Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 5 Review



Tonight's episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was a treat, because the game escalated to a bit of an extent for Coulson and his team. Not only did tonight's episode bring in the full return of Raina to the second season, but audiences are given the identity of the brunette who became HYDRA's chief of security at the end of episode 1.

To start out, we are finally given a good look at Skye's father, though we don't know his identity yet. But this is a known fact, the man is desperate to see his daughter, and has a severe dark side.

Meanwhile, over in HYDRA, attempts to weaponize the Obelisk are not going well and Simmons' cover is blown, thus affecting her need to escape. And here we learn that the HYDRA's security chief, was none other the undercover S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Bobbi Morse (played by the amazing Adrianne Palicki).

A little background on Bobbi Morse for all who are unaware of her role within Marvel Comics. In the pages of Marvel books, Bobbi is a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Avenger and was the wife at one point of Avenger Hawkeye. History lesson thus concluded, back to episode talk.

I'm throwing in this photo of Palicki in tonight's episode as Morse, pulling of a nice brunette look, though hopefully if she is to remain a figurehead in the current season, she'll be rocking Bobbi's classic blond locks.


Overall tonight's episode was fun, it had action, intrigue, witty dialogue, great character development (like the reuniting of Fitz and Simmons, which was precious) and the introduction of another amazing Marvel Comics' character into the Marvel Film/TV-verse. With the added addition of Palicki in her full role of Bobbi, we can expect a lot of great banter and wisecracking to enter the show, bringing a bit more cheer back to the serious new S.H.I.E.L.D. that Coulson is running. All in all, a bang up job for tonight's episode, can't wait till next week.
