Coulson will die in the line of duty at the end of this season.

Then one of the Infinity War movies will resurrect him, and to moviegoers, it seems that he's been dead since The Avengers, but to the 5 million people still watching Agents of SHIELD, his death will have lasted a shorter time.

I can totally imagine that.

Due to popular demand (and an unexpected free hour) I'm doing this thingy separately from the next episode. So what follows are my observations and thoughts for the last episode. This time in semi-chronological order! (Due to being a rewatch.)

• I like how Fitzsimmons' relationship is just a given without any real drama this season. I like me some hard-earned, stable relationships.
• Door's open, she suspects something, what does Simmons do? She pulls out a gun and walks deeper into what could be a trap. -_-
• Eli's a good guy in this universe and alive, meaning that Robbie is probably possessed by the spirit of vengeance. I mean, I suspected as much but still good to know.
• S.H.I.E.L.D. is public now! Coulson's a government official again! Nice to see people react to that with scepticism.
• I liked May's interactions with A.I.D.A. I guess this counts as a Turin test?
• Loved the Lola-Hell Charger race. Disappointed that Robbie didn't go "Rider" during it. I'm guessing he's trying to keep a low profile? Also that one stunt double that didn't look at all like Mack.
• Overwatch lines! I haven't played Overwatch, but I am assured it is a good game.
• I wanted to see Robbie decide to not play by S.H.I.E.L.D's rules and just walk out of the cage. He totally could.
• I get it, James hates himself. Could be a bit more subtle than having him pointing a (fake) gun at his own head.
• Chain.
• A "quantum particle generator" built with the knowledge gleamed from the Darkhold. I guess that makes sense. I just hope they actually show the Darkhold being this unknowable evil book and not just a bunch of "mystical" texts or whatever.
• Chain!
• Of course the fireworks store blew up. It had to blow up. It's like a rule.
• CHAIN!
• The ghosts are kinda nonentities (ha!) so far. Hope they get to do more stuff soon.

speaking of the ghosts, their look is the low point for me in a season that so far had great special effects. I kind of want them to be dealt with already so I don't have to see them again, lol.

 

[TheOddOne]

New episode today:

Season 3: episode 5 "Lockup"

Spoiler

As Robbie Reyes struggles to control The Ghost Rider, S.H.I.E.L.D. infiltrates a high-security prison to unravel the secrets that haunt them all.

- Promo for this week's episode.

 

[The Kree]

They need to wrap this ghost shit up in six like a comic arc.

 

[Lashley]

I want some Darkhold shenanigans.

 

[caliph95]

I want full blown magic at least more than what we have. It doesn't even have to be doctor strange level.

Do we have an estimate of when to expect the crossover (lol) episode to happen?

Oh neat, that means for the first time you can get a whole two weekends to watch the movie and be able to go back to SHIELD without worrying about movie spoilers. (I'm probably still catching the movie opening night...)

 

[mackaveli]

It's on in Canada already. Canada the best. No spoilers from me. Good start.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Steve Rogers will be using Coulson's hard light shield in Infinity Wars since Falcon will be the new Cap. Calling it now.

Nah, you're gonna get Bucky as Cap before Falcon takes the mantle. Falcon doesn't have a redemptive arc in the films to make it as meaningful.

If the TV/movie side was better at working together, you'd have Director Mace be offered to take the mantle by the government since Steve has now abandoned it (and is hopefully running around the world as Nomad). Then Mace could die (or be badly wounded) in Infinity War, and Steve picks the shield back up.

 

[LionPride]

Baseball and Basketball or Agents of SHIELD

Fuck this decision

This is now my headcannon. Mace had been running in a Captain America gear for the whole summer break, only to step down and take the direction of Shield.

12 minutes

 

[HeySeuss]

3 or 4 of us again tonight until the Rider starts kicking ass?

 

[Neoxon]

I'm actually here on time, this time! No rehearsals to keep me from watching SHIELD live.

