She doing that test to root out Hydra agents from real Shield agents. I thought her offing Garrett like that was referencing how Ward did that to her.

From what I’ve personally seen with people who were raised by people with different accents, they always seem to end up with a weird hodgepodge accent themselves.
Especially since they stranded him in 1983 (didn’t they?). I’d like to see sixty-something Deke still trying to rock out with the cool kids. Fitzsimmons might even be great grand-parents in that timeline.
It’s a quibble, but it bothered me that Alya’s accent was neither Fitz’s nor Simmons’ (nor Enoch’s for that matter) when she was raised by them in isolation.
Same. After Avengers: Endgame and before this season, I thought he would have lived the rest of his life as a dedicated but lonely SHIELD agent with a cane for the rest of the twentieth century. I’m glad he got a new life, a new leg and a new love.
Mallory Jansen affected an American accent as AIDA but used her native Aussie accent as Agnes.
Also: In both Arabic & Turkish, Alya means “Sky(e).”
One thing I’ve always liked about this show was all of the characters played by actors speaking with (at least more or less) their natural non-American accents. Just among the main cast you had:
I would like to thank you, Alex, for these reviews and giving us space to talk and obsess over the show. Or just spill out all that came to our minds (often excessively in my case). It was fun ride and I’m happy to have done it together.
I almost wanted a flash take on Deke in his timeline. “We’re the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ... and we’re here to rock the house down!!” (electric power guitar riff) Like they’re in some wacko Josie and the Pussycats style timeline that the actual comic books surely would have mirrored in the 80's. Young Victoria Hand on…
It still makes me chuckle to think back on the comments during the first season—when people seemed to haaa-aaa—ate Sky with such passion (a homeless hacker—HA!) and despise vanilla Ward and only had good things to say about Melinda May or maybe Coulson now and then.
I see it as May coming full circle. She is the new Mentor, which is why they showed Flint with her at the Academy. It fits with her being the trainer and the Mama. And it leaves her free to be The Cavalry once her mentees are out in the field. Think of it like she’s doing QA...or is Hands-On Senior Management vs.…
May is my favorite too. I maybe hoped for something different for her at the end—is she a therapist now, like her ex husband Andrew, but less homicidal? I guess being a lecturer at the SHIELD academy is not bad though
Am I overthinking that? Do I just want a Quake-Nebula teamup too much?
Was Daisy bailing on the virtual reunion because she was getting ready to “enter a Nebula” supposed to sound like a sexy reference to her fellow Marvel sexy space adventuress?
Sousa was such a great addition this season. I loved him surprise kissing Daisy and then her kissing him back, the exact opposite of their kiss in the time loop, which Daisy would have remembered, though he didn’t.
I thought this was a satisfying enough finale. Regardless of everyone’s thoughts, however, I’m really proud of this show for exceeding every possible expectation. It managed to outlast all the more high-profile Marvel shows, develop C-listers into beloved characters while inventing new beloved ones, and end on its own…
Being Ming Na and IO are the same age, May has always been my favorite part of this show. A Kick Ass Middle-Aged Warrior! We need more of these in the media. ;)
So Daisy: Agent of S.W.O.R.D.
