Hi everybody,

i am currently near the end of season 5 (episode 20) and tbh i am not really a fan of the alien and time travel story (a bit to much for my liking) and some hydra parts again (really, how many times do they have to destroy it completely?). So does it get better in the last 2 seasons?

This season kinda gave me DC´s Legend of Tomorrow vibes. So are the last 2 seasons good with a well written ending or not?

10/10 episode

So I was thinking and I asked myself… when Simmons finally wakes up in the containment at the bottom of the ocean and Fitz tells her that he didn’t understand why they sank, what did he mean by that? Did he mean that they were supposed to crash and d!e or that they were supposed to stay on water? I didn’t understand that..

She did say there’s nothing powerful enough to defeat her except sarge and she took a whole magazine of bullets to the chest and claimed they slightly hurt

Are we ever getting bloopers for those seasons and if not why?

Especially of Ward not turning in the team, or taking Skye with him to the dark side? I’m not picky, I just want my Skye and Ward fix.

Very curious which team member people identify with most. I've always identified most with Fitzsimmons, but I am admittedly on the road to a PhD so I guess that's not surprising. Are there folks who identify with the team members from operations?

Do I need to Re-watch every episode of season 5?

In your opinion.

Daisy, being one of the main protagonists, has power revolving around altering gravity. The world is destroyed due to the Gravitonium. The monoliths can be opened up by what? Gravity alteration

I was wondering, because of what happened at the end of Season 4 with Ghost Rider and Coulson, since he made a deal with him, wouldn’t he have gone to hell after his death? Maybe I’m just dumb and they have the answer to that in the comics but I was just curious.

I don't know many people who watched AoS or are Marvel fans so I just wanna share my thoughts in this community (I don't know many people in general LOL). & also because I've watched this show thrice so far (in a row) but i want to remember the best parts of it, so i'm gonna write it here. *Sorry this is gonna be really long but this show is taking up too much of my brain space and i have too many thoughts on it.

PS. TLDR is at the bottom. Please recommend me other shows to watch because LIFE IS MEANINGLESS AFTER AoS.

1. My favorite storyline: Season 4 LMDs

There are so many shows trying to create futuristic AI concepts but i've never seen any who did it as well as AoS did. AIDA was so in depth and i reallyyy appreciated how the writers created it. As someone studying CS i can't even comprehend the technicality needed to write a program as human-like as AIDA, while combining it with bio technology... MINDBLOWING. I'm glad that this isn't real (yet) because if a robot that passes the Turing Test starts walking around my neighbourhood i'll actually shit myself. AND WHEN AIDA HERSELF started creating LMDs with glowing brains i (s)creamed like who tf came up with that genius idea to portray an even more advanced AI that can't be created by humans (Radcliffe)!!!

1.1 Season 4 May Storyline

The whole mindfking concept about May being trapped in a loop was so interesting to watch. I loved how we never knew what was happening and who the real May was and it just made the reveal so much more satisfying. And the effort that the writers put in to create the details, like May not feeling relaxed in a spa but feeling happy while she's fighting?! It brought out the character essence and I'M LIVING FOR IT.

1.2 Season 4 Framework

I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SAY HOW GOOD THIS WAS it was literally a masterpiece and ALL OF YOU KNOW IT. I love how they brought Grant Ward back, Brett Dalton is so unbelievably talented. He played 4 different roles (Undercover SHIELD agent, HYDRA reveal, Hive, and the Framework Ward) back-to-back and it was like watching completely different characters even though he had the same face. and THE DOCTOR? Fitz's duality? DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED. slightly venturing out of Season 4 but when he had trouble with his identities later on, it made me feel like his character is so 4-dimensional. He became more than just an innocent, harmless guy and his confusion made me love his character even more. Jemma and Daisy really shined in this portion, it was so thrilling watching them hide from Hydra and trying to convince the rest of the SHIELD team to remember who they were. I was so amused watching May as a hydra agent as with such a tough character, any environmental circumstances could have pushed her either way (to join SHIELD or HYDRA). and i really empathized when we found out that she joined HYDRA BECAUSE she didn't kill the little girl in Bahrain... like what even IS the right decision to make there? But when she realized that the Patroit sacrificed himself to save them and decided to join powers with Daisy, it was just CHEF'S KISS oui oui. Also, Coulson and his soap (that's all).

