Blue Skies

In "The Team", AoS continues to prove that it's a quality show. While I believe the first half of season three was definitely not the best, the second half has wholeheartedly renewed my interest for the show. In what is essentially a cat and mouse episode, Coulson and his team attempt to figure out who Hive has possessed.

For what little time the Secret Warriors have as a team, they make an impression. And a good one at that. The raid on the HYDRA base was entertaining. I have to say that I absolutely loved the more stylistic way Lincoln's powers were demonstrated in this episode.

In fact, while everything in this episode was enjoyable and worked well, I found that Lincoln was easily my favorite thing in this episode. I absolutely hated Lincoln back in season two. However, he's been slowly knocking my favorite characters out of the way, making a spot for himself as my second favorite character on this show.

The reveal towards the end of who is actually infected raises the stakes as season three enters into its final five episodes.

If the second half of this season so far is anything to go by, AoS looks to be in "blue skies from here on out".

An absolutely amazing episode! One of the best in the season! I really enjoyed to watch this. It was interesting to figure out who was mind-controlled and killed Malick. Joey was the obvious answer which seemed too easy. Yo-Yo reacted quite similarly to how I would have in her shoes. She was very genuine which crossed her off the list. Lincoln wanted to stay at the SHIELD base. By process of elimination, I knew Daisy had to be the imposter. Also, she saw Lincoln put the orb thingy away so it just helped justify my reasoning

This is hands down the best episode of the season and among the top 10 of the show for sure. it is built as a mystery, and the first time I watched it I actually had the mystery spoiled for me so I expected not to enjoy it, but it was so well written that I started to question the spoilers, and in the end it didn't matter because today when I re-watched it, knowing full well how it end, I was even more impressed by how it all works! and it's not just the mystery, the character dynamics this episode were off the charts, like Yoyo and Joey having fun banter and getting to speak in Spanish, or Fitzsimmons bonding over an autopsy..not to mention, Powers Boothe may he rest in peace gives yet another powerful performance. There is a scene in the episode where Coulson walks the hallways of the base, it is excellently directed and is just the epitome of tv storytelling.
