Episode Rankings: Agents Of Shield

Agents Of SHIELD is a pretty fantastic show. Despite its now infamous slow start, this season boasts some of my favorite material in the whole MCU. Its cast is so likable that you can't help but grow attached, the production values and fight scenes are astonishing for a TV show like this, and the show boasts at least five of the greatest plot twists in any TV show to date. Here's my ranking of its episodes:

1. As I Have Always Been (S7.09) - Time loop episodes are always fantastic
2. Self Control (S4.15) - This episode has like 20 plot twists and all of them are fantastic
3. 4,722 Hours (S3.05)
4. Inescapable (S6.06)
5. Turn, Turn, Turn (S1.17) - One of the greatest twists in TV history
6. The Devil Complex (S5.14) - I don't think I've ever felt this anxious and out of breath after watching an episode before. Oh, and it has one of the greatest twists in TV history.
7. What We're Fighting For (S7.13) - I love how the last ten minutes are basically an exposition dump but the chemistry between the cast and the subtle dialogue turns into the best part of the episode rather than an in-your-face slog
8. SOS: Part 2 (S2.22)
9. The End (S5.22)
10. Farewell, Cruel World (S4.20)
11. What They Become (S2.10) - Another one of the greatest twists in TV history
