“Yes Men”

“End of the Beginning”

“Turn, Turn, Turn”

Hail Hydra!

The Agents of Shield TV program caught up with the MCU movies as the episode “Turn, Turn, Turn” came out the week after the release of Captain America: Winter Soldier, which revealed that Shield had been infiltrated by Hydra from the start. It was a massive change in the status quo of the series.

Agent Garrett was revealed to be, not only be Hydra, but also the Clairvoyant. The first half of the season was kind of wrapped up with this block of episodes.

Lady Sif (Jane Alexander) made an appearance in “Yes Men” to take on Lorelei. I am guessing that the show kind of made Lorelei and the Enchantress amalgam with this character. It was good to see Sif again.

Mike Peterson was back, fully designated as Deathlok. He turned into quite a handful too.

Seeing Grant Ward turn and shoot the other Shield agents and Victoria Hand was still shocking. It just felt like it came out of left field and I wonder when he became aware of his character’s duplicitous nature. It seemed as if he were loyal to Coulson and had real feelings for Skye, but having nobody in Coulson’s team a part of Hydra would have seemed weird. It certainly wasn’t going to be Fitz or Simmons. With Coulson out, the only choices were Ward or May. It was fun too when the show was trying to make May look like the traitor, but I am glad that they did not make her the Hydra sleeper agent.

With Shield destroyed in the MCU, everything changed for this series, and this was the start of the switch. Poor Skye just got her official Shield badge and now it is gone.
