SHIELD: Case Files

Life is hard on the run when you're "A Wanted (Inuhu)Man". Lincoln is discovering that it's going to take more than electricity to escape the merciless predators of the ATCU. He may just need SHIELD's help. Coulson will help him, but not at the expense of losing Daisy. So desperate times call for desperate measures. Simmons struggles to acclimate herself now that she's not on an alien planet anymo...

If you're trying to find a "Purpose in the Machine", it would help if you had some instructions. When Coulson and Fitz find the final clues they need to get Simmons back, they enlist the help of the Asgardian Professor Elliot Randolph, who is an expert in the area of mystical portals, history of monoliths, and quirky banter. Meanwhile, Hunter tries to convince Agent May that her vacation is over....

You just can't break the "Laws of Nature". Unless, of course, you've been exposed to some Terrigen that is now activating your dormant alien blood and given you new powers that you just can't control right now. Ok, I guess sometimes you can. But if you do, SHIELD will try to track you down and bring you in for safety. Just watch out for the newly founded ATCU. They might not be as accommodating. A...

Tick Tock…The countdown timer is ticking! But don't worry. It's not a HYDRA bomb. It's just the countdown to the end of the Agents of SHIELD summer hiatus. Case Files is going "Back to SHIELD" shopping as we review and discuss the release of Season 2 on Blu Ray and DVD. Is it up to the high standards of Director Coulson? Or is it more stone-cold than Director Gonzales with a Terrigen tiara? Plus,...

After an extended undercover mission, the Directors are back with your summer SHIELD news. In this Summer Spectacular we look at new comics to celebrate the 50th anniversary of SHIELD, upcoming releases of Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter, and speculate about a plethora of teases from Season 3. So oil your prosthetic arm and cinch up that new, skin-tight uniform, because Jay and Josh are ready to...

It's summer! So grab your orange life preserver and run down the beach in slow motion! Agents of SHIELD: Case Files looks back at some old cases as we discuss the 1998 made for TV movie "Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD", starring David Hasselhoff. This, dare I say, "classic" take on the comic book heroes of SHIELD may not have generated any spinoffs or sequels, but it di give us a chance to see the cha...

When the Inhumans attack your Helicarrier, you better send out an "SOS". Skye may have chosen the side of her mother, but she quickly learns that was a mistake. So she and Mack work to save SHIELD. Meanwhile, Coulson tries to convince Cal that he should help them save his daughter, after he's finished trashing the place in a monstrous rage, of course. And Hunter and May try to stop Ward before he...

Even "Scars" tell stories. Now that we know Coulson's secret Theta Protocol was all about a helicarrier, we can build a better SHIELD with Gonzales and Coulson working together. Their first assignment is trying to develop a friendly relationship (aka, putting them on the index to keep an eye on them) with the Inhumans. So Coulson sends Gonzales to negotiate things. Raina is busy trying to manipula...

If you need a SHIELD team that you believe is expendable, you might send "The Dirty Half Dozen". That's what Gonzales did. Coulson takes his original crew on a mission to save Deathlok and Skye's friend Lincoln from Dr. List and HYDRA. They even include their ex-friend Grant Ward (even with the Hulk-sized grudge they still hold against him) While they are saving the day, Coulson carries out his ow...

They say that the "Frenemy of my Enemy" is my…uh…well, my Grant Ward, I guess. Coulson tracks down Ward to help him find HYDRA's leader Baron Strucker. Fitz isn't very happy about that, but they are getting pretty close. Until Ward, seemingly betrays them and places Deathlok right in their hands. Sky travels to Wisconsin with her father, only to reveal her whereabouts to May. Everyone tries to get...

Have no fear! The Cavalry is here! That's what they call Agent "Melinda" May. And this week, we find out why. It all had to do with a mission to Bahrain, where she and Coulson took a group of agents in to collect a Russian woman with some very inhuman powers. It took a serious turn for the worse and it's connected to Jiaying and the Afterlife. And Skye is going to find out all about it. Jay and Jo...

Where do you go in the "Afterlife"? Skye went to a mountain retreat with the same name, to be "transitioned" by a mysterious guy named Lincoln. He claims that he can help her better understand her powers. But she doesn't realize that her mother is still alive, and there to supervise. Coulson and Hunter are on the run from Gonzales' agents. And they're getting a little mechanical help from an old f...

