As a run-of-the-mill Agents of SHIELD villain, Nathaniel is a bit lackluster, employing a kind of casual evil that presents his personal interest as a foregone conclusion to everyone while mostly ignoring the implications for both Hydra and SHIELD. The episode title, “After, Before,” alludes to the fact that we’re visiting the hidden Inhuman community Afterlife before it was exposed to the outside world, and this is where Sybil’s latest Chronicom strategy becomes a bit fuzzy with regard to Nathaniel Malick’s involvement.
