Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 Premiere Will Address Key Season 1 Questions

When season 1 ofAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. came to a close earlier this year, it left many unanswered questions. We even listed 13 of them.Despite our mixed feelings towards the season as a whole, we did explain whyMarvels first, connected live-action TV show deserved a second season. There are characters weve grown fond of, the series did become more Marvel towards the end, as the producers promised, and theres been an exciting stream of news and casting announcements regardingthe second season ever since.

Were only three weeks away from theAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 2 premiere, an episode thatll introduce a notable character from the comics codenamed Absorbing Man (Brian Patrick Wade) and a few episodes later, starAdrianne Palicki will appear asMockingbird,a key character in Marvel Comics who has some history with The Avengers. Other cast additions and guest appearances include Lucy Lawless asAgent Isabelle Hartley,Kyle MacLachlanas Skyes dad,Reed Diamond (Dollhouse) as Hydra agent Daniel Whitehall,Nick Blood (The Bletchley Circle) as Lance Hunter,Simon Kassianides(Quantum of Solace) in an unspecified major role as the character Bakshi,Henry Simmons(NYPD Blue) asAlphonso Mack Mackenzie.

The shows executive producer Jeff Bell spoke with TV Lineabout the upcoming second season and promises that theyll bedelivering on the story front, starting off with a bang in the September 23rd premiere.

Once we could say the word HYDRA, its been a sprint, and were planning to just keep sprinting.

As for what questions the premiere will answer, or at the very least, partially address Bell mentions the following plot threads:

All of these questions we raised ourselves in our own listso well see if these are definitively answered or left hanging. Below is a new image of Agent Skye (Chloe Bennet), rocking a large firearm.

Where the first season struggled to introduce non-powered characters who werent from the comics and fit them into the larger sharedMarvel Cinematic Universe in a meaningful way, by the timeCaptain America: The Winter Soldier hit theaters, the show drastically changed for the better. The equally challenging Season 2 aims to maintain that high and mustprove itself after forcefully keeping viewers in the dark about Coulsons condition, its implications, and Skyesmysterious origins. After all, shes a 0-8-4 which SHIELD classifies as an object of unknown origin. If that doesnt have some major Marvel Comics related payoff in the films, then whats the point?
