Turn, Turn, Turn review

If you haven't seen Turn, Turn, Turn as of yet there are spoilers here, just so you know…..

So I just finished watching the newest episode of AoS and I have to say I was very impressed.

It was played off very well in the last episode that Victoria Hand was more than likely a member of Hydra.  We learn in this episode, however, that that is not the case.  It's actually Hand who believes that Coulson is in league with Hydra.  That was a pretty interesting twist, I thought.

We also found out that May had been speaking directly to Fury since the teams inception, that she was actually behind the recruiting process for it, and that she knew about TAHITI the whole time.  In light of this new info, Coulson is not happy and made it clear that she is no longer a friend, but, seeing as she is not Hydra, they can still use her as an ally.  Including to try and get back ahold of Fury, who they are told is dead, which we know isn't true from the new Cap film.

When the team decides to ditch the bus, because they know it's going to be raided, they download all of its servers contents onto a hard drive and wipe them clean, so Hydra can't get their hands on it.  A short while later Skye gives the drive to Ward.  That's the moment I knew that he had to be Hydra, for he has all the data that was on the plane.  There were little hints throughout the episode indicating to me that he was Hydra, but it's sad that the news he actually is Hydra came out shortly after he and Skye have a moment and share a kiss, promising drinks in the future.  I'm sure that somewhere along the way he will go back to the team, but him being Hydra is still a huge deal, especially after shooting Hand, who I think is still alive.

Did I mention that Garrett is Hydra!! That was probably the only twist in the entire episode that made me jump out of my chair.  I did not see that coming…. He ended up getting caught, but Ward, being his little protege, killed Garretts guards to set him free.

Another thing I'm unclear on is what was happening with Simmons and Triplett.  I was totally convinced that at least one of them had to be Hydra. So far it has yet to be indicated, but who knows what will happen in the future.

Altogether, I thought the episode was awesome.  I'm looking forward to seeing what will be happening to the team now, with a busted Bus, no backup, and limited resources.  I think the show will help to indicate how extensive SHIELDs losses were after the events of Cap WS.  Hopefully they still have access to normally readily available resources.

I felt that the show did a pretty good job of connecting with the Cap film.  I just wish there would have been more literal connections other than a reference to fury or top brass agents being Hydra.

I'm also still hoping HAMMER will eventually make an appearance now that SHIELD is greatly diminished.

I didn't see any kind of easter eggs in this episode, but I may not have been looking hard enough.  I will just have to wait until it comes out on Hulu and iTunes, so I can watch it again in better detail.

I hope you enjoyed the episode as much as I did and I'm looking forward to some interesting conversation about it.  Until then have a good one, and cause a lil' C.H.A.O.S.
