Agents of SHIELD - 'The Things We Bury' and 'Ye Who Enter Here'

And what do flashbacks mean? NAZIS!
It's the mythology episode, as SHIELD begin to close in on the city revealed in The Writing on the Walls and Whitehall's backstory with the obelisk, its guardians and Skye are fleshed out. This gives us a chance for some Nazis, some evil surgery and Dichen Lachman from Dollhouse in a small guest role. In the B plot, Ward goes after his brother with vengeance on his mind.

Skye and Ward remain my least favourite things about the series, which is a shame since they have such a major role in the arc. Triplett also has a role in this week's epsiode! He gets shot, enabling the Doctor to use him as a bargaining chip. Um... yay.

There's also a cameo from Hayley Atwell, so there's that.

Oh, fuck you! FUuuuuck you!
Rolling on to 'Ye Who Enter Here' and SHIELD go after the city and Skye goes toe to toe with Agent 33, who earlier gave May a run for her money.

This is the set-up for the season finale, so it ends in a bad place, with half the team in danger of death, half trapped in a bad place and one sacrificed to the monster. Sadly, it is none of the ones I would like to see go.

I guess on the plus side they didn't throw Triplett under the bus, but it's pretty much as bad.

Oh, and Mac might have been into some dodgy double-agent shit with Bobbi.
