First, we have seen this story before: a heartbreaker of a woman (often red-headed), graces the screen with a raw sensuality that leaves men drooling in her wake, appealing not only to their sexual natures but their protective ones, thus making them into a fighting force to be reckoned with. However, have you ever seen a villainess who has this effect on both men and women, thus making her weakness much less easy to find (and making these episodes less of the typical &#8216;women power&#8217; solution.)? If so, please tell me in the comments, I would love to see it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Agents of SHIELD - S1x15 - Yes Men - Lady Sif\" href=\"http:\/\/abc.go.com\/shows\/marvels-agents-of-shield\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9736\" alt=\"Agents of SHIELD - S1x15 - Yes Men - Lady Sif\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x15-Yes-Men-Lady-Sif.png\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x15-Yes-Men-Lady-Sif.png 640w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x15-Yes-Men-Lady-Sif-256x142.png 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x15-Yes-Men-Lady-Sif-320x177.png 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x15-Yes-Men-Lady-Sif-400x221.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Second, and speaking of comedy, the writers missed a golden opportunity for comedy by making Grant Ward (<a title=\"Click here to follow Brett Dalton on Twitter!\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IMBrettDalton\" target=\"_blank\">Brett Dalton<\/a>) the real danger and not Leopold Fitz (<a title=\"Click here to follow Iain de Caestecker on Twitter!\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IdeCaestecker\" target=\"_blank\">Iain de Caestecker<\/a>). Phil Coulson would have been the traditional &#8216;leader in charge&#8217; role, though seeing his protective natures and his flirtatious side all bumped up would have been even funnier. Coulson is still the adored one of the series, and there would have been a lot of laughs and possibly a few memes generated had he fallen under Lorelei&#8217;s spell. But <em>Fitz<\/em>? He would have been a <em>riot<\/em>. The few moments we had with <em>him<\/em> under Lorelei&#8217;s spell proved this. He was comical, a little over the top, silly in a way many of us might associate with Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), and ultimately he could have been a major threat. Ward is all muscle, and therefore Lorelei&#8217;s first choice for man candy because he can protect her. But never underestimate the power of a nerd, a geek, engineering, or mathematics.

This has been an exceptionally tragic storyline, and watching the growth of Mike Peterson has been a quiet subplot through the entire first season. Manipulated by the Clairvoyant and built by tech genius Ian Quinn, Mike&#8217;s personality is being pushed away and suppressed while he works as a bodyguard. On top of all of that, he manages to escape, not only deceiving the agents on his trail, but making it back to his hideout and getting a package from the Clairvoyant. After outfitting himself with the contents, Deathlok spots a note informing him it is time to meet the Clairvoyant. Raina would be quivering with anticipation, but Deathlok shows no emotion.

It is clear she cares for Coulson beyond her assignment, though he certainly does not return the warm fuzzy feelings (who would?) and Melinda May the Cavalry, now has to deal with Melinda May the woman, thrown in the cell beside the possible traitor Ward.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abc.go.com\/shows\/marvels-agents-of-shield\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9748\" alt=\"Agents of SHIELD - S1x17 - Turn Turn Turn - Ward Upset\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x17-Turn-Turn-Turn-Ward-Upset.png\" width=\"640\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x17-Turn-Turn-Turn-Ward-Upset.png 640w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x17-Turn-Turn-Turn-Ward-Upset-256x134.png 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x17-Turn-Turn-Turn-Ward-Upset-320x167.png 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x17-Turn-Turn-Turn-Ward-Upset-400x209.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Agents of SHIELD - S1x17 - Turn Turn Turn - Ward Upset\" href=\"http:\/\/abc.go.com\/shows\/marvels-agents-of-shield\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9749\" alt=\"Agents of SHIELD - S1x17 - Turn Turn Turn - Ward Upset\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x17-Turn-Turn-Turn-Ward-Upset1.png\" width=\"640\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x17-Turn-Turn-Turn-Ward-Upset1.png 640w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x17-Turn-Turn-Turn-Ward-Upset1-256x134.png 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x17-Turn-Turn-Turn-Ward-Upset1-320x167.png 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/shield\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Agents-of-SHIELD-S1x17-Turn-Turn-Turn-Ward-Upset1-400x209.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Ward has fallen victim to his own emotions as well.

Is Coulson truly a HYDRA sleeper agent, manipulated by doctors under the guise of being brought back to life? Nick Fury is not around to answer those questions (seems like only Captain America knows he is alive). What has Garrett let slip to HYDRA and his followers regarding GH-325 and Skye (who, as a S.H.I.E.L.D agent, now has files and records he can access?)? Who is the traitor &#8211; Ward, Skye, someone else&#8230;and I have even heard Jemma Simmons as a suspect! Is the Clairvoyant still out there and if so, who are they?\u00a0 While we know the depth of HYDRA&#8217;S infiltration, how can the team go around combating it, and who can they trust? With this enormous retooling of the series and shattering of the world, the writers (and indeed Marvel itself), has created a whole new reality that has a number of season-making storylines.
