1:07:39

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Finale Review: The Sign and New Life The Agents of SHIELD season 6 finale wrapped things up neatly (perhaps too neatly) but gave us an amazing setup for season 7. "The Sign" and "New Life" may have undone too many deaths, but it gave us plenty of excitement and more unexpected moments than we could count. Join us for show …

39:34

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 11 Review: From the Ashes As Agents of SHIELD clearly builds towards its season 6 finale, "From the Ashes" takes a deeply emotional turn, and we love it! Whether enjoying Deke's approval by his grandparents, suffering with Benson as he deals with his guilt, rejoicing at the reconciliation between Mack and Yoyo, or …

41:39

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 10 Review: Leap With an entertaining shell game in the latest episode of Agents of SHIELD, "Leap" gives us all kinds of answers. The only question is whether or not we're fully satisfied with the explanation we've been given. Whatever the case may be, the body-snatching was undeniably fun, and the possibilities for…

46:37

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 9 Review: Collision Course (Part II) "Collision Course (Part II)" presents an exciting conclusion to a stellar two-part Agents of SHIELD episode, revealing some answers but holding other mysteries close.

5y ago41:51

41:51

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 7 Review: Toldja Although "Toldja" wasn't our favorite episode of Agents of SHIELD this season, there was plenty of emotional dialogue between characters to gain our appreciation. As a result, this mid-season installment felt like a pivot point towards other exciting developments, especially considering we have a t…

SB108 - S6E6 - Inescapable 40:33

5y ago40:33

40:33

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 6 Review: Inescapable A bottle episode of Agents of SHIELD never scared anyone, and seeing Fitz and Simmons reconcile all of their pain in "Inescapable" really highlighted the acting of Iain de Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge. Although the story didn't move forward much, the psychological experiment was worth t…

46:18

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 5 Review: The Other Thing Storylines begin to merge in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, "The Other Thing," and we're wondering what Daisy will think about fake Coulson and when Fitz and Simmons will return. In the meantime, the holes in Sarge's history seem to point towards something else going on, but we're ha…

Agents of SHIELD Executive Producers Interview We had the honor of being able to speak to Agents of SHIELD executive producers Maurissa Tancharoen, Jed Whedon, and Jeff Bell before season 6 began as part of our association with Den of Geek. Although both the article and our original podcast on our Sci Fi Fidelity feed are spoiler-free, we still thi…

5y ago35:44

35:44

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 4 Review: Code Yellow In this week's Agents of SHIELD episode entitled "Code Yellow," Deke rejoins the team by necessity as Sarge's team unfairly targets him as a parasite-infested zombie, giving us even more details about their overall mission. Could it be that SHIELD and the dimension hoppers have a common enemy?…

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 2 Review: Window of Opportunity "Window of Opportunity" introduced a whole new dynamic to Agents of SHIELD as we learned more about Sarge and his team through the subtle use of hints dropped into their dialogue. With Fitz just missing Simmons out in space, his path to redemption hearkens back to his troubles in sea…

37:48

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 1 Review: Missing Pieces We're back from the super-long hiatus to talk about the season 6 premiere of Agents of SHIELD, "Missing Pieces," and a lot has changed in the one year time jump since last year's finale. With Mack in charge, SHIELD is in its rebuilding phase, but they're already confronting a new mystery wi…

SB101 – S5E22 – The End 1:03:28

6y ago1:03:28

1:03:28

Thankfully, "The End" wasn't actually the end for Agents of SHIELD, but it still knocked us for an emotional loop in giving us some ending for certain characters. Although there is some discussion of whether or not the deaths in this finale were enough to sell the stakes that were set earlier in the season, the impact on the audience was definitely…

SB100 – S5E21 – The Force of Gravity 46:38

6y ago46:38

46:38

"The Force of Gravity" holds several meanings in this week's Agents of SHIELD, not just the obvious power wielded by Glenn Talbot a.k.a. Graviton. It also could refer to the triumphant moment for Philinda shippers as their beloved couple finally came together, or a case could be made that the gravity of family is pulling the fractured team back tog…

