A Life Spent

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 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
