It's amazing how they pretty much built up a character and that character's relationships over a single episode so that their death has impact. Kudos to the writers and director.

I was thinking the same thing. There are characters who have been around for 5 seasons and their death don't have as much impact

Or maybe Flint is the yin to Daisy's yang and whatever she tried to do that backfired in the past involving the gravitonium needs Flint to balance the plan

Remember whatever Robbie's uncle was doing was fucking with the bedrock. I think that is where this is going

Good episode. What Fitz said in that flashback seems to confirm the stable time loop paradox. There's never been a timeline in which the time travel and apocalypse shenanigans didn't happen. Question is what's actually gonna cause a change this time around?

Finished the episode probably 15 minutes ago. The chick who play older young robin in the flashback is the same chick who play Ava Augie's friend/girlfriend in Girl Meets World if I'm not mistaken. Crazy episodes with the flashback in general and saying things that's happening in the present. Man can't wait till next episode.

Isn't next week the last one before the STUPID OLYMPICS break?

EDIT: I just checked and I think there are two more before the break.

Okay, the synopsis for this episode was this:
Coulson and the team discover that the most unexpected person from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s past may hold the key to stopping Earth's destruction.
So, umm....how the fuck is Robin "the most unexpected person from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s past"? We already knew she played a role in the episode just from last weeks ending. Not to mention that the character was already revealed as the reason for them time traveling. It's literally the least surprising character to appear in this episode outside of the main cast.

Good episode otherwise, but I just was waiting for some blast from the past and never got it.

Well, they didn't expect to see her.
Just doesn't seem like the "most unexpected person from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s past". They at least would be reminded who she was considering she helped Fitz go to the future. It's not like anyone else from the present should be expected to still be alive.

Now if you were to tell me it was Ward or Lincoln or Ward or Tripp or Ward, then I think that'd be a bit more unexpected person from their past than the girl they talked about before leaving the lighthouse.

Cause these descriptions are put out weeks in advance and they don't want to spoil the end of last week.

For example, the synopsis of episode 6 was "With Daisy's life on the line, an unexpected friend attempts to rescue her." Fitz was revealed at the end of episode 4, but they couldn't give that away in their press releases.

Okay, that's admittedly a good reason. I'm still mad about no Ward, but at least I can make sense out of it being done weeks in advance.

Data realizing he should take Commander Riker's suggestion instead of his own.

My theory is that the stable time loop existed as long as Robin was alive -- because she was linked from both ends.

Is it really that much to ask for Coulson to ask someone why the Avengers didn't stop the end of the world? Or that we see Stark, Hammer, Roxxon, AIM, or any other Marvel tech/construction stuff in the scraps? I get less and less interested in the show the further they stray away from the Marvel universe. I don't need to see Cap show up, but you can't tell me Coulson wouldn't even bring that up?

Alright, so here's my theory. Flint can help get them back, but that doesn't prevent the time loop. Who's the one person that can for sure prevent the future from happening? Daisy. Daisy is going to either stay in the future, or sacrifice herself to prevent it.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

What if she just keeps her ability inhibitor active the rest of her life?

If these people thought Robin was a handful, Jennifer Goines would drive them crazy. It wouldn't have taken 70 years for someone to shank her.

Also, I still don't buy that Daisy broke the world. The reason they're stuck in a loop is because they all bought into it and are reacting to false information.
