Limerick Review: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S2E17, Melinda
With Coulson a late escapee,
And Fitz on the lam with the key,
The show takes a breather
To focus on neither,
But three stories concurrently.
First, we find out what's so extreme
That it managed to curtail May's dream,
And what she went through
Is that she once had to
Kill a child to save her whole team.
Skye's story, by contrast, is calm,
And she takes to her life with aplomb,
And especially
When she learns guide's ID,
And gets to spend time with her mom.
And, fin'lly, May with the new crew,
Trying desperately to sort through
The myriad plans
That have passed through her hands
And find what Coulson's been up to.
The crosscutting sometimes gets clogged,
But the whole thing is hardly a slog,
And after that bout,
We get to find out
That Raina might be a precog.
