What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

As preparation for the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. finale tonight, watch the Honest Trailer! It's pretty entertaining.

I'm behind, I gotta ask: Lincoln?

Yep.

Honestly, they could have flipped a coin and I'd have been happy with whichever one flew the quinjet off to go kablooey in orbit. I don't think anything can make me a Skye/Daisy fan at this point.

The bomb wasn't nuclear, was it? Are we sure that none of the Hive nanoparasites could survive?

I'm curious as to what Daisy's going to do next season. And did Phil refer to someone else as Director? I like having the mad scientist sticking around.

And Fitz and Gemma still trying to organize surprises for each other.

It was a nice touch for Hive to be a little accepting of dying. Like maybe he'd like to rest.

You know, I was really annoyed at Daisy making Lincoln's sacrifice all about her. "I can't handle this, I can't deal with it!"

In this television season that's been particularly horrible to marginalized characters, I'm glad they killed off the straight white dude! (Two of them, in fact.)

I mean, like you said, it also means we don't really care, but I cared more because Daisy cared. Chloe Bennett gave me tiny feelings.

Very interested to see what happens next season. Nice teasers there.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I haven't watched yet, but I had to spoil myself because people on Twitter were saying things like they'd never cried so hard for a tv show before, and I started to get worried about who died.

...because of Lincoln? I really have missed a lot in the last couple of months. I didn't think he could possibly become a character people would be sad to see go.

(I was looking for something online last night about Agents of SHIELD, and -- when did John Hannah join the cast? I love him. That might have gotten me to watch the rest of the episodes sooner.)

Oh, interesting tidbit: I read on iO9 that next season, Agents of SHIELD is moving to the 10:00 slot so they have more freedom in the level of violence and dark shit that can actually be shown onscreen. Interesting choice.
