Review: (Spoilers, duh.)
Honestly, this show wasn’t as I expected it when I first started watching, but I enjoyed it nevertheless, because of it’s little side sarcastic comments and jokes, especially from Coulson and Skye.
The first few episodes got me worried- it seemed to be the typical Miraculous-Ladybug-repetitive-plot-season (of course, the first episode with Mike Peterson would be a key part of the later plot, but we wouldn’t know that till later). Episode four got you hopeful, because it seemed interesting enough, but then crushed your hopes again in the next episode. (Even though it was a continuation of the Raina-Mike plot, it just didn’t interest me.)
That improved starting from episode 10 though. They started on the story of how Coulson was brought back to life, which was what we really wanted to know, since they kept hinting on it since the start.
Honestly, one of the best things about Agents of SHIELD is that there never ceases to be plot twists that reach into your chest and literally squeeze your heart. That episode when Skye almost died almost gave me a heart attack (even though we all knew that she wasn’t going to die this early anyway.)
Well, you thought that episode was bad? You were wrong. Prepare for the BIGGEST plot twist in TV show history(well, yeah, I don’t watch many TV shows.)!
WARD TURNING OUT TO BE HYDRA.
That part just gave me all the feels, because Skyeward was, and still is, one of my top 5 OTPs out of everything I’ve watched/read. I just loved them together SO MUCH, and they were only canon for like 1 episode before Skye found out and it all blew up in their faces. I mean, how could he be? Nothing except hints of his ‘dark past’ ever gave clues that he was actually evil, and he was very sincere throughout the whole season. (Remember when he touched that anciet Asgardian stick thing and got crazy, then told Coulson that he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to fulfill his duties because of the rage?) Also, I find this post fitting for Ward:
Also, the Garett-being-the-clairvoyant-thing was shocking, but not as shocking as Ward; I believe I started to guess it about an episode before it was revealed.
Fun Fact: Miles, Skye’s ‘ex-boyfriend’ in episode 5, was actually played by Chloe’s boyfriend in real life, Austin Nichols.
Memorable lines:
Maria Hill: What does S.H.I.E.L.D. stand for, Agent Ward?
Grant Ward: Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.
Hill: And what does that mean to you?
Ward: It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out “SHIELD.”

(Fitz gets sassy)
Fitz: Are you mental? I did explain what I meant using the Queen’s bloody English!
Ward: I use normal English. Words like “duck” and “run” and “might blow us to pieces.”
Fitz: Congratulations, Agent Ward, you managed to string three words together in a sentence.

(Skyewarddddd)
Skye: I don’t wanna ruin the moment…but I’m gonna have to respond with…G-4. Say it, Ward. Say it.
Ward:You sank my battleship.
–
Simmons: Working up a good sweat there, sir?
Coulson: I don’t sweat. I glisten.
–
Hill: Wow. I can’t believe he shot Lola.
Coulson: I can’t talk about it.
–
Garrett: Fury. Well, hell. When was the last time anyone saw a tag team wrestling match with four dead guys?
Coulson: I only see one dead guy in here.
Garrett: Oh, the power’s all on this side of the room, fellas. Phil, I’m surprised you’d try and stop me. Course, I don’t blame you, Nick. You haven’t seen the big picture. The big bang. The timeless frozen ocean, but Phil here has. We share a bond. We’re blood brothers.
Nick Fury: You didn’t tell me he’d gone this crazy.
Coulson: He’s really stepped it up a notch.
Thanks for reading! 😉 Hopefully I’ll stop slacking and get some real work on this blog done soon.
