Well folks, I gotta get up at midnight to drive to Texas for a duck hunt. So I'm gonna make this short, sweet and simple. I've got some predictions for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and without going into detail of why I think them I'm just gonna come out and say it. Y'all know my articles are usually lengthy, but I've got shit to do. So, here we go:
Before the end of Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mid-season finale on December 9th, I believe Grant Ward will sacrifice himself to save somebody, specifically Skye or perhaps the team.
The Obelisk contains a Terrigen Crystal. It kills anybody who touches it except those with Kree DNA. So Skye, Raina, and probably Coulson should all be safe.
It could be the Terrigen Crystal-containing Obelisk that winds up giving Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch their powers. It'd be a lovely way for the show to connect to next year's Age of Ultron.
Skye will turn out to be an Inhuman version of Daisy Johnson, AKA Quake.
Coulson and Trip will both be in Age of Ultron, where it will come as a surprise to all of the Avengers that Coulson isn't dead, and neither is S.H.I.E.L.D.
That's all I got, folks. Let me know what you think of my speculation in the comment section below!
