Sham-bit was such a chump, as were the Kree. Just big blades? How exactly were they going to deal with Hive besides beating him up?
Minor nitpick: Hive's shirt is missing the hole from the explosive round, yet there are no holes from the bullets.

Better use 'em on the near dead Kree dude!

I would've at least liked to see Hive get an arm chopped off before he fed on him.
Also, shooting a grenade at Hive was weak. Does John Carpenter's The Thing not exist in the MCU? You got to break out the flamethtrowers.
Somebody had to replace him.
Edit: Yes he lost to a keyboard.
But you got the point that it was a powerful keyboard, didn't you? You're GD right you did. Worf served the purposes of the story, and in the same way, so does Mack.
What I'm saying is that Mack isn't a character, he's a recurring plot device.
I dunno if a world without John Carpenter is a worthy tradeoff for super powers.

Based on this pic I'm convinced Mack and Lincoln do a not in sync fusion dance to create Worf.
This picture got me all sorts of confused for a moment.
Went out like the chump she was.

The latest episode should be a reminder of why this show should stay the fuck away from the bigger stories. The budget sucks, costume design suck, props suck, sets suck, action scenes suck, shootouts suck and pretty much the entire production is well beyond poorly equiped to deal with stuff that requires a certain amount of money and talent not to destroy the suspension of disbelief.
Those allmighty Krees were some legit Buffy-grade bullshit.
God.
At least this stinker came after several good to great episodes. Progress?

They kind of reminded me of Tobias in Arrested Development.
Shirtless Mack though. A+ Episode.

Their budget was spent on Body Melting effects.

Agents of SHIELD could work infinitely better by dealing with smaller threats instead of spearheading/overlapping with the films, which are MASSIVE in terms of scope and budget. I mean, this season hasn't been too awful compared to the utter idiocy of S1 and much of S2, but those Kree were a painful reminder of AoS bitting way more than it can chew.
I can't help but think that this show could work better as something like a more action-y Netflix production. Coulson leading a Strike Back-like crack team of underground SHIELD agents crushing small Hydra cells with relatively modest terror plans while uncovering some cool tech and background history. But no, it had to pave the way for Civil War and Inhumans, because apparently the MCU can't survive without that poorly shoehorned TV hype.
Nevermind the fact that just one episode ago Simmons incapacitated him with three gutshots.

I can't really hate. Dude is pretty much a lifelike action figure.
Clearly. Because that scene with the grenade launcher was lolstuff.

I'm hoping Most Wanted goes that route - smaller group (er, literally a duo) taking down small threats.
I do appreciate the grander storytelling with AoS though. I appreciate its attempt at really making a dent in the MCU. Just make it look better.
Had a cringe moment with the Secret Warriors busting in on Hive's/Malick's hideout and the wall Daisy busted open was looking really cheap, and it's supposed to look like concrete.

LOL I didn't even think about this.
And Mack gives May a pistol, knowing that Hive is OP.
Right after Simmons shot him and it did nothing

At this point I wonder if the production is having some real issues or budget constraints when it comes to weapons, because ANYTHING related to firearms and shootouts sucks ass.
The show has been awful at this since S1. Entire tactical teams solely armed with handguns (!) or needlessly holding fire against an attacking enemy (!!), incredibly poor handling and stunts (which makes me believe they don't have good coordinators), mediocre set pieces, lame chases... The A-Team had better action back in the 80's, I swear.
I don't understand how can you make an action TV show in this time and age and fuck it up so bad.
The show is doing poorly in the ratings so it's budget probably isn't great.

"That's what he said". <_< >_>
Chloe is a ridiculously good looking example of our species and it's such bullshit she had to change her last name just to get work in Hollywood.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
I hope we see these Kree in the films and they look exactly the same, costume budget and all.
You Madman!
They were subtly careful in making that specific look disposable though, haha. They were "older models" so to speak:
Hive: These Kree are not from their home world. They're Reapers. They exist only to hunt.
Daisy: And to find humans for your makers.
Hive: For thousands of years, they've remained in stasis, orbiting our solar system.

Yeah, today's Kree are much more fashionable.
Was Multi-Girl unable to further split herself? I remember when she was introduced in S2 she split into 4. Maybe they each developed a personality and resisted merging back or further splitting?

Finished episode 17.
I don't care for this show when it goes into a "24" game of "who's the mole?"
Onward to the last two!

Ward taking over Hive's pelvic region for sure

Was there any tie in to the movie at all, or did I just miss it?

Finally saw it. It was a solid episode.
The Kree really didn't look any worse than that one pirate in GotG. I swear his beard was painted, not dyed, but painted half-assed blue, lmao.
I just have issues with humanoid species in general, both inside the MCU (Asgardians, Kree, etc) and outside (Star Trek). It's like they're thinking, "Make them look like humans, but change the skin color unlike a human's, or change a feature like a wrinkly nose." lol

Next week.
Odd to hear this complaint from you. Don't you also watch Person of Interest? That show like Arrow has declined heavily in the action choreography. Atleast Shield has been consistent over these seasons and now it's better than either shows.
being better than Arrow is a low ass bar though post S2

At least the SHIELD guys actually hit their targets. The A-Team have a worse aim with firearms than Stormtroopers.
Next week apparently. Coulson needs to watch Civil War first before he can make some random one liner showing that #ItsAllConnected, and it hasn't opened in the US yet. Too busy fighting Hive to fly to another country to watch it early I guess.
I know there are other examples, but Star Wars definitely does aliens the best. I wish modern franchises would take a note, especially now that Disney owns both Marvel and Star Wars.
That would have been both sad and hilarious if Marvel killed off another black guy. XD
Well, the last Captain America movie actually made Agents of Shield worth watching, maybe Civil War will pull off a similar trick.
The Kree were awful but I don't see what's wrong with Australian Gambit.

Why did Ward even bother fighting him?
Why didn't he use his power thing right from the start?

Unlikely. There isn't going to be take much impact because Agents of SHIELD is basically Diet Inhumans now.
Get the Russo's in here to direct an episode of Shield that is a parody of Arrested Development.

Catharsis - as they said, he had a thousand year old grudge to settle.
Though with just how quickly both Kree went down, it leads me to wonder exactly why he was so scared to call them in the first place. They weren't even close to being a threat.
