Each week Movie Bob does a write up on the Escapist that goes into all the details about the show and what possible outcomes it might have.
Here you can see all the past write ups - might show you somethings you might have missed.

To me it looks like a frost giant.
It kinda does and doesn't….
It looks funky I admit, but Frost Giants aren't new to earth.
That being said, the Kree theory makes more sense and well….considering what they did this last episode looks like a certain superhero origin story.
I haven't watched the show for awhile but has Hacker girl ever explained why she's working with the people who are against everything she believed in, in the first episode? and is she still single handedly taking down trained men and women because she punches a punching bag every know and then?

The bad ass fighting skill is kind of BS but at least the show her doing some training work now and then. And for the first question, it has been one of the mayor plot points of the series so far so yeah it has been explained.
Yes hacker girl has explained why.
and lady sif appears
I liked this episode. Having Lady Sif around was fun and I especially enjoyed her scene with May. Lorelei was an interesting enough villain too. Even though she didn't bother having her pawns destroy the recently fixed device that could contain her…
A couple other minor things that were awkward but I can gloss over those. But I can't with Ward getting raped and nobody caring, apparently. That was awful.

Oh yeah. I'm sure Ward felt so violated having sex with a hot Asgardian Goddess. Poor guy is gonna need therapy to get over that.
I enjoyed this episode. Sif was kick ass. Her comment about how Odin wanted Lorelei back alive was rather intriguing given the ending of The Dark World, and that little bit where Sif rattles off that list of all the blue Alien species she came across, like the Kree being thrown in there.
Also, wtf are they playing at with these stupid multiple week long breaks in between episodes? Surely that must be damaging the ratings somewhat, why the hell do they keep doing this?
On this show he probably won't need therapy, no. I'd still have liked a comment about it. Maybe it'll come up next episode…

What's to comment about? Its not rape. He may have been under her control, but she only amplified in him what was already there, and i very much doubt he's all to bothered being used like that, i doubt any guy would.

No, no. It's rape. Males can be raped too.

Just a quick remark about Ward not having been in control of himself, I suppose. Instead of punching him in the face. :/
I have no idea about the comics but I didn't get the impression that Lorelei's powers amplified anything. They just created some sort of adoration. And Ward might be fine with it afterwards. I reckon we'll never hear about it again so he probably is. Still doesn't make sex without consent okay.

Lets put it this way, 99.9% of guys in Ward's position aren't gonna be too bothered if the exact same thing happened to them.
Gotta love the double-standard when it comes to rape. When it happens to a woman, it's horrible and the rapist needs to be shot in the face. But to a man, psh he was lucky to get to do it with such a hot babe!
This attitude is just as bad as slut-shaming (where if a dude has sex, he's manly and if a woman has sex, she's a slut) and I hate screen writers who don't see how terrible and offensive it is.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
As to the episode, I detest the cliche seductress tempts the male character and then uses it to toy with his girlfriend trope. it's been done to death and as usual, Shield does absolutely nothing to give it an interesting spin but does it as blandly and as cheaply as it can down to the generic and offensive male rape isn't rape logic.
This episode was shit, but a lot of people loved it because of an extraneous appeareance by an established MCU character. Maybe they can dish out some Warriors Three over the coming episodes (all played by easily affordable TV actors) and people might be tricked into thinking this was an overall good inaugeral season.

Agent May isn't his girlfriend and who he really has feelings for was made pretty clear because of what she did.
Love interest or person he had a fling with, who cares about semantics? They had a thing which they clearly touched on this episode so they did dumb emotional manipulation cliches like making out in front of her or rubbing it in her face that he never loved her. Blegh.
ur a hard person to please arent ya?
Its not asking too much for the show to be decent.
Hell, a dozen episodes in it should be getting good by now. Care about the characters at least a little.
Compared to other shows that find their footing and are interesting immediatley, it's just… meh.
You just know that this show has no ambition to be good or meaningful. It is perfectly content to entertain the lowest common denominator and knows ratings will be decent enough to chug along for the coming while. It has like one overarching plotline (what happened to Coulson?) and it's so gosh darn proud of it that it can't stop mentioning that mystery every possible moment.
Compare that to something like Arrow, which keeps expanding its cast, plotlines, characterizations, mysteries, universe with every episode on a much shittier budget.
Or Sleepy Hollow which had no right in being good and yet is. Or previous Whedon shows. Yes, his franchises often have shaky starts (or get cancelled immediately) but usually there's at the very least, strong characterization going on.
Its especially wierd on a show that already had its universe built for it.

How about this? Yes it was rape and wrong, but he doesn't care. Just because a crime happened doesn't mean u have to get Mad or take action. Stone people get robbed at gun point are a little shaken up momentarily but then get over it quickly because they have more money and weren't harmed. If they wanted to go the way of him feeling violated then I'm fine with it but there's no need to loose u r shit because they didnt.

In Whedon we trust
Or rather we should say he has very very very little to do with this.

His name is on it.
That's about it.
Mostly it seems to be his far less talented brother Zack in charge.
If Joss had anything to really do with the show we would have cared about, or at least been intrigued by, the characters by the end of the first double length episode. The rest of the show might still be garbage, but he would have at least given a good hook.
Recap of PaleyFest
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/notyetamovie/news/?a=96621
– Clark Gregg on reprising Coulson for TV: “I found myself suddenly free.”
– Executive producer Maurissa Tancharoen revealed that Ming Na's character was originally named “Agent Rice.” But, that didn't seem quite right after Na got the role.
– Tech wizzes Fitzsimmons was based on Casey Affleck and Scott Caan's characters in “Ocean's Eleven,” but Elizabeth Henstridge came in and stole the role.
– When the topic of upcoming romantic hookups came up, Chloe Bennet says she and Elizabeth Henstridge ship “Skimmons” (a Skye and Simmons hookup).
– Ming Na suggested that that Skye should be the lovechild of her character and Thor and wants the show to have flashbacks to those love scenes.
– Brett Dalton gets cheeky when asked if he's seeing his character becoming closer to the team. “The character has changed. He wasn't a team player at the start. He's learned to play with the team,” he said with a nod to his character's sexual exploits.
– A lucky fan got a big hug from Gregg and moderator Felicia Day joked, “You're pregnant now.”
– One fan busted Bennet on her previous career as a Chinese pop star. True story, she confirmed. Robin Sparkles all over again.
– When asked if mutants will ever join the show, Loeb answered, “There's no proof of mutants in the Marvel Universe yet.”
Apparently Chloe Bennet kinda "spoiled" the secret as to what the blue guy alien thingy was
! It was Kree she said apparently, in a video, i saw posted screen rant
Okay so all we need left is Alexis Denisof, David Borenaz, and Charisma Carpenter left to guest star and we have ourselves the Angel reunion we always wanted.
Even though Alexis Denisof already has a role in the Marvel Universe.

! Well, Ronan the Accuser is the enemy in Guardians of the Galaxy, so the Kree are slowly becoming a bigger presence. Woot! The question is, will Ronan's existence reflect/come to be known on Earth?

LOOOOOOOOOOL

I for one welcome our Angel Investigations overlords.
Although the Angel reunion I always wanted already happened in Much Ado About Nothing. :happy:

I enjoyed this and the change at least gives the show a chance to shake up the cast next season.
Also saw this article on how the executive producers left "clues" throughout the series and how they planned the twists.

Shield is getting pretty good imo. (
! btw about time Ward and Skye kissed
Now that's what i call an exciting episode….
