I have the Ace of Base song in my head
Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD
E4 have pushed this back an hour and five minutes - never a good sign - and meaning I’ll probably watch it on catch-up from now on. Oh, well, if I get my catch-up act together, I can watch Poldark live. I’m certainly not watching Celebs Go Dating.
6.12 The Sign
A slightly more swaggery-than-I-remember Flint, and one who was too confused to listen to Yo-Yo and Mack got taken over by Izel. Not good.
May has decided the Coulson part of Sarge will rein in the other part, so I trust that will happen, and I don’t think even Daisy will fight her.
Wizard!Deke impressed his grandparents and Daisy with his production line of Izel body-takeover repelling doohickeys.
The list of people who want to end Izel increased from Sarge and Piper to include Yo-Yo after she was made to hurt Flint.
They topped Wizard!Deke by having Fitz, in particular, learn about his whole copying SHIELD and aliens and monetising their ideas line, because he’d brought part of his corporation to the lighthouse. (Er, how? I thought it was initially his Framework device, which I can believe he’d smuggle in more easily than a branch office.) Anyway, the mix of grandson trying to gain his grandparents’ approval, Fitz’s righteous wrath at the stealing, Simmons trying to temper it and the return of Deke the business guru amused me. ‘They identify as my grandparents.’ Hee.
Meanwhile, the other reunited family unit went Izel hunting and found Shrike. At least Daisy admitted she’d jinxed them on that. The ladies also found Coulson remnants in Sarge, who has been dour.
As Deke, goaded by an unimpressed Bobo, wound himself up, he reached a really nice emotional moment where he called Jemma out on not letting him grieve with her as he had a right to as a family member. Off he went to be a hero - loved the ‘what are you doing here?’ moment between him and Flint and got an ‘Agent Shaw’ from Mack. (I thought he’d end up being rescued by Daisy, though.)
But for all their success there were masses of Shrike and it looked like they’d be too late on the Izel front. (When she started unzipping her top, I rolled my eyes and expected the worst, but she changed into a robe befitting Ascencion, which Buffy has taught me to mutter ‘not good,’ at.)
Flint showed another aspect of being a manboy out of time.
I have to admit to being confused about where Deke was guided to - was it the ship that was being attacked by zombies? It seemed too empty. I can never get the various ship straight.
After reuniting, Mack started going ‘wait, what?’ about Daisy’s trust in Sarge, she started going ‘wait, what?’ about their sending their working vehicle away on ambulance duty for ‘someone who wasn’t real’ - er, how less real is he than Sarge, though? Yo-Yo got to play referee from the school of Jemma Simmons, and though Daisy and Mack weren’t listening to her, the attacking Shrike zombies got their attention.
Meanwhile, Sarge and May approached Izel, now silent, beholding her SFX triumph. She played up the ‘more than old friends card’. He tried to kill her. Couldn’t. I DID NOT comprehend why May didn’t take the sword off Sarge and do the killing myself. More chatter, including May, poignantly speaking in favour of love, and trying to get Sarge to remember the very start of the show (nice touch). And, even if you weren't like me, firmly Trusting May's Instincts, we were prepped by pooh-poohing Mack’s warning about devils with familiar faces, because part-aliens with familiar faces are different, which even May had admitted to expect it to work.
So, Sarge stabbing May and pushing her over to the other side was a shocker. (I don’t expect to see Robbie Reyes returning while they blow the SFX budget on rendering that.)
The sting was the continuing adventures of Enoch and the Chromicon rebellion. Isiah was hot, but had been turned from anthropologist to hunter. Ruh-roh, I would say if I cared, but I don’t, although I know they’ll play their part in the main plot eventually.
Good episode for bringing back past characters and events usefully, and a stellar Deke episode, punctuated beautifully by Fitz yelling at him - I know Jemma finds them exhausting, but I am entertained.
