This week’s episode of Agent’s of Shield takes the team to Hong Kong where Chan Ho Yin, a street magician, is taken due to his pyrokinetic ability, by a woman in a floral dress. He was found via a hack from the Rising Tide, Skye’s ex-affiliation, which leads to Coulson and May suspecting that perhaps Skye has something to do with it. However these premonitions cease when Skye locates the actual hacker, Miles, whom we find out that Skye has had, or is in (it’s hard to determine) a relationship with. This creates extreme doubt with Coulson who thinks perhaps they were working together. It turns out Miles sold the information to Project Centipede, who we saw in the pilot. They said to Chan that they would help to improve the power of his abilities and to make him known throughout the world but however they go back on this and he goes on a bit of a murderous rampage. We also find out a secret that Skye has kept hidden all of this time, but spoilers.

By Leah Stone Okay so this episode started off rather strangely; It starts in Stockholm, Sweden, with the appearance of a load of red-masked identical-looking guys carrying identical briefcases. It was a beginning that brought a confused look to my face, not exactly expected. The camera’s main focus, however, is a woman, with her eyes closed and headphones in. She follows a group of the men to a train and, whilst the train is moving, disables the lights, takes one of the briefcases, and escapes. It just so happens that she managed to know which one of the suitcase contained diamonds, adding to the total thirty million pounds worth of diamonds she had stolen. But how could she know when all of the people and cases they carried were identical? By Heather Stromski This week’s episode takes us to Peru in search of an 0-8-4; an Object of Unknown Origin. Before even touching down, we have whispers abounding of a bit of tension between Coulson’s new team – revolving particularly around his inclusion of the Rising Tide revolutionary Skye, who has already hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D.’s networks from nothing more than a laptop. The battle lines seem to be drawn – if you can really call them that – with Agents Grant Ward and Melinda May feeling extremely cautious about Skye’s presence on the team, and the scientists Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons seeking to welcome her, even if their hesitance is apparent (though some of that could certainly be their hesitance about social interaction in general). By Heather Stromski I will readily admit: I have been fangirling over this moment since the announcement of the show was first made. Come on – Marvel. Joss Whedon. Superheroes. High tech. This is pretty much hitting almost every single trigger I have. So, for the pilot, I will be writing this as a running diary, sharing with you every thought I have as I have it, as well as various theories and realizations that pop up as the hour winds down. Ready? Here we go! |
