A bunch of still photos from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 8 offer an intriguing peek into an episode linked to Thor: The Dark World.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 8 will represent Marvel’s first effort at tying the big-screen action directly into the lives of Agent Coulson’s team. The episode, which is titled “The Well,” will take place in the aftermath of Marvel’s most recent blockbuster, Thor: The Dark World.
A preview for “The Well” indicates that the plot of the episode will center on an otherworldly staff which give the wielder superhuman strength (and possibly a bit of a rage problem). The numerous still photos from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 8 focus on the characters – especially a new guest star who doesn’t seem entirely trustworthy.

The gentleman in question is Professor Elliot Randolph (Peter McNicol). We don’t know very much about Randolph at the moment beyond the fact that he presumably has information about the mysterious staff at the center of “The Well.” (We also know that he kind of looks like Fitz, but that’s probably not relevant.)
The only potential hint toward the mysterious staff may lie in the laboratory shots, where Coulson is pictured gingerly handling a long, thin object. Could this be a piece of the strength-giving staff? Is it another relic left over from Thor’s climactic battle with Malekith? Is it a new piece of FitzSimmons’ technology? Or perhaps just the world’s longest and flattest piece of classroom chalk?
(Probably not that last one.)
The official summary for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 8 is mum on the subject, but does emphasize the stakes of the crossover episode.
In the aftermath of the events chronicled in the feature film ‘Thor: The Dark World,’ Coulson and The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pick up the pieces – one of which threatens to destroy a member of the team.
Well, that’s encouraging. Stiff upper lip, guys. What’s the worst that could happen?
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 8, “The Well,” will air on Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 8:00 p.m. on ABC.
