Marvel's Agents of SHIELD continues to change the characters fans grew to love in season 1, whether we like it or not. In "Heavy Is the Head," more changes to the lives and personalities of Coulson, Fitz, and even Simmons were glimpsed and touched upon. Between the meaner and slightly crazier Coulson and the depressed and delusional Fitz, the Agents of SHIELD team continues to change.
Last week's premiere brought the likes of Isabelle Hartley, Lance Hunter, Idaho, and Mack to the team. Unfortunately, Hartley and Idaho had a very short tenure on the show. They both were announced dead from the hands, or should I say concrete body, of Carl Creel, the Absorbing Man. The main team now consists of Coulson, May, Skye, Triplett, Fitz, Mack, and Hunter.
"Heavy Is the Head" continued on the strong path as the premiere but also had some of the recurring problems of the series. So far this season we have been given more questions than answers. This episode did answer the fate of Isabelle Hartley did not do much of anything to address the biggest questions surrounding the series. While we did get some insight on Coulson's "episodes", the show needs to quickly give us a reward for these mysteries and not drag them out all season long.
On a positive note, Henry Simmons, who plays Mack, and Iain De Caestecker, Fitz, give the best performances of the episode. While many of us do not like the direction that sad Fitz is in and is heading, the dialogue all episode between him and Mack was fantastic. Much like last season's bromance between Fitz and Ward, it looks like a new bromance is forming and I love it.
Kyle MacLachlan also made his Agents of SHIELD debut as Skye's father. Raina brought him the 0-8-4, in which he showed her she can not be harmed by touching it. For answers on why she was not harmed, Raina must bring Skye to her dad so they both can be informed of their origins.
The promo for next week's episode "Making Friends and Influencing People" is exciting to say the least. As you can see below, next week's episode will feature the return of Donnie Gill and also a new (HYDRA?) version of Simmons!
