Agents of SHIELD - Afterlife
Finally! It's been a rough few episodes, but at last one I REALLY LOVE from the show.
There's a lot of meat on the bone that I really want to get into here. ( spoilers, obvsly )

I love how much Mo loves to write for Dichen. Hopefully we get to see some Belonging-level stuff from her as the season progresses!
I KNOW!!!!! SHIELDlite was so exciting a concept, and then, wow, it really fizzled in execution. And I really feel like they did a bit of character assassination on Agent Weaver to get there, too. A huge disappointment since she is one of so few women of color in the MCU. (Let's not talk about how Gonzales & Sitwell are the only significant Latinx characters...)
I agree, but then, on good episodes like this, I almost feel like the rocky stuff that annoyed me in the past actually enriched and informed the storylines that I like? Like, I sort of glossed over my Fitzsimmons issues in this post, but that's a really solid example -- I hated how Fitz treated Jemma in S1 of the show, but that changed and I hated how he treated Jemma in the first half of S2 even more, which makes it all the sweeter that he has maybe learned his lesson?! (Maybe I speak too soon.) And I've really thought they've overused Cal, who I'm not interested in, but if that feeds into a greater storyline about Jiaying, I'm all for it!
