BIGGER THREATS LOOM AHEAD AS THE TEAM TRIES TO STRIKE DOWN HYDRA, ON THE MIDSEASON PREMIERE OF "MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Bouncing Back"

"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." returns for a game-changing second half of Season Three, TUESDAY, MARCH 8 (9:00-10:00 p.m. EST) on the ABC Television Network.
In the midseason premiere, "Bouncing Back," in the aftermath of his trip to Maveth, Coulson is more determined than ever to get to Gideon Malick and put an end to Hydra once and for all. Meanwhile, Daisy and the team encounter more Inhumans who have powers like they've never seen before, but will they be friends or enemies of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
No longer able to keep powered people out of the public eye, Daisy and Mack press forward to find more Inhumans, building a team of secret warriors whose mission is to train and protect powered people. However, the growing presence of Inhumans proves to be a polarizing issue, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. team must face conflicting public opinions and defend their team from groups who have a more extreme ideology.
The divide between those who want to protect Inhumans and those who seek to destroy them is constantly widening, and Hydra, now strengthened by Grant Ward, looms once again. However, Ward is no longer the same villainous traitor that they once knew, and the team faces an all-new enemy, whose motivations, goals and strengths are unclear. Uncertain about who (or what) they are facing, the stakes for S.H.I.E.L.D. and their assembled group of Secret Warriors are higher than ever, bringing some members of the team closer together and driving others apart. Will S.H.I.E.L.D. be able to stop one of the most powerful Inhumans to walk the Earth?

Been so long I had to read your summary above to remember what was going on in the show!
Now I am ready to watch it!

Yea, I needed a refresher too.

Saw the ep and it was ok, but previews seemed meh, and I dont care for
zombie ward, and the whole excessive power people running around.

It starts to get comical when they over do it.

Gideon Malick doesnt make sense at all, and the whole lets get this powerful being
in another dimension or world to help us is just plain silly.
And I dont think he it is going to work for anyone, it will be in charge not malick.

I thought it was an ok episode. I don't like zombie ward either, but he is based off an actual character. I did like the speedster girl, and I loved the scenes with Fitz-Simmons.

nd I loved the scenes with Fitz-Simmons........yeah me too, just wonder if it goes anywhere.

I did like the speedster girl......... yes she was ok, but was a one shot for now. her power was ok.
but some other tend to be too much or outlandish.

I enjoyed the ep. Like you I think the speedster girl was fun. She provided a lot of "Flash" moments ... maybe they should consider a crossover ...  
And I agree, Malick doesn't know, what he brought back to Earth from Maveth. Once that "Ward" thing gathers enough strength, it'll take over ...

yes and that makes malick look stupid, and he is not supposed to be stupid.
Also he would be a alpha male, and now they have him being non alpha wanting to serve the thing from beyond lol.

I liked the ward character, and I guess he is gone for good, and it was stupid to make him real bad to begin with.
