While a lot of this episode was spent reminding the audience of what happened before all that time in the Framework - oh yeah, they were L.M.D.s and of course Talbot would come after them and think they all went rogue in their time away - those moments between our favorite SHIELD agents remind us of how far they've grown. Yo-Yo finding out about Hope, Coulson and May talking about their missing time together when they were L.M.D.'s and that tearful scene of Simmons and Fitz just sitting together all were great character beats. As compelling as Aida has been as the villain, Anton Ivanov is a character I could have done without.įortunately, the core characters' emotional work did help save this episode. I never was concerned for their lives, but also didn't doubt they'd get past him. He's never come off as threatening, and that is especially the case in this episode where there are endless versions of him to attack May and Coulson. Beyond Aida, I've been pretty disappointed in Zach McGowan as the Superior this season. Instead, it feels like we're brushing past it pretty quickly. Again, I wish this episode had more time to allow these characters to wrestle with the fact they lived an entire other life over in this artificial reality, and try to figure out what that means for them. The same goes for Fitz, who found himself grappling with the weight of what he'd done in this alternate life. But as much as Aida yo-yoed to evil very quickly, her exploration of what it meant to do good for the sake of empathy was very interesting. I was hoping for more than just one episode for Fitz and Aida to deal with the repercussions of the Framework storyline in their normal lives. Unfortunately, it was a bit too much condensed into one episode and lost some of its impact because of that. Being such smart scientists, the opportunities for them to appear in the wider MCU to help out with various complex problems are truly limitless.Mallory Jansen has been given a lot of great material to work with this season, and getting to play the emotional spectrum of someone experiencing everything from love to heartache for the first time was especially effective. Fitz and Simmons Marvelįitz and Simmons were a genius duo of SHIELD scientists who worked together for years before finally getting together and starting a family. Unfortunately, this may prove a significant obstacle in Quake and other Inhuman heroes returning, but perhaps they could return with no mention of their origins. The once-planned Inhumans movie ended up being passed off to television and there are no indications of them coming back anytime soon. Marvel Studios is reportedly developing a Secret Warriors movie or Disney+ series and Chloe Bennet's Quake remains the popular choice to lead the team, as her comic counterpart does. Yo-Yo Rodriguez aka Slingshot has also served as a frequent member of the roster, potentially making this the perfect avenue to reunite the duo along with the series' other Inhuman stars.įor now, and for unknown reasons, Kevin Feige appears hesitant to include the Inhumans in the MCU. ![]()
