Actor Brett Dalton is simply not pulling off the evil-invincible-alien-god thing on ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’, is he? This week, he adopts a weird accent I don’t recall him having in other episodes for no particular reason. (I gues...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ has so many twists and double-crosses this week that you’d almost swear it was a Shonda Rhimes show. (Rhimes certainly adores her shocking plot twists.) Fortunately, it’s not quite as soapy as that might s...
The frustrating thing about this season of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ is that, although I support and am genuinely interested in the direction the show’s storylines are heading, the individual episodes in this back-half of the seaso...
Judging by fan reaction, I seem to be in a minority for disliking last week’s episode of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ which (for the time being) wrote the Bobbi and Lance characters off the show. I liked this week’s entry marginally b...
The last two episodes of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ have disappointed me quite a bit. This week’s in particular is basically a pointless waste of an hour that exists only to set up a spinoff show that, at this point, still may not m...
If your DVR recording of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ this week was pre-empted by news coverage of Tuesday’s political primaries, as happened in my region, don’t just shrug it off and assume there was no new episode. One indeed aired,...
With that ‘Agent Carter‘ nonsense finally behind us, Marvel’s superior ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ returned from its winter break this week. It has been a few months since the show’s last episode, which means that some catching up is...
I gave up recapping ‘Agent Carter’ a few weeks back because, like most of the viewing audience and even its own broadcast network, I completely lost interest in the show. Given that last week’s season finale will very likely also ...
I was all set to start this new recap with a quip about how I no longer hate-watch ‘Agent Carter’; I loathe-watch it. Last week’s episode was truly dreadful. Fortunately (or unfortunately), the latest entry is better – not great, ...
Three episodes into the new season, I’ve already resigned myself to the fact that ‘Agent Carter’ isn’t getting any better this year. The show is still drearily dull. Given its short seasons, I’ve made some peace with that. However...
Peggy Carter is one plucky gal. Despite flagging ratings during its first season (not to mention the general tedium of its execution), Marvel’s ‘Agent Carter’ somehow got renewed for another eight-episode run. The new season bring...
Before it goes on break for the next few months, ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ returns us to that strange blue-tinted alien planet one more time. It also, finally, gives the world a name, so I can stop referring to it as “that alien pl...
