Note: While I have made a habit of writing complete episode recaps combined with my reviews, starting with tonight’s episode of Agents I will be writing reviews and recaps as separate articles. I will place a link to the recap within the review, and vice versa, when both articles are complete

Episode: 22 (S01E22)
Airdate: May 13, 2014
This inaugural season of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has had its ups and downs, but fortunately for the series most of the ups have come recently, and the announcement last week that ABC is picking the show up for a second season means that they have noticed that the show is beginning to show some real potential. The “Uprising” story-arc has led viewers through the last six weeks at a break-neck pace, as events have kept the team on edge and always on the brink of disaster. Last week left us with some pretty big questions, and there are several more that have been simmering all season long, so the questions are: does the season finale live up to the rest of the “Uprising” arc? and do we get answers to any of the questions Tancharoen and Whedon have been teasing us with? Click through after the break to find out.
<<Spoiler Alert: This review of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S01E22 – “Beginning of the End” – will discuss major plot points and events in the episode, as well as spoilers that apply to events in the recently released movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier; read at your own risk!>>
