The Agents of Shield worked their way through several missions over these four episodes.

We get some inner depth from May and Ward… not only with their background, but with their own little tryst. We more of the story behind the “Cavalry” nickname as well as Skye’s mysterious parents.

We met an Asgardian who had been on earth for centuries and his staff that causes the wielder to gain super strength while building their rage.

Mike Johnson is brought back to show his current state, training for his super strength.

Coulson is continuing to have questions and doubts about Tahiti, which is, of course, a magical place.

We had a cameo from Shield Agent Sitwell. Again, with the knowledge I have now, I know that Sitwell was a Hydra agent inside Shield, so when Simmons tased him into unconsciousness, it felt like justice.

Raina and Centipede return again to try to keep building super soldiers using the Extremis power. At the end of episode 10, Raina kidnapped Coulson after a failed hostage swap. Centipede is curious as to how Coulson died, but came back.

These episodes are fine, but, looking back, it was clear that the show had to balance up the timing with the revelations of Captain America: Winter Soldier. I wonder when they knew that Ward would be part of Hydra because there are so many things in these episodes that would make you think that he was anything but a traitor.

Agents of Shield is a lot of fun and has some great stories being told.
