    From that trailer, is it too obvious to assume
    Skrull?

    So what will the show do to Fitz and Simmons this season?

    Fitz has memory loss from being frozen?
    Simmons goes blind from a stray laser blast?
    Fiz goes the Doctor full time?

    :(

    Fitz mentions wanting to vacation in Tahiti, because he hears it's a magical place.
    Simmons hilariously misunderstands and wipes his mind (assuming he wanted to forget about Matrix Fitz).

    I just finished the last season of SHIELD and, uh...so what happened to Deke? He said he wanted to see more of the world just in case he blinked out of existence...and then he just wasn't there anymore? They didn't show him and none of the other people mentioned him still existing, so did he just cease to exist and everybody forgot about him or what?

    I thought that was the implication of his empty room, yeah.

    They left it pretty open-ended. But in the next season,
    it's confirmed that he'll be back as it was announced last year that he's been promoted to series regular.

    Which I'm ok with. I loved Deke and want him to annoy a whole new an different Fitz. :D

    He gets to find out he has a grandson "that's the worst" all over again! :D

    Yeah, I was a little eh on Deke at first but I really loved the direction they took him later in terms of his personality and interactions.

  • JragghenJragghen Registered User regular
    I was 100% on the Deke train once he uttered the word Zima.

    Clark Gregg interview. No real spoilers as long as you watched the season 6 teaser.

    It's pretty much a given that the Avengers are gonna undo the "snap", right?

    Well... Loki dicked around with the Infinity Stone before giving it to Thanos, which resurrects Loki, which by the transitive nature of comic-book-coincidence, and something-something first beloved of Lorelai (who has ties to Loki in the comics), boom, he's back. And hey, if it gets Elena Satine back on a Marvel show, I'm all for that.

    Though I'd also be amused if there's an abandoned Hydra cloning facility that's just come online, and the team spend an act, break to break, killing Wards over and over again, in different and more interesting ways, before they're able to shut down the facility. Sounds hokey, but I have confidence the showrunners could pull it off.

    But I like an idea @Forar had a year or two ago.

    In the finale at the end of Season 7 (assuming no renewal), whatever base they're operating out of, gets shuttered, and they all go their own way. Brett Dalton, in a janitors uniform, and wearing a big moustache, with noone acknowledging him, and with no mugging for the camera, locks the door to the facility, and it fades to black. Sort of an homage to both the end of Babylon 5 (one of the first genre shows to intentionally fit seasonal and multiseasonal arcs into, which Whedon excelled at with Buffy), and that Grant keeps coming back again and again.

    Turns out his real name is Jamie Madrox.

    @Forar is gonna lose it. As far as Forar is concerned, there's never enough Melinda May.

    I'm a Coulson fan (Clark Gregg is my spirit animal), so I'm lowering my expectations heavily.

    Just so we're clear I'm still riding the high from binging the last two seasons. I don't know how I'm going to handle having to wait between episodes, but it probably involves something I've termed "excited sobbing".

    I'm going with either your second or fourth suggestion.

    I'm guessing we're dealing with
    Parallel universes. "Coulson, but not as we know it." We've done LMDs and timeline shenanigans already. :)

    I actually think this ties into season 5, specifically
    trailer/S5 spoilers/speculation
    Fitz's insistance that you cant change the time line, only create parallel realities. I think both Coulson and Deke are from parallel realities. Also thats how Ward returns.

    I got nothing for you now. Try again later.

    Off-Topic: Man, what is with 2019 and trailers using Linkin Park? The Magic: The Gathering trailer for War of the Spark ALSO used that same song.

    This is just like back in 2017, when "Take Me Home, Country Roads" was featured in all sorts of media (like Logan Lucky and the Kingmen sequel).

    After seeing Endgame (don't worry, no spoilers here), I highly doubt anything that happened in that movie will be reflected in AoS. I'm fully expecting the events of the movie to be ignored. I doubt anyone on set knew what was going to happen in the film.

    That being said, the trailer got me excited for the new season.

    Ostensibly it's set in-between Infinity War and Endgame anyway.

    This actually makes me a little upset at how the two sides of the MCU, movies and TV, are farther apart and not more closely integrated.

    Marvel's Agents of SHIELD will not address Avengers: Endgame events

    http://flip.it/O07kZk

    I'm also placing the blame squarely on this apparently long running and ongoing fight I just learned about between Fiege and Marvel CEO Perlmutter. One that Fiege clearly "won" when Disney stepped in and made Fiege/movie report to them and no longer directly to Marvel. New York still runs the TV side.

    Yeah, pretty much what I expected. Might as well just consider them separate things now. Too bad.

    That being said, I read a spoiler-free review of the first episode of the reason last night and it sounds pretty good!

    edit:

    minor bummer for me: I don't have cable, and I just discovered that my OTA antenna doesn't pick up the local ABC affiliate. Guess I won't be watching live next Friday. Good thing I still have my Hulu subscription.

    It is ridiculous they couldn't get a heads up on the state of affairs of MCU land. They had a year off, seemingly to accommodate this situation.

    I assume then that the plot will revolve around
    them being in the wrong reality. BadCoulson is a timecop or something who forcibly shuts down branching timelines, which AoS now is.

    Oh brilliant
