I’ve enjoyed the finale so far...but it’s a huge let down the only return we’ve got was Victoria Hand.

That Fitzsimmons surprise was pleasant.

Am I the only one that for a hot second that... {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Fitz was in the Quantum Realm inside the inhibitor in Simmons' neck before they said his mind couldn't handle it?

Kind of a bittersweet ending, but with seemingly a bigger focus on the “sweet” aspect.

Thought it was a good finale. Little disappointing about one thing. Don’t wanna say if some west coasters haven’t seen

Enjoyed it.... but I was really hoping, somehow, for a Fury cameo. Nice to see Lola again.

Nice of them to set up a possible MCU future for Daisy, Sousa and Kora...not that they didn’t set them all up but it looks like they’re attaching them to a big part of the MCU’s future... {Spoiler}...because there’s no way they’re not Agents of SWORD.

I’m honestly happy they didn’t kill off one of those characters to give Daisy more trauma. Girl deserves a happy ending. They all do.

So good finale over-all, but I was really bummed that Brett Dalton didn't put in an appearance in this last season. I was honestly expecting at the end for them to cut back to the timeline that Deke stayed in and see an older Deke in an office, running SHIELD, wearing an eye patch (not because he needed it, but simply because he felt it completed the look), then Ward comes walking in saying something like "waiting for my next assignment boss".
Of course Victoria Hand returns instead. Because of all the characters that have come and gone over the last seven seasons, the one that needed to return is the worst SHIELD agent ever.
Oh well, at least Piper got some closure.
Can someone explain to me Kora's powers? For most of the season they seemed to be rather generic explodey powers, but in the finale she can somehow amplify transmissions and resurrect the dead? What am I missing here?
And what did everybody think of Daisy and Sousa becoming a couple? I gotta be honest I wasn't feeling it. It felt rushed and their chemistry was dodgy at best. Then again this show seems to run on dodgy romantic chemistry.

My wife was a fan of it too and she couldn’t stand Daisy’s ass by the time season 4 rolled around. My biggest question now is...so during the Season 5 finale...the Black Order’s assault on New York was happening. The writers tried to dance around their inability to properly write around Avengers 3 and 4 by saying it happened pre-snap...which is freaking impossible since Season 6 took place one year after Season 5. That makes things more impossible because no one acknowledges the Snap happened. The ending to Season 7 jumps another year in the future which means they currently should be in the middle between Infinity War and Endgame. My biggest guess to make sense of this mess...is that since Fitz and Simmons figures out how to properly use the quantum realm...maybe they jumped to when the event actually happens in the mainstream MCU allowing them to ignore the Snap.

What am I missing here? Seems like her powers are purely energy based, but under extreme duress she just gets explodey. As far as the transmission goes, she didn't personally amplify it so much as supercharge the spaceship that was sending out the transmission. As for "resurrecting the dead", saw her attempt to transfer her energy to Jiaying, which implies it's something she's done before.

That said, I assume resuscitating someone floating in outer space is a hell of a lot more easier than trying to bring someone whose neck got snapped.

It’s like they had much more ambitious plans for the finale but blew all of the budget on Quantum Zone footage.
“We’re gonna have a huge ass battle and all of the missing agents will be there and Deathlok and Ghost Rider and...”
“Can’t do it. We’re over budget.”
“f***. Fine. They’ll beat the Chronicoms with a f***ing Care Bear Stare. Whatever.”

Also to throw it out there...the show heads confirmed they had plans...and permission...to use MODOK before higher ups changed their minds and wouldn’t let them. That could explain Season 4 with the Russian that people thought would be a form of MODOK.

Despite how some may feel about the finale and what it did and didn’t do, I’m just astonished that this was the one Marvel TV show that actually got to end on its own terms rather than getting cancelled and left on a frustrating cliffhanger. And it’s rather fitting that this is the show that ends Marvel TV before Marvel Studios takes it over.

I'm more astonished that this was the one Mutant Enemy show (not counting Dollhouse, which didn't even get a Serenity-style wrap-up film) that didn't have any big losses in the final battle. In fact, it might be the most straight up happy ending I've seen from a Whedon project.

Might also be the one MCU-adjacent project with an overt “good guys win, everyone lives, and everyone’s happy” ending. Most MCU films or shows tend to have bittersweet endings.

They wrapped it with the good guys winning...but totally killed Coulson off and I swear they did it to spite the movie guys. Oh. And Fitz was dead. Considering at the time there was no planned Season 6 they left us with two dead agents.
