    After four seasons and a universe of ideas, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is still doing what it does best. It’s constantly shifting the goal posts and surprising its audience with delightful twists and turns, never taking its fanbase for granted or getting too caught up in what’s already worked.

    Anyway, I loved every bit of this season, and look forward to season 6 being even better!    … Full Review »

    This season felt like the team was facing off threats lighter than before, which they could handle just fine. But the thing is that because ofThis season felt like the team was facing off threats lighter than before, which they could handle just fine. But the thing is that because of the circumstances and because of the team's previous traumatic experiences, it's harder and harder to face off any threat. So it focuses more on character improvement as well, as world ending threats. The sound and visual effects are really sloppy and poor just as before, but the actors compensate for this very well, giving over the tension, and reflecting that over the screen. The writing was very basic and lazy just as before, and the directing style was overly casual. There is one major plot whole which I don't get and don't agree with, therefore it's gonna piss off a lot of the audience. But it's interesting enough to keep the general audience engaged over all the season and also keeps the tension going with new twists and turns. Also story-wise got somewhat more complicated than before adding time travel to the formula. But also with that 'end season threat' (not going to spoil it) should have easily got to the radar of the Avengers and they would have picked up where SHIELD had left off. But I guess they forgot it's the same universe. Overall it's an above average season (and serial as well), but it's starts to get forced, taking in to consideration how much the team has already gone through and their tiredness is felt in their role as well. Also keeping count of the retirements, it has to stop cranking out new seasons. Stop while it's still good, don't force it to the grave.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. After an amazing fourth season Agents of SHIELD had a lot to live up to. Fortunately, season five mostly succeeded in this way. The future plot line was great but really didn't mean much as things could easily be reversed by coming back into the present. These episodes were fun and enjoyable none the less. Once we were brought back to earth (before Quake destroyed it) the pacing slowed a little. There were still amazing moments such as Fitz and Jemma getting married, finding out Deke is their grandson, and General Talbot being tortured by Hydra. In season four, the three stories (Ghost Rider, the LMDs, and the Framework) keep getting better. This season things are much slower due to the lack of the three arc structure. The two story arcs (future and present timeline) still work but they are dragged out due to the 22 episode season. Either way, the ending of the season is great and could have worked as a series finale if the show wasn't picked up for season 6. In this way, some of the events that happen in the finale will most likely be resolved except one. Coulson's sendoff was fantastic and came full circle. If this is the last time we see him I am happy with the way his story was told and how it ended. With season six being 13 episodes long, it's safe to say it will probably be the final season. I cannot wait to see how they will end the series and am glad they can end it the way they want instead of it being canceled.… Full Review »
