Agent Palmer

It’s all connected and it’s all brilliant. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season two ended with a bang and opened as many doors for season three as it closed on season two.

Before I get into the fangasm post you’re about to read of my thoughts on season two, I must say that I was one of the few who thoroughly enjoyed season one. I didn’t find it slow, I just thought it was great with the added bonus of really connecting to the larger part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), especially with what they did to lead in to the setup of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and in it’s aftermath.

Seriously, Scorpion really is the A-Team meets MacGyver for the 21st century. It’s well written, well cast and thoroughly enjoyable. At times it’s even implausible and the odds are definitely against the team more often than not, but how is that any different from the MacGyver and A-Team television lineage from which it comes.

The first season of any show is about introductions and Scorpion’s first season does that very well without being slow. Granted the title sequence of the show does introduce the characters, but throughout Season 1 depth is added to each and every main character within the show.

I wasn’t expecting too much when entering the fandom of Agent Carter on January 6, 2015, along with scores of others. I was a little upset that after a big reveal on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., there would now be a long break before getting back to Skye/Daisy/Quake, or whichever you prefer to call her.

However, I was expecting to see the founding of S.H.I.E.L.D. and I was wrong.

There, I said it.
