Agents of SHIELD: Purpose in the Machine [3x02] ✦ Full-Length Watchalong Reaction

I truly love everyone in this show but Iain De Caestecker's acting impresses me more and more each season! I really felt the desperation and determination from Fitz in needing to get Jemma back!

Another great reaction. So many familiar names and faces. Let's start with the small stuff. Von strucker's son Werner makes a surprising appearance. His father was killed in Age of Ultron by Ultron himself. We talked about how last season Ward has become Garrett and we see a direct parallel with him telling Werner the same thing Garrett did after he left him in the woods for months. "I brought tacos". The Asgardian reappearance is also interesting because that episode 1x8 was a very Ward centric episode. Andrew returns to Shield full time after working for Coulson a bit last season behind May's back. He gets to psychoanalysis the team this episode which is always fun but now it seems Ward is using spies to watch him because of course he wants to get back at May. Ironically this is the reason may was so cautious about her father. Daisy is also growing as a character and her powers continue to be used creatively to solve a problem. Fitz jumping into a hole without knowing what would happen or if it would even remain open is Crazy but is one of his best character moments. Simmons of course is back! Last season she overcame her fear of alien things only to be thrown into an alien world and had to survive for months.

Great reaction, as always! I like what you said about AoS not dragging things out or making you wait. The writing is pretty good at just "doing the thing" and moving the plot along.

Def going to be interesting seeing Ward act as Garrett now. Appreciate everything else you've said!

Chris Elkins

Whats interesting about the team dynamic is seeing everyone dealing with taking on a semi different role right now and they all have their own paths but still come together when needed to pull off the greatest save in history. The growth of the young actors of this show is another thing that amazes me, I think Clark Gregg did help them by mentoring ect.

I can definitely see that too! It's fun watching them evolve.

Sean Ellingham

Fun to see Professor Randolph again - seems it would be useful to have him around more often, if only for consulting, but that doesn't seem like something he'd be interested in. Ward reminding us just how capable he is (as if we needed reminding!) by effortlessly getting through Werner's guards - and unfortunately, he seems to be building Hydra back up quite successfully. Interesting that his apparent right hand is the guy he smashed into a broken glass at the end of last season.

This is one of my favorites this season; I love how supportive the team is of Fitz and that they all come together in this episode to save Simmons. Very emotional and high stakes which is awesome to have in the second episode of a season lol. Like you said they do a great job at not dragging storylines out. Also something I just noticed on this rewatch for the first time is Ward saying he brought tacos when talking to Strucker which is what Garrett brought in those season 1 flashbacks. Technically it was a gun in the bag but still lol. I feel like even his delivery was very similar to how Bill Paxton said it so I thought that was interesting. It definitely feels like a parallel to Garrett or full circle moment in a way.
