[CaptainCrunch]

Really enjoyed tonights episode as we are heading towards the end of the season with 5 episodes left

Spoiler!

We finally learned who the big bad was this year after meeting her last week. as Izel the captain of the ship transporting Fitz Simmons home is a inter-dimensional god who is after the monoliths, she was a Mayan godess in earths ancient history.


Basically we found out why the Shrikes emit crystal's when they die and that they die around each other. Basically they're construction material for a massive tower in the middle of the desert and when Izel arrives at the tower it will unleash billions of Shrikes that will destroy the planet.



We also had a faint hope that Sarge was going to be a hero, and he kind of is in that he's out for revenge for the death of his family and is chasing Izel across the universe. Unfortunately his plan is to blow up a monstrous bomb that will leave a 200 mile crater to kill her. So, yes he wants to kill her and save the planet, well part of the planet. Does anyone think that this could be an actual world destroying event similar to the one that Shield prevented last year, which goes back to the whole idea that you can't alter the timeline as it will always snap back to where its supposed to go?


The funny thing is the similarity of Sarge and Izel. Izel has told Fitz and Simmons that she merely wants to recover the monoliths and her mission is benign, but clearly she's not on the up and up as she's infected her whole crew with Shrikes. Meanwhile Sarge sold Shield that he wants to save the planet, but he was clearly not on the up and up.


Random thought - The portal usage by Coulson was uber cool to watch.


Even though Sarge is not Coulson he has the same kind of wry wit.



Out of Sarge's clue snowflake is just awesome and I hope they find a way to keep her. The seduction of Deke was well done as were the reactions by Daisy and May.


Simmons doesn't get that this Fitz is not the Fitz that she married, so her talking about her wedding night and the sacrifice by the other Fitz to this one is almost really cruel.
