PERIOD
Once again,Agents of Shield proofed why it's the best comic book show....
they BETTER NOT KILL Coulson
they BETTER NOT KILL Coulson
What if,in the final scene,certain characters start turning into dust...
they woud have to wait a year to bring it back
His character is becoming very annoying
Not necessarily. I wouldn't mind seeing a few episodes where they have to cope with the repercussions of Thanos' victory. Hill & Fury being gone should have severe consequences for everyone else in S.H.I.E.L.D so why not see what transpires from their point of view
damn I love this show. 
its been great but yeah i believe next week show is truly gonna be the end
if i was marvel this would be the last network(as in ABC CBS NBC FOX) tv show
if i was marvel this would be the last network(as in ABC CBS NBC FOX) tv show

Agents of SHIELD Can Save Coulson AND the World In The Season 5 Finale
The latest episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., "The Force of Gravity," left the S.H.I.E.L.D. team faced with an impossible dilemma; should they save Phil Coulson, or should they save the world? Season 5 has revisited a number of key plot points from the last five seasons of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., most recently the Centipede Serum. Introduced back in season 1, it seems the Centipede Serum can be used to save Phil Coulson. Or, alternatively, it can be used to kill Graviton. But S.H.I.E.L.D. did too good a job taking down Hydra, and there's only one sample of the serum left. Will S.H.I.E.L.D. choose to save Coulson, or to save the world?
There's a certain irony to this plot twist. Future Yo-Yo warned her present-day self that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s efforts to save Coulson would lead to the destruction of the planet. As a result, Yo-Yo believes Coulson simply has to die, and she and Quake literally came to blows over it. But if Daisy hadn't been trying to save her father-figure, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't have a single sample of the Serum. If S.H.I.E.L.D. do indeed save the world and break the time loop, it's precisely because they chose to try to save Coulson.
RELATED: AGENTS OF SHIELD HAS REWRITTEN THE HISTORY OF THE MCU
Part of the problem is that temporal mechanics are hardly simple, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. team are new to traveling through time. Future Yo-Yo admitted that every word she said to her past self was part of the time loop; however hard she tried, she just couldn't focus enough to say anything different. That means her words should hardly be taken as Gospel -she might as well be the voice of the time loop. Meanwhile, "The Force of Gravity" saw Fitz come up with an audacious proposal - one that would potentially break the loop once and for all.
SAVE COULSON, SAVE THE WORLD
CAN TIME BE CHANGED?
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has toyed with two different theories as regards the nature of time. In the season 3 episode "Spacetime," Fitz argued that the future is, to an extent, predetermined. Once you have experienced the future, you know exactly what will come to pass, and your destiny becomes fixed and unalterable. He's propounded this same theory through the bulk of season 5, albeit inconsistently. So far, the entire time loop is happening exactly as Robin prophesied, and the world's fate seems to be sealed.
Deke, however, has introduced a second theory: the Multiverse Theory. In this theory, there are crucial moments that create parallel dimensions, timelines where events played out differently. He believes, therefore, that somewhere in the loop there's a crucial decision that acts as a branch in the road. One choice can save the world, averting the timeline in which Earth has been destroyed. Though Deke doesn't know it, the MCU is clearly taking the Multiverse model. In Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange uses the Time Stone to peer into millions of different futures, in order to determine which one Thanos would be defeated in. That simply wouldn't be possible if time were fixed, thus proving the Multiverse theory for the MCU.
The task facing S.H.I.E.L.D. is, in theory, a simple one: identify the point where the timelines branch out, and choose the branch that saves the world. In reality, of course, it's far more complicated than that, since S.H.I.E.L.D. has no way of knowing which decision is the crucial one. "The Force of Gravity" sees Fitz suggest one simple way - rather than try to save Coulson, what would happen if S.H.I.E.L.D. succeeded? Coulson wasn't part of that horrific dystopian future, so adding him into the mix would break the loop. Assuming Fitz is right, is it possible to save Coulson and save the world?
Agents of SHIELD Can Save Coulson AND the World In The Season 5 Finale
THE CENTIPEDE SERUM CHOICE IS A RED HERRING
Season 5 has seen Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. toy with the audiences' expectations like never before. The second half of the season, for example, carefully set up a number of potential "Destroyer of Worlds," before settling on General Talbot, a character nobody had considered. With attention focused on the options of Quake or Ruby, nobody noticed that Talbot had grown a beard similar to the comic book version of Graviton, and begun dressing in blue. The signs were all there, but the series was distracting its viewers with a false choice. The trailer for "The Force of Gravity" focused on the idea that the prophecy is true, and featured dialogue where Daisy calls herself "the Destroyer of Worlds." It made viewers believe Daisy had acknowledged herself as that dangerous being, when in context she simply said it to muster up the strength of will to resist a Kree device. This half-season has all been about misdirection.
The Centipede Serum choice is another misdirection, albeit a very sophisticated one. It seems the Serum works in a similar way to the particle infusion process explored earlier in the season, allowing another substance to be bonded to a being's cells and granting them the properties of that substance. Thus, the Centipede Serum can be used to bind Jiaying's healing properties to Phil Coulson, but alternatively, it could be used to bind the Confederacy's Odium toxin to Graviton, killing him. S.H.I.E.L.D. only have the one sample, and must choose how to use it.
RELATED: AGENTS OF SHIELD SEASON 6 CAN IMPROVE INFINITY WAR'S CLIFFHANGER
But here's the catch: using the Centipede Serum to bind the Odium to Graviton in order to kill him would be a terrible mistake. While the Odium is fatal, that isn't why the Confederacy use it. They use it to give themselves what Kasius called "a fearsome last stand. A brilliant flash of light and splendor." A being who has taken the Odium sees their every ability enhanced for the last few minutes of their lives, and their inhibitions are drowned in a furious bloodlust. Now imagine Graviton under the influence of the Odium. Yes, Talbot would ultimately die, but for a few brief minutes his powers would be greater than ever before, and he'd have absolutely no self-control. If anything could crack the planet like an egg, it's Graviton dying after the Odium was introduced to his body.
SAVE COULSON, SAVE THE WORLD
The central theme of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not "science trumps all." Rather, it's "family." The showrunners are well aware of this fact; in an interview with Comic Book discussing Season 4, Jeph Loeb explained that was why they used Robbie Reyes's Ghost Rider rather than Johnny Blaze's. "Our show, at the end of day, is always about family," he explained. For the conclusion of Season 5 to be satisfying, it doesn't just have to be dramatic and epic; rather, it has to fulfill the show's themes. It has to be about "family."
Over the last five years, Coulson hasn't just forged a team - he's built a family, one that stands at the center of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., motivated by their love for one another. Like any family, it's sometimes a bit dysfunctional (the scrap between Daisy and Yo-Yo in "The One Who Will Save Us All" is basically two sisters having a fight). But S.H.I.E.L.D. is still a family, and the bonds of love are strong between the team's various members. "The Force of Gravity" went to great lengths to remind viewers that Talbot is a part of that family. Coulson loves Talbot like a brother, and - underneath all the insanity and psychosis - Talbot loves Coulson too. Even after six months in a Hydra prison, Talbot held on to the hope that Coulson would come to him.
The solution to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Graviton problem is not pseudo-science, it's the faith and love that Phil Coulson offers unreservedly to those who are part of his family. S.H.I.E.L.D. don't need to kill Talbot, they need to talk him down. And there's only one man who can do that: Phil Coulson.

