Much of what’s on the surface is based on Dr Who traditions, including the jargon, time concepts, camera work, use of tight spaces as sets, and snappy, sarcastic dialogue. This is the Dr Who episode you knew was coming. May stays in the Command Center to work the problem. Deke goes to help her while Daisy and Sousa take Mack to Jemma.

#MARVEL AGENTS OF SHIELD SEASON 1 EPISODE 9 FULL#
It’s hard to pull off either an episode full of tonal shifts or an episode full of repetitive scenes. It’s a fast-paced, tragicomic episode that must have been hella complex to put together, but it came out great, so kudos to Elizabeth, writer Drew Greenberg, editor Kelly Stuyvesant and rest of the cast and crew. The episode was directed by Elizabeth Henstridge, who also plays Jemma Simmons. Coulson and Daisy, who both start the episode unconscious, are the only ones who remember previous loops. Every loop brings them closer to the event horizon, but the loops turn around quickly, so they have to work together to find a solution. In episode 9, the team get stuck in a time loop inside a time storm heading toward a time vortex.
