Well, that was.... probably the worst season finale of the 3 for this series in my opinion.
Just a couple thoughts:
The "who's going to die" finally came to an end, and honestly, I'm conflicted. I didn't want Mack, FitzSimmons, or Daisy to die. Coulson pretty much seems off limits unless we're talking series finale. So I'm glad that it wasn't them. At the same time, BECAUSE it wasn't one of them, I couldn't care less about what the show worked so hard to build up. So I'm pretty much just left with, "I'm glad it wasn't anyone I really liked, but all that build up for nothing." It's funny, because I kind of wanted it to be May. I feel like she's been an integral part of the team from season 1 yet I wasn't attached to her because of her lack of character development. And wouldn't you know, she's finally starting to break down about Andrew to Daisy and then *WHAM*, knocked out by Giyera mid-sentence
.
"Hot potato" with the cross felt really gimmicky. Instead of all this being story driven, it came down to whether or not you could keep up with which cup the ball was under.
Dalton's finally done. Then again, it never felt like he was back once he re-emerged as Hive...
And now it looks like Daisy has gone rogue, again. I've loved Skye from the very beginning but the whole orphan, loner, rebel who don't belong with a team and doesn't deserve happiness shtick is getting kind of old. Like, really old. Careful what you ask for I guess. I wanted more character development/progression, looks like we'll be getting more of that. Except it's more Skye/Daisy/Quake or whatever they want to name her to transition her character again.
All in all, I really enjoyed the first half of season 3. I went along for the ride with the 2nd half, tried my best to enjoy it, but ultimately, was disappointed. But it's not all bad. I'm glad they're no longer dragging FitzSimmons around. Hope their situation gets explored and progresses in some creative ways. Mack is a gem in this and has become one of, if not my favorite character. And that's pretty much it...
