They investigate Project Centipede and their leader, 'The Clairvoyant', eventually uncovering that Project Centipede is backed by Hydra, who has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. Welcome back, S.H.I.E.L.D.-ites! Starting this week, its a one way ticket to the season finale as ABC/Marvel has promised no more breaks between weeks until the end of the first season. In tonight’s episode, “End of the Beginning”, Bill Paxton, as Agent Garrett, returns on a mission to discover the identity of the Clairvoyant, but with the big bad in his sights, can the newly established Deathlok be far behind? Will Agent May’s apparent heel turn be further explored? What about the naked blue man in the tube? Hit the jump for my full recap. Our episode begins with Agent Garrett and Trip unloading their bags in an empty hotel room, only to have Deathlok, J. August Richards, burst through the door, guns a-blazin’. Before I go into further detail, let’s talk about the look of Deathlok. Whenever there’s a translation of a comic book character to either the big or small screen, a decision has to be made as to whether or not they’re going to stick closely to the comic design or go in an entirely new direction. In the light of day, that suit Richards wears as Deathlok looks less than appealing thanks in part to the color scheme and the bulkiness of the whole thing. To be fair, the red and yellow get-up Deathlok sports in the comics isn’t exactly winning any awards for best costume, so this is an instance where I wish they hadn’t gone with any big bulky body armor for the character. When he’s in the dark and the light from his cybernetic enhancements is piercing through the shadows, it looks pretty good, but in the light of day? Anyway, Garrett and Trip manage to get the drop on Deathlok, causing him to make a quick retreat. Garrett goes to the heavy hitters of SHIELD, one rung below Nick Fury including Victoria Hand, Agent Sitwell, and Agent Blake, and its decided that an all out investigation is the best way to go about finally nailing the Clairvoyant to the wall. The big heads of SHIELD play well off one another, especially Coulson and Garrett, who share war stories with one another like the oldest of friends. I could watch an entire episode with Gregg and Paxton chewing the fat, but we’d hardly get any action from that now would we? This leads into a complaint I have in that the ancillary characters are putting forth such great performances, that it makes the performances of some of our main characters, such as Skye, Ward, Fitz, and Simmons, pale in comparison. We know as much about these characters on a personal level as we do the guest stars, and that’s not really the best place for a show to be. The team gets a bead on Deathlok after Agent Blake puts a tracking slug in him, subsequently getting his ribs crushed in the process, and has a quick encounter with the cyborg as he flees the scene. Chasing him to the basement, the agents come across Thomas Nash (played by the great Brad Dourif of Deadwood, Lord of the Rings, and Chucky fame.) who reveals himself to be none other than the Clairvoyant himself. Words are exchanged, and right as you start to think that we’re going to have a Silence of the Lambs scenario on our hands, he’s instantly lit up by Agent Ward! Ward is placed into captivity after killing the Clairvoyant, and Coulson begins to question whether Mr.
