Self Control

This is where the show proves it doesn't need the rest of the Marvel Universe to stand on. Now I want these characters to have roles in the movies, not the other way around. BRAVO to whoever came up with the season 4 storyline involving Ghostrider and the LMDs. I wrote a review on the main AoS page where I compared it to Star Trek Next Generation. Around Season 3 they proved they could stand apart from the original series. This is the episode that definitively proves AoS is its own man.

overall, like I said before, this is the best episode of Agents of SHIELD that I've seen so far. The episode was emotional and full of tension, the action was exciting and the acting from everyone was amazing. It was a fitting end to the LMD arc and sets up what looks to be another exciting story arc within the framework

I won't spoil it for those who have not seen it yet, but I just want to point it out that this was THE best episode of entire series. Truly amazing. The writing, direction, music, acting and suspense was top notch. Jed has been an amazing writer since the start but this episode showed that he is as good Director as well. Elizabeth and Ian have been the best actors on show since the very beginning but I was surprised by Chloe's acting in this episode. She has come a long way since season one and she has totally refined and improved her acting. Mingna was equally brilliant in her small scenes.

Going into the LMD arc, I feared it won't come close to the awesomeness of the previous Ghost Rider arc of Season 4 but to my surprise, I liked LMD arc more than the Ghost Rider one because of how personal the threat became for our Agents.

All in all, Amazing episode. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Good work AoS Team!

Sparse and great use of CGI, great action, insane drama and emotion, smart storytelling coupled with great uses of the past, the episode started great and it didn't falter or stumble anywhere in particular, this was great storytelling all around, it's everything that a show can be and maybe even more at some points, i'm constantly amazed at how much they can do with such a small budget, this is way better than other shows of the type that overuse CGI to the point where it looks horrible. If you're a fan you'll certainly enjoy this and if you aren't this episode might even change your mind.

I won't spoil anything. I just want to let you know that this episode will blow you away. I didn't expect it to be this good. One of the best episode. I didn't like the LMD story line at first, but it just kept getting better and better. Especially this episode, it's better than you could imagine. It has drama, twist and action packed. It has everything I want to see. One of the best. Can't wait for the next episode.
