Its enough to make anyone wish we could skip ahead to the much cooler-sounding Chronicom takeover storyline.For example, the writers confronted the concern of some characters and likely many viewers that Flint isnt any more real than Hive or Lash were in last seasons fear dimension episode.Wouldnt he disintegrate if poked with a sharp stick And they allowed Deke to finally shed his cocky veneer and admit that he built this company because no one liked me Mack calling him Agent Shaw was all that was needed to complete an arc that could have easily been otherwise dismissed as solely comic relief.
The destruction they wrought was balanced nicely by the development of the special dagger-bullets, but the difficulty with the quinjet and Zephyr One was also appropriately suspenseful, especially once Yoyo swallowed a bat and created one of the most emotionally tense situations of the finale and thats saying something given Mays fate in this episode. When, upon dispatching a wounded zombie, the man wearing Coulsons face quipped, Too much I dont know, it kind of felt like overkill, whose heart wouldnt leap for joy at a little trademark Coulson sass Even after Sarge killed May to rid himself of the pain of love, many viewers likely thought it was a ploy once they saw that her death was meaningless in the incorporeal realm. ![]() Those are the kind of ultimate stakes a finale needs, even if they were undone in the end.

Never mind that Mack, Daisy, Yoyo, and Deke just abandoned the massive aircraft to the zombies only moments before. All thoughts of Izel and Sarge were swept away by the threat of Earth becoming Chronica-3, and learning that SHIELD would have to escape through time again heightened audience expectations immensely. Bringing forth an LMD Coulson in order to hide effectively from the Chronicoms in the 1930s may seem questionable as a strategy, but its an incredibly satisfying alternative to forcing Sarge into a Coulson-like existence. It was an imperfect ending to a spotty season, but the set-up for whats to come is all we could have hoped for and more.
