As Agents of SHIELD returns from hiatus, "All the Comforts of Home" returns to familiar territory in more ways than one. Although some wonderful new characters spice up the action in this episode, the military enemy is a track well trod on this show. What tricks does Agents of SHIELD still have up its sleeve to make General Hale and her unclear motives surprise us in this second half of the season? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for "All the Comforts of Home," Faith’s...

The first pod of Agents of SHIELD ends with lots of death and plenty of questions, and Past Life takes on multiple meanings as an episode title. Apparently our team has made it back to the past, but what does that mean for those left in the future? And has anything been put into place to change things this time around, or does it all center around Coulson's mysterious illness? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Past Life, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback...

The Best Laid Plans in this week's Agents of SHIELD episode were anything but. Although Mack excelled at rallying the humans against Kasius, the Kree has a few tricks left up his sleeve. And the crew onboard the Zephyr went flying off on a wing and a prayer! What's the deal with the gravitonium, and who the heck is Kasius' so-called seer? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Best Laid Plans, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about...

In one of the most brain-melting, heart-warming episodes of Agents of SHIELD yet, The Last Day gives us plenty of answers and leaves us with a thousand more questions. We attempt to break down the time loop in our discussion but also discuss those left in the Lighthouse, and we share our largest listener feedback segment so far this season. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for The Last Day, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about...

The setting is beginning to shift in the latest episode of Agents of SHIELD entitled Together or Not At All, and the title belies the separation of the team. Although Kasius and Sinara have a strange togetherness going on, it seems not everyone is headed to the surface where May has been pulled from certain death by Enoch and none other than Robin, now an old woman! Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Together or Not At All, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener...

The battle of the Inhumans heats up in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, Fun and Games. With Fitz in the mix, the wheels are in motion for a shift in focus to whatever's on the surface, and with all the deaths they leave behind them, it should be an interesting change for the show moving forward. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Fun and Games, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Quake's fighting style, Fitz's dark-side...

Agents of SHIELD returns to more familiar territory in Rewind, and callbacks are plentiful with the return of Lance Hunter and a reference coming all the way from season 3. We get plenty of answers to questions but plenty more crop up in their place. With Fitz in the future, are we any closer to a solution to the mystery of why SHIELD was sent to 2091 in the first place? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Rewind, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment!...

Daisy enters the ring in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, A Life Earned, but will Kasius discover that there are more SHIELD agents in the Lighthouse? With the many discoveries made in this episode about the true objective of the Kree, the team has to make its move soon before all of its members are captured or worse! Will Fitz be coming to the rescue? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for A Life Earned, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This...

Is everyone a bull in a china shop in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, A Life Spent? It's time to discuss whether or not our intrepid heroes are being a bit too brash in combating the complacency of those in the Lighthouse. More lives are at stake besides just those in the team! Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for A Life Spent, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Jemma's skillful mentoring, Mack's moral superiority, Yoyo's...

Agents of SHIELD is back, but has Orientation introduced a completely different show? Viewers have returned to find that not only is the team in space; they're also in the future! What will this mean for the SHIELD we've come to know and love as well as the individuals affected, some of whom aren't even present? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Orientation, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Fitz's notable absence, the...

It's a world's end for the Framework in the Agents of SHIELD season finale, World's End, and the rescue of the remaining team members was only half of the amazing story. With the battle against Ophelia coming to a close, there's still plenty of mess to clean-up with regard to the Darkhold and the PR problems for inhumans and SHIELD itself. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for World's End, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about...

Who has time to confront all these new feelings when you're trying to escape with your life? That question could apply to Ophelia as easily as Fitz or Elena or Coulson or anyone else in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, The Return. Clearly, the show is pivoting towards a season finale that surprisingly involves Ghost Rider. How will it end, and what will they leave for season 5, now that a renewal has been assured? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for The Return, Faith’s...

We finally escape the Framework in the appropriately titled episode of Agents of SHIELD, Farewell, Cruel World, in which not everyone makes it out. The choices that were made along the way, the relationships between many of the characters, and the consequences of the choices that they've made are really the core of this great episode leading into the season 4 finale. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Farewell, Cruel World, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener...

