‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Fires Up Fans on Social Media: ‘Outstanding,’ ‘Exceptional,’ ‘Best Episode So Far’

(Spoiler alert: Please do not read on if you haven’t watched Tuesday’s episode of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”)

Titled “4,722 Hours,” Tuesday’s episode of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” was a pivotal night for one major character, namely Jemma Simmons played by Elizabeth Henstridge.

And while Simmons being pulled into the Monolith and taken to the other planet was reminiscent of Matt Damon being marooned in “The Martian,” Henstridge truly made the experience her own.

Her out-of-this-world performance was soon lauded on social media, with some fans calling for the actress to be nominated for an Emmy, and others revealing she had brought them to tears.

A few fans were also brokenhearted when Simmons stumbled upon Will (Dillon Casey) in fear that it would ruin chances of a Fitz-Simmons romance with Iain De Caestecker‘s character … or even worse, create a love triangle.

“Not gonna lie, I’m a little messed up right now,” one viewer wept.

#AgentsofSHIELD What a great episode! Great acting by @DillonCasey and especially @Lil_Henstridge. Usually don't watch an episode twice. — Firejack007 (@firejack007) October 28, 2015





Also, someone on the #AgentsofSHIELD writing staff clearly read The Martian over the summer. — coffeejunkii (@coffeejunkii) October 28, 2015

I think tonights #AgentsofSHIELD was one of the best episodes they have done so far! — Charles Pechonick (@CRPechonick) October 28, 2015









I thought the #FitzSimmons storyline would be about Jemma healing and Fitz being there for her. Not a love triangle. #AgentsofShield — Juliet (@greenleo1) October 28, 2015





Yo Fitz…it doesn't count if she was in another dimension. #AgentsofSHIELD — Muhammad Ollie (@Felonious_munk) October 28, 2015
