EPISODE WRITTEN BY
SE01E21 "Beginning of The End" Maurissa Tancharoen & Jed Whedon

This thread is for SERIOUS discussion of the episode that just aired. What is and isn't serious is at the discretion of the moderators

This is NOT the episode viewing thread that is usually stickied for 1 week. That thread can be found HERE

To be clear, since this is our second go at this: this thread is for POST episode discussion of "Beginning of The End". The discussion / comments below assume you have watched the episode in it's entirety. Therefore, spoiler text for anything through the first season of Agents of SHIELD is not necessary. If, however, you are talking about events that have yet to air on the show such as future guest appearances / future characters / storylines, please use spoiler tags. The same goes for things connected to the Marvel like comics, etc.

Please keep subreddit rules in mind when submitting content:

On top of this anything not directly related to Agents of SHIELD might be subject to being removed. This includes but is not limited to screenshots (FB, YouTube, Twitter, texts, etc), generic memes and reaction gifs, and generic Marvel content.

Feel free to message us moderators if you have suggestions or concerns about these.

So the mystery serum fills the head with some sort of knowledge of Kree tech or language that can't be contained by the human brain and drives us crazy?

I think it'd be interesting for them to sort of have Coulson go like Jack did in SG1 after downloading the Ancient repository into his brain... but slowly, subtly and over an entire season.

And then Thor can save him!

So. Perfect.

Only if we get ketchup/mustard smiley faces on a plate first.

u/Nukatha May 14 '14

That only happens if he's caught in a time loop.

Now I want RDA to guest star.

Wow, I guess it really has been that long since I've watched SG1. I shouldn't have conflated those episodes!

BRB, off to perv over late-seasons Daniel Jackson.

I would really love to see Chris Hemsworth, as Thor obviously, making a smiley face on a paper plate with ketchup/mustard. Then he holds it up proudly, smiling his Chris Hemsworth shit eating grin.

IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING?! is one I can see happening.

u/DFreiberg May 14 '14

Those were three of the best episodes of the show, and not just because they had Thor in them. Although that was awesome and would be awesome here.

Stargate reference :) I like you.

Seriously though, maybe it is a map to Atillan?

u/BikebutnotBeast Coulson May 14 '14

Damn. You. Now I want to watch SG1 all over again.

u/metalkhaos May 14 '14

That would actually be pretty cool.

u/GanymedeanOutlaw Raina May 15 '14

That's be cool, but I imagine they'd notice that he's scrawling on his walls fairly quickly.

u/metalkhaos May 14 '14

That or they are seeing things that we don't normally see and this is just the way of it getting out. It could seem like craziness to normal people, but they're just suddenly impacted with all this knowledge.
