If it is, I'll be miffed. Been a little sideways with the team deaths since the last major one was Tripp.
I'm thinking it'll be Linc... as we are the least attached to him.
I still think they'll off someone, but leave us hanging until the Season 4 premiere.

I don't know why we are spoilerizing speculation.
I'm thinking Ming Na is No Mas. She's had no real role this season, she's getting a little long in the tooth... probably need to cut some serious salary going forward...

Did the writers just turned Lincoln into Jesus? That was more ham fisted that Man of Steel.

The "fallen agent" wasn't too surprising. Lincoln was pretty much the safe choice. They sure did a lot of teases and fake-outs, though.
Looks like Daisy is going rogue.
I wonder how they'll bring Ward back. LMD? I don't think they'll ever shake that bastard.

I wonder if they are going to go into Deltites or just the LMDs;
Pretty good ending, the best thing about this show are the season finales, they are pretty awesome.

So what was going on there at the end? They said the "director". Is shield no more? Who is the director they're working for now?

Solid 2 hours.
Ward better stay fricking dead this time around!! Lincoln was definitely the safe choice since he hasn't been the show that long. I hate how stupid ABC kept promoting it. "Who will die?" Why not leave it for a surprise?
Interesting epilogue with Daisy gone rogue and on the run. When Coulson mentioned the director, I have to assume he was talking about Fury. I read a blurb that Fury will be back in one of the future Marvel movies.

Yeah, seems like Talbot is likely choice for director since Fury is still underground (at least according to 2nd Cap America movie).
Good finale. Lincoln was more and more obvious as the death the more the episode went along. I didn't like all the fakeouts, though, with injuries and such.

It seems that Daisy is also keeping in touch with her real dad too.

Any thoughts on who the LMD was of at the end? It was a female silhouette, I can't think of any characters from the show that would make sense to do that with.

Just watched this last night. I found it interesting how Lincoln and Hive just calmly accepted their fate. I liked that instead of the clichéd battle to the death. I do hope that this is the end of Ward. He had a great run, but Coulson was justified in ending him mid-season. Hive was a good price for Coulson and SHIELD to pay. And now possibly Coulson's demotion for his stance against the Sovokia Accords.
I wonder if they were not sure if they were getting a fourth season. This ending seems more of a clean break than the other season finales. And I hope Fitz enjoyed that vacation with Simmons.

I dunno. The finales of the first 2 seasons sucked me back in, but I've just struggled to care about this show or these characters all season, and this finale wasn't any different. Took me 3 sittings to get thru it. I'll probably give it a chance in the fall, but I think I might be done with this show.

I wouldn't rule out a return of Fury. Unless they have no plans to ever bring him back, which I doubt.
Awesome finale but I'm not really keen on the whole Daisy went rogue story for next season. So over done.