Make sure you're on the right side when "One Door Closes". The day SHIELD fell Bobbi and Mack were on a helicarrier with Agent Gonzales. They saved him and, despite Fury's orders, saved the vehicle too. So now Gonzales is rebuilding the "Real" SHIELD to help save the world...wait, isn't that what Coulson is doing? Not anymore, because Team Gonzales has taken over the base. Fitz and Simmons aren't...

It can be challenging dealing with "Love in the Time of HYDRA". Agent Ward is getting emotionally closer to Agent 33 as he helps her fix the mask that has scarred her face and get revenge on the one responsible for her deformation to begin with. Hunter learns the truth about Mack's real employer, the "Real" SHIELD. And Coulson makes a big decision and send Skye away to a SHIELD safehouse until she...

Agents of SHIELD: Case Files invites you to be "One of Us". Or you could join Dr. Zabo's band of misfits that he's gathering to destroy Coulson in revenge for killing Whitehall and 'stealing' his daughter. Still not satisfied with those choices? You could be a part of Coulson's SHIELD, if you're willing to undergo evaluation and possibly be indexed, like our shaky friend Skye. Still not ready to c...

Lady Sif has returned and she's going to expose "Who You Really Are"! (If she gets her memory back) A Kree alien beat it out of her while he was on Earth looking for the lost Terrigen crystals. (Those are the ones that gave Skye her "inhuman" powers, if you're keeping score) And Skye wants to keep those powers hidden from SHIELD, because it seems as if they're not very keen to deal with them. I gu...

Hold on, because we are about to feel some "Aftershocks"! The mysterious obelisk may have been destroyed, but Skye is being held in quarantine until she can be determined to be safe. But how safe is she? Nobody may be safe if Raina's new pokey persona gets to them. Plus, everyone on the team seems to be a little uptight as they continue to snap at each other. So, to ease the tension, they work up...

In the last episode of Agent Carter, are we witnessing our heroine's "Valediction"? (It means farewell. We looked it up!) Before she says goodbye, the SSR is going to be burning the midnight oil to track down those nasty Leviathan agents that attacked headquarters and gassed a theater full of moviegoers who killed each other. Luckily Howard Stark shows up to answer some burning questions, and offe...

When things stop going your way, it's easy to make a "Snafu". SSR may have done just that when they caught Peggy Carter. They're headed down the wrong road to uncover the facts. That's because Dr. Ivchenko has Chief Dooley under his hypnotic spell, and he's using him to get Howard Stark's inventions. Peggy has to get out of custody to stop him, but unfortunately, it may be the Chief who has to pay...

Be careful when you're running from the SSR, because it could be "A Sin to Err". Now that Sousa has figured out the woman he's after is Peggy, she will need to find the real bad girl, grab Captain America's blood, and escape her fellow agents. And she may need to find some way to stop the Russian doctor who's actually a Leviathan agent that is trying to hypnotize Chief Dooley into giving him infor...

As you're sneaking into a secret, Russian, Black Widow training facility, don't bang your head on "The Iron Ceiling". Of course our agents know this. And so do the Howling Commandos that are helping them. Agent Carter and Agent Thompson are trying to track down information about Howard and his tech that everyone seems to be interested in. But while she's away, Peggy's limber neighbor, and graduate...

When you're interested in getting your laundry "Stark" white and clean, put a little Howard in it. That's the power of the "Blitzkrieg Button". As Peggy hides her fugitive friend from SSR, he tells her that she needs to steal back one of his pieces of stolen tech before it goes off and permanently turns off all the power in New York for a very long time. But she discovers something even more surpr...

As Agent Carter gets closer to tracking down Howard Stark's stolen weapons, SSR gets closer to tracking down Agent Carter. And they may go through Jarvis to find her. But during his intense interrogation, Peggy steps in to save the day. However, even if she does find his missing tech, helping Howard is taking it's toll on her. (Maybe not as much as it is to Agent Krzeminski, though.) SSR Station C...

It's 1946 and S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't exist. But the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) does. And that's where Captain America's former girlfriend is utilizing her talents. (Mostly to try to clear the name of her friend Howard Stark.) The SSR thinks he's selling weapons to our enemies. So she starts to investigate the truth, and track down all of the powerful missing tech, with the help of Stark's pe...

The time is finally here to discover "What They Become". SHIELD and HYDRA both end up at the ancient temple. Skye is being held by HYDRA though, where her father (and part time psychopathic doctor) explains to her how her mother was brutally killed and how it is now time for Skye to fulfill her destiny. Coulson takes the team in to stop Whitehall before it's too late for whatever plans he has. But...
