First and foremost, SPOILER ALERT. Especially in the case of a SEASON FINALE. But with that out of the way, let’s move onto this heartbreaking double episode finale of Season 3 of Agents of SHIELD.

Since the beginning of the mid-season return, we have all wondered who was inevitably going to suffer from this lonely death. We knew a few things: they would die aboard a SHIELD aircraft, they would somehow be looking down on Earth from space, and if you weren’t scared already, the person was most definitely going to be a SHIELD agent. So get ready to hold back those tears again as we remember… Lincoln Campbell. After approximately a season and a half, the first real love of our (no longer) little girl Daisy, has met his end.

Although Lincoln was a character that most had yet to make a connection, it was undeniable that Lincoln had potential to mean so much more to, not only the Agents of SHIELD, but to Daisy. He represented Daisy’s final hope for a real relationship with amazing possibilities. Many of which could have lead to something resembling a normal life. But I guess the vigilante path is much cooler. But imagine the 2 of them fighting crime side by side. 2 badasses with tremendous skills and abilities. They could spin-off and make a series together… Wait, this is starting to sound too familiar. Anyway. what better way to send off a beloved character than with the good ol’ “Jesus” Death.

But of course, we can’t forget the other half of what was lost in this finale. Hive/Ward/Will/Malick’s brother. Dead. As big of a win it was to kill Hive, we can’t deny that the death of Ward was pretty significant. And I don’t exactly mean that in a good way. Ward was no normal villain, his character had depth that is quite rare in the MCU - excluding the villains of Hell’s Kitchen. Discovering his past lead our feelings through one hell of a roller coaster, and now that we’ve reached the end of the ride, it’s quite saddening. Nonetheless, Agents of SHIELD lost 2 amazing and meaningful characters. So let's all raise a parting shot… I swear this sounds familiar.
