Season 2 has been drastically different than season 1 of Agents of SHIELD. It not only moved back an hour, but also has added a gritty tone, added new cast members, and turned one of the fan favorite characters into a villain. All these changes have benefited the show greatly.
***** SPOILERS for "The Writing on the Wall" to follow *****
In this week's episode "The Writing on the Wall," Coulson and Skye hunt down a crazy killer connected to Coulson's past while the rest of the team tracks down Grant Ward.
Coulson's journey since he died in Avengers has been a wild ride but as Agents of SHIELD progresses, we are getting closer and closer to discovering the permanent effects the GH325 serum will have. In this episode, Coulson goes back into the memory machine to uncover who else might have been injected.
We find out that before the TAHITI Project was shut down, Coulson experimented with the alien DNA, which is over 1,000 years old, on 6 volunteers. When Coulson chases down one of the lone members of the program still alive, he gets into a situation that proves to be painful but worth the pain.
During the fight with the Sebastian Derrick, they both realize what the markings finally are. It's a city. Now the team will look for the mystery city and see what awaits them there.
As Coulson discovered the meaning behind the markings, Grant Ward delivered Dr. Whitehall's right hand man Bakshi to his former team. Now, a clean shaven Ward is on a mission to track down his brother.
"The Writing on the Wall" continued strong elements that season 2 of Agents of SHIELD has been demonstrating. This episode gave each character a direct purpose and did a great job balancing who got screen time. All the characters felt necessary to the story at hand and the continued bromance between Mack and Fitz is excellent.
Agents of SHIELD returns next week at 9 pm EST on ABC for episode 8 of season 2 "The Things We Bury." Watch the preview for next week's episode below as the team comes face to face with HYDRA.
