Do you mean will this be the end of the series? If so the next seasons has already been confirmed.

Shield was already renewed for a 4th season.

Bobbi and Hunter are being written out so they can top line their own show together, which is the spinoff.

Seems like a horrible idea for a spinoff. They finally have a decent team with a pretty good dynamic. And they are going to take 2 integral members of said team away. Leaving us with more Daisy (ughhhh) and May's cardboard cutout.

I never liked the Hunter character to begin with. I feel like he kind of just showed up and he never jived on the show for me.

I would watch a show with Bobbi. But I'd be much more interested for the character to appear in the films. Or have hear lead an event series with someone like Hawkeye.

Anybody have any idea how the spinoff will be positioned?

If they are disavowed agents then they certainly won't be working for SHIELD ... at least not directly.

Dang! I was just starting to really enjoy this show!

Centers on Bobbi Morse (a.k.a. Mockingbird) and Lance Hunter of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., two ex-spies and ex-spouses who are on the run with no friends, no S.H.I.E.L.D. and a long list of enemies looking to claim a bounty on their heads. Able to trust no one but each other, Bobbi and Hunter form an uneasy alliance with Dominic Fortune, a rogue adventurer with a wealth of resources and even more adversaries, who agrees to protect them so long as they help him with his own agenda. These two heroes will help anyone in need, all while trying to uncover the conspiracy that put their own lives in jeopardy.

Why do I hear the A-team theme music playing when I read that description?

That was a cool moment at the bar but unrealistic. We can't has contact with you but we will send you drinks and look at you while drinking them.

While a government agent watches cluelessly.

Going to miss Bobbi on Shield.

That was an interesting way to write them out getting disavowed. I guess that could lead to some potentially interesting storylines with them being freelancers.

I liked the bar scene at the end. Unrealistic, but a nice moment.

I heard they're currently shooting the Pilot for Most Wanted. Hopefully it works out. I can see some crossovers happening.

Holy crap, a Hayley James Scott sighting!

Bar scene was cool but too obvious.

Was it just me or was the entire plot overly convoluted? And after all that posturing about not taking the fall, the Prime Minister lets them go anyway? It went from Malick convincing someone about an Inhuman sanctuary to them needing his help to throw a coup (or make a decision to throw one?). And they needed Inhuman powers to assassinate the Prime Minister there why exactly? Just assassinate him any time when you can make it look like an accident and your co conspirators aren't all present.

So take away the absurdity of that end scene. SHIELD is a secret organization that the US government denies affiliation with and the very existence of. In fact, if they're found out, it'll start a war. These guys have no social lives, why can't they still be field agents? Because if they're caught in the field... They'll have to lie about belonging to SHIELD? They're spies, right?

But hey, One Tree Hill.

I had a thought like that as well. For the most part they do everything at Shield, there really is nothing else so......

I;m just flabbergastered that a show which isn't actually killing it is getting a spin off

Are Marvel willing to take a loss on TV for the greater good of their Marvel universe ? It's not like the series is setting up anything important

They need more shows like Peggy Carter, not AoS.

This ep felt terribly clunky. The send off was sweet but everything up to it was a mess.

I think Marvel has plans to eventually use Bobbi in the movies. This is a way of keeping Adrianne Palicki around and active, turning her more into the Mockingbird known from the comics.

ABC is always looking for female-driven action/adventure shows.

Didn't like this episode, which I think is a real good indicator of how I will feel about the spinoff.
Inside this infomercial for the MCU was a great series, if it ever had the chance to develop on its own terms (see Gotham).

I wouldn't make any judgements about the spinoff from this episode. This was just sloppy even by AoS standards.

Didn't care for the episode, thought the entire plot was a little silly too. The end was sweet if not silly for the reasons mentioned, but also because two bad ass spies never detected their former agent friends all around the bar either.

Agents of SHIELD has been a disappointment 90% of the time and they just got rid of the two characters that accounted for 8 or that other 10%.

The guy watching them didn't notice either. But the two of them did notice their friends, just one at a time as they bought them drinks. I kept thinking Daisy would be mad because she bought a drink they attributed to Fitz or something.
