Agents of SHIELD season 5 episode 8 preview: Robin’s role & more

When Agents of SHIELD season 5 episode 8 airs on ABC next week, your nostalgia signals may be flaring up in your brain. After all, Robin’s back … but it’s not the same exact Robin that you remember from earlier on in the show’s run. Beyond that, you’ve also got the revelation that the end of the earth stems all the way back from the very first season of the show. There is clearly a lot to unpack here, and we can only hope that this series is going to continue to evolve and be exciting moving forward.

Below, you can see the Agents of SHIELD season 5 episode 8 synopsis that CarterMatt has for you for some additional insight into what’s coming up:

Coulson and the team discover that the most unexpected person from S.H.I.E.L.D.’s past may hold the key to stopping Earth’s destruction…

Even if Coulson and the team do figure out some more information about how to save the Earth, remember this: It’s no actual guarantee of anything. The only thing that we do know with some confidence at the moment is that the team may be pointed in the right direction. From there, they then have to figure out a way to save the present. Agents of SHIELD season 5 exists on so many layers, and that is one of the reasons why season 5 to date is so excellent — it’s bringing so many different things to the table and it has proven itself, yet again, worthy of stepping things up and taking things to the next level.

Now, our hope is that there is going to be a way for Agents of SHIELD to get some more viewers — the show gets better and better every season, but unfortunately there is still that crop of viewers out there who saw the show back in season 1 and haven’t watched all that much ever since.
