Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Finale Review: The Sign and New Life The Agents of SHIELD season 6 finale wrapped things up neatly (perhaps too neatly) but gave us an amazing setup for season 7. "The Sign" and "New Life" may have undone too many deaths, but it gave us plenty of excitement and more unexpected moments than we could count. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for the season 6 finale, Faith’s S.H.I.E.L.D.S.A.S.S. feature, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk...

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 11 Review: From the Ashes As Agents of SHIELD clearly builds towards its season 6 finale, "From the Ashes" takes a deeply emotional turn, and we love it! Whether enjoying Deke's approval by his grandparents, suffering with Benson as he deals with his guilt, rejoicing at the reconciliation between Mack and Yoyo, or gasping with Daisy as she witnesses bits of Coulson rising to the surface in Sarge, this episode pulled on all the heartstrings. Join us for show...

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 10 Review: Leap With an entertaining shell game in the latest episode of Agents of SHIELD, "Leap" gives us all kinds of answers. The only question is whether or not we're fully satisfied with the explanation we've been given. Whatever the case may be, the body-snatching was undeniably fun, and the possibilities for a Ghost Rider connection are extremely enticing. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "Leap," Faith’s S.H.I.E.L.D.S.A.S.S. feature,...

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 9 Review: Collision Course (Part II) "Collision Course (Part II)" presents an exciting conclusion to a stellar two-part Agents of SHIELD episode, revealing some answers but holding other mysteries close.

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 7 Review: Toldja Although "Toldja" wasn't our favorite episode of Agents of SHIELD this season, there was plenty of emotional dialogue between characters to gain our appreciation. As a result, this mid-season installment felt like a pivot point towards other exciting developments, especially considering we have a two-parter coming up next week. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "Toldja," Faith's S.H.I.E.L.D.S.A.S.S. Report, and our listener...

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 6 Review: Inescapable A bottle episode of Agents of SHIELD never scared anyone, and seeing Fitz and Simmons reconcile all of their pain in "Inescapable" really highlighted the acting of Iain de Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge. Although the story didn't move forward much, the psychological experiment was worth the price of admission! Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "Inescapable," our listener feedback segment, and the return of the...

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 5 Review: The Other Thing Storylines begin to merge in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, "The Other Thing," and we're wondering what Daisy will think about fake Coulson and when Fitz and Simmons will return.

Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "The Other Thing," and our listener feedback segment! This...

Agents of SHIELD Executive Producers Interview We had the honor of being able to speak to Agents of SHIELD executive producers Maurissa Tancharoen, Jed Whedon, and Jeff Bell before season 6 began as part of our association with Den of Geek. Although both the article and our original podcast on our Sci Fi Fidelity feed are spoiler-free, we still think you'll find it interesting to listen to the insights of the showrunners behind the Marvel show we love. As mentioned in this podcast, we do...

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 4 Review: Code Yellow In this week's Agents of SHIELD episode entitled "Code Yellow," Deke rejoins the team by necessity as Sarge's team unfairly targets him as a parasite-infested zombie, giving us even more details about their overall mission. Could it be that SHIELD and the dimension hoppers have a common enemy? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "Code Yellow," and our listener feedback segment!

  Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 3 Review: Fear and Loathing on the Planet of Kitson Agents of SHIELD's space storyline heats up in "Fear and Loathing on the Planet of Kitson" as Daisy and Jemma search for Fitz while he and Enoch try to regain the money needed to continue their mission.

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 2 Review: Window of Opportunity "Window of Opportunity" introduced a whole new dynamic to Agents of SHIELD as we learned more about Sarge and his team through the subtle use of hints dropped into their dialogue. With Fitz just missing Simmons out in space, his path to redemption hearkens back to his troubles in season 4, creating a nice bit of dissonance for the journey of Fitz and Enoch. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "Window of...

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 1 Review: Missing Pieces We're back from the super-long hiatus to talk about the season 6 premiere of Agents of SHIELD, "Missing Pieces," and a lot has changed in the one year time jump since last year's finale.

Meanwhile, how will the search for Fitz go in deep space? Join us for show news,...

Thankfully, "The End" wasn't actually the end for Agents of SHIELD, but it still knocked us for an emotional loop in giving us some ending for certain characters. Although there is some discussion of whether or not the deaths in this finale were enough to sell the stakes that were set earlier in the season, the impact on the audience was definitely strongly felt, and the tissues were plentiful. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "The End," a special edition of Faith's...

"The Force of Gravity" holds several meanings in this week's Agents of SHIELD, not just the obvious power wielded by Glenn Talbot a.k.a. Graviton. It also could refer to the triumphant moment for Philinda shippers as their beloved couple finally came together, or a case could be made that the gravity of family is pulling the fractured team back together as well. It certainly acted as a wonderful build-up to the finale! Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "The Force of...

Agents of SHIELD Season 5 Episode 20 Review: The One Who Will Save Us All In “The One Who Will Save Us All,” Agents of SHIELD introduces a new superhero/supervillain in Glen Talbot’s gravitonium-enhanced form.

In choosing "Option Two" in this week's Agents of SHIELD, Coulson turns this episode into a wonderful, horror-style survival story. How ironic given his own survival is in question and Daisy and May move forward with their plan to save him. The fallout from some of the conflicts within the group get their due this week as things are clearly gearing up for the big finale. Will it be a season or series finale? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "Option Two," Faith’s CoulSass...

In "All Roads Lead..." Agents of SHIELD brings a major conflict to fruition, but there's still so much to resolve, especially among the team. Have they simply pissed of General Hale such that the Kree will bring about the prophecy, or will something else begin the breaking apart of the Earth? It's still impossible to tell where "the destroyer of worlds" comes into play, and the suspense is killing us! Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "All Roads Lead...," Faith’s CoulSass...

The adventure depicted in this week's Agents of SHIELD episode, "The Honeymoon," probably isn't exactly the honeymoon Fitz and Simmons were hoping for. The theme running throughout "The Honeymoon" appears to be reckless actions or personal weakness, and for better or for worse, examples abound in each of the various storylines. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "The Honeymoon," Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about May's tough...

"Inside Voices" really seemed to break up the team in Agents of SHIELD, and we're really wondering how this might lead to further disaster. With Coulson out in the wilderness with Talbot, Simmons and others off in a quinjet, May and Daisy in Zephyr One, and Mack and Deke stuck at the Lighthouse, things couldn't be more divided. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "Inside Voices," Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Simmons'...

"Rise and Shine" was just what the second half of Agents of SHIELD season 5 needed: a boost of back story and a motivation for what comes next. Could we be seeing the start of a SHIELD-HYDRA alliance against a common enemy? And what will be the change that prevents the time loop from happening all over again? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "Rise and Shine," Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Hale's history with HYDRA,...

The fear dimension plays tricks on us in this week's episode of Agents of SHIELD entitled "The Devil Complex," but deception lies elsewhere in the story as well when General Hale is brought onboard Zephyr One.

Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for The Devil Complex, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback...

While "Principia" may be a set-up episode of Agents of SHIELD, the search for CyberTek is a rousing adventure to find a solution to the fear dimension rift, Elena's missing arms, and perhaps even Coulson's fatal condition. Can gravitonium and cybernetic parts fix all of their problems before General Hale finishes her team of... whatever it is she's doing? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "Principia," Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week...

The 100th episode of Agents of SHIELD entitled "The Real Deal" did not disappoint! With plenty of emotional moments, happy and sad, this almost felt like a season (or series) finale.
