Phil Coulson in AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. (2016) | 3.19 - Failed Experiments

This may be our only chance to catch Hive by surprise. And worst-case scenario, if Hive can't be killed? I suggest running... very fast... away.

the thing about agents of shield that's so important is that it's all about hope

you can change the timeline and you can talk people down from the edge and you can save lives and you make a difference

it's literally all about "becoming part of something bigger"

aos is all about showing us that there is always hope

it's never too late for a ragtag team or even just one person to try their hardest

and it won't always work out but the important thing is that you always have to try

and i just think that's beautiful

ok like. i maintain that S1 of agents of shield is one of the best written seasons of tv ever. like. it’s so well done. the clairvoyant reveal? is SO fucking clever. the WARD REVEAL?? soooo well done. honestly this season is a masterpiece and everyone should know it

important opinion about grant ward

hands down he was the most EFFECTIVE villain.

Like, i JUST argued (respectfully) over this on pinterest. In my humble yet never wrong opinion i think that Ward was the most effective bad buy of the whole show BECAUSE of the history he had with the team. whenever another villain tried to hurt like ACTUALLY hurt the team it didn't feel as impactful or meaningful as when it was WARD who was their FRIEND.

ruby hale threatening fitz by throwing knives near simmons' head? meh, but grant ward, after their bond mission, after everything they went through, THREATENING FITZ BY LETTING HIM HEAR SIMMONS' SCREAMS WHILE TORTURED?!?!?! now THAT'S good, THAT makes me feel something.

Hive being the reason why Lincoln, who at the moment was daisy's love of her life, gets to die? meh, grant ward killing rosalind, who at the moment was coulson's love girl - AFTER HAVING A SCENE IN SEASON ONE WHERE THEY TALK ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO FIND LOVE AS SPIES - killing rosalind? BRO that is WORSE.

also, the foreshadowing in season one?? ward telling skye that as a shield agent you have to make the hard call when his death would be coulson making a hard call? insane.

i hate ward but i LOVE hating him. it was the only villain that - me at least - feel that really haunted the team, everything felt WAY more personal and honestly i dont hate that he stayed that long in the show.

AITA for trying to save my friends’ life?

I know the title might make this seem obvious, but apparently everyone is mad at me.

I (30M) have these two coworkers who have become friends, let’s call them L (26M) and J (26F). Anonymous post since I work for the government.

Anyway, I’ve worked with J and L for roughly six months. They’re pretty nerdy and awkward, so I thought I’d be nice and try to be friendly with them. I don’t understand most of what they say and they’re honestly really annoying, so this was a very charitable gesture on my part. Since they’re highly intelligent, the relationship does have certain benefits in the field.

On to the issue at hand. As I mentioned, I work for the government. So my SO (supervising officer) informed me of a covert operation that was of immediate importance and I was assigned to go undercover with J and L since their branch was under investigation.

At the end of the assignment we’re meant to cut ties completely, which I was prepared for. However, as it progressed it became evident that my SO expected me to terminate these agents. I’m trying to be vague as this is all highly sensitive, you understand.

But I’d become rather attached to J and L, they really are like awkward little lizards you keep around to add ambience, and I thought they could be valuable in the future. The idea of killing them was not appealing.

So, I made a very, in my opinion, logical choice to do what I could to save their lives. Instead of shooting them in the head as I was expected to do, I jettisoned them out of an airlock in a containment pod over the ocean.

I know that might sound bad, but as I mentioned they are incredibly intelligent and could plausibly find a way to escape (which, to be clear, they DID). I think this was an admirably ingenious decision, since I’d be clear with my SO as no regular person could have survived this, but also clear by J and L since I gave them a chance.

But now my SO is angry with me and insisting that I should have personally finished the job, plus I’ve heard through my contacts that J and L are “furious” with me and feel “betrayed?” Which seems very clearly irrational to me since I saved their lives.

So, AITA for saving my friends’ life and completing my assignment?

Edit: Yes, I suppose this could be construed as “attempted murder,” but the whole thing is that they SURVIVED as I knew they would.

Edit: Okay guys, stop attacking me. If you lack reading comprehension, just say that. I SAVED THEIR LIVES because they definitely would have died if I hadn’t done what I did. And I don’t know where some of you got this idea that I’m in Hydra, because I’m not. But even if I was, that doesn’t make me a Nazi. I swear, you’re all so dramatic. Like watch the news?? SHIELD were the terrorists, and Hydra was only briefly associated with Nazis in the 1940s. But this is all besides the point! I kept this anonymous for a reason. You know doxxing is a crime right?? Which I know because I’m a government agent, okay?? Do you understand the concept of a low profile? Obviously i can’t tell you what branch of government I’m in, but I’m not Hydra. Calm down.

Edit: Also! I was literally abused as a child, okay? So maybe I’m not great at forming friendships, but it’s not my fault. My brother gave me some profound trust issues and this is NOT helping. And I have, like, PTSD from all the incredibly confidential cases I’ve been involved in. You know you’re basically attacking a veteran, right? You should be thanking me for everything I’ve done for this country. It’s actually really ableist. And this is not a platform for all your Hydra conspiracy theories okay? You’re completely derailing my original post with irrelevant speculation.

Edit: You can stop now! I get it. You think I’m the asshole. Whatever. And I am not “crashing out,” okay? As if I care about the opinions of a bunch of teenagers on Reddit. And that’s what it is: and opinion!! That doesn’t make you right. I’m deleting this.
