Hawkeye 04- Partners, Am I Right?

 

This episode clocked in at 40 minutes, and that includes all the credits!  If this keeps up the last episode will be about 10 minutes long.  Boom!  I doubt that will happen, but it would be amusing.  Once again this is an action packed episode, but there are some amusing bits with Kate's mom and Jack.  There is also talk of Tasha and how Clint met her.  Kate still wants to design a costume for Hawkeye.  Finally, Yelena, the White Widow (what else are they gonna call her) shows up.  Clint calls her a Black Widow assassin, but we the viewers know there is more going on.  Did the Swordsman (now ID'd as the leader of the Tracksuits) hire Valentina to send Yelena after Clint?  I am looking forward to the next couple episodes. 

I think it's another six episode run.  That makes sense, and they get to take their time with the characters, which is nice.  I do think they could spice up some of the earlier episodes a bit, but the slow build can work.  We do see Clint tired and sore from these adventures,  He is probably in his 40s now, so it would take longer to recuperate from all that action.  Superheroing really is a young person's game.

Next- the good Captain