2. My Favorite Side Character: Andrew/ Lash

This whole storyline with Lash was so well marinated and well thought out. Lash's death hit me the hardest, it was so complicated to describe his relationship with May by the time he fully turned into Lash. Andrew's character was so horribly misunderstood - he didn't want to become a monster and he couldn't exactly control what he was doing when he turned. Everyone perceived Lash to be evil and scary at first, and it made sense; he went around killing inhumans and vanished without a trace or an explanation. It was so heartbreaking to see Andrew being so helpless. It's probably not that deep but it made me think about how some people may have thoughts that are out of their control, and while it is still wrong to act on them, they may be as affected and as unhappy as Andrew was by that. It was literally a lose-lose situation for everyone. Andrew didn't want this, May didn't want this, and obviously none of the dead inhumans wanted this. I can't even describe how complex they portrayed May's emotions to be towards Andrew/ Lash, because he literally is Andrew/ Lash, they come as a set. They really wrapped up this storyline SO well when they brought him back as a way to save Daisy from Hive. His mission all along was to save Daisy, and it still gives me goosebumps thinking about it. It wouldn't have been as impactful as if they made his purpose to be to kill Hive, because Hive is so incredibly powerful he was literally the boss of all inhumans. It wouldn't make sense that he would overpower Hive. The fact that they could not only come up with a believable storyline, while also ending Lash's story on a good note (his purpose was to save, not to kill) just leaves me speechless.

3. My Least Favorite Season and Why: Season 5 & the Kree

Okay, hear me out. It's not because the storyline was bad, it was actually immaculate. But god did it make me feel HORRIBLE. I hated the whole end-of-the-world landscape, it was so bleak and dreary. If that was gonna happen in 80 years, I'll MAKE SURE that i'll be out of here by then. i do NOT want to meet Kasius and his blue muscle gang?? and the WORST part was seeing the future Yo-yo with no arms getting revived to predict the future D: It's literally one of my worst fears coming true. I had surgery on my non-dominant arm recently and it already felt so debilitating having a partial handicap for a month, I can't imagine the struggles people with non-functional/ amputated limbs go through everyday. I could totally understand her frustration and fear after that when she couldn't get over what she saw, the other characters shouldn't have been so hard on her. I FELT IT when she said that no one was listening to her because preach, she was the only one who saw herself in the future under such terrifying circumstances, if i were her i would've just left SHIELD and gone FAR FAR away to live in the mountains. The whole concept of them being able to revive people was so scary like if i were dead JUST LET ME STAY DEAD i don't wanna be brought back 1000 times wtf. And also the people living in that time were absolutely unhinged it was like humans reverted back to the medieval times, it was okay to kill people and you're just living in fear the entire time. Day in and day out they stay in the same confined place under the rule of a species literally created for war?? omg. And i can't even deal with how they treated inhumans like animals, fighting for entertainment and money (and to be sold to other planets)... This season made me need therapy fr. The only redeeming part of this season was Fitz-Enoch and their bestie4lyfe dynamic. I love love love Enoch so much that I contemplated changing my name to Enoch. He was just a creepy little alien in a man-suit at the start but as we got to know him, he just became a cute little patootie.

4. Science and Physics

I was just so super fascinated by the science ideas and knowledge this show had, the producers are freaking perfect. I have no other words to describe them. Especially during the first few seasons where we got to see all the SHIELD tech, everything was made with such precision and detail my jaw dropped. My jaw was on the floor for so long that it gave me TMJ. Starring the first major element of the show's concept, the idea of what Gravitonium was so innovative and insane. From Ian Quinn's to Talbot's involvement, it was such a journey and as each season went by, we understood more and more of Gravitonium's properties. This was one of the many many things that made me gasp in disbelief at the fact that the writers didn't plan all 7 seasons at once. I can't wrap my head around how they only wrote the FIRST season before starting to film. Another of my favorite concepts is the timeline concept, and Fitz's explanation opened my mind up to a whole other realm of quantum physics. Imagine that we live on a 2-dimensional plane (like a paper). If you stack many pieces of paper together, it becomes 3-dimensional. Draw a line at the side of the stack to represent the timeline. However, each instance is still 2-dimensional, and the timeline is not flowing progressively. It doesn't mean that the paper on top comes "after" the paper on the bottom. It's like time, which are on different planes to create a new dimension?? Insane. And when they "changed" the future, it was just them jumping onto another timeline... INCREDIBLE.

