Marvels Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 10 Recap: The Bridge To Nowhere (Mid Season Finale)

"The Bridge" is the last "SHIELD" episode of the year. It was OK but not one of my absolute favorites. Below is the overview from Wikipedia. The bullet points are my comments.

Who do you think "The Clairvoyant" is?
Is May Skye's mother? That would lead to all sorts of interesting story lines. If so, who's the daddy?
I too want to know what exactly happened the Coulson.
It's good to see Mike Peterson back (J. August Richards who played Gunn on "Angel"). But wait, he's dead. Never mind. I think he'll be back though.
To be honest, I found episode pretty boring. I either like character development or really cool fight scenes. There was way too much filler. I expected more from a mid season finale.

Phil Coulson recruits Mike Peterson to his team for super-soldier support when soldiers working for Project Centipede spring Edison Po (Cullen Douglas) from prison following their perfection of the Centipede serum. Coulson's team traces one of the Centipede-powered soldiers named Brian Hayward to an abandoned factory, walking into an ambush involving the Centipede-powered soldiers. Afterwards, Edison states to Raina that Peterson is her key to Stage 3 of their plan. Coulson's team discover that the Centipede-powered soldiers were subjected to the same eye situation that Akela Amadour went through. Edison tells Raina that he told the Clairvoyant about her and that the last person who tried to find out who the Clairvoyant got a knife to him. At the same time, when Skye tries to dig deeper into the mystery of her parents, Coulson and May are shown to be hiding information from her. When Peterson calls Ace, he ends up learning that Raina is with him as she asks Peterson if he remembers when she told him how she can change his life. Coulson learns from Peterson that Project Centipede that they want Peterson in exchange for Ace's safety with no involvement whatsoever. When it comes to the exchange, Coulson escorts Peterson to the trade-off where the twist in the trade involves Coulson being handed over instead. Coulson lets Peterson give him to Raina and surrenders to Project Centipede. Peterson decides to correct his mistake as he tries to go after Raina only for an explosion to prevent the rest of Coulson's team to follow them. In the final scene on Raina's helicopter, Coulson states that he won't give them what they want. Raina states that he only needs to give Project Centipede the info regarding how he came back to life the day after he died.

Grade: 3 1/3 Monsters (out of 5). An OK episode but not my most favorite. Let's hope the show picks up in January.
