death by flail

- There you are, buddy. You had me worried. I got you, Turbo.
- Hope you saved some energy, ‘cause my leg’s pinned. I think it’s broke. You’re gonna have to carry me out.
- Got you, Turbo. You just…
- I think it’s a bad break, ‘cause I can’t feel it.
- Relax, buddy. You just breathe. Just breathe.

Tags: i hate this show i love this show this scene and the spy's goodbye after this are perfect examples why i was completely devastated weeping at the almost callous careless death of a character we love so much and then it turned out that goddamn spy's goodbye was for coulson!!!!! and that simmons had remembered about cryo!fitz!!!! but we were all still mourning and i was ugly crying all over myself and my god this fucking show LOOK AT MAY'S CRYING FACE FUCK MY LIFE i thought that was for coulson (it was in the trailer) and it was somehow worse because it was for one of her ducklings???? every time a member of this shield family is endangered my heart dies a little bit i'm still processing how i feel about this fakeout like i objectively think it's BRILLIANT storytelling and so fucking clever there's something so poetic about fitz believing that time is fixed - even as he's the living proof that it's fluid and changeable and i'm so glad that the fitz we'll have in season six did not do what this fitz did to daisy i'm still fucking mad that they haven't properly addressed that and have instead made it seem like daisy was overreacting (!!!!!!) i like that there'll be tension going forward because the other agents know what fitz is capable of but he hasn't done anything dr fitzy yet but also wiping out fitz's character development from season 5 - including his wedding and his grandson - is kinda not great and not showing the discussions that went on before they realised they still had cryo!fitz is very irritating it's the same thing with may and coulson - we deserve to see the conversations the characters have to get them to where they are on screen i mean i get that the storytelling twist works better without showing all of that but u g h AS A FAN I WANT TO SEE THEM TALK that scene with simmons immediately understanding that fitz had died on the mission was SO beautifully played by elizabeth henstridge but i hope in season six we get to hear what it was like for her to take in that heartbreaking loss before she realises he's still out there overall i liked it because it was ruinous to my life and emotions but omfg this fucking show agents of shield leo fitz melinda may alphonso mackenzie
