EP Jeff Bell Talks Marvel's AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.; Says The Show Is In "Pretty Good Shape"
With Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 finale airing tonight at 9 p.m. ET on ABC, executive producer Jeff Bell spoke on where S.H.I.E.L.D. stands, the challenges they've faced, and why he thinks Skye is "doomed either way." Check it out!
With Gonzales dead, Bobbi captured, and Skye caught up between Inhumans and S.H.I.E.L.D., Executive Producer Jeff Bell sat down with Comic Book, and told us everything we need to know before we go into the season finale. He first started by giving us a heads up on where everyone’s head are as we all prep to watch this finale. “What we tried to set up is Coulson coming in from the cold mostly brought the two element of S.H.I.E.L.D. together for the first time all season. Coulson made peace with Gonzales and his council, and bad things happened to Gonzales that they don’t know about. For all they know, Gonzales went Rogue and caused this whole thing to happen.”
After that, he then focused on Skype and revealed how she plays a big part in the series going forward. “I think the piece you mentioned that key for us is Skye. Here’s a young woman who’s torn between her surrogate family of Coulson and May, and her biological parents, Cal and Jiaying. In many ways, this season has been about that, her S.H.I.E.L.D. family versus her real family.” He then continued. “On one hand, you get the dream come true of I get to meet my mom and my dad, and then dad ends up being fairly mentally unstable. Mom, who at first offers everything she would want not only as a loving mother but also as someone who holds knowledge about the Inhumans, about the world that she comes from, about her powers and her gifts, I think that’s all very attractive to her.”
With Skye stuck between her Inhumans family and her S.H.I.E.L.D. family, she has to make a choice. Jeff Bell then reveals what position he think Skye is in, and the things he think will affect the decision. “Jiaying built this Inhumans community in the middle of nowhere to be left alone. She was cut apart by people who called themselves S.H.I.E.L.D., even if they were Hydra. So I think any feelings she has about this group showing up at her doorstep are well earned. That doesn’t necessarily mean that she’s going to behave well, but we tried to give her and Cal a parents love for their child.” Shortly after that, he revealed why he thinks Skye is doomed moving forward in the series. “So I think people understand that, which puts Skye in a real bind because Coulson and May, as her surrogate parents, have also gone out of their way to treat her well. So I think she’s doomed either way. And by “doomed,” I mean that in a really exciting storytelling kind of way.”
