Fitz executive action'd out the correct choice, it's just that the right thing was also godawful on a moral level.

Mostly because there are posts suggesting that what Fitz did was irredeemable, or was, in some way, worse than what Daisy has done in the past.
He's been getting kicked around for four seasons. Every time he comes in acting like he's cool and tough and he's got it together, and then somebody eventually slaps the shit out of him and he has to walk it back. He's Turk Barrett in a uniform, just not quite as stupid.
Can I just point out how funny it was that Hale wanted to go to space, and based on what we learned in S3, Hydra funded and created NASA?
I've realized I really need to rewatch S3, because it's my least favorite season. Time to reevaluate my opinion. Right now it's:
S4
S2
S1
S3
The only reason they get a pass is because they saved Jemma.

Going to Maveth was incredibly reckless though. They had no idea what they'd find or get. Hell the only other group going there was Hydra, and they were going because they were looking for their ancient-god-possibly-superweapon.

Finished Season 2, midway through Season 3! The entire ride of finding Cal, then the Afterlife, Ja Ying, the inhuman plot, and everything was one hell of a ride. Then Season 3 comes along with Lash, and its now cemented as my favorite Scifi show ever. Move over Babylon 5, Stargate, etc your king has arrived. Like Supernatural which has become THE serialized procedural monster show(like Buffy, Charmed, Angel, etc) Agents of Shield is easily THE Sci Fi to end Sci Fi. Alien underground cities, Portal Stones in ancient English Castles, this fucking wild ride got wilder And yeah, Lash, whooooooo boy.

Season 3 was just kinda rough all around. Ward and the monolith were great, but the rest of the first half was just relationship power hour (seriously, why did everyone have a love interest??). And then the second was just kinda meh except for the one episode where everyone was trying to figure out which inhuman was swayed.

My problem was the emphasis on relationships and couplings, but also Daisy. See, I remember throughout S2 there was a lot of complaining about Daisy being a "Mary Sue." Everyone loves her, she's good at everything, now she has superpowers, it's ridiculous! But I didn't buy into that too much.
S3 comes along though and boooooooy howdy. The moment where
it's revealed that Lash's purpose was to save Daisy, is the biggest load of shit ever. The show lost me a bit at this point. Everything was all about Daisy and I was like "the fuck did this chick become a messiah?" S4 was a rough start for me because of it (not too rough).
The show's gotten much better about it, with her becoming part of an ensemble again and not the focus of everyone's love and attention, but damn S3 was really bad about that.
I always interpreted that Lash moment to be that he existed to
also at this point "Mary Sue" is just being used as a synonym for "any female protagonist", and I kind of hate it
be a hard counter to Hive, rather than to save Daisy specifically. I never thought they were positioning Daisy as some savior, especially when she then went and begged for Hive to take her back

The first half of season 3 is fantastic and sits alongside season 2.
It's the second half where it falters a bit. It's still quite good, especially in the last string of episodes, so it's not like it falls back to "first half of season 1" levels. But the Hive stuff didn't work fully.

Yeah that is definitely the implication.
And that's why he goes around killing all the Inhumans so there would be less for Hive to control
I thought that worked really well actually. It made sense to me that two people with those personalities would be drawn to each other.
And it led to one of my favorite lines in the series, so it was worth it.
But the thing is that
he was destroying Hive directly. I feel like he could have killed Hive right there and then, and Hive would no longer have control of Daisy. Two birds, one stone. But then Lincoln explains that Lash's purpose is to save Daisy, because he stops to save Daisy. So it just made for a momenf where I was like "man they are really pushing Daisy as the chosen one."
I mean, maybe Andrew gained some control back, though they made it pretty apparent that Andrew was gone.

But that's why I need to re-watch it. I may reinterpret some stuff.
Just saw the first episode of the new season. It was ok but Mac is once again killin' me. The first season he was in he was fine but for a long time now he has been a terrible actor. The dialogue he is given is awful and to really put it home he overacts in every single scene I legit can't stand his character.
He's got one million people tuning in every week to watch Coulson die a slow painful death. This pleases me greatly.
I still stand by there being tension between Fitz and Mack back in S2
I'm hip
I'm hip
And I will never get that. Mack was a bro who gave Fitz support that no one else would or could. After learning about Mack's relationship with his brother, it's not hard to see that he may have been projecting those feelings onto Fitz.
Having season 5 Iian pretend to be season 1 Fitz in a flashback would be hilariously distracting.
