That was certainly a very eventful episode. It's a shame Aida couldn't stay good. She was nice for a few minutes! The actress has done a great job playing all the different versions of the character.
I like how quickly Charles Vane went from "I hate being a robot" to "it's actually lots of fun being a robot."
The finale was good in that a lot of stuff happened and they tied up most of the season's stories (except I guess the Russian is still out there?) but it felt really rushed. Like it was a two hour episode squeezed into one hour. Don't they normally have two hour finales, actually? I'm sure they did before. Did they get told at the last minute "sorry you only have one hour this year!"? So some things went by so fast it was hard to know if they made sense (where did they get a Simmons LMD?) and Aida's death felt a bit underwhelming for such a good character. Radcliffe actually got a far better final scene.
But anyway, it was the best season they've done and hopefully next year's will be as good (they'll have a lot of time to write it since it probbaly won't start until 2018!) and I have no idea why Coulson's in space.
Yeah, that was a good season finale. Maybe Coulson being in space was the secret, but how would they know it was coming? WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR TO FIND OUT
When Chloe Bennet started out in Hollywood, her last name was Wang. The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actress, who is Chinese-American, changed it because she thought it would help her book more roles. Unsurprisingly in Hollywood, it worked. Recently, after praising Ed Skrein, the white actor who recently left the Hellboy reboot after learning he was cast to play a character who is Japanese-American in the comic books, Bennet was taken to task by a commenter on Instagram, who asked her why she changed her name to obscure her racial identity. She explained that her decision was an unfortunate one that had everything to do with her circumstances:
“Changing my last name doesn’t change the fact that my BLOOD is half Chinese, that I lived in China, speak Mandarin or that I was culturally raised both American and Chinese… It means I had to pay my rent, and Hollywood is racist and wouldn’t cast me with a last name that made them uncomfortable,” Bennet said. “I’m doing everything I can, with the platform I have, to make sure no one has to change their name again, just so they can get work.” Part of Bennet’s effort: an organization she founded called RUN (Represent Us Now), which advocates for Asian-American and Pacific Islander talent.
