One of the worst episodes ever and I've seen all seasons...just skip to the last 5 min and watch the preview for the next one. Or rewatch episode 6 - seriously it wasn't funny, to me anyways, and it tried WAY too hard to be.
It felt a lot like a mishmash of 80's movies. All of the 80's cliches rolled into one episode. Coulson in a Max Headroom style setup was something I did not know I needed to see. Evil robots straight out of Chopping Mall. Not a bad homage to a more innocent time.
This was the most fun and pure joy I had watching Agents of shield with few sad moments of course because it's an AoS episode. Deke and Mack are a surprisingly fun duo, I just loved the way they worked together and how the episode helped progress both characters.
Oh and shoutout to the cheesy robot kills, my favorite part!
Up until this episode, Deke was no where near my top 20 list of favorite characters. But his character has redeemed himself (some) after having a whining third wheel feel through the previous season.
As far as the 80s references go, if you don't laugh at least once then you are either too young to remember the 80s or have never watched an 80s movie in your life.
Yes a lot 80s movies are cheesy by today's standards, but you gotta love how they hit every 80s genre possible in this episode. This was truly fun to watch.

One of the weakest episode of this show and definitely the worst of the season. There was no coherence in the episode things just happened and I get that they're doing a "80's episode" and of course the comedy bits they gonna do is outdated but I still mehed and might even cringed at some cliche haha momets.
At least the gore scenes and the excessive blood shower scenes was kinda funny and cool.
This episode felt like it was written by some amateurs because it's nothing like the brilliant writing of previous seasons especially season 4.
But hey, at least with the last scene we know the kidnapping plot line from prev episode wasn't pointless and du,mb.
Al in all I'm disappointed with this episode they kinda sacrificed substance and good material over style. Hope next episodes are good and the finale don't disappoint.
