The finale is here for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s first season. It was a great one for a shaky season. Although it is the first season, so the later ones can improve.
We finally reached the end of this season's main villain: Garrett and Centipede. The ending for Garrett was actually pretty fun. Seeing him go crazy after being injected with the miracle drug was interesting as it could possibly happen to Skye and Coulson too. His demise was good too, his demise coming twice actually. Having Mike stomp him down was good as I really wanted Mike to get through this season as a good guy. I also love how Coulson took him down with the plasma cannon thing. It was funny and a great job of pulling the rug from underneath the audience.
The scenes with Fitz and Simmons was so good and shows that these two were definitely the best characters in this show. Seeing Fitz proclaim his love for Simmons with his words and actions was so touching and I really want Simmons to reciprocate it. Hopefully we get it next season.
It was great to have another appearance with SPOILERS Fury as he saved FitzSimmons and helped Coulson stop Garrett. It's awesome that these crossovers can happen to show how much Marvel wants to appease fans and critics.
In the end we get the team reaching a new base, with a new Koenig, but more important, Coulson etching symbols into the wall, like Garrett. This could lead to some great plot lines in the next season.
It does seem like some plot lines fell through though, like Quinn and the gravitonium and Mike (who still looks goofy in his plastic body armor)
