Agents of SHIELD Season 5 Episode 1 and 2 Review

The highly anticipated season 5 premiere of Agents of SHIELD just aired and guys my mind is blown. Everything I expected this season to do did not happen and I'm left in a vat of confusion. I'm just constantly stunned at how amazingly well this show is written and I love being so confused and on the edge of my seat cause that's how you know shit is going down! Let's dive in cause so much happened.

Shall we start with where our SHIELD team ended up? Everyone but Fitz were somehow teleported into the future (how many years we have no idea yet) where the Earth was ravaged by earthquakes and the Kree arrived to save a small population of humanity but treat the humans as second class citizens (slaves if we're being honest.) I have so many questions about this. Why would the Kree come to save humanity in the first place? Why didn't SHIELD or someone else on Earth (if SHIELD is gone) create a space station to save people instead? Why create this world in which the humans are pets instead of someway else? Also I know we have to pretend like the Marvel movies don't exist but in what universe would none of the Avengers or Asgardians or Inhumans or any other friendly aliens besides Kree step in? Also why do the Kree hate humans so much? From what we saw in Guardians, humans aren't despised. So many questions.

I'm calling it right now though. I bet this future is one where the Avengers lost to Thanos and he destroyed the world. I call bullshit on Deke's theory that Daisy "quaked the Earth to pieces" cause no. I'm also sad that Fitz isn't up here with the rest but I understand it's cause Iain was filming something else while they filmed this premiere so actually I'm kind of pumped for when we get back to him on Earth in the present day to see how he fixes the situation. Also I know Nick Blood who played Lance Hunter is coming back this season so anyone else want a Fitz/Hunter bromance to save the day? Just me? Okay.... I'll just live in my fantasy corner.

We met some new characters as well in Deke and Tess who will be on our side it seems and a few assholes. I love that even in a post-apocalyptic world in which Kree rule all there are still asshole humans who think they're better than other humans. Like hey morons humans should stick together in this scenario. I mean seriously. Anyway Deke and Tess seem interesting though I don't know enough about them to give my opinion yet. But seriously, no Deke and Daisy relationship please. I still want her and Robbie together but I can see the chemistry and I know the show will go there on Deke and Daisy so I guess I'll have to grin and bear it. Tess is played by the same actress who played Maya on The 100 and I didn't like her there so I have to try and ignore my feelings about Maya to enjoy her here cause it wouldn't be fair to dislike her when she's playing a new character.

Sidenote, this season feels so much like a mix of Legends of Tomorrow, The 100 and Hunger Games. I mean what the hell was with that reaping thing? Everyone with a red badge has to kill a person? Ugh. That's how you keep people complacent.

I loved how the team appeared and were so badass killing Kree left and right without any problem especially with YoYo and Daisy's powers. I still wish the show had found a way to keep more Inhumans on the team or on the show in general cause I do love them (unlike the Inhumans show which let's not even talk about - shivers.) I assume that the team is going to try to find a way to save these people and possibly kill all the Kree or something like that which I'm going to dislike. In these kind of time travel stories I'm always like guys focus on getting back to your time cause if you fix the timeline in the past this future won't exist but if you fix the future, nothing really changes and your lives are still shit.

Also let's take a moment to talk about poor Jemma who's been turned into this weird deaf slave who can only hear when her master talks. Shit. Jemma's going to murder that guy or Fitz will when he finally shows up.

The promo for next week looks crazy. Still no Fitz but a lot of Daisy kicking Kree ass which I am here for! Also Deke needs to take it down a notch. Tess literally said that no one really knows how the world was destroyed so Deke's is just one theory. I hope we get some more answers next week and also dial back the new characters cause I'm really not going to enjoy them constantly telling our team to blend in and stop fighting and blah blah blah. It's going to get real annoying real fast. Can't wait to see more though cause SHIELD is killing it and is still my favorite show on air!

Don't forget to check out my Supergirl review Monday. It's the midseason finale for all the Arrowverse shows and Gotham so keep an eye out for my thoughts!
