Agents Of Shield: Season 5

This season opener was just simply amazing. If the rest of the season matches this episode - we are in for a great ride. Hands down, this is the best program on television.

Just finished the second part of the opener.

Wow. That was a lot. And all of it was awesome. They’ve taken the concept of a flash forward and amped it up.

We’ve gone full sci-fi in space with a Battlestar Gallactica feel.

Shield really has climbed to the top of my list again. The new environment that they’re in, the antagonist, the effects(surprised ABC still puts that kind of money into this show), the fast pace of the story, and the fact that it continues to be very well written really has me hating the wait from week to week.

What a great show. I’ve also read that Disney has given Shield protection from cancellation too. As they should. So many great Friday shows have been axed early in the past. Good to know it won’t happen with Shield.

Yeah, I really wasn't expecting the twist that they threw on top of them being in space. May got a raw deal with the situation she "woke up" to. Did Fitz's message on Mac's postcard just mean that he was working on a way to get them back?

Agents of Shield is probably my second favorite of the comics based shows right now (The Gifted is my favorite).

i loved the season opener - and for the guy that skipped season 4 - you are insane - it was amazing.

makes me want a Ghost Rider show

AoS is my favorite show on tv. They managed to kill or send off 4 really likeable characters and I still like it.
This is going to be an interesting season. First episodes were great.

Does this season have anything to do with SWORD?

Like 0 chance, looks like another brand new story with no comic book story to follow (the mainframe story was a 100% original as well) and the mainframe story last year was my favorite AoS story arc to date

So how big is the time jump?

They mentioned the ship was built 90 years before. Assuming Quake didn't do this right away... add another 3-7 years before she screws up and maybe another 5-10 years for the damage to Earth to get as bad as it does. Probably 100 - 110 years in the future.

This could also lead Coulson into creating S.W.O.R.D. but I strongly doubt it.

I was wondering the same. Now that we know we're dealing with time travel, Fitz could already be at the station for all we know. Or maybe, as expected, he's on Earth in the past working on what happened and how to get them home. If that's the case, it doesn't look like he's showing up for a couple more weeks.

Ep.3: A Life Spent- Daisy decides she will rescue Simmons, even though she must risk everything to do so.
Ep.4: A Life Earned- Coulson and the team discover their captors' true intentions.
Ep.5: Rewind- No description yet.

Any theories on who/what that bald thing was in the beginning during the Talking Heads intro? Alien? A.I.? Has to be from the future if they sent Shield there right?

I really like Gifted but Shield and Gotham are 1 & 2 for me right now. They both share similarities with their fast paced stories, using the multiple story arc "mini-season" approach that's getting more popular, and the writers keep thing's fresh and fairly unpredictable.



Oh and BA, you're right on how far in the future they are. They're about 100 years in the future. The writers gave that estimate in an EW article.

I don't think she did. Deke is basing his belief on snippets of data. At the very least she couldn't have done it unless they are able to go back to their original time.

The time difference was a good swerve. I thought the monolith looked different but just chalked it up to someone on the creative team having fun.

BTW: I loved the team's reaction when Yoyo mentioned they might be back in the Framework

Mack was hilarious the whole premiere. His comment after they suggested to split up was the best: “that’s exactly what they say before they start getting picked off one by one, *pause* and we know who is going first”

Coulson: "Geeze Mack, how hard did you hit him?"

Mack: Are you kidding me!? I hit him as hard as I could!"