SB99 – S5E20 – The One Who Will Save Us All 46:15

Agents of SHIELD Season 5 Episode 20 Review: The One Who Will Save Us All In “The One Who Will Save Us All,” Agents of SHIELD introduces a new superhero/supervillain in Glen Talbot’s gravitonium-enhanced form. Our foreknowledge of what’s to come is both a blessing and a curse: we know where this is headed, but […] The post SB99 – S5E20 – The One Wh…

SB98 – S5E19 – Option Two 43:06

6y ago43:06

43:06

In choosing "Option Two" in this week's Agents of SHIELD, Coulson turns this episode into a wonderful, horror-style survival story. How ironic given his own survival is in question and Daisy and May move forward with their plan to save him. The fallout from some of the conflicts within the group get their due this week as things are clearly gearing…

SB97 – S5E18 – All Roads Lead… 45:20

6y ago45:20

45:20

In "All Roads Lead..." Agents of SHIELD brings a major conflict to fruition, but there's still so much to resolve, especially among the team. Have they simply pissed of General Hale such that the Kree will bring about the prophecy, or will something else begin the breaking apart of the Earth? It's still impossible to tell where "the destroyer of wo…

SB96 – S5E17 – The Honeymoon 46:43

6y ago46:43

46:43

The adventure depicted in this week's Agents of SHIELD episode, "The Honeymoon," probably isn't exactly the honeymoon Fitz and Simmons were hoping for. The theme running throughout "The Honeymoon" appears to be reckless actions or personal weakness, and for better or for worse, examples abound in each of the various storylines. Join us for show new…

1
SB95 – S5E16 – Inside Voices 46:40

6y ago46:40

46:40

"Inside Voices" really seemed to break up the team in Agents of SHIELD, and we're really wondering how this might lead to further disaster. With Coulson out in the wilderness with Talbot, Simmons and others off in a quinjet, May and Daisy in Zephyr One, and Mack and Deke stuck at the Lighthouse, things couldn't be more divided. Join us for show new…

SB94 – S5E15 – Rise and Shine 50:22

6+ y ago50:22

50:22

"Rise and Shine" was just what the second half of Agents of SHIELD season 5 needed: a boost of back story and a motivation for what comes next. Could we be seeing the start of a SHIELD-HYDRA alliance against a common enemy? And what will be the change that prevents the time loop from happening all over again? Join us for show news, commentary and a…

SB93 – S5E14 – The Devil Complex 41:43

6+ y ago41:43

41:43

The fear dimension plays tricks on us in this week's episode of Agents of SHIELD entitled "The Devil Complex," but deception lies elsewhere in the story as well when General Hale is brought onboard Zephyr One. With family relationships being revealed and with evidence mounting that the timeline still hasn't been altered, the fractured team has a lo…

1
SB92 – S5E13 – Principia 43:58

6+ y ago43:58

43:58

While "Principia" may be a set-up episode of Agents of SHIELD, the search for CyberTek is a rousing adventure to find a solution to the fear dimension rift, Elena's missing arms, and perhaps even Coulson's fatal condition. Can gravitonium and cybernetic parts fix all of their problems before General Hale finishes her team of... whatever it is she's…

SB91 – S5E12 – The Real Deal 46:02

6+ y ago46:02

46:02

The 100th episode of Agents of SHIELD entitled "The Real Deal" did not disappoint! With plenty of emotional moments, happy and sad, this almost felt like a season (or series) finale. But there's still plenty of story left to tell, and the stage is set for a remarkable second half of the season. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "Th…

SB90 – S5E11 – All the Comforts of Home 46:18

6+ y ago46:18

46:18

As Agents of SHIELD returns from hiatus, "All the Comforts of Home" returns to familiar territory in more ways than one. Although some wonderful new characters spice up the action in this episode, the military enemy is a track well trod on this show. What tricks does Agents of SHIELD still have up its sleeve to make General Hale and her unclear mot…

