Season 2 - Episode 1, Shadows
We kick start the new season by travelling back to pre S.H.I.E.L.D 1945. In one of the biggest geek out moments of TV history, we got to see Peggy Carter AND the Howling Commandos take down a Hydra operation led by Reed Diamond's high ranking officer.
Back in the present and what is left of S.H.I.E.L.D are still in The Playground, still in hiding but still trying to save the day. They are joined by 4 mercenaries led by Isabelle Hartley (Lucy Lawless).
This episode sees the team go after an 084 but not just any 084, the first 084. It's dangerous but exactly what it does is still a mystery.
All the Ward fans rejoice, the traitor is being held in the basement of The Playground complete with bad guy beard. The exchange between him and Skye was razor-sharp, hopefully there will be many more of these to come.
Coulson still has the best comedic moments (and the best speeches) but this season opener is much more action packed than the premiere of the first season; the show has hit the ground running and I hope they don't run out of steam.
The biggest story has to be Fitz's and how he has coped since almost drowning at the end of season one. I won't give anything away but Ian De Caestecker was definitely the best actor of the episode.
