Agents of SHIELD season 5

Probably problematic if Part 2 takes places right where Infinity War left off.
Probably whatever Whitehall used to de-age himself.
That's my thought about the next Avengers movie.
We don't know how much time elapses between 3 and 4. Could be months for all we know.
Don't get your hopes up. Especially since no one in "Infinity War" was aware of a bunch of aliens in upstate New York.
They did explain that with them creating a communication blackout. Plus they were preoccupied with what was going on in New York.
I'm not entirely sure what you're responding to.
My argument is:
They shouldn't address the ending of the movie at all because that ending will likely be reset.
If you're saying "don't get your hopes up" are you saying that you think they will address it?

So, this last week, they introduced the idea that Fitzsimmons kind of expect Deke to, let's say, dissolve into clay and ash and blow away if the world is saved. If that happens at the wrong time, it could convince Team SHIELD that a wrong choice is actually the right one.
Fun idea, but honestly at this point I doubt the TV people were clued in on that little twist early enough to incorporate it into the show. I suspect the "something crazy is happening in New York" is the extent of what was shared.
You know what, though -- if they'd wanted, the AoS producers could've used the time loop story to justify saying that the show was now in an alternate timeline from the movies.
I had the same thought. It would (a) show some correlation between the show and the movies ("It's all connected"), (b) pay off Candyman's New York comment, and (c) provide some interesting tension to the current story. It's almost too good to be true.
It's possible, but I guess I prefer to think optimistically. Of course, that's what has kept me watching the show for so long, honestly, hoping it will pay off. Plus, with a younger Coulson appearing in Captain Marvel, I'm hoping they connect there, too. I might be a glutton for punishment, though.
Man, SHIELD needs to go on a team-building retreat. All of the interpersonal conflicts have come to a head. 
I got a kick out of Coulson choosing "Nuclear Armageddon" over "Alien Invasion" because he was impatient. I guess those old menus don't let you back out and make another choice. I wonder how the bunker would have responded to the "Alien Invasion" choice.
But this was certainly an eventful episode, with the Lighthouse being invaded by non-Kree aliens, YoYo and Mack having a bad confrontation, Coulson finding out that Daisy and May are going against orders to keep him alive, Fitz and Simmons becoming separated, and Talbot taking on the full bolus of Gravitonium. He wanted to fix things, and he did-- at least in the very short term.
And why is Quake digging up her mother's grave? And why does Quake need a shovel to dig up a grave?

wow, this is great.
....so what is up next episode? How many left?
And what kind of costume is Talbot wearing next episode?

Looks like it’s based on Graviton’s costume from the comics.
Yeah, I'm shocked how much he looks like comics Graviton.
Well, remember, Infinity War's release was bumped up a week at the beginning of March, so the show was expecting it to open the day of next week's ep - and, to give people some time to go see it, there probably would never have been much effect until the following week/episode (May 11's 5x21, "The Force of Gravity").
Gulp: the May 18 season finale is titled "The End"!
Well, that'd be one way to keep costs down for a season six - snap away half the cast! As much as I love all our regulars, I could see a season without May, Mack, or Fitz, with Piper promoted to full regular. I guess it makes the most sense to snap away Coulson himself, as he must have the biggest salary, but I'm not sure the show could survive without him, ratings-wise. Then again, if they billed it as a final season up front, they could sidestep that issue. Argh, I don't know how to play it! Either way, though, we'd still have at least one Koenig left, right? Bring back L.T.!
Assuming time does get reversed in Infinity War Part II, a whole season six could theoretically get Dallas-ed out of the timeline. Which would be crazy, but could also allow the writers to do basically whatever. Vampires! Sorcerers! Beliebers! Radical Wakandans taking over everything! It's possible, though, that the invetable raft of resurrections won't be accompanied by a permanent time reversal, and the snapped will be restored to the universe several months to a year after their mass disappearance, in which case that wouldn't quite apply.
... Of course, the likeliest answer to all this is the producers have known from the start that the cliffhanger will force the cancellation of the show, that that was part of the equation when the show got its Disney-mandated fifth season (and thus 100-episode mark), and have been stringing us with talk of uncertainty all along, isn't it?!
