Visually too, this was a top-notch episode. And I simply loved the ingenious use of Sarge’s portal device that played so brilliantly in reuniting our separated characters. Despite his relatively less screentime, Winston James Francis has managed to strike a chord with us viewers, allowing us a glimpse into Jaco’s humanity, something largely a result of his backstory being revealed. It’s almost like all of Sarge’s aides were misguided good guys and by the end, it almost feels like all the enmity from the beginning has paved the way for a more mature conversation. It was pleasantly refreshing to see Jaco come around and redeem himself in the final moments. Putting two and two together, it follows that Izel has snuck in aboard the ship somehow and further revelations should help shed light on exactly what set of her powers helped her do this, while also revealing Sarge’s backstory and past. There’s no way May would pull that stark of a move, as much as she says it and ever since they returned from Izel’s ship, something’s been amiss with Davis. The novelty of the cliffhanger, while intriguing, is quickly given away if you have a look at the next episode’s preview. Agents of SHIELD has been able to successfully bring some more obscure comic characters to life in different ways (Hive / Grant Ward) so it makes sense that Sarge could be a known comic enemy in disguise.

It’s almost as if our “heroes” are trapped in a battle between one baddie vs another, and at one point Izel was dangerously close to revealing Sarge’s true identity, calling Coulson as merely the skin that this entity has inhabited. Once again, the back and forth between Izel and Sarge is fun to witness because they both paint each other as the real villains when in reality, they both sound like antagonists at this point. Of course it wouldn’t be a show if that actually happened so without giving too much away, the plan is foiled, leading to some more interesting set pieces aboard Izel’s ship and the truck.
With Daisy, May, Deke and Snowflake headed for the Shrike with an atom-bomb aboard, Sarge’s mission of destroying the Shrike and taking out Izel with her once and for all seems ever so close. And as the crew celebrates their presumed victory, the episode finishes on an intriguing, yet somewhat predictable cliffhanger, that should set fan theories abuzz.Ĭarrying on from last week’s Part 1, Part 2 had a relentless narrative for pretty much two-thirds of the show. wrapped up its two parter episode Collision Course in style as it pretended to conclude Izel and the Shrike’s storyline in style, while finally reuniting Fitz and Simmons with the remaining crew after almost a year (literally).
