The opening moments feature a squad of Chronicom Hunters killing a few ’30s N.Y.P.D.
Needless to say, Coulson needs a temporary shutdown to get used to his new existence.
Along with Deke, the trio hit the Depression-era New York streets in period clothing.
These outfits will probably be one of the highlights of this season’s new premise.
This reminds him that, though S.H.I.E.L.D.
The comedian has returned to portray, naturally, the Koenig brothers' ancestor.
has always been a family business, it seems.
At the same time, Daisy and Deke run into the Chroni-cops and manage to capture one.
Staking out the dinner involves some fun for history nerds.
Eventually, the team realizes that FDR isn’t actually the intended target.
Seems there was a bit of confusion from the captive Chroni-cop.
He wasn’t really saying “FDR,” he was saying, “Freddie.”
The Chroni-cops are sneakier than they appear.
They’re not trying to kill S.H.I.E.L.D.
In the final moments of this premiere, the S.H.I.E.L.D.
agents realize that to get to save time and space from the Chronicoms, they need to save HYDRA.
It’s a lovely, twisty premise for the season to come.
