, and one of the highlights of the season so far. The planning scene on the bus was fantastic to watch for all the glares at Ward, and the final gag of the scene did make me chuckle.
It also showed how far the characters have come since the Pilot, even if it shows how quickly the series has got through these arcs.
The tie-ins to Avengers: Age of Ultron were good, with Loki's sceptre and Ultron being set up through Coulson retrieving data on Strucker's Sokovia base for Maria Hill.
Overall though, the episode was a fantastic piece of character-driven story, even if it felt a little underwhelming in length, with some great acting and a fantastic CGI plane crash sequence to top it all off. 8/10
