Lashing out
(This review contains
spoilers for this episode and for Captain America: Civil War!)
The penultimate episode of Season 3
has arrived, and with it comes a Civil War tie in. With the Sokovia Accords now
law, Talbot’s arrived at the Shield base and is trying to get the Inhumans
registered.
At the same time, everything seems to
be going off the rails, as Lincoln is supposedly trying to escape, Daisy is
giving up blood to help Hive, and a small team of Watchdogs have been turned
into weird, primitive human type things.
I gotta say, I’m not a fan of how
those primitive humans look. I like the idea behind them, but they look more
like a rubber mask you’d find at the party store than a real threat.
As much as I liked the big twist
involving Lincoln’s escape, it’s sad that his character’s gotten so predictable
that we would fully believe he’d try to escape from Shield to get to Daisy, and
for no other reason than that. When watching the episode, I was like “oh okay,
he’s doing this now” instead of wondering if it wasn’t what it seemed.
But the reveal that Lash had been sent
instead of Lincoln was one of the best. We got an amazing fight scene between him
and Hive, and he cured Daisy of her mind-control. That being said, it’s kind of
bittersweet to see him get killed off. He was a great villain, and he really
went out in style. Still, I can’t help but feel that there was a bit more with
him they could’ve done.
With the reveal that Hive is prepping
a warhead that will turn a significant part of the world into Inhumans, the
2-hour season 3 finale is set up to be action packed, with the promise that
someone is going to die. My money was on it being Mack coming into this
episode, but as it stands right now I feel like it’s a bit too obvious to be
him. We’ll just have to wait and see.
FINAL SCORE
8/10
Great
