geebsTV commentary:
Agents of SHIELD- Okay, that's kinda hilarious! So, tired of the Clairvoyant being one step ahead of them, the team concocts a plan with a select few SHIELD high-ups (basically, every named SHIELD agent they've had on the show previously who had more than 5 minutes of screen time- Hand, Sitwell, Blake, Garrett and Triplett) to suss him out.
They do all sorts of thing to be clever, but Blake and May still end up getting ambushed by Deathlok. Blake is severely wounded, but not before tagging him with a tracker. So, they think they've found the Clairvoyant, but he's like a quadriplegic in a wheelchair talking through a computer, which, he could totally be a puppet and someone else could be talking through the computer. But anyways, they capture him, he taunts them, makes a threat against Skye, so Ward kills him.
They think its all over, but Coulson is suspicious of what I just said, that it could all be theatrics and someone else could be in control. Eventually he and Skye figure out that the Clairvoyant isn't psychic, but a SHIELD insider who has access to their files and reports- the few times they've stumped him where things that weren't filed- like Coulson's resurrection, which was top secret.
So, amusingly enough, when Fitz tries to set up a secret line so he and Gemma can talk while she's at the hub, he figures out May has a secret line already. He warns the rest of the team, and they hold her at gunpoint. Coulson is freaking out because he thinks she's an agent of the Clairvoyant. Obviously, she's spying on him for someone else, or at least is unwittingly spying for the Clairvoyant, but in any case, since she's been doing something shady, and they think there's a mole, they think its her.
Unfortunately, they don't have too much time to argue, because Hand remotely takes over the plane and flies it somewhere, ordering some agents to kill everyone on board except Coulson when it lands.
Person of Interest- Holy frick, Sarah Shahi is friggin gorgeous with her hair down. Wait, did she always have her hair up in a pony on Fairly Legal or Alias? Whatever it was, she looked really pretty in the beginning. Anyways, Shaw and Reese get cocky, and the number ends up getting blowed up by vigilance. Apparently she's privy to everyone in the government's clearances, which Vigilance wants to use to suss the Machine out. Well, they still don't know its a machine, I think they think its a system of equipment and personel.
But yeah, Control's boss freaks, because he figures they're trying to find out who he and the others are that are involved with Northern Lights. She wants to send her goons to take care of the issue, but the Senator wants to go through official channels, which seems to be a mistake.
Indeed, while Shaw and Reese are taking care of this weeks number, Finch and Fusco look into the previous number and her work. The feds sent by the Senator beat them to it, so they cook up a plan to break into an evidence lockup and break into the safe in her office the feds took. Unfortunately, that was vigilance's plan all along- to get Finch and Fusco to do the heavy lifting. So, Collier has the file proving the existence of Northern Lights, and lets Finch know he realizes they're doing good, helping people, but this surveillance system is an abomination. Root rescue the 2 Fs, but Collier gets away, and leaks the info onto the internet.
So, the Senator tells Control to shut the project down, which seems like an even dumber move. Control is angry, but she's not exactly a bad guy, she's a company man. So, she closes shop. Which is unfortunate, because she was just about to go after Collier. So, since she was told to stop, she takes one last look at his file and shreds it. But, with no one to handle the relevants anymore, now they're being re-routed through route.
In the case of the week, Shaw and Reese are set to protect Richard Alpert from Lost. He's some big shot lawyer who's high school gf was killed after prom. Everyone thinks he did it, and even he thought at first he caused her to OD. Still, he ends up going to his HS reunion, for reasons we find out later. Heh, so Finch uses facial mumbo-jumbo to pick the two students who most closely match Reese and Shaw, and its hilarious. The guy Reese is pretending to be is some jerk womanizer, so he's getting slapped left and right by pissed off chyx. Meanwhile, Shaw's identity was some totally nerdy girl, so she's quite insulted. Amusingly enough, she's all gaga for the number. Which seems totally random, since she's not the type of girl to be crushing like that, but whatever.
Anyways, someone is taunting Batmanuel about the gf's death, and Shaw and Reese think he did kill his gf, and someone is out for revenge. Most likely her Duckie friend. But, it turns out it was the Duckie who killed the girl, and the number figured it out, and came to the reunion to get him to admit he killed his gf (she had come crying to the guy after she and the number had a fight, and friend-zone drugged her to try and get in her pants, but she od-ed) and then was going to kill him and make it look like a suicide over guilt for being the true killer.
But he doesn't get to fake the suicide, because first Reese and Shaw try talking him down (and indeed, he tells Shaw, he couldn't pull the trigger), but then they get attacked by vigilance. There was another faker at the reunion, which Reese learned from the stoner guy at the reunion, because he looked nothing like what he used to look like. (guess vigilance doesn't use best guess algorithms to figure out who best to imitate) Reese took him out, and the guy took a suicide pill before Reese could get anything out him. But yeah, vigilance thugs start shooting up the lab where the number was going to have his revenge (with the rest of the reunion totally clueless of the firefight because of the loud music). We find out they're going after Reese and Shaw because Root had leaked info on their mission in order to figure out how Vigilance was communicating. She was confident they would get out of the mess anyways. And they do!
