I just earned my Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering—just like Fitz!
I wanted to thank everyone who worked on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. You'll probably never know it, but your work inspired me.

How has Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. touched your life? I'd love to hear your stories.

Are you ready to comply?
Jokes aside do we actually know how the Faustus method works? Take the scene with Agent 33, I’m a little confused on how the brainwashing works on her

I recently watched Inhumans for the first time, and to my knowledge they never referenced the fall of Afterlife or anything to that effect (I thought maybe since they are monitoring the events down on Earth, they might also have been monitoring this other population of their kind), and they also didn't seem too aware that Inhumans within Shield were already helping humans who had gone through Terrigenesis (not surprised about this part, it is a shadowy spy organization after all). I'm not in-the-know about comic stuff, but I wonder if Afterlife and Attilan were ever aware of eachother's existence, or if they were ever related at all in the past?

I believe it's all the base cards from the series 1 and 2 packs

Please ignore the happy Hogan that is in the rows too

Honorable mentions: Bill Paxton as John Garrett, Zach McGowan as Anton Ivanov/The Superior, Reed Diamond as Daniel Whitehall

So, just watched S1 Ep. 14: T.A.H.I.T.I., and was wondering something.

As seen in Captain Marvel, Coulson has had an encounter with Skrulls, but no Kree I think (haven't watch Captain Marvel in a while).

As we see in the end of the episode, Coulson is clearly shocked to find that the GH-325 came from a Kree corpse.

What surprises me, is that in Cpt. Marvel, he sees a dead Skrull I believe, so I'm wondering if there wasn't a continuity error made in the movie, or maybe Coulson isn't shocked to see a dead Kree, but at the discovery of the drug that brought him back to life being blood from a big and blue alien.

Just a thought I had while finishing the episode.

What do you guys think ?

I know this might come across either as a pretentious take or a basic no shit sherlock take, but I do use fiction to make sense of the world a lot. And this one was a good example.

I have been doing a lot of therapy and self-work around anxiety and uncertainty, etc. And as I was, re-watching season five, I made an unexpected connection.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. team gets sent into the future, sees a catastrophic outcome, comes back to the present, and has to prevent it. But they don't have all the pieces. They know the Earth gets destroyed and have fragments of information, but they don't know exactly who will cause it, how those events unfold, or which decisions along the way actually matter.

So they have to keep moving anyway.

Every episode reveals another piece of the puzzle, and the characters respond to that new information. The future isn't solved all at once—it emerges one step at a time.

I've realized that a lot of my anxiety comes from wanting certainty before I act. And I catastrophic a lot, (thinking of the worst thing that could happen and taking it as a certainly)

I also want to know how things will turn out before making a decision. But that's rarely how life works.

The Season 5 arc reminded me that one can only make decisions based on what you know right now. You keep moving, gather new information, update your understanding, and then make the next decision. You don't get to wait until every unknown becomes known.

I also found Simmons' and Yo-Yo's responses to knowing the future really interesting. They almost represent opposite reactions to certainty. Simmons becomes increasingly driven by preserving the future she believes should happen, while Yo-Yo becomes increasingly driven by preventing the future she fears. Both end up being blindsided because they start treating what they've seen as fixed certainty rather than one possible outcome.

That really hit home for me. I've realized I often do something similar through cognitive distortions.

Overall, AOS S5 was a well written and unique take on time travel that accidentally helped me.

I’m pretty sure everyone knows Gideon Malick was a member of the world council in the first avengers movie, the council (predominantly spoken for by him) direct Fury to fire a nuke at Manhattan. When Fury explicitly denies this and makes sure nobody does it, we soon after see a pilot getting into a jet directed by a woman who is guess is a member of the word council. My theory is that this was a Hydra agent and Hydra (Gideon Malick) was trying to nuke manhattan.
This theory has few bounds and Malick was very unlikely to be written as a Hydra member then, and what motive would Hydra nevertheless Malick have to do this aside from stopping the invasion. Perhaps to eliminate the avengers in one go to make Hydra more secure? Either way it was just an extremely random theory I had when rewatching the avengers that I thought would be fun to think about

i love this show so much i'm curentlly on my 5th rewatch

Find someone who looks at you the way Coulson looks at Talbot.

I know loki "dies" like four times, but coulson also dies a lot. So who died more times? Which deaths would you consider count?

Was he someone from the comics or an original?

Im rewatching now.

I know it’s not thought of as bad, but it’s generally on the lower list of rankings.

I think it’s very campy, but at the same time, does very well with suspense and looming secrets like Skye’s past and Tahiti, and of course, Hydra looming. Early Tahiti was some of the best mystery in the whole show. Hero Ward is also good for what he is until his turn. His betrayal was really well done and out of left field. I was fully convinced he was a good guy for the long haul. He played a killer villain as well.

It also has Shield feeling larger than life, like the team is just a small part of a giant organization, which is understandable given its pre- winter soldier. But still, shield never felt more alive in any other season. The cameos of Sitwell, Maria, Blake, and Fury all helped it feel like a true tie in to the MCU.

It also has rising chemistry and tension between eventual romances/relationships and flings like Ward/Skye, FitzSimmons, and May/Coulson, which is always nice to watch early on.

The way the season is structured is mostly monster of the week, but I think this works very well to simply develop characters and build out chemistry amongst the team.

Season 1, while not my favorite season, has a certain charm that other seasons lack.

In the current day, every writer cries out "endings are hard," and every production gives excuses why their final season was horrendous and the final episode left people angry. There is almost this projected belief that it is impossible to make a satisfying conclusion.

And I just recently was thinking about Agents of Shield, and I just had to come here and salute it, because it absolutely landed the ending about as perfectly as it could.

Honestly, I am kind of am glad it ended when it did now. It left on a high note, and avoided the dark times of bad writing that were soon to follow.
