’Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 4.02 “Meet The New Boss” Review: Jason O’Mara’s S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Debuts

#5 – May Vs The Ghosts

While we don’t see May per say fighting the ghosts (at least not yet), it’s their effect on her that she ends up having to fight. Throughout the course of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., we haven’t seen much be able to break May down as she is butt-kicking fighter. But tonight the supernatural managed to and seeing Ming-Na Wen’s strong performance of a Melinda that we aren’t used to see, was powerful. She has been one of my favorite characters since the pilot all the way back in 2013. The scene where she is fighting her fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agents was as usual great action, but it was painful to watch it because you saw how much she was in pain. While it’s without doubt a dark arc for May, it’s still appreciated because it gives Wen something new to do with her character. Whatever happens, I hope to see May overcome this, which may take a while.