5. Enoch is my Spirit Chronicom

I wish that I had my OWN Enoch. I WOULD NEVER LEAVE HIM IN THE PAST for like idk what 60 years... Poor Enoch was stuck with bartending alone for decades in his ironically chirpy little flowery shirt. I love Coulson, he's literally my favorite character (most of the time) except when he kept hanging up on Enoch and treating Enoch like an emotionless creature :( None of them really cared for Enoch other than Fitz, but Enoch gave up his life WITHOUT HESITATION to save them. He didn't even have Fitz around when he was dying, and I WAS BAWLING when he said that he was feeling lonely </3.

6. My Favorite Main Characters

Coulson is my ultimate comfort character. I often convince myself that the only reason we are not together is because I was born 30 years late. He has so many funny one-liners in both SHIELD and the MCU, and I love that they made a 7-season show starring him as one of the main characters. The only words to describe May are cool and hot. I am absolutely in love with her and I wish that we could've seen more of her playful side (like when she pranked Fitz with whipped cream). It's just so lovely to see Ming Na Wen being so bubbly and cheerful in real life. I am always in awe of how she does all her fighting scenes when she was like 50+?! And she looks SO YOUNG. She's truly amazing and it's such a shame that she doesn't appear in the MCU movies. Watching Fitz-Simmons scenes always make me so happy, other than when they went diving in courtesy of Ward. The most memorably lighthearted scene was when Fitz was telling Simmons that he didn't need to see space, because he had something more magnificent in front of him. A picture of space. LOL. Fitz-Simmons have been through SO MUCH, from Simmons jumping out of an airplane, Simmons being stranded in Maveth, Fitz having brain damage and Simmons leaving, Fitz having an identity crisis, Simmons going to the future, Fitz dying (I can't feel my legs NOOO), Simmons going planet hopping to find Fitz, them being separated because of the Chronicoms... THEY DESERVE THE WORLD. Even though Hunter was only there for a short while, he will always hold a special place in my heart. Amidst all the chaos that the characters face, Hunter was always like an anchor to me, and i couldn't get enough of the Coulson-Hunter-Fitz trio LMAO. I was so excited to see him back in Season 5 to break Fitz out of prison but imagine my DISAPPOINTMENT when i found out that he only came back for like 1 episode. But i'm so glad that at least the episode that they asked him to cameo in involved his friendship with Fitz, it was so fun to watch.

7. Daisy and Zabo (Cal)

I haven't mentioned much of Daisy despite her being the MAIN main character, she isn't one of my favorite characters (I know, sorry). BUT i did enjoy the dynamics between her and Zabo, and i LOVED Zabo. Like Lash, i feel that Zabo was so misunderstood. He was indeed crazy and a killer, but he was doing it for Jiaying who is understandably psychotic. All he wanted to do was to love Daisy, and he would give everything to have his family back together. It was so bittersweet when Daisy saw him at his vet clinic and he couldn't remember her. I'm glad that he's living a happy life and is able to start afresh, but it was at the cost of losing his daughter. I guess that was the best ending they could give him without him living in misery, wondering when he'll see Daisy again. it just seems so sad that Daisy spent her entire life searching for her parents, and when she was starting to warm up to her father, she lost him all over again.

CONCLUSION

I will never ever EVER stop talking about how much i love this show. I haven't found a show that's as good as SHIELD, and i'm not sure i ever will, despite watching most (if not all) of Marvel's TV shows. Nothing can ever live up to the standards of AoS, and i can't even imagine how much effort was put into making this show. PLEASE recommend me aNY other show to watch with even half as much quality because I literally can't seem to get into any drama after watching AoS.

TLDR: I love Enoch, I want to change my name to Enoch. Coulson is my husband in my next life, and May is my wife in my life after that. I will be thinking of Hunter tonight for comforting dreams, and Lash has ripped out my heart (like he did the inhumans) with the way he died. and Simmons, i don't need to see space, i have something magnificent right here. A picture of space.

...would have been spent huddled in the bathroom. Think about it: in the Lighthouse of the future, humans were fed some kind of processed nutrients, it looked like dog chow. With the rare fresh fruit. When he travels back in time to the present, what's the first thing he does? Find a bar, chugging several Zimas while chowing down on a loaded burger with a tower of onion rings. Then runs into a table and knocks himself out. I'm surprised he wasn't covered in vomit when Daisy sprung him from jail. Other environmental factors aside, his gut biome would have been in turmoil.

In S1E2 Coulson says that Ward speaks 6 different languages. During the course of the show, we see him speaking French (in the pilot) and Russian. if we add English, we see a total of 3.

Does anyone happen to know how many languages Brett Dalton actually speaks IRL? I don’t know Russian or spoken French well enough to be able to tell how fluent his delivery was in-show.

