How was Tahiti? It sucked
jhudson-1170431 July 2017
This episode featured a hero from a couple of Marvel's movies: Sif. Sif in the Thor films, is an awesome character. She is a female warrior who proves to be as good as the prince of Asgard, Thor. So, having her in this episode was pretty exciting. She herself was great, however, the evil she was following to Earth, Lorelei, in my opinion, was kind of lame.

First let's start with Sif. In the Thor movies Sif and Thor make such a better pairing than Jane and Thor. She is a seasoned warrior with such a great attitude that goes with it. Jaimie Alexander is incredible in this role as she brings beauty as well as ferocity so it was pretty fun having someone from the movies come over. Sure, it wasn't the star, but still pretty cool.

Lorelei, however, was not as impressive. Sure, she had a curious power of mind controlling men, including Ward and Fitz. But she wasn't that much of a threat with a sword as Sif said. It was like watching a toddler with dementia swing a badminton racket at a wasp.

It was both shocking and confusing to see Skye doing so well after being injected with GH-325, especially since I highly doubt Coulson took that long to recover. It was cool to see her back in normal form but its still a mystery. Coulson telling her about the origin in the drug was good plus we get to see that May is reporting on them behind there back but to whom?

+ Sif's arrival + Skye's recovery + Who is May talking to? - Lorelei was disappointing

Final Score: 8.2/10

When AoS meets Asgard
liamoohay243657 December 2022
Finally, when a major movie tie-in comes into play it got me excited! So far this series only mentioned Marvel superheroes in the previous episodes. But this episode we actually get to meet a familiar face. As much it is beneficial for the show to be a stand alone series, to have a guest appearance from an Asgardian boosts the entertainment value.

Lorelei aka the villain has interesting powers to control men. I gradually got to like her. The actress who plays her was good and it was funny how it ended so easily at the end but thoroughly enjoyable episode. I must say it is one of the stronger AoS episodes!

Rewatch Thoughts

One of my least favorite episodes of the show, it's a filler, I believe the last one we have in the show, like ever? so bye fillers, won't miss you! It's nice to see Sif back in the MCU, and Lorelei is an interesting villain (with unfortunate implications to her powers), their dialogue was rather corny, the fights were good though. Overall, meh episode, the ending was intersting , now we get to the really good stuff!

A Comedy Of Errors Part Deux
raster_gfx4 June 2014
Warning: Spoilers
There were many errors of continuity within this episode... the most glaring when a blood pour out of the nose of a main. It was glaring to me... maybe nobody else. Otherwise... the little here and there things eh.. can be overlooked...

If A fan of Marvel's hero's.... it stil works (as well as goes onto the movies).

Should have made Stan Lee a regular with his 2 women on his arms...

Maybe he could be the ... "C" :)

I don't know who the "C" is yet... ... not an actual "C" person by name...

Have to watch to know.... :)

Awesome show that attempts to link all of the Marvel movies yet still gives it's own flavor.

A Comedy of Errors that Isn't Particularly Funny
elpida-426 March 2014
The title of this episode must be referring to the people who approved the script. Yes Men is chock full of inconsistencies and sloppy writing thrown in for dramatic effect or to push the plot along in a clunky fashion. It is essentially a standalone, filler episode that doesn't actually add anything to the plot, save for a slight bit at the end that doesn't really fit with prior characterization. It's such a mess and so unnecessary to the overall series plot line that viewers simply ought to skip it entirely.

Lorelei's powers only work on men, so let's send in a team of ... men. That seems strategically sound. Knowing she can seduce him, Ward stands around, gun at ready, and ... never fires with his new, exciting gun that was introduced for no apparent reason. Rather than an Asgardian referring to the realm as Midgard, it's always "Earth" or "your world", which is fairly inconsistent. And why exactly are we supposed to feel threatened by a woman gathering a bunch of bikers? You would think SHIELD could handle a handful of guys on Harleys.

The characterization of both Coulson and May is also off at moments, which further detracts from the episode's coherency. Perhaps that was an attempt at character development, but if so, it was far too abrupt to feel realistic. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has had it's ups and downs in this first season, but this might just be one of its lowest points. Hopefully the season can end strong, or at least stronger than this.