Has an uprising begun in the Framework is the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, All the Madame's Men? It certainly seems that way as Coulson inspiringly takes to the airwaves while Madame Hydra is down for the count. With Daisy's quake powers back in play and May back on the right team, the tide could certainly be turning as we get closer to the season 4 finale. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for All the Madame's Men, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback...

Considering it was called No Regrets, we certainly did learn a lot about Fitz's regret in this week's Agents of SHIELD episode. And with the highs: seeing Mack back with the team, getting a surprise appearance from Trip; there were the lows: losing a valued member of the team that helped define season 4. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for No Regrets, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Jemma's wavering resolve, Ward's...

The Agents of Hydra pod continues in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode, Identity and Change, which finds Daisy and Jemma hooking up with another familiar face. Thank goodness Coulson is on board, but surely there will be consequences for the actions of May and Fitz should they ever awaken! Meanwhile we're still trying to decide what Aida's real motivations are. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Identity and Change, the return of Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener...

We're back from hiatus, and with What If... it's almost like we're talking about a different show other than Agents of SHIELD! With Jemma and Daisy experiencing the Framework in very different ways, we quickly got a picture of the world we'll be living in up until the finale. And then of course, there's the return of Brett Dalton as Grant Ward - awesome! Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for What If... and our listener feedback segment - sorry, no CoulSass Report this week!...

Another midseason finale of sorts for Agents of SHIELD with Self Control, and we have a LOT of questions, especially with the vignettes we saw of those who are living their lives in The Framework. A trio of heart-wrenching emotional scenes really had the waterworks going for most of the audience, and the next "pod" is sure to be something completely unexpected, not the least of which is the return of a certain twice-dead character. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Self...

The LMD arc is heating up for its ultimate conclusion in this week's Agents of SHIELD episode entitled The Man Behind the Shield. While Radcliffe goes off to the Framework presumably to be with Agnes, Aida is left with the dirty work alongside (or perhaps in opposition to) the Superior. With the big reveal at the end, who will end up on top, and how will we get there in only one episode? Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for The Man Behind the Shield, Faith’s CoulSass moments,...

A new villain takes over for an old and a new Inhuman shows up in an unexpected place in the latest Agents of SHIELD episode entitled simply BOOM. We have a few bones to pick with Mack and with a few moves the veteran agents botched, but we couldn't get enough of Aida, Agnes, and the implications for Radcliffe, May, and Coulson. We may even *gasp* disagree about Aida's supposedly emotional reactions. Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for BOOM, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our...

The return of Agent(s) Koenig was the highlight of this week's Agents of SHIELD episode, Hot Potato Soup. With the Darkhold falling back into the wrong hands, we're introduced to two more potential villains moving forward: the Superior and Fitz's father. But at least we got a "Philinda" kiss! Kind of... Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Hot Potato Soup, Faith’s CoulSass Report, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about LMD Radcliffe's manipulation of Fitz,...

The title of this week's Agents of SHIELD episode, Wake Up, obviously refers to May's attempt to break out of her simulation, but could it also refer to Coulson's misguided attempt to circumvent the political realities of their new situation? Could Fitz's epiphany be a sort of wake up call as well? It could refer to a lot of things! Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Wake Up, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about the true...

A secret is revealed in this week's Agents of SHIELD episode entitled The Patriot. How will the dynamic change now that Phil is calling the shots? And oh my goodness, what will LMD May do with the discovery of her true nature? Dave's got a crackpot theory about that one that you won't want to miss! Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for The Patriot, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about the unfathomable duplicity of Fitz, the...

The LMD arc begins in earnest with Broken Promises, an episode the explores the possibility of an AI suddenly achieving consciousness via the Darkhold. Or is it all just an elaborate ploy based on the ending we saw? Along with the return of Senator Nadeer and her brother, the stories this week drew us right back in after the long Agents of SHIELD hiatus! Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for Broken Promises, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This...

As the winter finale of Agents of SHIELD, The Laws of Inferno Dynamics brought a lot of story arcs to a head, and we're left wondering where the LMD storyline will continue moving forward. Are Aida's intentions good in her own mind, or has the Darkhold gotten its tendrils into her? Is Eli gone for good, and if Robbie's not done as Coulson suggests, how will he get back this time? And then, of course, there's May... Join us for show news, commentary and analysis for The Laws of Inferno...
