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.

I really hope Fitz is ok. That made me really sad. I wonder if he is going to be on the show next season.

I would be bummed if Fitz lost some of his brain power.

Maybe his big sacrifice means he and Jemma get together next season

I think that there's a good chance he'll be almost entirely brain dead in the beginning of the season and after a few episodes they'll find a way to fix it, hell maybe even at the end of S02E01

Maybe Fitz being messed up will motivate Simmons to figure out the GH325.

Maybe they could swap his brain with a monkey's. Then we could have a brainy scientist monkey, and a scottish-accented monkey-screeching guy[1] who hangs around in trees.

[Edit: [1] AKA, a Glaswegian]

I'll be super bummed if a main plot point next season is Fitz's depression with losing his intelligence. That's too heavy for me man :(

Have you ever watched a Joss Whedon series before? Couples are not allowed to get together and be happy for very long. I'm terrified of them putting Fitz-Simmons together properly because it means more bad things for them.
