Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: T.A.H.I.T.I. (2014)
Season 1, Episode 14
4/10
T.R.A.C.K.S. was great, T.A.H.I.T.I. just detracts.

I found this episode to be virulent. Overall, I've enjoyed the show immensely and the previous installment, T.R.A.C.K.S., was a fun narrative foray. T.A.H.I.T.I., however, went down a moral dilemma rabbit hole that only detracted from the story by introducing a banal break in character. Don't get me wrong, there are promising bits of cohesive plot development wrapped around some clever arching and the story clearly moves forward.

In this episode, our airborne heroes go underground to root out a miracle drug to save Skye. In the process, they torture and beat a prisoner, disobey direct orders, break into a classified facility, and even kill two agents who were guilty of nothing more than doing their jobs. There was absolutely no excuse for this type of shitty writing. It was the first AOS epi I had to force myself to finish. I give this series an easy 7.5 (at least what I've seen so far) but this episode got a 4.
