Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Inside Man
Season 3, Episode 12 Recap

9/05/2016

In memory of Dan Schmidt, the founder of Across the Airwaves, who sadly passed away this summer. The tribute episode for him can be found here.

For the second half of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s third season, blogging fell by the wayside, completely replaced by tweeting and sharing those tweets with Across the Airwaves podcast, but I'm not sure I ever did that for this episode. I had to go all the way back to March 16th to get these tweets. But it looks like I didn't have as much as usual to say. I'm sure I was just too busy being captivated by the episode rather than the unlikely possibility that it was the least interesting episode of the second half of the season. Since I adore this series, I should probably find some time to watch it again.

If I did share these with ATA and find it somewhere in my notes or drafts, I'll post anything I'm missing here. It might seem easy to just listen to the podcast episode for "The Inside Man" again to be sure, but I've been too timid to do so since the second or third time I listened to Nicki reading my tweets. Even when I have on headphones and no one else around me can hear, I'll freak out a bit and skip past. Maybe that's silly, but it is what it is.

If you enjoy any of this series, please go listen to the excellent podcast they were featured in, Across the Airwaves. I don't want you listening for my words, but rather for the passionate people there who know their stuff and have more insight than I do into the wonderful world of Marvel.

My goodness, Hive Ward is so creepy. @IMBrettDalton is doing another fantastic job. #AgentsofSHIELD

Daisy and Lincoln, "good old Shake n Bake." LOL, Hunter, I never would have come up with that. #AgentsofSHIELD

Talbot, I didn't need to know it was all "loosey-goosey under there." 😝 #AgentsofSHIELD

Ah, the old "I'm rubber, you're lightning trick." #AgentsofSHIELD

"You can't take the bad out of a bad man"...cut to Ward. #AgentsofSHIELD

"You must all be sacrificed to the greater good." Hmm, darlin', I think you meant to say "greater bad." #AgentsofSHIELD

Hey, guys, did you close the door? You want Simmons to walk in again? #AgentsofSHIELD

Well...a few people look a bit worse for wear, but at least Hive Ward looks better. Now, where's my vomit emoji? #AgentsofSHIELD

@clarkgregg Hey, Coulson, could you, just for a little while, not make me think you might be about to die? OK? Thanks! #AgentsofSHIELD

Bonus Tweet from Nicki!

Brett's performance as Hive is AMAZING!! #AgentsofSHIELD

I completely agree with her. Brett Dalton has only gotten better as his character arc has gotten stranger. His journey has been gut-wrenching, surprising, and so interesting.
