First off, I would like to mention that I will try to keep this review as spoiler free as I can, but beware, as some of the stuff I mention are some Minor Spoilers, and could ruin some of the experiences for you.
Okay, lets talk finales! Right of the bat, I would like to say that this episode is perhaps the best one, even better than their midseason finale. So many great action sequences as well as heartfelt moments.
Obviously, the episode is 2 hours long, so it is packed with more stuff than they could on Ep 10 or last years season finale, showing you just how much AoS has advanced. There are really three storylines in this episode. Ward, Kara, and Bobby, Cal, Coulson, and Fitz-Simmons, and finally, Skye, Jiaying, and the Inhumans. Every character had their moment to shine, for example( some Minor Spoilers)
-Skye: She has a moral path she has to take, which kind of goes throughout the episode
-Coulson- He did not really do alot, but he has a great fight scene, and a pretty sentimental moment around the middle. He also suffers a loss.
-Raina- Has a HUGE part in this episode, if you consider what happened and its ramifications throughout the episode
-Cal- He does something, that didn't really work, but redeemed himself in the end
-Bobbi- She has some intense hand to hand fights, and she also does something that gets pretty emotional.
-Ward- He has a more menacing, yet sympathetic feel to him, and, at one point, you really feel for him
-Kara- She feels more menacing, and just wants revenge.
-Fitz- he has the best line in the entire episode (maybe rivaled with a couple others) and he also does something in that same scene, which might take his character a different path..
-Simmons- She also does not have a central role in these episodes, but has a touching moment with Fitz
The overall story has an overbearing sense of tension, making you cringe a little between each commercial break, anticipating what was to come. There IS a cliffhanger ending, and yes, it is something you want resolved in an instant, but we have to wait till September. Sigh. It is more cliffhanger-y than last years.
Overall, I would give this episode a 4.7/5, it would have been a 5,but there are stuff in the middle that dragged a bit.
If you don't watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, START, Season 1 is on Netflix, and you got the summer. Do it, you will NOT regret it!
