"Beginning of the End" - Dark secrets are revealed as Coulson and his team put everything on the line to stop Garrett and the forces of Hydra, on the explosive season finale of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tuesday, May 13 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

There's also the standard list of stars/guests.

Plus, a spoiler of a guest star?

Spoiler

Patton Oswalt as Koenig

 

[Alcoremortis]

I have a question and maybe it's been talked about but,..

Why did Patton Oswalt stop holding a gun on Ward after he said he liked Skye? How did that change the fact that he had just lied on the previous three or so questions about Hydra?

Because Patton Oswalt's character mistakenly thought that the previous lies were to cover up the fact that Ward was in love with Skye. Since SHIELD agents shouldn't fraternize like that, especially now, when it could cost lives. Given Ward's other answers, it also seemed like something he wouldn't want to talk about, given it has emotional context.

I'm not going to get too excited just yet. It could be a flashback.

Holy shit if true. SLJ not listed there. Guess they're trying to keep it a surprise as much as possible?

My guess as well. Maybe even more secret guests will show up!

 

[kirblar]

Who do you think it is?

This person.

Could just be a bit part they had to include for contract reasons. We'll see - resemblance immediately popped out to me considering that it'd make sense for that person to be in the finale.

 

[anaron]

This person.

I feel like they'd cast someone slightly higher profile but that would be cool.

 

[Dai101]

LMD confirmed?

YES!! LMD's are canon bitches!! Soon, Doombots too.

If true, that's perfect casting. She would look amazing as Brand

 

[Father_Brain]

Please, god, no LMDs. Last thing this show needs is a Get Out of Death Free card to kill any dramatic stakes.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

There has to be more context for this. How do you logically get from "employee" to a relatively major Marvel character?

 

[Dai101]

"For some reason all and only the functioning LMD's look like Patton Oswalt"

You can kill one every week!!!

 

[number11]

After the constant fake deaths we've already seen in the MCU, introducing LMDs would be a terrible decision

 

[kirblar]

There has to be more context for this. How do you logically get from "employee" to a relatively major Marvel character?

Because of what I've thought the answer to the "Who saved Coulson's Life?" question was. I searched up the guest stars that I didn't recognize, and then boom, brain made the connection immediately.

Again, could be completely wrong, but its the type of thing you would need a fake name for on their first appearance.

 

[Dai101]

What constant fake deaths?

 

[kirblar]

What constant fake deaths?

There are at least 3 big ones so far. You have to make some of them stick.

 

[number11]

What constant fake deaths?

Spoiler for several Marvel films

Spoiler

Nick Fury, Loki, Coulson, and technically Bucky

Never thought of those as deaths, maybe only if you don't really follow the comics or any news.

A few villains certainly died.

The fact that her abilities have

Nah,

They'd leave that stuff out, it's completely unnecessary and was added later on.

 

[danielcw]

Alright. Deathlok's design has annoyed me enough to make me try to concept a version myself.



Basically, I put him in tactical gear and gave it a color palette closer to the comics. Dude is basically the Terminator. He should look intimidating and scary when he walks in to a room

First of all, I like your design and really wish they would use some elements.

but the current Deathlock is scary and intimidating to me, in motion, in scenes.

Those examples all had their dramatic use, so they mattered, even if they don't stook.

LMDs have already been openly referred to in the MCU by Tony Stark in the beginning of Avengers.

ALL THE YES.

It's too bad they can't use

SWORD

makes SHIELD look like the most inteligent and prepared organization on Earth.

 

[Slayven]

Not a bad way to look at life, TBH. Much better than jumping from one mercenary role to another just to pay down a third Bentley.

Plus he has a kid now.

Spoiler

I'm guessing Koenig's appearance is probably just a flashback to when Fury set up Providence and put him charge, while Fury is explaining everything to Coulson.

 

[Red Arremer]

YES!! LMD's are canon bitches!! Soon, Doombots too.

Nope. Fox owns the Fantastic Four and their associated characters, thus they own Doom, thus Marvel won't use them in the MCU, even if they could.

When?
I don't remeber it, could you please bring me up to speed?

 

[richiek]

When Tony is trying to dodge Agent Coulson, he tells him over the phone that he has reached the Life Model Decoy of Tony Stark.

Ah I see. Thank you
That's what I get for only watching the movie in German.
The German dub called it Android Copy

There needs me a running joke where Koenig gets killed every season.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Guy was dressed as a SHIELD Agent at WonderCon.

Went up to him and whispered "Hail HYDRA".

Then very obviously started nudging him and going "eh? EH???".

I spoke to soon. I didn't finish episode 17 when I wrote that. I just did now. Ugh. My head.

 

[pulga]

Well this show has certainly improved in the wake of Winter Soldier!

Still doesn't explain why Coulson would murder those security guards, but alas, improvement is improvement.

Can't wait to see Maria Hill

 

[eastx]

Because they were trying to murder him. Now get over it already.

 

[Hero]

Yeah but they were trespassing. Totally in the wrong. I mean, I get why but I also felt it was really out of character for Coulson.

 

[Htown]

they were Hydra anyway

MOVING ON
