S.H.I.E.L.D.i agendid Farewell, Cruel World! (2013– ) Online

I'm not going to get into the details. The simple fact of the matter is that since AOS entered the framework story arc, we have witnessed what is arguably the best sequence of episodes in television history. I challenge anyone to show me a 6 episode block of Breaking Bad that is as incredible as this has been. And this episode here...holy $!$@!$. Probably the best of the entire series, topping the "Self Control" episode. I simply cannot believe that the writers had such an explosion left in them this late in a series that's supposed to be on its deathbed. It's like AOS is saying "You will remember us." In years to come, AOS will be appreciated and develop a cult following. That will be in no small part due to what will eventually come to be regarded as legendary - the Framework arc.

I don't want to say anything prematurely because good shows often have a way of messing up the finales but if the next two episodes are anything like what we have seen in the last few weeks then this storyline could be Marvels most amazing production to date. It was a bit of a bummer that Brett Dalton had no role in this episode (especially to those people who wanted him to return through project looking glass) but the way they have set up the Finale is just brilliant. I still hope the writers bring a character or two back from the framework. It would be interesting to see what now becomes of radcliffe in the framework considering he is aware that Fitz has built the machine and I can only imagine what AIDA has planned next for Fitz. All I can say with certainty is this: After THIS Episode alone if Marvels does not extend this show for Season 5 it would be nothing short of cruel.

It looks like this story arc has concluded with Agent Coulson and the other characters finally getting back to the real world. But wait! We still have more episodes before this season is done. Anyway, I admit that the first half of this episode isn't "that" good, but the second half definitely makes up for it. I just love the idea of all the characters in an imaginary world and having them figuring out which of the other characters are real or not. We finally get to see them go back and we make another great advancement as Aida finally gets a human body. She ends up teleporting away with Fitz or something.

It's also interesting to see the other characters actually allow Mac to stay in the world with his deceased daughter in the real world, Hope. Okay, I doubt that's going to last, but it's a still an original and innovative idea. The way every single character has gone through so much development in these episodes is so impressive. Everyone contributes to the story so wonderfully. The scenes are so wonderfully set up with how dramatic everything is. I'm glad to see how this continues. ****

One of the most intense episodes in my TV watching career. For one who is totally invested in the series this was nail biting. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. When the one problem is solved there is another bigger problem around the corner. The plot I think is complicated but I think they pull it of with class. This is starting to be one of the best arc's from any series. I really hope the series can finish with an even bigger blow and some surprises.

I've had ENOUGH of characters standing around giving agonizingly long monologues while the very universe is coming to an end around them. Cut out that stupidity and this episode would have had an entirely different ending. Oh, but the writers couldn't have that now, could they, since they'd like to string us along for another few seasons! All the out-of-place dialog in this episode served the same purpose as characters in a horror movie forgetting to flip the damned light switch.

I was a big fan, but this episode killed my enthusiasm. They find the freaking portal and they have 10 long conversations before jumping through. And Daisy leaves Mack in the unreal world, when she could easily have used her powers to knock him out and drag him through to the real world. Annoyingly stupid.
