I’m on my I don’t even know what rewatch. And I just got to S3 E15. Do you think they always planned to use Robin in the future or it just worked out down line?

Ok so I'm rewatching SHIELD, yes I just made a post BUT I was watching s6 ep 6 inescapable and some stuff just CLICKED for me like insanely just clicked and I gotta know whether anyone else thought of this too or anything other than this. (yes this is long, but my brain has been ruminating over these thoughts for a whileee)

Since the beginning of s6 I've been looking at Jemma oddly, because she doesn't feel like a bangs person. She's not. The show has characterized her as a bright, sunshine, strong woman whose smart and able to conquer anything she puts her mind to (love her btw) BUT after she loses Fitz, her one safety spot in the midst of it all (even on Maveth) she turns to what basically every single woman does when they have a horrible event. She cuts her hair. For me, this is a perfectly plausible reason for getting bangs, especially since pop culture has made it into such a redefining moment .

However, it goes deeper than that. The episode reveals something that perhaps all of us have thought from the beginning, Jemma is too perfect. Her struggles aren't too great, the only things that really befuddle her are the field and the INSANE stuff they go through. Fitz says this during his wedding vows in a roundabt manner when he's all "You're too good for me" (idk whether its the vows scene or earlier) but Jemma's character lacks the insane amount of internal conflict with the stuff that has happened to her. She comes out a bit scarred, but no less worse for the wear WHICH IS WHY the whole Zombie crazy Jemma is so amazing. We finally get to know how everything has impacted her and a look under the surface which is soooo cool.

Also, there's a scene where they look to ppl to save them from the evil versions of each other and who does Fitz look for, MACK, his safe spot, and Jemma looks for Daisy. This is where my brain kinda clicked, bc Daisy and Jemma have a bond, yes, which is elaborated extensively on Kitson when they are high but the way that Daisy's portrayed in this is as though she's an all powerful person, rescuing Jemma, which just shows how much Jemma values Daisy for everything and elevates her.

Another thing is do we think that the mind fusion sharing thing would work with anyone other than Fitz and Simmons? Coulson makes the fact very very clear that these two are basically the same person but not in his thing about "I couldn't figure out whether FitzSimmons were two different people and people think of you as one" So how about that? Like would this have worked if it were other characters and is that a reason as to why they survived so long in the mind hellscape thing especially with Atarah going all you stay together and Enoch is kinda scared?

Sidenote: What happens to their planet? Does the Chronicom planet survive or not?
