On the creepier side of the equation, Hive has all of Ward’s memories and even referred to Daisy as “Skye” at the end there. Based on the episode previews it looks like Daisy will be struggling between her personal loyalties and Hive’s control/influence, and I’m curious to see how that battle plays out. Some commenters here have suggested Daisy might go “the Magneto route,” and while I don’t see it going quite that far, I do think she’s shown herself to have some of the same flashes of protectiveness towards other Inhumans, arrogance about the advantages her powers give her, and a willingness to use extreme measures to achieve her goals.Īdd to that her lifelong search for a home and the sense of “otherness” that being an Inhuman has brought to her relationship with the rest of her SHIELD family, and it’s not hard to see how Hive’s message of Inhuman pride and unity could be appealing to her, making it all the easier for the infection to take hold. There’s a question here, I think, of how much is Hive directly controlling the Inhumans he draws to him and how much is him choosing Inhumans who are already drawn to his ideals. That they went with Daisy (and had her use that previous information to throw Team SHIELD off the scent as well) gives this season a lot of new potential, and I’m both nervous and excited to see how that develops. Skye and Ward hook up? Nah, he’s a bad guy! Skye loves him anyway? Nah, she thinks he’s an asshole! Not to say the writing is perfect (look no further than their handling of Rosalind’s and Stephanie’s deaths for proof that it isn’t) but there’s often an attempt to swerve away from the obvious answer that I find rather refreshing.ĪoS has, at different times, gone with both the expected and unexpected answer, which helps maintain tension during episodes like these. In the back of my head I kept thinking how much more interesting it would be if Daisy was the one who got turned by Hive, but then deciding the creators would never actually go that route because Protagonist!, so it would likely be Lincoln based on previous information.
#Secret agents of shield series
During Season One, what really made me like this series was the way its creators understood story tropes and audience expectations and did their best to play with them. AoS does “inside man” episodes pretty regularly, so I suppose I could criticize it for redundancy, but it generally does them well so I have a hard time complaining about it. I have a lot of scattered thoughts about this one, the first being that it zipped right by and I had a great time watching it.
