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

...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.
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.
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.
Iiiiiinteresting.

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.

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'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!!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm so glad Mac is safe. And, yeah, John Hannah might be fun to keep around. And of course Agent May is ok, which would have been a deal-breaker for me, but I was never really worried about her being the one to die.
I will take a moment to mourn the evil coat of evilly swooping evil.

Overall, I enjoyed this season, but I got real tired of it being the Daisy of SHIELD show instead of the Agents of SHIELD. And the Dark Willow plotline. I feel like Jed and Marissa are regurgitating season 6 of Buffy. And while I enjoyed that on Buffy, it made me yawn through the last 3-4 episodes. Kree!Summers' blood! Hive sway is addictive! Blahblahblah. I will admit to crying with Chloe Bennett because she gives good cry face, but not for the writing: trite, overblown and derivative. I won't miss Lincoln (I like Yo-yo much better), but I will miss Hive; all he needed was leather pants to make him perfect.
edited to fix actor (Luke) vs. character name (Lincoln)

Wait wait, I missed that!! He got gassed?? I didn't even know he was there.

SAME. I like her a lot.

I wonder if they're changing focus because the Inhumans movie got backburnered. Which works for me. I would like some focus on other people--like Phil! And Gemma and Fitz! Fitz took down the Iron Chef Chairman without hesitation with an invisible gun! Go Fitz! How those two have changed.
I found myself wishing Hive and Phil could have had a conversation where the fate of the earth wasn't involved.
And yes, the coat should be mourned. Good evil coats deserve it.

THIS.
I was actually thinking this morning, "wait, 'Fallen Agent'? Lincoln wasn't even an agent." So "Fallen Agent" probably refers instead to Daisy going all dark and uggggghhhhhh do not want.
Every time John Hannah is onscreen my brain goes to an Alias place. He's already brainwashed! To be a murderer for hire!