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Renewed for Shortened Season 6 [Update]
BY ADAM CHITWOOD MAY 14, 2018
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will live to see another day. ABC announced today that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 6 is happening, much to the delight of fans who have stuck with the series through its rocky ride. There is a hitch, however, as TV Line reports that Season 6 will be shorter than previous seasons, consisting of just 13 episodes. It hasn’t yet been determined if Season 6 will be the show’s last, but no doubt the showrunners would like to know beforehand if they’re crafting an endgame or if there’s hope for the show to continue on past Season 6 with shorter seasons.
[Update]: Those new episodes will debut in the summer of 2019. According to Channing Dungey, President of ABC Entertainment, there are no plans to wrap the series up yet (acknowledging how strong Season 5 was creatively), and that by moving it to summer it could let the series live longer than it would if it were in-season. Dungey noted that the series does very well in delayed viewing numbers, and they recognize what a passionate fanbase the show has (also the move has nothing to do with story plans in the larger MCU).
S.H.I.E.L.D. debuted in 2013 as the brainchild of Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Joss Whedon, who helped created the series in the wake of the success of The Avengers and directed the pilot. The show was intended to be an offshoot of the big screen MCU, tying into events of the films, but that close connectivity proved to be nearly impossible to do on a larger scale since films take two years to make and television is written, shot, produced, and aired in a matter of weeks.
Image via ABC
Ratings fell throughout the show’s first season and the slippage continued throughout seasons 2 and 3, but things started leveling off in Season 4 and the show has now maintained a fairly devoted fanbase—even if this most recent season saw the ratings fall to series-low levels. Those who are still watching have praised the series’ creative upswing over the past couple of seasons, and the series has indeed started venturing beyond the confines of Earth to find new stories worth telling.
Even non-fans are now curious to see how the Season 5 finale (airing this Friday) will address the big twist in Avengers: Infinity War, which could set up a very different board for Season 6. If next season is indeed the final go-around, the show wouldn’t even be able to address the conclusion of the Infinity War storyline until Avengers 4 hits theaters next May.
Indeed, since Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige reshuffled his executive structure to report directly to Disney’s Alan Horn a few years ago, the Ike Perlmutter-overseen Marvel TV—which is run by Jeph Loeb—has had little to no communication with the film side of things, and thus stories between the Marvel movies and the Marvel TV shows are more disconnected than ever.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing, and again I’m curious to see if Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will address Infinity War directly, or if the show will continue on forging its own path. Regardless, fans can breathe a sigh of relief that the series will indeed return, if in a more abbreviated form.
What do you think, folks? Should Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. wrap up after Season 6 or would you like to see the series continue on? Sound off in the comments below.

