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!"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Thank god they killed off the character nobody cares about.
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.

Teppy, I don't know, but it made me worry about FitzSimmons.

Lincoln HAS become a better character, but not, like, cry-to-see-him-go better.
when did John Hannah join the cast? I love him.
Oh my, you ARE behind. He's been fun, yeah.

I wonder if they'll be able to get Bobbi and Hunter back (I like Hunter).
I bet May is pissed that Daisy went off the farm, especially after that "I made you" bit. I will admit, I was hoping Daisy would be the one to go. I'll accept that Hive screwed up her brain chemistry, but her "Only I can fix it, everything is my fault, how can you expect me to deal with this, how dare you try to save me?" thing got real old real fast.
I will miss Ward, good operatic villains are rare.

I'm somewhat less thrilled that they turned their Latino gay dude into an Alpha Primitive mook, so not a total win for diversity, though I'm glad the signs pointing to Yo-Yo buying the farm in orbit were red herrings.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Being trolled by the writers for almost two hours was rather exhausting.
Won't miss Lincoln, though. Skye Daisy making it all about her made me really want her to join him. Soooo tired of her Special Snowflake-ness.
And thank God my science babies are safe!!
