Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 3 Review



Once more unto the breach our dear friends at S.H.I.E.L.D. are thrown, and this time an old familiar face is there to help the charge. Tonight's episode see's the return of Simmons, who has undertaken a mission from Coulson that is both dangerous and highly in-depth. Simmons has apparently been tasked by Coulson to infiltrate HYDRA, learn anything that can be used to help S.H.I.E.L.D. in their new struggle against the terrorist organization. And in tonight's episode, an exciting adventure unfolds.

HYDRA has a new target, and his name is Donnie Gill. Fans of the show will remember Donnie, the bright kid from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy back in Season 1 who tried to make a machine that would bring about a small ice storm and take out his intellectual rivals at the Academy. Well now he's back, sporting freezing powers, and HYDRA wants him.

So its up to Simmons to do all she can to make sure HYDRA keeps their hands off Donnie, while unbeknownst to her, a S.H.I.E.L.D. team is making sure of the same thing.

There's a lot of character development in this episode, we see how much Simmons has changed in her term playing secret spy for Coulson, we see that Fitz is trying to regain control of his mind, and we also see Skye attempting to work past her own personal issues for the good of the team.

Also, overarching plot development too. We are shown that Coulson is willing to take hold of any possible advantage against HYDRA he can muster, in order to make sure that they do not gain a foothold on the world. Also, a little peek at some of HYDRA's organizational structure in their renewed war against the forces of good. All in all, a very excellent episode for the beginnings of Season 2.

As the series progress's, it is my hope that we introduced more and more to other Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., old and new, who will continue to help the forces of good in the never ending battle for justice.