SB89 – S5E10 – Past Life 48:45

6+ y ago48:45

48:45

The first pod of Agents of SHIELD ends with lots of death and plenty of questions, and Past Life takes on multiple meanings as an episode title. Apparently our team has made it back to the past, but what does that mean for those left in the future? And has anything been put into place to change things this time around, or does it all center around …

SB88 – S5E9 – Best Laid Plans 46:51

6+ y ago46:51

46:51

The Best Laid Plans in this week's Agents of SHIELD episode were anything but. Although Mack excelled at rallying the humans against Kasius, the Kree has a few tricks left up his sleeve. And the crew onboard the Zephyr went flying off on a wing and a prayer! What's the deal with the gravitonium, and who the heck is Kasius' so-called seer? Join us f…

SB87 – S5E8 – The Last Day 54:45

6+ y ago54:45

54:45

In one of the most brain-melting, heart-warming episodes of Agents of SHIELD yet, The Last Day gives us plenty of answers and leaves us with a thousand more questions. We attempt to break down the time loop in our discussion but also discuss those left in the Lighthouse, and we share our largest listener feedback segment so far this season. Join us…

SB86 – S5E7 – Together or Not At All 42:52

6+ y ago42:52

42:52

The setting is beginning to shift in the latest episode of Agents of SHIELD entitled Together or Not At All, and the title belies the separation of the team. Although Kasius and Sinara have a strange togetherness going on, it seems not everyone is headed to the surface where May has been pulled from certain death by Enoch and none other than Robin,…

SB85 – S5E6 – Fun and Games 40:09

6+ y ago40:09

40:09

The battle of the Inhumans heats up in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, Fun and Games. With Fitz in the mix, the wheels are in motion for a shift in focus to whatever's on the surface, and with all the deaths they leave behind them, it should be an interesting change for the show moving forward. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis fo…

SB84 – S5E5 – Rewind 44:01

6+ y ago44:01

44:01

Agents of SHIELD returns to more familiar territory in Rewind, and callbacks are plentiful with the return of Lance Hunter and a reference coming all the way from season 3. We get plenty of answers to questions but plenty more crop up in their place. With Fitz in the future, are we any closer to a solution to the mystery of why SHIELD was sent to 2…

Daisy enters the ring in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, A Life Earned, but will Kasius discover that there are more SHIELD agents in the Lighthouse? With the many discoveries made in this episode about the true objective of the Kree, the team has to make its move soon before all of its members are captured or worse! Will Fitz be coming to the…

Is everyone a bull in a china shop in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, A Life Spent? It's time to discuss whether or not our intrepid heroes are being a bit too brash in combating the complacency of those in the Lighthouse. More lives are at stake besides just those in the team! Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for A Life Spent, F…

Agents of SHIELD is back, but has Orientation introduced a completely different show? Viewers have returned to find that not only is the team in space; they're also in the future! What will this mean for the SHIELD we've come to know and love as well as the individuals affected, some of whom aren't even present? Join us for show news, commentary an…

7y ago1:12:38

1:12:38

It's a world's end for the Framework in the Agents of SHIELD season finale, World's End, and the rescue of the remaining team members was only half of the amazing story. With the battle against Ophelia coming to a close, there's still plenty of mess to clean-up with regard to the Darkhold and the PR problems for inhumans and SHIELD itself. Join us …

SB79 – S4E21 – The Return 1:03:56

7y ago1:03:56

1:03:56

Who has time to confront all these new feelings when you're trying to escape with your life? That question could apply to Ophelia as easily as Fitz or Elena or Coulson or anyone else in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, The Return. Clearly, the show is pivoting towards a season finale that surprisingly involves Ghost Rider. How will it end, and …

SB78 – S4E20 – Farewell, Cruel World 1:02:49

7y ago1:02:49

1:02:49

We finally escape the Framework in the appropriately titled episode of Agents of SHIELD, Farewell, Cruel World, in which not everyone makes it out. The choices that were made along the way, the relationships between many of the characters, and the consequences of the choices that they've made are really the core of this great episode leading into t…

SB77 – S4E19 – All the Madame’s Men 56:59

7y ago56:59

56:59

Has an uprising begun in the Framework is the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, All the Madame's Men? It certainly seems that way as Coulson inspiringly takes to the airwaves while Madame Hydra is down for the count. With Daisy's quake powers back in play and May back on the right team, the tide could certainly be turning as we get closer to the sea…

