Spoilers

Highlights – Linking directly to the plot of Captain America – The Winter Soldier was
what this show needed. The level of
tension and character enhancement was the shot in the arm and perfectly timed
for a thrilling finale. Whedon has no
fear in killing or changing characters and having Ward be a bad guy all along
was brilliant. While fans tried to
justify the double cross, hoping Ward was just playing along or was perhaps
just brainwashed, the direction was set for Ward. The character did seem to become less evil
toward the end and perhaps redemption is on the way. Whedon does give characters second chances no
matter how bad they were. The entire
package from Skye, Tahiti, the Toy Box and the Clairvoyant is all tied in
nicely.
The Future - The show certainly has redeemed itself
in quality and ratings. Agents of SHIELD is moving to the 9pm
slot and it is uncertain if that is going to help the ratings. It will be getting away from #1 NCIS but will be going against the new NCIS – New Orleans so it has a
chance. Agent Carter will air during
SHIELD’s hiatus in January so it will be interesting to see how Agents of SHIELD deals with this. Also one would expect some kind of tie in
with Agent Carter as well as
connections with the upcoming Avengers – Age of Ultron in 2015.
