And believe me, Daisy and Reyes have some battles this episode. Daisy spies this and sees her quarry in a whole new light. In the comics, the coolest aspect of Reyes is that he is so dedicated to caring for his special needs brother, who is finally introduced by the episode’s end. She also has gone total goth complete with dark raccoon like make up and tons of leather and chains.ĭid someone say chains? Let’s talk Ghost Rider, shall we? Yeah, it takes getting used to seeing Ghost Rider with a low rider instead of a motorcycle, but this is the Robbie Reyes version of the character not Johnny Blaze or Daniel Ketch, so Marvel is farming its recent comic book past. She’s addicted to pain killers (supplied by the returning Secret Warrior, Yo Yo), she is self-destructive and rushes headlong into battle, and she is avoiding her friends at SHIELD. She is doing the superhero thing as Quake with aplomb, but the Daisy Johnson part of her life isn’t going well. She is hunting Ghost Rider because of reports of multiple homicides. Not all our agents are happy though, which leads us to Daisy. We know it can’t last, but for the moment, it’s good to see something going right for these crazy kids. Keep in mind, we’ve opened seasons with Fitz suffering severe brain damage and Simmons trapped on a hostile alien world, so seeing the duo happy, in bed together, discussing football, it’s all kind of refreshing. It seems like the two star crossed lovers are in the healthiest place they’ve ever been. I think I am most pleasantly surprised by the Fitz and Simmons dynamic. It kind of feels like we are in virgin territory here with the plot not being taken up by HYDRA or Inhumans. Speaking of HYDRA, this had to be the first episode in Agents of SHIELD history where the word HYDRA wasn’t uttered once (unless I just forgot). Even though SHIELD is now back to becoming a fiercely powerful intelligence entity, the episode spells out that there are protocols in place so things can’t get all HYDRA again. May as a field leader, Fitz in pretty much the same place he’s always been, and a bunch of new faces. Some of those new dynamics consists of Simmons as a high level aid to the new director. Coulson and Agent Mack are hunting Daisy as well as trying to find Inhumans to register for the Sokovia accords so there’s a whole new dynamic within SHIELD. There’s a new director of SHIELD and Agent Coulson is relegated to field operative. Daisy is on the run and you can tell she’s troubled and tortured because she’s wearing really dark eye makeup. Daisy witnesses Ghost Rider do what he does best: unleash righteous vengeance on some Aryan skinhead punks.įrom there we get an act one reintroduction to our major players. I thought we were going to have to wait until sweeps. That’s right, they actually gave us Ghost Rider before the first commercial break. From there, things get a lot cooler and less misogynistic as Daisy in her Quake identity confronts Ghost Rider for the first time. Seriously Marvel, you’re better than that. But enough about me, what of our beloved agents? “The Ghost” kicks off with a shot of Daisy’s ass as she pulls on a pair of black panties.
