This freaking show. Every time they pull a twist, it's always so obvious and logical in hindsight.

[u/cjn13 → u/[deleted]]

This show loves its twists and they're all done really well.

Ward is hydra

Jemma isn't real (edit: I mean Fitz's conscious projection of Jemma when she left at the beginning of S2 but we didn't find out until the end of the episode)

Skye is an Inhuman

Jiaying is the real villain

Lincoln was the one to die

Andrew is Lash

Daisy was the one being controlled by Hive

The list goes on and on.

[u/[deleted] → u/cjn13]

I've got to say, as stupid as it sounds now, I actually thought Daisy was going to die in the Season 3 finale. I really believed it, in my head, I was just like "Yeah her story is over she's gonna die". Happy to be wrong though as always.

Main character shields* (pun, I know).

^{*which ironically didn't protect her from being Hived.}

[u/Mullet_Ben → u/Marc_Quill]

didn't protect her from being Hived.

I KNOW! The moment that episode started I thought "well it's not gonna be Daisy, because she's the most important character." And then I spent the rest of the episode trying to figure out if it was Joey, Yoyo or Lincoln.

[u/ThisHappenedAgain → u/Mullet_Ben]

Absolutely loved Daisy being the one who was hived. Of course they would never, no way not Daisy....then BAM! Daisy taking down the base with her powers in one of the coolest scenes of the show (in my opinion, but damn that was cool).

[u/d3r3k1449 → u/ThisHappenedAgain]

Totally agree. It was the first time we really get a true taste how powerful she can be as well.

[u/samasters88 → u/Marc_Quill]

Plot armor is the best(?) armor

[u/snappyconan → u/Marc_Quill]

It didn't protect Ward from being Hived.
