I feel so bad for missing the premiere episode, but at least I can still watch these great new episodes. It's amazing how much has happened since we last left our heroes off. The most important thing going on right now is that the Shield agents appear to be stranded in an alternate universe where Earth has been destroyed and they're stuck in space. Simmons has been kidnapped and assimilated. She's working to help Inhumans discover their powers. One that she works with, Abbey is working with her powers and sent out to fight in a small gladiatorial like sport.

I couldn't help but think this bit was based on "Thor: Ragnarok", a great movie. I'm surprised at how graphic this episode was. Abbey literally makes her hand intangible and then uses this ability to impale her opponent through the chest. I saw Daisy take on these blue aliens that looked like Yondu from "Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2". They must be a member of his species and anything with that guy is awesome. There's some great use of lights being dimmed in one scene too. I'm glad to see how this season turns out. ***1/2

Good episode and also nice plot, but why does Daisy has to be so idiotic? Stupid risks and not even a slight plan how to survive... She should be smart but acts like a 12y old.

I find this episode quite enjoyable, but far from being a stand out, it does a great job building up our newer characters, Tess, Deke and Grill all get more fleshed out this episode, we also get a glimpse of what it is like for Inhumans in the future through Abby, the actress was so good, I want to see her in more things! and we get some lead on what the mission is going to be. I do however find our agent acting in a frustrating way, perhaps refusing to acknowledge the world works differently now, for some of them it is in character, like Mack, but I find Daisy being hot-headed and reckless, while also in character, gets on my nerve, considering Coulson always says she is fit to lead, she needs to act more rationally. That said, I have seen the rest of the season and I know a thing or two about how Daisy handles things in the future, frustrating or not, it is consistent!

I knew Mack was self-righteous and a little tunnel-visoned. But back in the day he was focused on what was right in-front of his face and he did everything he did because he cared about his team and his friends. Now he spends the entire time preaching about not losing yourself and how far gone these people are. And when Tess does something incredibly selfless taking the blame for them and Yo-yo protects the team by framing someone else. All he can see for the next 3 episodes is that these people are monsters and that this world it is quickly turning the woman he loves into a monster. His preachiness has officially reached blind self-righteousness. He literally does not know what or who he is talking about. And doesn't care that anyone might see the situation differently. I am a Christian who was raised to see the humanity and goodness of others not thier failings and not on just 'what they did'. Mack's take from his 'I was taught do unto others', is actually offensive. And his attitude of 'we have to be better than them' is insulting. Given these guys have lived like this for years and know nothing else, its amazing they've held on to thier humanity as much, as completely as they have! They are better than You. These people, and definitely the rest of your team are better than you. They have been through hell. They are living in hell right now. And all you can see is 'that wasn't okay' And what you mean by it is 'that wasn't okay with me'. 'I have a problem with that'. I can't even focus on the issues this episode raised, I mean like fear from attacking a superior, something May understands judging by the look on her face, and Tess going out on a limb for strangers, doing quite an honorable thing actually given how scared she usually was. Tess and the actress that play her are brilliant. But such star in the ashes moments as I call them 'the human spirit is indomitable and we always find a way' get buried in those same ashes drowned in Mack's affrontedness. And skewing with statistics. Seriously in that entire scene all Mack focused on was that his girlfriend framed someone. Not that first Tess, then his girlfriend Elena saved the entire team. And Tess had no real reason to do so. At least, they certainly hadn't expected her to go out on a limb for them like that.
