That's a good point.
Agents of SHIELD: Season 6

- Start date
So, where are we going?
We've got the big coming together of the earth/Sarge and space/FitzSimmons stories. As expected, they're colliding. And yet we surprisingly still have some Chronicoms messing around with the brains or memories of FitzSimmons in space. That's going somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Specifically, the Chronicoms seem to be interested in time travel. Are they going to invent it, and in doing so, send Sarge or Izel back in time? Will we see the Chronicoms invent the monoliths and/or the shrikes?

I suspect the Chronicom business is setup for the next arc of the season.
While I think I made it clear that I didn't think Sarge was long for this world without a major personality makeover, I definitely wasn't expecting that.
I'm more concerned with why Davis passed out, and how it might relate to the moment he was out of sight on the alien ship.

So there's pretty much a 0.000% chance Izel is dead. We never saw her on the ship after Jocko and Davis lost her the first time. At first I thought she might have simply flown off on the quinjet, but she's probably a shapeshifter disguised as Davis. Sad to see Jocko go, he was a neat character. Also sad to likely see Davis go, it was nice to have a normal person like that recur on this show full of crazy ass shit.
That sure was a surprising ending. My first thought was whoa, May killed him. My second thought was Izel switched her disguise from Davis to May. My third and current thought is that May didn't exactly try to kill him, but shot him to prove/reveal what he really is. He seemed to still be alive/functioning.
Benson has been noticeably absent lately. He's due to show up soon to play some part in Izel's plan.
The Daisy vs Shrike scene was done poorly. Neat idea, but it seemed to be shot wrong or positioned wrong, and it wound up looking like she only killed 5 of them, instead of the whole flock of hundreds which I think is what was supposed to happen.
I enjoyed the celebration scene at the end. Nice little way to catch your breath, and catch up with friends. (Including characters who are friends with each other, and viewers relaxing with fictional friends from the show.) I love Deke. I love him interacting with his grandparents, I love him interacting with Daisy, and I love him interacting with Snowflake.
And on a completely unrelated thought, I just want to say that I'd be totally okay if Ward shows up as another villain again on this show. The show did a nice job of redeeming him in the Framework, and I can totally understand if they want to end his appearances on a high note and leave it at that. But if they drag him out again, I wouldn't complain.

Yeah, Davis is for sure bodysnatched. Have to say, I share Piper's confusion at his sticking around after they got back from space. I mean after all, he was pushing the hardest to get home.
I'm putting even money on May also being infected since it seems a little out of character to straight up murder a prisoner, even one like that.
Not 100& sure what Daisy actually did to kill all the bat things. I mean I assume she vibrated them as such a high frequency that they disintegrated (just like she did to the monolith) but they didn't use the usual distortion VFX for her powers, so it felt a tiny bit unclear. I mean for a moment there I thought maybe she was mimicking the repellent signal, but then they just turned to dust.
I like how smart Yo-Yo played taking back the plane. Instead of attacking head first as she might have done in the past, she split them up and allowed Mac to deal with Sarge while she handled Jaco.

What about the "five year" discussion between Max and Daisy? So, are we caught up with the Avenger: Endgame conclusion, too? So, who got dusted and reborn versus lived out the last five years? I'm a little confused.
I also agree that the Daisy quake-kill of the Shrike was done poorly. Also, why would 100% of the shrike attack just the truck and not go off in all directions? The plot needed a quick ending?

We got definite confirmation now that Sarge doesn't know his name, and it sounds like he's missing some of his memories, and that some of the ones he had might not be real.
I'm with you guys on Daisy taking out the Shrike, that was way to quick and easy for the huge swarm they showed outside the truck.
Daisy containing the bomb's explosion was impressive, I had forgotten just how powerful she's gotten.
As soon as Izel disappeared before the ship blew up, I knew there was no way she was dead.
I'm sad to Jaco die, I was really starting to like him.
The party scene was pretty fun, it was nice to see the characters relax for a bit.
Something is definitely up with Davis, that seemed like more than just drunken passing out/falling asleep.
That last scene was a big shocker.
The preview showed some interesting stuff, apparently May doesn't remember shooting Sarge, so I'm thinking it was either possession, mind control, or Izel is a shapeshifter.
I was a bit surprised they actually showed Izel in the preview, it was obvious she didn't die, but I still didn't expect them to show her before the actual reveal in the episode. They also showed either May or Daisy attacking her, only for her to phase out or something so that they passed right through her.

Daisy wasn't containing the explosion (though that was my first impression as well)...she was cushioning the bomb to prevent it from going off.
I understand that, I just would have thought it would have taken a lot more effort over a lot more time to take out the huge swarm they were showing outside the truck. What we saw seemed like just a handful over a few seconds.
Oh, OK, that actually does make more sense.^ Yeah it was pretty much her version of wrapping it in a shit-ton of bubble wrap.
I think Mack was saying, "Knowing where you've been the last five years..." about her not expecting coming back to Earth being weirder than what she saw in space, so it'd be five years since she joined up with SHIELD (and started seeing far-out stuff) in 2013. I mean, we won't know for sure unless and until people inexplicably start disintegrating, but it's consistent with the producers saying they tapped the brakes on the timeline and this season takes place prior to Infinity War.

Yeah, that line caught my attention too, but after a brief moment of confusion (my immediate thought was "whoa, did they quickly edit in a little throwaway reference to Endgame long after they filmed the season?"), I also settled on the "5 years since you joined Shield" meaning.
I'm always amazed when Davis and Piper make it to the end of an episode, since they seem purpose built to be killed off at some point. Given that next week's episode is called 'Leap', I'm guessing Izel hitched a ride in Davie before hopping over to May at the end.
What do you mean about Davis? I am sure he just fell asleep and their is nothing more than that.

I loved that Mack got to throw Sarge's "toldja" line back in his face.
