Season two continues to be fire as multiple storylines are combining into some excellent action and storytelling.
Skye is reunited with her mother in Afterlife, the location where the Inhumans are living. Sure, there is not any of the named Inhumans like Black Bolt or Medusa, but there are several intriguing characters. We are introduced to Lincoln, who becomes more important in the Shield series.
Skye is training, trying to control her quake powers. I remember not being a fan of her changing her name but this time through, I am not bothered by it. While she has not officially changed to Daisy Johnson yet, I believe in it more. It could be that I actually spent more time with Daisy Johnson than Skye (Five more seasons).
The show was trying desperately to make Coulson look like he was dirty, keeping all these horrible secrets and even betraying those around him. I hate the idea that May seemingly is being convinced. Still, it is clear that Coulson is the hero that he always has been.
We get the final reveal about what happened with May in the situation that led to the nickname “The Cavalry” and why she hated that name so much. It was an emotional situation where she had to kill an Inhuman girl to save everyone. It changed May for the longest time, costing her May’s marriage and her ability to be in the field.
Ward back and “sort of” working with Coulson has provided some tense moments, including Fitz’s reaction. Hunter has his share of funny lines. I remember why I liked Hunter as much as I did.
Just four more episodes of season 2. Lots of things happening.
