Plenty of clarifying conversations and the return of the Kree are the highlights of this episode of Agents of SHIELD, Failed Experiments. Although our hope for Daisy is dwindling, the relatively easy dispatching of the Kree Reapers gives us pause. What can SHIELD possibly do now if Simmons’ antivenom is among the failed experiments?

Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Failed Experiments, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Mack and Lincoln disobeying orders, Fitz and Simmons making progress in their relationship but not in the lab, and the clearer picture of how Hive-infected Inhumans view the world.

Being out in the field didn’t stop Fitz and Simmons from taking the next step in their relationship in this week’s Agents of SHIELD episode, The Singularity.

Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for The Singularity, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about the strange relationship between Hive and Daisy, the argument between Coulson and May, the wonderful dynamics between Mack and FitzSimmons, and – of course – the big moment for the scientist couple!

Just as we thought we’d have a kick-ass superhero team in this week’s Agents of SHIELD episode, The Team, the whole thing falls apart! In a great whodunit-style mole hunt, no one was above suspicion, even the eventual culprit. As much as we hated Malick, it’s sad to see him go as the series shifts into a new storyline in the final third of the season.

Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for The Team, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk Yo-yo’s mistrust of authority, Joey’s cool use of powers, Hive’s true nature, the Fitz-Simmons kiss, and much more! Read more…

The Sandbox Episode 52 – Paradise Lost Review

We had a great unfolding of Malick’s vision in this week’s Agents of SHIELD episode, which had the ever-so-symbolic title, Paradise Lost. With the back story that is revealed between Gideon and his brother, Nate, it’s surprising that Hive stuck with the elder Malick this long! What will bring about his ultimate demise?

Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Paradise Lost, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Lincoln’s lack of edge, Fitz’s morose demeanor, Giyera’s unlikely conquest, Coulson’s moral dilemma, and Daisy’s understandable worry. Read more…

The civil war is drawing near and Agents of SHIELD has its own take on the argument in this week’s episode, Watchdogs. Mike and Dave actually line up on opposite sides as to whether Daisy is being too heavy-handed with her powers and whether this represents a problem with powered people that needs to be addressed.

Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Watchdogs, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Fitz’s reticence about Daisy’s methods, the ups and downs of Mack’s relationship with his brother, Lincoln’s performance with the test Coulson administered, and the new Simmons as she tries to figure out how she will address adversity and guilt.

Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for “Parting Shot”, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about May and Hunter’s revealing conversation, the excellent fight scenes with the ladies of SHIELD, the cool powers of the short-lived shadowy Inhuman, and the power of Mack’s tears.