Who do you guys think fell first for each other? Skye or Ward?

I always thought Skye, but rewatching this scene I noticed Ward’s jealousy, so, I’m not sure…

Just finished season 6, what is everybody's opinion on it?

Joey: he was recurring in S3 but he easily could’ve been main cast

Hunter: after they wrote him off for the spin-off (which got canceled), they could’ve re-introduced him and Bobbi, or at least just Hunter (since Bobbi found other work)

Alisha: had huge potential for main cast

Talbot: after Rosalind died, he could have taken over her role, but instead he only showed up a couple of times in S3

Rosalind: gone too soon

Banks: gone too soon

On the other hand, characters they used too much: Lincoln.

I honestly feel so terrible for Cal and wish Daisy would’ve empathized quicker… if my daughter was stolen like that, I’d probably be ruthless too, especially if I took a bunch of drugs that made me lose control over emotions… his excitement for Daisy and knowing she’s just gonna crush him makes me so sad… I’m glad he got a happy ending but I wish he could’ve had an ending with Daisy… but I’m glad she kept his name in memory of him but I can’t fault a guy willing to go to the ends of the Earth for his child… and I know he Did some unwarranted stupid things but he was just so filled with rage because Daisy probably would’ve welcomed him with open arms if she didn’t have her back up family, Shield, and I understand why he was jealous she already had a father figure when he should’ve been grateful but his over excitement and hearing him talk about all the things he would’ve done if she wasn’t taken make me so sad… and I really wish they’d have shown the massacre her parents made looking for her… he didn’t have a formula back then and her power is through touch so I don’t understand how they were able to do all that.

I kind of wish May and Lash would’ve had that child…. Imagine what an unstoppable beast that kid would be…. Idk who’s side or if it’d be controllable but wouldve been pretty cool to find out… or terrifying. Interesting at the very least.

Lincoln said he was from Cincinnati but he also said they only transform a certain few…. But I don’t understand how they found him or deemed him worthy when he didn’t grow up there…. And I thought people were raised there then given gifts but he said nobody lives there, Afterlife is pretty confusing, can someone explain?

Was there an out of universe reason Iain De Caestecker was mostly absent in the 7th season? It’s been awhile at this point; wasn’t sure if anything has been revealed in terms of why the plot was written to mostly keep Fitz out of the show until the finale.

I get the “in universe” reason they did it, but wasn’t sure if they wrote the plot that way for specific reasons, in particular to work around Iain De Caestecker’s schedule around that time or he was just getting tired of being in the show at that point.

Hello, was wondering if anyone has some awesome art or pictures I could use as a wallpaper for my laptop.

I have a really nice one for my phone, and I want one for my laptop. The one I have for my phone is the SHIELD logo as a maze with the characters running around. Idk where I found it (somewhere on google).

I really hate Gonzales' Shield. I know they started out good intentions. But actions speak loader then words.

Instead of coming to Coulson with his concerns Gonzales sends Bobbi and Mac to spy on Coulson and get ahold of Fury's Toolbox. Gonzales justifies his actions by saying Coulson was probably being influenced by the alien blood that used to bring him back from the dead. But Coulson counters this by saying he didn't ask Fury to do it. Then there is the matter of Coulson go after alien tech. Coulson just stumbled into it all because of what Hydria was doing. All Coulson was after was quinjet with it's cloaking abilities. When Coulson learned Hydria was going after the first 084, he made that a priority as well.

Gonzales makes the big speech to May about people should be loyal to Shied and not one man. And that Shied should be untied. It only makes Gonzales look like a hypocrite. Gonzales pretty much instigated a coup. Which in no way will inspire people to be loyal to the new regime. Fiz and Jemma have already undermined Gonzales authorly by switching out the Toolbox with a fake and smuggling it off-base. Hunter is mad at Bobbi and Mac for lying to him and join up with Coulson. Fiz is mad at Mac for lying to him.

Then there was the matter of allowing a trigger happy asshole to "bring" Skye in. Bobbie wanted to bring her in peacefully or use an icer if need be. Instead everyone is carrying loaded weapons. At the time the only thing Skye is aware of is May told her leave. Skye doesn't know what is happening, only that her life is danger and needs to flee. And defends herself when she is threatened,

Coulson knows Gonzales has a point but he also has to deal finishing off Hydria. For which is still a very real problem. And a problem Gonzales doesn't seem interested in.

Why did Garrett turn into a madder man after he was injected with the serum, and seemingly everyone else went crazy except ones with memory wipes all except Skye??
