Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
This was excellent TV.
When “4,722 Hours” began with the flashback to the scene where Simmons got pulled into the Monolith and taken to the other planet, I wondered “Wait, is this episode going to only be about what happened to her?” And then the title came up – and it wasn’t the usual logo on the black screen, with the big sound effect. It just quietly appeared over the desolate, blue landscape Simmons was trapped in. And it was clear that yes, this was going to be a very different episode...
Obviously the concept of a character marooned by themselves is not a new one – and in fact, I had amusingly just (yeah, a few weeks after it opened) seen The Martian before watching this episode, so those parallels were fresh. Plus, series like Galactica and Star Trek have told stories of this sort, among others. But this is Agents of SHIELD, a big, Marvel/ABC network TV series with a specific, (Earthbound) vibe and feel to it. So for them to take this show in this direction, even for a week, was bold and exciting.
