Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Orientation [5x01 + 5x02] ✦ Watchalong Reaction & Review
🕑 Added 2025-10-17 17:30:03 +0000 UTCIt's been exactly five months since I shared my reaction to the Season 4 finale. A solid amount of time to miss these characters, and I love that we get thrown into a pit of confusion with them to kick off Season 5!
Since this was a two-parter, I've put them in the same video since I had a feeling I'd do a giant talk session at the end (which I did), but we'll continue with one video per episode through the season per usual.
I'm looking forward to your comments! Please no spoilers! I can't wait to see what's in store this season. [Direct link here.]

Jeff Ward is good so far! Definitely gives main character vibes already. Excited to see more.

I think most of what I might have wanted to say has been covered already by others. One fun fact that hasn't been mentioned yet - Jeff Ward (Deke) was originally cast as Virgil, but the showrunners then thought he was too good to kill off in the first few minutes, so gave him this role instead (they might have even created the role of Deke for him - I seem to recall hearing that, but I'm not sure and don't really remember the specifics).

Yeah, they do that very well.

I forgot to mention I love that hope was mentioned and is the reason Mack is better at Spanish because of the framework. The show never forgets those details .