 

[Luigi87]

In spite of working 6AM tomorrow, I'm tired of not getting to watch live with GAF, so I'm staying up later tonight.

 

[fallengorn]

Here we go!

 

[HeySeuss]

GAF commentary makes every show better.

May still sucks

 

[Neoxon]

So, you guys think that MCU Robbie actually sold his soul to Mephisto?

 

[Slayven]

Circus shit?

with Motorcycle parts?

Who they fooling?

Yeah they in Johnny Blaze's house

 

[Neoxon]

Circus shit?

Yeah they in Johnny Blaze's house

That would be a pretty cool twist.

 

[LionPride]

Did Blue Sun get to him?

 

[……forgetit]

What's going in with ABC Atlanta? It's not on

 

[Neoxon]

Welp, R.I.P.

 

[HeySeuss]

So ghosts can't read it? Need some back story on this book

 

[Neoxon]

So ghosts can't read it? Need some back story on this book

Let's just say that you better hope that Doctor Strange ends up putting the book under lock & key in the end.

 

[Slayven]

So ghosts can't read it? Need some back story on this book

Darkhold gives you what want, but eats your soul. My guess is she is just fumes

 

[……forgetit]

What the hell, for some reason a special report about Atlanta sex trafficking is on instead. Just...why?

 

[HeySeuss]

Darkhold gives you what want, but eats your soul. My guess is she is just fumes

This actually makes sense lol

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I feel like AoS is really tryna get a Doctor Strange appearance by bringing in the Darkhold. That's the kinda shit he needs to deal with.

 

[Slayven]

This actually makes sense lol

Fun fact, the first vampire was created from a spell in the Darkhold

 

[HeySeuss]

IT is fascinating... Somebody's jealous

 

[……forgetit]

Jeez this sucks, guess I'll watch it tomorrow -_-

 

[The Kree]

I feel like AoS is really tryna get a Doctor Strange appearance by bringing in the Darkhold. That's the kinda shit he needs to deal with.

Or maybe the Ghost Rider could possibly do something about it.

 

[Slayven]

I feel like AoS is really tryna get a Doctor Strange appearance by bringing in the Darkhold. That's the kinda shit he needs to deal with.

Well even in the comics he didn't have much to do with it

There was a whole series of a team of low level mystics that chased the book and tried to save people

 

[HeySeuss]

Fun fact, the first vampire was created from a spell in the Darkhold

Isn't it essentially the sci-fi version of the Egyptian myth of the Book of Light and the Book of the Dead? Yin and Yang kinda thing?

Only with good spells and bad spells?

 

[Neoxon]

Great, another hallucinating maniac.

 

[StarCreator]

So why did they even bring Simmons to see ADA in the first place besides drama?

Hope the uncle isn't dead.

 

[Slayven]

Isn't it essentially the sci-fi version of the Egyptian myth of the Book of Light and the Book of the Dead? Yin and Yang kinda thing?

Only with good spells and bad spells?

Yeah but depends on what you could as a bad spell. The Darkhold also has a spell in it that once read would destroy every vampire on earth the next sunrise if read.

But yeah the Book of The Vishanti is the "Good" counter part to the Darkhold

 

[Neoxon]

IT is fascinating... Somebody's jealous

That'd be the first time that Fitz made Simmons jealous.

 

[fallengorn]

We got shield action!

 

[Slayven]

Light shield ahedhaehewpwopq!!!

 

[Luigi87]

Coulson's SHIELD shield is the best.

 

[Neoxon]

ENERGY SHIELD!!!!

 

[HeySeuss]

Yeah but depends on what you could as a bad spell. The Darkhold also has a spell in it that once read would destroy every vampire on earth the next sunrise if read.

Gotcha.

Huzzah discount Captain Shield!

 

[Neoxon]

Who you gonna call, Mack?

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Mack is having none of those needles. Haha

Let me dream!
