TV Review: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S2E16 Afterlife
As Robert Gonzalez makes his move, Coulson must do whatever it takes to protect the future of S.H.I.E.L.D. Meanwhile Skye’s journey to control her powers take a surprising turn when she meets the enigmatic Inhuman named Lincoln.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. kicks off with lots of revelations right away, and some interesting things that might seem familiar for Marvel comic fans.
Skye is in a weird land, having been brought there by the mysterious Gordon. Is this land possibly connected to Iron Fist who’ll be on Marvel’s Netflix series? Is this MountWundagore? Is this one of the lost Inhuman tribes that have been mentioned in Marvel comics? All are possibilities and as a comic fan, holy crap am I excited and hoping we find out more.We’re also introduced to a new Inhuman Lincoln Campbell who has electrical powers. Played by Luke Mitchell, he might have won the award for worst acting on the show. He has electrical/energy powers. There’s a lot of possibilities of who he might be, or he might be a new one. No matter, he’s a horrible actor.On Coulson’s side of things, he has a plan to get back to S.H.I.E.L.D. and free his team.Choices are given to lots of folks Skye, Coulson, May, and more. It’s all pretty coolstorywise…. but what was up with the acting!? Two steps ahead, three steps back I guess.
Overall Score: 7.25
