Oh that Kevin! *wags finger*

I want to see more if only because the death of LMD May was a scene I outright cried to and had to watch over and over, and while I'm not someone who exactly restricts myself from weeping, its still very hard for media to do this to me. Good job.

She'd only be able to 'reboot' an entity highly close to her, but sure. Like the projection of this Ward, but even closer. Radcliffe still knows the 'closest to real one' (or real one in his futurist eyes) is gone.

Their brains have been effectively 'rewired' in the areas that tell difference between these virtual memories and their real memories. Probably not permanently, so it'll be like the most vivid dream anyone could have had, but still a dream. So yes, only Coulson breaks it (so far), and only because of the previous…

Bingo. You got what I've been waiting to see someone notice. They're in a Grant Ward Sim. (This is also a hint that Framework Ward will either sacrifice himself for them to escape, or leave with them and become a true Agent of SHIELD.. LMD or something.)

He's not aware of the virtual nature of the Framework, or at least he doesn't believe it. He thinks it is just an alternate realm, not virtual, and that others are trying to mindscrew him, not Aida trying to mindscrew him. He, like all the others (Coulson had a mental opening), believes in their reality as real…

Ward will escape it with the rest, he'll have a LMD, and be a good guy but as such, so disturbed that the Framework was destroyed and uncertain about what he should be.

I can see May after this rising to be an inspirational figure for once, instead of the relative glimpses we've seen of that part of her before. Hating what she did in the Framework, but very glad to put that behind her (she's most easily separating the realms in her mentality) and really knowing what sorts of things…

This'll show a 'true' (BIG quotes there) 'fall of HYDRA' before any future potential 'real' one in the show or otherwise. And at least this season will cement these characters as the true Agents of SHIELD (in all sorts of accomplishments) of the MCU.

If there's any good argument for God in my atheist mind, its that the existence of existence itself has boundaries that even God cannot break - and this includes the human concept of regret being required for future goods, albeit in ways that we cannot reliably calculate. (repentance from sin, etc)

Please don't get me praying for a AOS film that probably won't happen. (I can even imagine it - a starter to get people used to knowing SHIELD is back and then off on a final journey - unless ticket sales are huge.)
