dammit, my DVR is on the fritz. And the live channel is stuck on NBC 
[TV] S.H.I.E.L.D.

Good season cap... and a very interesting setup for next season. I will continue to watch when it returns, and I hope they can keep the momentum going.
Loved that Coulson got his gun back and I am happy they didn't redeem Ward... he needs to hook up with Flowers....she got a whole High Evolutionary thing going on and he is an awesome henchman.

I didn't think that was so surprising, but maybe that's because it felt so very Whedon-esque.
Also: Dammit Tumblr, shut the hell up about how "It's sexist how Maria Hill wasn't
made director of SHEILD... Coulson is awesome, Maria Hill has only been a guest character, and she's explicitly said that she doesn't want the job, and is happy working for Stark.

INHUMANITY[DOUBLEPOST=1400083923,1400083868][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, Ward = Taskmaster.
He's a damn good fit for it, and the show. His abilities wouldn't be hard to put on screen with a TV budget, but the name is horrible.
I think Ward might make a good recurring villain. He's been inside S.H.I.E.L.D., so he'll always have some insight on the other agents. Also, loved the end with Garrett. Game over (again), man!
I'll admit I missed a bunch of episodes, but do we know who's that supposed to be at the very end? (Skye's very drippy father, I mean.)

I think it'd be a fun name to slowly weasel into the show's dialogue.
"He can master any task given to him."
"He's a bit of a task master."[DOUBLEPOST=1400085694,1400085654][/DOUBLEPOST]
He has to be an inhuman.
Jesus fuck no, Ward would be an awful Taskmaster. TM's got a sense of humor (he has to with how often he's around Deadpool), Ward is more like a broken toy now that nobody's giving him orders. TM's also all about the money, he's a mercenary. I kind of hope he's just put away for awhile. His replacement on the team needs to go, though, he's an awful actor.
Some fantastic bits in the finale, though.
So now the questions are
Some fantastic bits in the finale, though.
The nailgun use in the Ward/May fight, Coulson's "I know what it does," Mike's release from Garrett, that almost-return of Garrett
So now the questions are
is Fitz okay? Is that really Kree writing (and perhaps it was a hint that the GotG trailer played right before the final shot of Coulson writing on the wall?). Is Skye an Inhuman? Current rumors speculate the father is Black Bolt's brother, Maximus, I think his name is.
To be fair we haven't met the real Ward yet. He's been who he had to be to both Garrett and the team.
My guess is both Raina and Skye are Inhuman, along with Skyes father who's body possibly became disfigured when his powers activated. This might also be why Raina was so interested in knowing what she becomes. She wants to know if she'll end up with some sort of disfigurement also.

This.
Also, he was giving some quips since his turn and I can see him getting a rather bitter and dark sense of humor with a raspy voice.
Oh, A theory I saw that was pretty interesting....
Here's the writing from Eye Spy:
Here's Garret's writing:
Now here's Coulson's:

My theory is that it's the formula to the Terrigen Mists, considering the possible Kree origins and the fact that the InHuman's are going to be the MCU mutants.
Wow, i totally forgot about the fact that
If she is one she shouldn't care, their society is fine with it.
Unless they're mixing them with the Eternals and Deviants for the show... i hope not, their society is way more interesting as in the comics imo.
the Kree created the Inhumans... that explains how Skye can look human and have "monsters" for parents.

She's most likely not a part of their society, just like Skye. So it might matter to her. Or she's just curious.
Yeah, that's kinda what i was trying to imply, that she's not asking because of what you said, but because she wants to know faster...
Which is a great idea when you think about it. Honestly the last thing I want getting dragged into the MCU is the whole "racial discrimination" plots that thrive in the X-Men continuity between humans and mutants. The Inhumans never really had that problem since they have existed as long as humans.
Likely in a coma.
The alien that they were taking blood from for the serum was a Kree.

Makes sense, they're supposedly introducing the Kree in GotG.
It makes even more sense when you think about what Coulson and Garrett were doing, and might even have ties to Skye.
Garrett made a lot of mentions how he could see the universe and had trouble holding all the info into his brain, and Raina even said he was "connected" now.
Coulson confirmed that he has his own "connection" when he drew on the walls at the end of the finale. What if, due to the Kree blood, the two had formed a connection with the Supreme Intelligence? Would explain why the old test subjects went mad. They wouldn't be able to handle such raw information feeding into them. It could be that the reason Coulson didn't go crazy is that the brain wipe allowed the information to absorb into him gradually, rather then all at once.
As for why Skye is not having that issue, well we all know the popular theory now is that Skye is an Inhuman. If my comic knowledge is still good, the Inhumans were created by experiments done by the Kree a very long time ago. As such, her body evolved a familiarity with the Kree genome, so she can already absorb the information easier then the average human. Probably also explains how she is some super-master hacker.

If I remember correctly, the Inhumans were the results of Kree splicing their own DNA into the dna of protohumans millions of years ago. So yeah, Skye would have Kree dna in her, explaining why she had no side effects to the miracle drug.
This makes me wonder if in the future...
They will expose Skye to the Terrigen Mists.
They actually spliced human DNA with Eternal DNA. The Eternals were themselves early experiments on hyper evolving humanity by the Celestials. They are the basis of the legends of angels, and their enemies were the Deviants, who were also created by the Celestials and are our basis for the concept of demons.
They're Marvel's ripoff of New Genesis and Apokalypse.

Is that a newer origin?
Because as i recall they just messed around with their DNA until they where able to survive Terrigen Mist mutation.
Kirby made both, because it was a concept he really wanted to explore, but editors kept mucking it up,

That's what I think all that writing is, a formula for the Terrigen Mists.
Also, Garret even mentioned 'crawling through the mists' when he was talking all crazy to Raina.

I saw Deathlok today as one of the lackeys to the villain of "Good Burger"
I kind of hope you don't realize how rude this sounds, because it would be lame to be that rude over something like this.
Isn't the actual casting information new?
Oh I'm sorry. No rudeness intended. It's hard to convey tone via text.
Brian Patrick Wade is joining in on the second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Carl "Crusher" Creel, the Absorbing Man.
