Agents of Shield Season 5 Episode 22 Review
At present that Agents of S.H.I.E.50.D. has been renewed for a 6th season, this episode's title comes off slightly facetious. It is not "The End" for this evidence or this squad, only the episode does bring all of this season's plotlines to satisfying conclusions, while too setting up some pretty important missions for next flavour.
We begin where nosotros left off, with the team debating whether to utilize the final sample of Centipede Serum to salvage Coulson or defeat Talbot. Compounded with all the other divisions and debates the team has been having all season, things quickly become intense. Yo-Yo starts screaming near how no one will heed to what her future self said near sacrificing Coulson to relieve the world; Mack is eventually able to calm her down by talking about how the team volition always cling to hope to a higher place all, and suggests they have a vote on the issue. May scuttles that option, however, by destroying the odium. At present, the simply use for the Centipede Serum is to revive Coulson.
Meanwhile, Talbot is relentlessly pursuing his plan. Later learning that some of the subterranean Gravitonium lies beneath Chicago, he flies his ship into the Windy City, leveling several buildings in the process. He then continues the devastation by bringing upwards a behemothic cavalcade of rock from the ground. After absorbing the small eolith of Gravitonium.
One of the reasons Daisy and others argued so hard to relieve Coulson was that they believed him to be the only person capable of talking Talbot downward. Simply equally Coulson informs Daisy, things have moved well across that stage. With Talbot hungering for more ability even as he'south been driven insane by the power he already possesses, only Daisy is powerful enough to counter him. In true dying-mentor way, Coulson reminds Daisy that she already possesses all the tools necessary to save the earth: "Find the strength in your heart to appeal to his proficient nature. If yous tin't, observe the force in your arms to beat his ass senseless." Daisy runs off to save the day, while Coulson collapses. This stubborn homo didn't even accept the Centipede Serum; he's merely been powering this comeback through pure strength of will, and a refusal to permit down May and Daisy.
While Daisy goes to terminate Talbot, Mack and May outset evacuating people from the affected buildings. Eventually they reach ane that collided direct with Talbot's send, and find a distraught Robin Hinton inside. Her mother Polly is nevertheless trapped onboard the send, then Mack goes to get her out. But when Fitz arrives shortly after, he reminds May that neither Mack nor Polly lived to see the Lighthouse hereafter. If fourth dimension is indeed as stock-still as Fitz always says, then they might very well die in there. (Epitomize continues on adjacent folio)
Mack makes his mode through Talbot's ship, and somewhen finds Polly. Unfortunately, every bit soon every bit he gets her out of her prison cell, two Remorath assassins show upwards. Having thrown away his axe-bayonet gun merely seconds before, Mack doesn't stand a chance…then thank god May is there to kicking some alien ass and relieve her friends.
Talbot is yet looking for more Gravitonium, but the search is interrupted when Daisy hits him with a flying tackle. Per Coulson's advice, she tries the conciliatory approach first, telling Talbot that they all need to join forces in order to save the world. Talbot responds that he needs to arm himself to defeat his enemies, at which point Daisy points out that he'due south not looking too unlike from Thanos, what with the endangering innocent lives in society to find some mysterious sci-fi weapon (well, okay, Thanos and the events of Infinity War don't get any overt shout-outs this episode, but the context is conspicuously there). This commutation reminded me of a similar one between T'Challa and Killmonger at the climax of Black Panther, i of my favorite sequences from that film.
Talbot's gravity powers are stiff, and it looks similar he might indeed be powerful enough both to beat out Daisy and cause that worldwide cataclysm that sends humanity to the Lighthouse — particularly when he starts trying to absorb Daisy into his own torso via the Gravitonium, so he can employ her powers to crack the Earth open up. Merely and so Daisy herself takes the Centipede Serum, giving herself enough of a power-upwards to blast Talbot into the heaven — and so far into the sky, in fact, that he keeps going into space, where he freezes and asphyxiates to death.
Unfortunately, that's not the simply death this episode. The epic disharmonism betwixt Talbot and Daisy causes tremors throughout nearby buildings — including the ane Fitz and friends are in. Just as Mack and May return with Polly, a tremor hits and Fitz gets caught under falling debris. Mack and May succeed in unearthing him from the rubble, and for a second it seems similar everything will be fine — that is, until they encounter the gigantic piece of shrapnel stuck in Fitz's abdomen, and hear him saying he can't feel his belly. Mack promises to stay with him, and then FITZ DIES. No, really! This is the worst possible event! The wait on Simmons' face when Mack arrives to requite the news volition haunt my nightmares forever. (Recap continues on side by side folio)
The show follows this upwards with a vicious bait-and-switch. We see the S.H.I.E.L.D. team gathering for a memorial service, and carving a black memorial plaque to hang in the plane. At this point I was in shock, refusing to believe Fitz had died when he had so much keen character development this season and his relationship with Simmons is such an integral emotional anchor for the show. Information technology was presently revealed, however, that the plaque and service were both for Coulson. With no more Centipede Serum, the team leader but has a limited corporeality of fourth dimension left. He decides to spend it with May in Tahiti (where else?), while the residuum of the team carries on his legacy and takes a spaceship out to go observe Fitz.
Considering that'due south just it, isn't it! If you remember, Fitz didn't time travel to the Lighthouse future via monolith like the residual of his friends. Instead, Enoch put him in suspended animation for centuries. So that living, breathing Fitz is still out there in suspended animation, waiting for a future that has now been averted. All they have to practise is find him and wake him up, and maybe grab him up on some of the things that take happened while he'south been under — like, say, his marriage to Simmons! Simmons, for one, will exist delighted to inform him that time is not fixed in place after all, but rather "a fluid, ever-irresolute, beautiful thing."
On top of that, the team should exist grateful they made it out of this season without also much Infinity War overlap. I was honestly worried for a second that we might see one-half the bandage turn to dust at the end of this episode, just it sounds like they have plenty of problems to worry about already.
With Coulson on a mortal time limit, I wonder what Agents of S.H.I.Due east.L.D. flavour 6: The Search for Fitz might await similar. I really admired this flavour'due south willingness to change up the formula, especially with the bonkers sci-fi storytelling of the Lighthouse arc. Not everything in that sequence worked, but I liked that the filmmakers and cast were so willing to depart from the show'south status quo and do something different. In the more contempo batch of episodes, they took the exact contrary approach with multiple callbacks to the show's first 2 seasons, and I liked how many lingering story lines they were able to wrap up. This flavor had such a volume-terminate feeling to it, in fact, that it felt similar information technology really could be the last. Calling this finale "The Cease" seems like it occurred to the showrunners, too. But I think nosotros're all happy to spend more time with these agents.