ABC Schedule: ‘Fresh Off the Boat,’ ‘Speechless’ Move to Fridays this Fall; ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Returns Summer 2019
As far as ABC is concerned, it’s sitting on top of the world ratings-wise. It’s ending its 2017-2018 season with the top series on television (Roseanne), the number one new drama (The Good Doctor) and the top reality show launch (American Idol). So, there aren’t a ton of change-ups to its schedule, but it has found room for a few new series as well as moves for beloved comedies Fresh Off the Boat and Speechless (which are moving to Fridays …). Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., which was just picked up for a shortened Season 6, won’t return until summer 2019. (According to Channing Dungey, President of ABC Entertainment, there are no plans to wrap the series up yet, and that by moving it to summer it could let the series live longer than it would if it were in-season. Dungey noted that the series does very well in delayed viewing numbers, and they recognize what a passionate fanbase the show has — also the move has nothing to do with story plans in the larger MCU).
Dungey also said in a press release today that, “We enter the new season bolstered by success and the stability that it affords us. The new shows we unveil today strengthen an already-vibrant schedule of some of the best television has to offer. These shows, with their compelling characters and aspirational storytelling, will keep our momentum going.”
Image via ABC
ABC has also picked up eight new primetime series, including one-hour dramas A Million Little Things (The highest-tested pilot of the group), The Fix, Grand Hotel,The Rookie (starring Nathan Fillion) and Whiskey Cavalier, as well as the half-hour comedies The Kids Are Alright, Schooled and Single Parents (the trailers for which will drop later today). It’s also picked up The Alec Baldwin Show, a one-hour show that “will showcase Baldwin’s in-depth conversations with compelling personalities.”

Is back Mutherfuckers...
And it's actually smart for them to come back summer of 2019... That will be right after the Next Infinity War movie... and allow them to set up shit for the next phase of Marvel..
AND NOW I HAVE TO PUT MY EYES ON YOU SYFY... CW and ABC are showing you how you keep fan loyalty.

Ratings fell throughout the show’s first season and the slippage continued throughout seasons 2 and 3, but things started leveling off in Season 4 and the show has now maintained a fairly devoted fanbase—even if this most recent season saw the ratings fall to series-low levels. Those who are still watching have praised the series’ creative upswing over the past couple of seasons, and the series has indeed started venturing beyond the confines of Earth to find new stories worth telling.
Even non-fans are now curious to see how the Season 5 finale (airing this Friday) will address the big twist in Avengers: Infinity War, which could set up a very different board for Season 6. If next season is indeed the final go-around, the show wouldn’t even be able to address the conclusion of the Infinity War storyline until Avengers 4 hits theaters next May.
Indeed, since Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige reshuffled his executive structure to report directly to Disney’s Alan Horn a few years ago, the Ike Perlmutter-overseen Marvel TV—which is run by Jeph Loeb—has had little to no communication with the film side of things, and thus stories between the Marvel movies and the Marvel TV shows are more disconnected than ever.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing, and again I’m curious to see if Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will address Infinity War directly, or if the show will continue on forging its own path. Regardless, fans can breathe a sigh of relief that the series will indeed return, if in a more abbreviated form.
What do you think, folks? Should Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. wrap up after Season 6 or would you like to see the series continue on? Sound off in the comments below.

