AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Finale Reveals The #FallenAgent; Sets Up [SPOILER] For Season 4
After months of buildup, the season 3 finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D finally revealed which main character bought the farm. Plus, the final scene sets up some very interesting things for season 4...
Well, did you see that coming? For quite a while we've known that a principal character was going to be killed off in the season finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, and in the end it was Inhuman recruit, Lincoln Campbell. Though emotional enough (they made sure to establish a close bond with Daisy this season), it wasn't really that much of a shock as Lincoln is a relatively new character, and many fans rightly assumed he'd be the one to die.
They did keep us guessing with a game of musical death-chain all through the episode, but it was ultimately Lincoln that sacrificed himself and took out Hive (who actually showed some humanity in his final moments) in the process.
After the tears were shed we jumped forward 6 months. Daisy has once again gone off the grid, and seems to be helping as many people as she can without the aid of her former team-mates. After her cool Quake-jump (for a minute I thought she was going to properly take off like Neo at the end of The Matrix) we also get the reveal that Coulson is no longer director of S.H.I.E.L.D., though we don't find out who is.
What we do see in the final scene is Dr. Radcliffe uploading his LMD (Life Model Decoy) Phase 1, and we get a tease of AIDA (Artificial Intelligence Data Analyser), who readers of Marvel's early Squadron Supreme comics should know well. Will she be an asset to our heroes, or is this setting up an Ultron-style villain for season 4?
Be sure to share your thoughts on the episode in the usual place.
