The ghosts and the Ghost Rider are both back on ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ this week. I say this without much enthusiasm. Perhaps comic book fans can answer me this: Is Ghost Rider a ghost who rides, or does he ride ghosts? The latt...
Just the other day, I expressed my relief that ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ finally, mercifully killed off one of the most annoying characters on that show. Then what happens? He has to turn up ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ too. I just can’...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ adds a new cast member this week with a proven track record of being death to TV shows. This may not be a wise decision, if he sticks around for long.
One of the most-anticipated shows of the new TV season, ABC’s ‘Designated Survivor’ puts Jack Bauer… err, make that Tom Kirkman… in the White House as the new President of the United States after a terrorist attack destroys the Ca...
From the coda at the end of last season’s finale, we already knew that some big changes were in store for ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ this year. What I didn’t realize is that the new season would serve as an excuse to formally introd...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ closed out its very uneven third season last week with a supersized two-part finale. While I don’t think it necessarily ties everything together in the grand finish the show wanted, the season wraps up on ...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ doesn’t always make an effort to tie its plot to the release of every new Marvel superhero movie, but the events of ‘Captain America: Civil War’ were apparently significant enough to warrant a mention. The...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ bites off more than it can chew this week with a storyline that may have seemed ambitious during the writing stages, but plays as embarrassingly cheesy in execution.
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...
