AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Gets A New Season 4 Timeslot; Plus Another Clip From Tonight's Season Finale

@DarkeyeZ - well are views don't matter either only the select Nielson households

@tugboy - The sales of "Coulson Death Hand" have not been what they were expecting.

@marvelstudios - Ratings have consistently plummeted since S1E1. Season 4 is mercy, ABC tryna get that syndication $$$$$$

@LEVITIKUZ -

You should be happy as you can be! The show has been dragging on and didn't know what it was doing. Now it's sort of in it's stride and everything is at a point, where it closes up fairly well. IF the writers do things right that is...

First Ward is this Captain America/Hawkeye type that is just boring. NOT because the writers new he was Hydra, but because the writers of this show don't know what they're going to do with the characters from season to season. The show is beholden to the movies and so therefore, ANYTHING could change the very next season.

So then we find out he is Hydra, but they still want to make him sympathetic. So they had this weird scene where he tries to save Fitz and Simmons even though he's bad. Him being bad but wanting to be good didn't really work, so they gave Fitz brain damage. And Fitz just kind of got over that. Because, you know....suspension of disbelief.

So we see Ward murder more people but have some kind of weird love of Daisy. He flirted with her before, sure, but he was never in love with her. He even slept with May. Well, the confused writers tried to make that misstep make sense, too, as they explain he did that to earn the team's trust. WHAT?! He already had their trust. Bad writing is bad.

So I think fans began to call them on their shit and so the writers are like "Fine, let's have Ward move on and fall in love with someone else." BUT WAIT this show is actually secretly about Ward and Daisy even though it's supposed to be about Coulson's experiences in SHIELD. So of course that lady gets killed. And then, eventually so does Ward. Leading to this alien using whatever latent feelings that Daisy had for Ward to use her for things. BUT because the writers are lazy and terrible, of course they will end up saying that Ward loved Daisy SOOO much, -that- is why Hive had Daisy so close. Because Ward's the bad guy and Daisy would be tainted if they say she was turned on by him. Whatever, we have all of Season 4 to have Daisy admit that to Lincoln or blame Ward.

BUT ALL OF THAT would be fine, if they finish this story right. Kill off Coulson, get rid of May and have Samuel L. Jackson take SHIELD back. He'll stay secret this time, taking a cue from Captain America, and just sort of watch the world. Only acting when it's absolutely necessary. But this time, he'll have "special people" on staff. Daisy's Secret Warriors and implying people like Carol Danvers. Maybe say something like "there's a kid from Queens that I don't want Stark polluting the mind of.."

That way, the series ends without any plotholes in the MCU. Coulson stays dead in the MCU, SHIELD is still "disbanded" as far as anyone knows, and there is no "Hive".

@Zer0squad - I have no clue because you're a fanboy of a shittily written show? That makes sense. "All the clues were there, it's such a great show" Whatever, so is Gotham, can't wait for Harley Quinn to show up and be older than Bruce.

@PantherKing - I really enjoyed Season 1 and 2 of AoS. I haven't gotten the chance to watch Season 3 as I'll probably wait until Netflix. Not hating on the show, just think it's an odd decision on ABC's part that can result in cancellation.

@Melkac - I mean, if I have to be honest I don't since Netflix shows are 1000x better than this from what I've seen...

@tugboy - No, but it definitely helps
