Featured review
The title of this episode must be referring to the people who approved the script. Yes Men is chock full of inconsistencies and sloppy writing thrown in for dramatic effect or to push the plot along in a clunky fashion. It is essentially a standalone, filler episode that doesn't actually add anything to the plot, save for a slight bit at the end that doesn't really fit with prior characterization. It's such a mess and so unnecessary to the overall series plot line that viewers simply ought to skip it entirely.
Lorelei's powers only work on men, so let's send in a team of ... men. That seems strategically sound. Knowing she can seduce him, Ward stands around, gun at ready, and ... never fires with his new, exciting gun that was introduced for no apparent reason. Rather than an Asgardian referring to the realm as Midgard, it's always "Earth" or "your world", which is fairly inconsistent. And why exactly are we supposed to feel threatened by a woman gathering a bunch of bikers? You would think SHIELD could handle a handful of guys on Harleys.
The characterization of both Coulson and May is also off at moments, which further detracts from the episode's coherency. Perhaps that was an attempt at character development, but if so, it was far too abrupt to feel realistic. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has had it's ups and downs in this first season, but this might just be one of its lowest points. Hopefully the season can end strong, or at least stronger than this.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBecause this takes place just after Thor: The Dark World (2013), when Sif says that Odin ordered Lorelei back alive, it is more than possible that it was actually the masquerading Loki giving the order. To what end is unknown.
- GoofsWhen Ward and Lorelei are talking in Caesars Palace the small bit of padding on the strap of Ward's bag is mostly in front of his shoulder. The camera then switches to Lorelei for about three seconds and when it changes back the strap is higher up on his shoulder, Ward didn't do this himself as he was standing still.
- Quotes
Lady Sif: [about Lorelei] She bends and shapes the will of men for her own purposes.
Melinda May: Only men. Her powers don't work on women?
Lady Sif: No. Men have an inherent weakness we do not share.
Leo Fitz: I can't imagine what she's talking about.
