Two Ideas for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5

As I’ve talked about previously, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been renewed for season 5.  Last week’s article went into detail on everything we know so far.  This week, I’m going to play the “wild speculation game” and try to guess at what might be happening during this next season.

I actually have a couple different thoughts on how this can play out.  First, we’re going to talk about the potential of completely changing the format of the series.  Then, we’re going to talk about a hybrid format which retains the “pods” from season 4 but incorporates some elements of my new format idea.

Before we get started, there is one assumption I am making:  Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to take at least 3 Fridays off next season.  Given that the show is going to be on Friday nights, it would not make sense for them to air episodes on the U.S. release dates of Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War since they would be in direct competition with their own studio’s movie (and they would lose).  Likewise, I hope/expect that they will skip Good Friday.  So based on this assumption, the season would last until June 22 if they air all single episodes.  But note the “if.”

Weekly MCU Review for May 27

Another week, and more MCU news!  This week is a bit light since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is already out and Spider-Man: Homecoming is still over a month away, but we did get a new trailer for the latter.  Put some ketchup on your eggs, and catch-up on your Marvel news!

Hints at Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5

Last week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season finale certainly ended on a few twists and surprises as it wrapped up the Darkhold, LMD, and Framework storylines in a rather satisfying manner.  However, now that season 4 is over, there’s no time like the present to start thinking about season 5, which they announced just in time for the season finale.

There are a couple tidbits from the season finale which hint at what is in store in season 5, but let’s start off by talking about the things which we absolutely know for certain.  Ready?

Season 5 will have 22 episodes starting in January 2018 and airing without breaks (we will talk a little more about that next week, but for now we will leave it alone).

With that out of the way, let’s talk about the hints in the season finale and what we can infer from them.

Obviously, there will be spoilers, so if you haven’t seen the season finale, GO WATCH IT, ALREADY!

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 Finale, "World's End" REVIEW (SPOILERS)

So last night was the season 4 finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it was quite a rollercoaster ride.  There were the expected ups and downs, but I don’t think any of them were nearly as surprising as the episode’s conclusion.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4, Episode 22, "World's End" EXPECTATIONS

Sorry this is going up so late, and that my Iron Fist article didn’t get done yesterday.  It’s been a busy weekend, but hopefully everything will be coming out on time this week.  Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season four ends tonight with the season finale, “World’s End” (4x22) at 10:00 PM Eastern/Pacific.  What do we expect from tonight's season finale?

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4, Episode 21, "The Return" REVIEW (SPOILERS)

Well, before getting into the review itself, here is how Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. connects to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2:  it doesn’t.  There aren’t any potential spoilers in the episode if you haven’t seen the movie yet, so don’t worry about it.  Both are good in their own right, so see both of them; it doesn’t matter what order you do it in.

Of course, since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ostensibly takes place in 2014, it shouldn’t be too surprising that there’s no reference to those events in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.—uh… spoilers?  I don’t think that’s a spoiler.

With that out of the way, let’s get into the episode itself.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4, Episode 20, "Farewell, Cruel World!" REVIEW (SPOILERS)

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to impress this season, as the team races to leave the Framework before AIDA finishes constructing her new body and no longer needs the Framework.  In many ways, this episode’s focus is primarily on setup and not on telling its own story, but at this point in the season that’s not the worst thing.  It does a great job of setting up what is going to happen in the next two episodes.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4, Episode 20, "Farewell, Cruel World!" EXPECTATIONS
