Next seasons should be interesting on how they set Quake as the de facto main character.
Would love for Hunter and Mockingbird to come back.

That was good stuff. I hope they don't bring Coulson back. That was about as perfect of a sendoff as you can get for the character.

I'm so confused on whether or not Fitz died.

The Fitz who experienced the second half of the season died, but in the show's present there's the frozen Fitz in space who doesn't know about Deke or the wedding or any of it yet.

Now that they know time can be changed, they can pull him out of it, since the world didn't blow up. I think the logic is that they had to leave him on ice until after the future changed.

Because in this timeline Frozen Fitz hasn't woken up yet and traveled back to the present day, he's just chilling in space. When Dead Fitz traveled back with the rest of the team, he didn't replace Frozen Fitz, there were just now two Fitzs.

Just like when the team other than Fitz originally traveled forward through time, they didn't replace their (long dead) old selves. That biological matter was present, as seen with Yo-Yo.

The rest of the team jumped to the future the "short way," by instant teleportation. Fitz had to sleep 100 years to go the the future "the long way", so right now he is still sleeping. Just because he woke up 100 year after he slept does not erase the fact that he slept.If you sleep at night, you've alway slept at night, just cause you woke up dose not mean you have not slept.

Fitz then existed in the future, and the whole team went back to the present "the short way" (teleportation), which means Fitz jumps back to a point where he already exists, as is in the process of sleeping 100 years to get the the future "the long way."

The unique way Fitz chose to reach the future combined with the normal way he returned to the present resulted in two Fitz existing in the current timeline. The is no way for Fitz to get to the future without sleeping. He has to sleep to get to the future, so he has to exist to get there.

Think of it this way: if I gave you a time machine and you went back in time 5 years, when you step out of the time machine there will be 2 yous. One 5 year younger you doing whatever you were doing then (Fitz in cryogenic sleep), and one current age you who decided to visit the past (dead Fitz).

When they traveled back in time, they are actually jumping into a different but earlier timeline (which explains why there will be 2 Fitz), rather than jumping back into their own timeline.
I get it now, thanks for the explanation everyone, much appreciated.

So Fitz slept through 100 years, woke up in the future, went back in time with the group, and since they are back in present day, there's still frozen Fitz out there going to the future. So if we say hypothetically Fitz went back to present day through another 100 years, there wouldn't be another Fitz, since the one who slept through a 100 years in the first place went back in time. But because he went back in time through the monolith there's still a frozen Fitz out in space.

Can they go and get frozen Fitz? If they do doesn't they mean he never showed up in the future to help them and messes everything up ? Time travel makes my head hurt at times

They broke the loop, so Jemma pretty much said fuck it, might as well try, it'll correct itself somehow, etc. etc.

They broke the loop, the world didn't get destroyed, so Frozen Fitz doesn't need to wake up in 2090 to then go back in time to help break the loop.

Now, if they didn't break the loop, Dead Fitz survives Chicago, dies at some point before 2090 at which point Frozen Fitz wakes up again and on and on.

But time travel is weird.

Yeah and even if it's a causal loop, as long as they don't break the hibernation chamber to do it, they can fix it even more efficiently now by waking fitz and telling him everything clearly and, for example, not letting Talbot get activated by Hydra.

It's not speed force bad but yeah its definitely weird.

With getting frozen Fitz back, we will also probably get Enoch back too!

That future ceased to exists anyway when they managed to prevent the world from shattering by defeating Graviton in the end, so pulling Fitz out of the stasis pod won't be a problem

With a shortened season, and a lot of season 5 set in space, do you guys think we'll actually see the team look for and find Fitz?

Or should they time jump the season with him already back on the team?

That was a good episode. It was obvious that they meant it as a series finale.

Nice effects, even if the fight was kinda short.

The moment Fitz died my sister was like "noooo" and I was like "they've got a spare it's fine".

Was pretty disappointed with the final fight with talbot, quite underwhelming! I know they don't have a lot of budget, but still!

Otherwise the episode was nice, wish we would have an other reference to avengers

Would've been more awkward if Fitz didn't die I guess because then you still have to get frozen Fitz out of there, but then you end up with two of them...

Honestly that sounds exactly like what I think the plot will be, but I still don't understand why they can't do that same plot but have the show premiere after Avengers 4?

Finding Fitz shouldn't be easy, since Enoch had to hide him somewhere no one would find him for 90 years. I doubt he is just floating in Earth's orbit. Enoch could be in "sleep" mode and not know that the time loop was broken.

They actually established in the show that Enoch is awake and making sure that Fitz' reputation is strong when he awakens so he can get into Kasius' inner circle.

SHIELD plotlines always move quickly, so I expect Fitz to be resolved in one or two episodes before some new threat emerges.

I mean, they could. Nothing stops them from doing that. But the impact is lessened a bit, to me, personally.

We'll already know exactly how it ends up being resolved in A4. While we know it will be resolved, we don't know how until Avengers 4.

I wouldn't be angry but it makes more sense if they line up together.

My main point against that is that I think, and this is having not read any Avengers 4 spoilers yet, is that Avengers 4 may feature some radical things possibly even with SHIELD immediately following Avengers 3 and that having Agents of SHIELD air before Avengers 4 is out may "spoil" what happens to the world after.

Forgot about that. In that case, it does make sense for him to just bring him back or they'll have to come up with a reason for Enoch to not know or someone else find them first, if they want a "search for Fitz" episode or arc.

I was just re-watching this, and noticed a particular part of the episode that kinda explains what was different with this timeline. I know some have had a difficult time trying to decipher what exactly changed the events in time.

During the scene where Daisy gives off control of Shield to Mack, Coulson makes an appearance and states that Yo-Yo "didn't go through that for nothing", which confirms that Yo-Yo debating about letting Coulson die is the reason that he sneaks the centipede serum into Daisy's gauntlets instead of taking it himself. He even hands Daisy the gauntlets right after saying that. So the difference is that Yo-Yo convinced Coulson to not take it because he believes it'll doom humanity, so he hides them on Daisy with the expectation that she uses it. It was not because a character injected it into him when he was unconscious or anything like that.


Also, while Mack really ticked me off this season with how he behaved with the whole Ruby situation, his actor (Henry Simmons) killed it in the scene where Fitz dies. Of course he plays second fiddle to Ian (the best actor on the show bar none), but it's not easy to portray the level of sadness that Mack had during that moment, while simultaneously acting as if nothing is wrong as to not worry Fitz. It's a fine line and Henry played it perfectly.


I'm going to miss this show a hell of a lot for the next year, but look forward to being a part of the re-watch group here. I also have a couple groups on Youtube who I've been watching react to season 1, and it's nice to re-live it a bit through their eyes.

Between last season and this final, i think it's safe to say that the screenwriters team as a hard-on for the Matrix movies. Cuz' it's not subtile references we see here.

Not that i complain.

It felt more anime than Matrix - but the best parts of the Matrix were influenced by anime I guess. Launching Talbot into space of a Vegeta move.

I think I'd trust this VFX team and writers with live-action Dragonball (with a big budget - x10 what we have now probably). They would do good work.
