Boy it's been a while since I posted anything. I went on a trip with my family, and have been busy with other things, etc.
If anyone reading this knows me at all (or maybe reads some of my other posts) they will know that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is my favorite show of all time. Like, if I had to choose between eating ice cream and watching S.H.I.E.L.D., I would choose S.H.I.E.L.D. I love the characters, I love the plot, I love the action, the romance, and I am way too invested in the lives of these characters. The finale of season 3 is tonight, and I am freaking out.
I mean, I've been freaking out about this finale since we had the mid-season premiere a while back, and it foreshadowed the death of a character. I just thought initially that the person who died wouldn't be someone I really cared about too much, and that I'd be okay. However, recent footage and events lead me to believe that one of my favorite characters could be kicking the can tonight. I'm going to go in depth concerning all the characters who could possibly die and why I think they will or won't.
WARNING: Spoilers for much of the second half of season 3, and I'm also theorizing about events in the finale, so some people may consider this spoilers.
First of all, I'm going to tell you about the vision of death in case anyone forgot the specifics. It starts out as a view of the Earth from above, and zooms back to reveal that the point of view is inside the control room of some sort of spaceship. As it keeps panning back, you see a gold cross necklace floating in the frame, along with drops of what appears to be blood. The camera pans back a bit more so that you can see a S.H.I.E.L.D. logo shoulder patch on a jacket someone is wearing. You cannot tell if the blood is from this person (although it's implied) and you cannot tell who the person is. Then the spaceship blows up.
Now, they introduced a character named Elena who wears a cross necklace that looks exactly like the one in the death scene, so at first I thought that they would kill her off at the end of the season. But now the necklace has started to switch owners, so it's no longer clear who will be dying. It will be one of the main cast, so it could be Coulson, May, Fitz, Simmons, Daisy, Mack, Elena, Lincoln, or Joey. However, considering that whoever dies is in space, we can eliminate several people on account of them not being likely sent to space.
Let's start with who definitely won't die, Coulson and Daisy. Now, I could be totally wrong, but I've tried to reason all this out as clearly as possible.
Coulson won't die because, well, he's Coulson. The man already died once! He's also the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. now, so there's no reason that his team would allow him to go into space even if he wants to because he's needed. I also doubt that he would come into possession of the cross necklace because while he is a bit of a father figure to most of the team, he is still the director and slightly separated from the friendship he might have with them otherwise.
Daisy will not die because she's kind of the main character. She'll also probably be locked up either in a cell or a hospital bed considering the events of the last couple of episodes. So no chance of going to space, and since she can't be trusted much right now, not much chance of getting the necklace.
Now some people who probably won't die, but still could, May, Lincoln, and Joey.
I do not think that Joey will die. There is a chance, but still it probably is not him. He's only been around since the beginning of the season, hasn't been in many episodes, and even if we like him nobody's really that invested in him yet, so it wouldn't be much of a shock to the audience. However, he is skilled in his powers and some combat related things, so he could be sent to space, and is kind of friends with Elena (original owner of the cross necklace) who might give it to him
Lincoln, unfortunately, will probably survive til the next season. I don't like him much, and most viewers seem to similarly dislike him, as do most of the characters on the show (excluding Daisy). So if they killed Lincoln, pretty much no one would care. However, because of his impulsive nature, it is possible that he could decide that he is the one who should go into space, and possibly just go without permission. And, like Joey, he is friends with Elena, so he could potentially be given the necklace.
May is a bit different. There was a comic book cover release last month regarding the yet unrevealed fallen agent that mirrored the cover image on the death of Gwen Stacy comic. On the cover, May's face is in the same place that Gwen Stacy's was. So either May will die or the writers are having a grand old time throwing us red herrings left and right. If you think about it, though, she doesn't really know Elena on a personal level, and probably doesn't have the skill set required to go to space. So May probably won't receive the necklace or get on a space ship.
Now for the people that I think have a really good chance of dying tonight, Elena, Fitz, Simmons, and Mack.
Elena is one of these people mainly because the necklace belongs to her. However, she also hasn't been on the show for long and likely wouldn't be sent to space, so there's a good chance for her survival.
Mack could very possibly die. Regarding the necklace, he has already been given it by Elena because the two of them have grown quite close. In the case of the jacket, we've seen most of the agents wear one, including him. Likely hood of being sent to space? I'd say pretty high. He is very good with technical things, and so would be a good choice to fly a space ship. We could be losing Alphonso Mackenzie.
Now, Fitzsimmons. We'll consider them as an entity first, and then separately. For some reason, the writers seem to love hurting these two, especially at the end of the seasons. End of season one, Fitz told Simmons he loved her, but she didn't love him back, and then he went into a coma from lack of oxygen after they survived being dumped on the ocean floor. End of season two, Fitz asks Simmons out, and then a giant alien rock eats her. Anyone else sensing a pattern here? First something concerning their romantic relationship, and then a gut-wrenching plot twist that throws everything in the dirt. This season has seen Fitzsimmons finally, FINALLY get together, so what else could the writers do but kill one or both of them?
Simmons is less likely to die. While it is very possible she could be given the necklace or wear the jacket, it is highly unlikely that she will be sent into space because she is a biochemist and not an engineer, not exactly who you'd want to send to space, unless she were to go with Fitz for some reason.
As much as it physically hurts me to say this, Fitz is the most likely to die out of everyone I've listed so far. He's a fan-favorite, the writers love doing something awful to Fitzsimmons at the end of every season, he's worn the jacket with the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo, he's buddies with Mack and might be given the cross necklace, and he would be an excellent choice to send into space. I really think he will die, and if I'm right I really will contact the writers and yell at them. Honestly, though, if I were one of the writers of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and had to choose someone to kill that would shock and ruin the lives of everyone watching the show, I would choose Fitz.
So I'm only theorizing about who dies, and not how they defeat HIVE or anything else like that. I could be completely wrong, or completely right. I will post again after I watch the finale.
