Holy cow, this was THE best episode of the series so far!! Well written, absolutely nail biting, I even cried, I mean it had everything! I really hope the show continues to improve like this, I am a huge fan, since day one, and after seeing this episode, I can't wait for what's to come!

I've followed AOS very closely, and I can say this is the best episode of the series. Very well executed. The end of previous episode left me enough to imagine and make theories and get really hyped. So I hoped this to be a good one. And it did, doing better than my expectations. But still not clear who's gonna be the super villain this season, which makes it more interesting and leaves me in suspense.
Sparse and great use of CGI, great action, insane drama and emotion, smart storytelling coupled with great uses of the past, the episode started great and it didn't falter or stumble anywhere in particular, this was great storytelling all around, it's everything that a show can be and maybe even more at some points, i'm constantly amazed at how much they can do with such a small budget, this is way better than other shows of the type that overuse CGI to the point where it looks horrible. If you're a fan you'll certainly enjoy this and if you aren't this episode might even change your mind.
I won't spoil it for those who have not seen it yet, but I just want to point it out that this was THE best episode of entire series. Truly amazing. The writing, direction, music, acting and suspense was top notch. Jed has been an amazing writer since the start but this episode showed that he is as good Director as well. Elizabeth and Ian have been the best actors on show since the very beginning but I was surprised by Chloe's acting in this episode. She has come a long way since season one and she has totally refined and improved her acting. Mingna was equally brilliant in her small scenes.
Going into the LMD arc, I feared it won't come close to the awesomeness of the previous Ghost Rider arc of Season 4 but to my surprise, I liked LMD arc more than the Ghost Rider one because of how personal the threat became for our Agents.
All in all, Amazing episode. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Good work AoS Team!

I won't spoil anything. I just want to let you know that this episode will blow you away. I didn't expect it to be this good. One of the best episode. I didn't like the LMD story line at first, but it just kept getting better and better. Especially this episode, it's better than you could imagine. It has drama, twist and action packed. It has everything I want to see. One of the best. Can't wait for the next episode.
