ABC has released the official description for the second episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s third season, and it reveals that the team will turn to Asgard for help in finding out where exactly Simmons has disappeared to. Hit the jump for details on "Purpose In The Machine"...

“Purpose in the Machine” – Fitz and the team enlist the aid of an Asgardian to unlock the secrets of the ancient monolith that swallowed Simmons, and Agent May is at a crossroads in her personal and professional life, on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
 
“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” stars Clark Gregg as Director Phil Coulson, Ming-Na Wen as Agent Melinda May, Brett Dalton as Grant Ward, Chloe Bennet as Agent Daisy Johnson, Iain De Caestecker as Agent Leo Fitz, Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Jemma Simmons, Nick Blood as Agent Lance Hunter, Adrianne Palicki as Agent Bobbi Morse., Henry Simmons as Agent Alphonso “Mack” Mackenzie and Luke Mitchell as Lincoln Campbell.
 
Guest starring Blair Underwood as Dr. Andrew Garner, Peter MacNicol as Professor Elliott Randolph, Daz Crawford as Kebo, Spencer Treat Clark as Alexander, Alex Hyde-White as Lord Thornally, Daniel J. Wolfe as Lord Manzini, Piers Stubbs as younger lord, James Hong as William May and Darius Cottrell as Moe.
 
”Purpose in the Machine” was written by DJ Doyle and directed by Kevin Tancharoen.


With Jaimie Alexander busy starring in NBC's Blindspot, she obviously won't be appearing in this Asgard-centric second episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s third season, so it's going to be interesting to see how this series goes about expanding on those who hail from Thor's home realm.

"Peter MacNicol as Professor Elliott Randolph"

That's the guy from the "anger staff" episode in season 1, if I remember correctly. Also the dude from Ghostbusters 2.

Not big on the idea of "Marvel's Most Wanted", but am still a big fan of this show.

Better to start off shitty and get better and better than start really good and downgrade season after season......won't name anything.

"I can not wait until Marvel's Most Wanted. Quit complaining."

I didn't "complain" about Marvel's Most Wanted, just said I am not looking forward to it.

Maybe you should stop complaining

Peter MacNicol played an Asgardian posing as a University professor in season 1 for the Thor: The Dark World tie-in. Since he's in this episode too -he's most likely the one SHIELD turns towards.

@Peter String I was wondering when Shield was going to pull On that tread from season1 because I really enjoyed his character and felt he'd never show up again!

Hey, that Asgardian from the under-whelming tie-in to THOR: THE DARK WORLD is back! Moe is in this to! Now we're getting an under-whelming tie-in to THE SIMPSONS.





jk. I actually like the series.
