    Yeah, most likely.

    Overall, I really liked it. Good season finale.

    I liked that they still left a lot of mysteries unresolved.
    Chances are we'll get a lot more info on Skye next season, but we still don't know anything about the source of the GH-whatever drug. We know why Coulson was resurrected, but still not really how. And as that stinger showed, that'll also probably pop up again next season.

    But yeah, Garrett's final death was hilarious, as was Agent Oswalt 2.0 [face_laugh] And woo! The Destroyer gun made a triumphant return. :D

    This would have been the perfect time to air an Agent Carter trailer at the end of this episode, given ABC officially released it's fall line - up today. What a wasted oppurtunity.

    Ok, just starting to watch the season final. As I said, just started...

    Flashback to last weeks episode, of the container thingee falling from the plane...

    I read comments online last week, that the Fitz/Simmons should be alright, because the plane was flying at low level.

    Well, seeing that scene again, it easily looks like the fell from the equivalent of six-stories building height... they should be DEAD.

    As I said, just starting to watch this, so according to Marvel comic-booky-wookie logic, they will of course 100% live.

    I think Fitz mentioned the pod deployed some safety features to keep them alive, and it broke Fitz arm so they at least acknowledged it should have likely killed them if not for 'super SHIELD-tech'

    "I know what it does." :cool:

    So much to digest from this. That last scene with Garrett was great! [face_laugh]

    Fury's arrival made me cheer- mostly because I lost count of how many episodes were left in the season and didn't know if this was the finale or not.

    The noisemaker is my favorite new old toy as well [face_laugh]. I want that as a ring tone.

    May unleashing the Asgard staff was also an awesome visual.

    Peterson got his moment too- when he fires on Garrett- oof. "He learned something.".

    And, of course, Agent Koeing returns! I know they're playing it a little coy by making it possible he's a twin or clone or something but the programmed-like greetings and reactions screams LMD to me. That's fantastic!

    The show they haven't started filming yet? What would the trailer show? A cut-down montage of the footage from the AC One-Shot that we've already seen? It'd be a waste.

    This episode was excellent on so many levels. I laughed so hard when Coulson fired on Garrett. He was like a kid looking for a lost toy: "I found it!" [face_rofl]

    May unleashing 90% of her rage on Ward was awesome, though the set was pretty dark, so we didn't see a lot of the details. I loved Skye's line: "You slept with her, and she's really pissed off." Chloe nailed that moment perfectly.

    Paton Oswalt's return was a huge surprise, and he was a little robotic...but then, the guy's always seemed that way to me. I was surprised Coulson spared Ward's life, and Raina meeting with Skye's father gave me chills.

    Also some good news for the series: Season 2 will be moving the show to 9PM. Apparently this is a result of a spike in the ratings from a couple weeks ago when they ran the previous week's episode at 8 followed by the new episode at 9 (though they're not double-airing the show that way in the fall, just the new ep at 9), which got the new episode out of the way of NCIS.

    I wonder if Agent Koenig's resurrection was the Whedons' little 'wink to the audience' in - joke to all the 'Couslon is an LMD' speculation that kept going on during the first half of the season?

    I could have sworn I heard somewhere that they did shoot an actual pilot for ABC for it, but maybe I misheard that one.

    Not sure how they do it for Central. They just talk about the base EST start time[. It airs at 8 EST currently.

    There might have been a reference to the One-Shot acting like a back door pilot.

    9PM Eastern would equal 8PM Central, and 6PM Pacific.

    I know how the timezones shift but wasn't sure if they air it live at the same time in all zones or time delay it to 8PM for all zones.

    May shouldn't have gotten rid of the Asgardian staff. She could have used it on Ward.

    I kinda want Coulson to take a big photo of his and Garret's circuit board looking designs and show up at Stark tower going "hey can you figure out what this does? I'm not what-oh yeah, I'm not dead. So about this picture..."

    I also want a Noisemaker ringtone.

    I believe we have just witnessed history.

    Garrett and Coulson have just formulated KFC's 11 secret herbs and spices recipe...

    Well, the entire first season consistently aired at 7PM Central since the second episode (I don't remember the time for the pilot).

    Speaking of which, one other line that deserves to be highlighted:

    "You were never on top!"