ABC Schedule: ‘Fresh Off the Boat,’ ‘Speechless’ Move to Fridays this Fall; ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Returns Summer 2019
As far as ABC is concerned, it’s sitting on top of the world ratings-wise. It’s ending its 2017-2018 season with the top series on television (Roseanne), the number one new drama (The Good Doctor) and the top reality show launch (American Idol). So, there aren’t a ton of change-ups to its schedule, but it has found room for a few new series as well as moves for beloved comedies Fresh Off the Boat and Speechless (which are moving to Fridays …). Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., which was just picked up for a shortened Season 6, won’t return until summer 2019. (According to Channing Dungey, President of ABC Entertainment, there are no plans to wrap the series up yet, and that by moving it to summer it could let the series live longer than it would if it were in-season. Dungey noted that the series does very well in delayed viewing numbers, and they recognize what a passionate fanbase the show has — also the move has nothing to do with story plans in the larger MCU).
Dungey also said in a press release today that, “We enter the new season bolstered by success and the stability that it affords us. The new shows we unveil today strengthen an already-vibrant schedule of some of the best television has to offer. These shows, with their compelling characters and aspirational storytelling, will keep our momentum going.”

ABC has also picked up eight new primetime series, including one-hour dramas A Million Little Things (The highest-tested pilot of the group), The Fix, Grand Hotel,The Rookie (starring Nathan Fillion) and Whiskey Cavalier, as well as the half-hour comedies The Kids Are Alright, Schooled and Single Parents (the trailers for which will drop later today). It’s also picked up The Alec Baldwin Show, a one-hour show that “will showcase Baldwin’s in-depth conversations with compelling personalities.”

The Destroyer of WORLDS!!!
Is back Mutherfuckers...

AND NOW I HAVE TO PUT MY EYES ON YOU SYFY... CW and ABC are showing you how you keep fan loyalty.
Yeah smart move by ABC finally...
Summer = straight run no Winter/Holiday Break
13 episodes = no filler shows..
Marvel makes too much money for ABC to cancel their flag ship TV show...

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Renewed for Shortened Season 6 [Update]
BY ADAM CHITWOOD MAY 14, 2018
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will live to see another day. ABC announced today that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 6 is happening, much to the delight of fans who have stuck with the series through its rocky ride. There is a hitch, however, as TV Line reports that Season 6 will be shorter than previous seasons, consisting of just 13 episodes. It hasn’t yet been determined if Season 6 will be the show’s last, but no doubt the showrunners would like to know beforehand if they’re crafting an endgame or if there’s hope for the show to continue on past Season 6 with shorter seasons.
[Update]: Those new episodes will debut in the summer of 2019. According to Channing Dungey, President of ABC Entertainment, there are no plans to wrap the series up yet (acknowledging how strong Season 5 was creatively), and that by moving it to summer it could let the series live longer than it would if it were in-season. Dungey noted that the series does very well in delayed viewing numbers, and they recognize what a passionate fanbase the show has (also the move has nothing to do with story plans in the larger MCU).
S.H.I.E.L.D. debuted in 2013 as the brainchild of Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Joss Whedon, who helped created the series in the wake of the success of The Avengers and directed the pilot. The show was intended to be an offshoot of the big screen MCU, tying into events of the films, but that close connectivity proved to be nearly impossible to do on a larger scale since films take two years to make and television is written, shot, produced, and aired in a matter of weeks.

AND NOW I HAVE TO PUT MY EYES ON YOU SYFY... CW and ABC are showing you how you keep fan loyalty.
I don't believe this has NOTHING to do with the MCU
nope don't believe it.
SOmething also tells me that they are setting this up for the new streaming network. That’s why they didn’t confirm the next season as the last.
13 episodes over the summer to be continued on the new streaming service.
I'm so happy we get a sixth season