1
SB76 – S4E18 – No Regrets 1:02:54

7y ago1:02:54

1:02:54

Considering it was called No Regrets, we certainly did learn a lot about Fitz's regret in this week's Agents of SHIELD episode. And with the highs: seeing Mack back with the team, getting a surprise appearance from Trip; there were the lows: losing a valued member of the team that helped define season 4. Join us for show news, commentary and analys…

SB75 – S4E17 – Identity and Change 1:00:55

7y ago1:00:55

1:00:55

The Agents of Hydra pod continues in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, Identity and Change, which finds Daisy and Jemma hooking up with another familiar face. Thank goodness Coulson is on board, but surely there will be consequences for the actions of May and Fitz should they ever awaken! Meanwhile we're still trying to decide what Aida's real m…

SB74 – S4E16 – What If… 1:00:36

7y ago1:00:36

1:00:36

We're back from hiatus, and with What If... it's almost like we're talking about a different show other than Agents of SHIELD! With Jemma and Daisy experiencing the Framework in very different ways, we quickly got a picture of the world we'll be living in up until the finale. And then of course, there's the return of Brett Dalton as Grant Ward - aw…

SB73 – S4E15 – Self Control 1:15:52

7+ y ago1:15:52

1:15:52

Another midseason finale of sorts for Agents of SHIELD with Self Control, and we have a LOT of questions, especially with the vignettes we saw of those who are living their lives in The Framework. A trio of heart-wrenching emotional scenes really had the waterworks going for most of the audience, and the next "pod" is sure to be something completel…

SB72 – S4E14 – The Man Behind the Shield 1:03:16

7+ y ago1:03:16

1:03:16

The LMD arc is heating up for its ultimate conclusion in this week's Agents of SHIELD episode entitled The Man Behind the Shield. While Radcliffe goes off to the Framework presumably to be with Agnes, Aida is left with the dirty work alongside (or perhaps in opposition to) the Superior. With the big reveal at the end, who will end up on top, and ho…

7+ y ago1:00:10

1:00:10

A new villain takes over for an old and a new Inhuman shows up in an unexpected place in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode entitled simply BOOM. We have a few bones to pick with Mack and with a few moves the veteran agents botched, but we couldn't get enough of Aida, Agnes, and the implications for Radcliffe, May, and Coulson. We may even *gasp* …

7+ y ago1:01:53

1:01:53

The return of Agent(s) Koenig was the highlight of this week's Agents of SHIELD episode, Hot Potato Soup. With the Darkhold falling back into the wrong hands, we're introduced to two more potential villains moving forward: the Superior and Fitz's father. But at least we got a "Philinda" kiss! Kind of... Join us for show news, commentary and analysi…

SB69 – S4E11 – Wake Up 1:01:52

7+ y ago1:01:52

1:01:52

The title of this week's Agents of SHIELD episode, Wake Up, obviously refers to May's attempt to break out of her simulation, but could it also refer to Coulson's misguided attempt to circumvent the political realities of their new situation? Could Fitz's epiphany be a sort of wake up call as well? It could refer to a lot of things! Join us for sho…

A secret is revealed in this week's Agents of SHIELD episode entitled The Patriot. How will the dynamic change now that Phil is calling the shots?

59:21

The LMD arc begins in earnest with Broken Promises, an episode the explores the possibility of an AI suddenly achieving consciousness via the Darkhold. Or is it all just an elaborate ploy based on the ending we saw? Along with the return of Senator Nadeer and her brother, the stories this week drew us right back in after the long Agents of SHIELD h…

1:10:24

As the winter finale of Agents of SHIELD, The Laws of Inferno Dynamics brought a lot of story arcs to a head, and we're left wondering where the LMD storyline will continue moving forward. Are Aida's intentions good in her own mind, or has the Darkhold gotten its tendrils into her? Is Eli gone for good, and if Robbie's not done as Coulson suggests,…
