Its all coming together
Spoiler!
I hate to keep preaching on inevitability in this story line, but it looks almost like everything is coming together for the end of everything, and its all linked
Thanos and his attack on earth
The destroyer of worlds
Kassius taking over the human race for the Kree
Coulson's death.
We're grinding towards the inevitability of the seasons end of Shield and one thing is certain, even if they do manage to stop the destruction of earth, one thing is becoming clear, that this team is completely broken.
The character dynamics have completely shifted to resentment at each other and a strong lack of trust. Simmons and Fitz aren't trusting each other. Mack, YoYo and Daisy have had a real falling out, in fact the only two people that seem to be on the same page are Daisy and Deke as witnessed by the pile of lemons on her bunk.
It was fascinating to see Talbot who has been excellent in this season going fro genuinely wanting to fix everything to a madman in the span of an hour, but its clear that Talbot's damaged mind, combined with the damaged minds of Dr Hall and Ian Quinn and possibly the alien that he absorbed have made him incredibly powerful and unbalanced and a little gullible as Kassius basically made him a deal to get more Gravitonium from beneath the earths surface to increase his power.
One thing that's clear is that Talbot or Graviton is now one of the most powerful individuals on the planet as he shrugged off Daisy's power and crushed people into small balls (RIP General Hale) with the wave of a hand. Its doubtful that he could stand up to Thanos and sadly we'll never see that confrontation, but right now he's more of then a match for anyone on this show, and they're angling that Talbot will ultimately be the destroyer of worlds.
As for General Hale, she in the end was another broken and bitter character mourning over the death of her daughter, but still maybe over secure in her grasp of the situation, but Talbot saw right through her deception and killed her in an incredibly gruesome and bloody way.
Meanwhile Simmons is trying to pull the DNA from Daisy's mom to combine with the Caterpillar device (Remember that) to save Coulson's life, but it might be all for not, remember inevitability.
At the same time poor Yo Yo is now the social outcast of the family, getting into a drag out fight with Daisy, and basically being told by May to get with the program or get to stepping.
Now things look incredibly grim.
Daisy with Kassius
Talbot right off the reservation
The team on earth pretty much splintered.
Thanos attacking the world
And Talbot wanting all the Gravitonium.
Yup, its pretty clear that the writers of Shield have hedged their bets in terms of cancellation, because I don't know how there's any way that more then one member of this team won't die. I'm looking at you Yo Yo, Mack and Deke.
Even if the show is renewed, there's no way next season starts with this team together, this season has been too traumatic and too disruptive for it to survive.
Random notes
- The awkward high five attempt between Fitz and Deke and Deke's retort "Come on man, you're better then that"
- Talbot declaring himself as Earth's mightiest hero
- Lemon's on the bed, great track of a running joke
- Deke - "What's in the bag"
Daisy - "My mom"
- I love the dialogue on this show
- Coulson liking Talbot's new look reminded me of him talking to Captain America about his uniform in the Avengers.
- Mack telling Fitz that he needs to fix himself. Its a reverse of when they first started working together and Mack tried to fix Fitz after his injuries
- The Shield space shot effect was cool especially when they hit orbit and banked over the earth.
- Two episodes left.
