Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Providence [1x18] ✦ Full-Length Watchalong Reaction & Review
Added 2024-02-15 23:00:05 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I am going to try my best to finish the season next week so that we can start Daredevil Season 1 before the month is over. No guarantees, but I'm going to try. 🧡
Please enjoy! Looking forward to your comments on this and thank you SO much for your comments on the last episode reaction. I had a blast reading them. [Direct link here.]
Thanks for everything!

Good reaction (as always)! MCU connections: - Some throwaway mentions of Fury, Hill, Cap, and Romanoff - Some scenes from CA:WS where we see the helicarriers fall on top of the Triskelion This was a bit of an inbetween episode, dealing with the fallout from last episode, and setting up the final dominos for the remainder of the season. I really like the great dialog (especially from Garrett) in this episode. And we got introduced to Eric Koenig, another character from the comics, where he first appeared in 1966(!), though certainly modernized here. I really like the actor (Patton Oswalt) so it was a nice surprise when he showed up in the show. I own an exact replica of that orange lanyard Koenig has around his neck. I wore it to the Dutch premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron where I cosplayed as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. 😅

2024-02-16 22:43:58 +0000 UTCIt's been a while since I watched the full episodes of the show (and not just reactions to the show) so there's a lot of lines and things I forgot or missed when I originally watched/rewatched that I catch now that people tend to leave out of reactions. There was a throwaway line in this ep that they reference later as another throwaway humorous line, but I'm positive that it's gotta be a weird comic Easter Egg. Not gonna say it 'cause the recall of it comes later. Anyway, it just made me chuckle that it was referenced before 'cause I remember it from the 2nd time mentioned. About Ward, man, I remember being SO pissed at him and people were like, "Oh he's more interesting now," and I was like, "Maybe...but FUCK THAT GUY! Somebody needs to kill him...soon." It's great writing, but I hated him and was NOT looking for some redemption arc for him. I was like, "He's HYDRA. Not only has he killed innocent people, he's lied to his team the whole time. He IS the enemy they were created to fight. Nope, screw him." That's how I felt then. How I feel now? That would be telling.

2024-02-16 09:40:38 +0000 UTCThe story continues. Some things revealed. Remember in 1x10 Coulson revealed to ward that he had a relationship with a cellist(that scene with coulson not turning the steering wheel properly) this episode Garrett says that tip really helped. They used the cellist info to convince Coulson to go into the memory machine in 1x11. Ward speech to raina about all the ways he used them really hurts .

2024-02-16 02:04:32 +0000 UTCFunny enough Garrett thought the phrase was cut off a limb which probably why he named the project centipede. (Many legs)

2024-02-16 01:02:31 +0000 UTCBrett's range of acting really grows in the past few episodes you cant love but hate him at the same time, very well played. I have to say my favorite cameo like character is played in this episode by Patton Oswalt the way he pulls Coulson to the side and tells him about Fury, he admirs Coulson but also tries to be bossy with it is kinda funny. I mean he has been living and running this secret base for how many years lol

2024-02-16 01:01:01 +0000 UTCUnlike Brett (who as mentioned in the comments last episode only found out Ward was Hydra just before 1x15), Bill knew Garrett was Hydra from the get go and played him accordingly, so there are some hints you can catch when rewatching. Incidentally the way the 'Clairvoyant' is explained away in the show is actually pretty close to real life - the AoS showrunners weren't allowed to mention Hydra in the show until CA:TWS, hence the references to Centipede and the Clairvoyant. Lots of artefacts returning from earlier in the season - the 0-8-4 from 1x02, the Berserker staff from 1x08, Gravitonium from 1x03 are the obvious ones, but we also see Donny Gill's ruined weather machine from 1x12 in the tag. Little fun bit of continuity - the aerial shot of where the team is walking at ~31:00 is an actual aerial view of the co-ordinates listed on Coulson's badge

2024-02-16 00:21:38 +0000 UTCAs far as who knows Fury is alive at this point. Remember in Winter Soldier at the end, his is at his "grave". He tells Cap and Falcon, if anyone is looking for him they can find him, "right here". So yes, Fury fully plans on a very small group that knows he's alive. And yes, lot's of people think / thought the Ward character jumped to a new level now that he's not such a "goody goody", straight laced agent type.
