Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1 was a mixed bag at best, so much that I got bored about 5
episodes into it, and stopped watching it. The turning point was having watched
the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had done
tie-ins with the movies before, but none of them had hit so close to home as
Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I caught up, and there were some decent
episodes of S.H.I.E.L.D. in that time, however it really started to gain
momentum with the episode ‘Turn Turn Turn’ which began exploring the impacts of
The Winter Soldier on S.H.I.E.L.D.
itself. The momentum continued throw and the finale was excellent, with
both emotional impact on the characters, and the appearance of Nick Fury.
So, has
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s second series continued the momentum from the finale, or
is it, like S.H.I.E.L.D. itself, back to square one? Let’s dig into the 2nd
season premiere and find out.
