Agents of Shield Season 5 Episode 16 Review
Wholly unexpected flashbacks, Batman! Agents of S.H.I.E.Fifty.D. Flavor five Episode 16 definitely startled me, that'southward for sure.
Yes, we had the gravitonium, but up until now it seemed like the writers had completely forgotten how it absorbed Dr. Franklin Hall mode dorsum in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season ane Episode 3.
And that wasn't the but blast from the past in this latest installment, either!
Recall how that obnoxious businessman Ian Quinn (David Conrad) made a pain of himself working with John Garrett and Hydra and and then only sort of vanished from the scene?

Amazingly (and amusingly, if black sense of humour is your matter), turns out the testify hadn't forgotten him, either. Given that the gravitonium "asked" for Quinn, one wonders how much of Dr. Hall is still within the mass.
In the comics, Hall became the super-villain Graviton. If that is happening here, possibly he wanted to take revenge on Quinn for what happened in that Season ane episode.
What would happen, though, if confronted with Phil Coulson? One of the brief flashes of Dr. Hall, as seen by Carl Creel, included a rather heated remark by Hall to Coulson:
S.H.I.E.L.D. is just as guilty of the aforementioned thing, experimentation without thought of event!
And, boy, does that sentence not also describe Hale siccing the gravitonium on Creel! Talk about unintended consequences!
Considering of that "experiment," Creel went to see Coulson. Coulson told Creel about Talbot. Creel bankrupt Coulson out and too rescued Talbot. Coulson and Talbot escaped the facility.
Not just that, Ruby-red began to explicitly disobey her mother'due south orders in a rather murderous expression of teenage rebellion out of her jealousy over the whole gravitonium Destroyer of Worlds thing.
Overnice job, villain!

Plus, we got some downright crawly snark out of Coulson, who clearly expressed his opinion on Hale and her plan in no uncertain terms.
You can tell the general in that location'southward nothing she tin exercise to me to make me join her Evil League of Evil.
Coulson
And Talbot continued to demonstrate why he's i of my favorite recurring characters. Please, Agents of Due south.H.I.E.L.D. writers, please don't kill him off after all this!
While Creel may accept saved Coulson'southward life, he but did then because Talbot begged/ordered/inspired him to do so!
We also got one more stealth callback near the end, too, when Talbot wished Coulson had sent them somewhere tropical, and Coulson replied that white sandy beaches aren't really his thing anymore.
TAHITI'southward not exactly a magical place, after all.
The truly dark part of "Inside Voices" came from the Mack/Yo-Yo/Simmons/Fitz story dorsum at the Lighthouse.
Betrayal from friends (or seeming-friends) has been a long-fourth dimension theme on Agents of Southward.H.I.E.50.D., but this 1 cut particularly deep. From his very first advent, Mack has been one of the well-nigh staunchly moral and endearing characters.
Simmons planned the double-cross in a very common cold, calculating way, assured in the apparent unkillability of herself, Yo-Yo, and Fitz and equally convinced of the necessity of their mission.
For Simmons and Yo-Yo, who loves Mack, to betray him just felt and then wrong. Tin can the squad ever be whole again after something like this? Everyone was terrified nearly Fitz turning into a supervillain, channeling his evil Framework self.
But Simmons and Yo-Yo clearly demonstrated that Fitz's Framework dissociation wasn't the only emotional consequence out in that location.
Obviously, this betrayal isn't on the same level as Ward being Hydra. Only information technology's a articulate sign of the profound cracks that are forming in the team due to their many, many traumas.
These are people in desperate need of a whole hospital total of shrinks. Also bad they're the simply ones standing in the way of the end of the world.
Unless, of course, they really crusade the end of the world.
Yo-Yo: You lot can't protect me forever, Mack.
Mack: Did yous ever terminate to think mayhap yous're alive in the time to come because I *did*?
Too bad Yo-Yo didn't take that to middle.

Finally, some contrasted thoughts and musings before I turn the word over to y'all:
- While everyone else seemed to pretty much ignore Deke'due south remarks on Daisy'southward leadership behavior, May actually brought information technology up. There are points on both sides.
- I tin't assistance but feel for Robin'southward mother, who basically knows that she'south going to die at some point in not as well long and tin't practice a affair to help or comfort her daughter.
- What will happen to Carl Creel now? (And shouldn't a single good punch from him have basically smashed Ruby'southward skeleton?)
- I hate to do this, just let's start taking bets on how long earlier Talbot has to perform a Heroic Cede and die without seeing his family unit once more.

Were yous shocked at the turnaround against Mack? What almost Coulson and Talbot's escape? May and Robin? And how nearly them flashbacks?
