If the future folk are indeed referring to Daisy when they say that ‘Quake’ is the one that destroyed the Earth, then they must be in a future where Daisy gets back, since from her POV she hasn’t done it yet. Unless this is actually a parallel universe where ‘our’ Daisy is not the same one that destroyed the Earth.
Wouldn’t that then change the future they had arrived at since they are now in its past? The alternative is that it will happen because it already happened which is depressing from a narrative standpoint since it means there is literally nothing they can do unless they go into parallel worlds or something.
I hate time travel.
So - next season would be them back in ‘present time’ and quake/daisy/world destroyer being all antsy about not doing whatever she done did to cause the earth shattering event, only to find out that she done did the things she needed to done did because she done did it anway.
or she doesn’t, and it was some other quake that done did the thing and if daisy hadn’t not did the thing she was supposed to not do, she would have stopped it.
Nice, not even out of January and ABC is cautiously optimistic about a sixth season for shield. Not bad for a show that got thrown on to a Friday slot.
With time shift viewing Friday isn’t the death slot it used to be, and it’s (I believe*) crushing it’s competition in the live viewing too. I have the impression that it went to Friday to save it not kill it.

It would, but I don’t think it would in only 60 some years.
I just realized that Rock Boy (Flint) could possibly put the earth back together. Granted, he’s no where near that powerful now, but combined with Quake, maybe.
Although it seems more likely that they’ll prevent the earth from getting exploded to begin with.
I’m got to that point after the first episode of the last season.
But this was a really good episode at least.
This is great news! I also sincerely hope they’re counting time-shifts because Thursday’s are my most open TV days and I usually watch last week’s episode then.
Still liking this season. I love love LOVE Enoch. Lots of kudos to his actor because he plays him perfectly. I also don’t hate the new guy who lives on the ship…let’s call him Sparky 2.0…because he reacts in a very “real” way to everything to me. I couldn’t tell you if he was supposed to be a Cypher to the audience, but he definitely is to me
I’m going to go out on a limb and say last episode is the first example in the history of TV of someone in a non-WWII or Korean war based show getting killed with a bayonetted Garand.
Also, because I’m late to the thread and only caught up now, my favorite character(s) are Fitz and Mac.
It also sucks for me because they are the most likely ones to die horribly at some point in the near future in a Whedon-esque way, but damn do I love them. Also, according to Mrs. Cups, Fitz has gotten way hotter this year.
I kinda agree.
I haven’t seen the most recent episode (Friday the 19th) but I’ve watched up to the episode immediately following the episode that prompted the comments quoted above. I must say that I’m surprised as the lack of people here saying WHAT. THE. HELL???
Fine, I can accept that, as a viewer of the show since the beginning, I was “supposed to know” that Fitz was using a NightNight Gun and I should have expected Sinara to be alive. Caught up in the excitement I thought that Fitz was straight up Dirty Harrying the motherfuckers, but RikWriter must be correct.
However… Simmons did straight up cut Kasius’ Kreemotherfucking throat!
Then, in the very next episode he has a minor cut on his- where was it?- his cheek? The cut sure as hell wasn’t on his throat where she sliced him giving me every valid reason to think he was dead!
This bothered no one but me?
Simmons had a butterknife rather than a real knife, and she starts the cut from the cheek and goes across the throat. So obviously she did not get any deeper than a shaving cut.
I’m only up to s5e4 so far, but just wanted to chime in on the side of: This show is incredible, and keeps getting better. I have a feeling this is the last season, but I hope to be wrong.
The ghost rider stuff was a bit shaky, but the LMD/Framework storyline was awesome upon awesome.
So far this season is a lot of fun. It’s nice to see the team out of their element. I don’t believe that Daisy quaked the Earth, but we’ll see. At this point I trust just about nothing coming out of Deek’s mouth. The weak point so far is Gemma’s part of the story. Maybe it’s the costuming/set design of Kasius’s area, but I keep expecting the Inhumans to show up. (with a capital I, as in the series, i.e. Black Bolt et al, not just any inhumans) And needless to say, that would be a hard NOPE if they did.
Mack continues to astound. Watching him break up about Hope was rough.
Oh, and I hope May’s not dead. We didn’t see a body, and I doubt they’d kill off a major character like her off-screen, but I don’t see how both she and flying-ball-Kree-girl could get out of that fight unscathed.
Looking forward to seeing what happened to Fitz…
So - dude in the future trys to kill Daisy so she won’t go back in time to do the thing she;'s not there to do currently.
I really - really - hate time travel done badly.
It’s a loop. Agents go into the future, see everything is horrible, go back to the past, try to stop it, end up breaking the Earth. The guy was trying to break the loop. And even if it’s not a loop, he believes it is. I don’t see anything wrong with the way he was thinking.
I’m guessing Flint will be the one to break the loop. He’ll put together the monolith so they can go back, and he’ll help hold together the Earth (probably in a dramatic sacrifice) after whatever happens.
There really is no other way to do time travel.
IF the loop begins AFTER the agents got milked to the future - then the loop can’t start (for that iteration).
If the loop begins AFTER the agents got miled to the future and then milked back to the past (presumably at the same moment they got sent forward) - then , sure, the events could come into play - but they won’t, since they will have the info from the non-future events and will find a way to stop.
Therefore - the loop never happens in either case.
In the end, its a big fuckin reset button ‘it was all a dream’ season - and I hates those forever.
At least Voyager (‘Year of Hell’) pissed us off after only 2 episodes with the reset - and I liked that one.
Give me a Delorean every time - I can deal with that.
