AVClub is now reporting it has been renewed.

Re: Remember that, emotionally, she's less than a day old. She doesn't have toddler-level emotions, she has baby-level emotions.

Yes, Reign and Vampire Diaries knew well in advance it was going to be their last season. (TVD should have ended sooner; it was running on fumes for the last few seasons; Reign still has some life left in it and could easily have gone on another season).

Re: Blaine has the recipe for Ravi's memory enhancer which, as far as we know, does nothing.

I don't think there'd be any way to bring Australian deities to America, but Aztec and Mayan gods brought north by Mexican immigrants would be a possibility— as would Voodun gods brought from the Caribbean via Florida and New Orleans.

That's another interpretation I hadn't considered. I was thinking that "immortality" would consist of making a fresh new body to jump into when the old one started wearing out (something done in some futuristic SciFi I've read), like buying a new car when the old one starts to turn into a money pit.

And possibly Aida is the only one who knows how to do that safely.

Even when GhostRider first disappeared the show hinted at his return. Coulson (or someone, forget who) said "I don't think we've seen the last of him."

Mack, yes. But I'm leery about making Aida's machine a Universal Resurrection Machine. That has too many implications. Besides which it was built with Darkhold knowledge which suggests there could be some nasty devil in the details of its use.

Or at least the only one who knows how to (although maybe Radcliffe does too)

Radcliffe, not Daisy, made the decision to toss Fitz through the portal. Radcliffe isn't a good guy; he doesn't have to respect anyone's choices— but more importantly if Fitz stayed in the Framework he'd be running Hydra. Leaving Evil Fitz in the Framework would be a bad, bad idea.

Aida's magical body creator machine would create a body that never ages?

Won't Fitz know how to use the machine? It was as much his invention as Aida's

I'm hoping they get rid of the Russian guy early on in the finale. I am totally over his character. I thought he had gone off on the mission to take out Daisy and Jenna's plane and they and YpoYo would put an end to him. And if he was still at Aida's lair what was he up to for most of the episode? Drinking vodka…

True, but the shows isn't "The Adventures of Phil Coulson". Daisy, May, Fitz and Simmons all have first rank roles. (Mack, Bobby, Hunter and Trip were somewhat secondary, and Ward was the main villain by the end of season 1 through season 3)

The Framework is just a digital reality (confirmed pretty solidly when Coulson exited) so how can they teleport, bodies and all, into it? Even if Aida can now access the Framework without gear, and can do the same for Fitz, you'd think they'd still leave two unconscious bodies behind.

Even in her scene shopping with Charlotte, she transcends the air-headed bimbo role— you get the impression there's someone home even if her surface persona is still quite ditzy. Even Charlotte tunes into this afterward though not realizing how total the con on her is.

Disclaimer: I never read the comics.
But on the topic of books vs shows, I don't think the issue should ever be how much they diverge, but whether the changes a show (or movie) introduces are good ones or not. To cite some examples, Starz "The White Princess" is making Elizabeth of York a character with much more…

Re: But the re-rise of Evangelical Christianity is not a non-factor under his presidency.

OK, I am picking nits maybe, but Allah = God ("Allah" is just the Arabic word for God, or more literally "the God" since Arabic uses the definite article more extravagantly than English does. But Arabic Christians use that word for God too).
