Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Has Announced Date For Season 5 & My Reception So Far

Me & Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have a strange relationship. I don't hate it, every now & then I really like it, & a few times, I've loved it. Season 5 will be coming at us December 1st & it's picking up where season 4 left off. This has a (SPOILER), but if you still haven't watched season 4, I doubt you're going to give a damn about season 5 even if I tell you it picks up in space. Anyway, it picks up in space. Which they let it be known at NYCC (with a showing of the first 20 minutes to the luck attendees) that the Kree will be returning this time which I'm kind hoping will put the show back on it's original track. I liked the first season as it basically was used in the background to set up Hydra taking over S.H.I.E.L.D.. I thought using the show to get further inside the movies was cool. The second involved the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D. trying to get at HYDRA with the Coulson also dealing with the Kree blood that brought him back to life & the emergence of super-powered Inhumans. The third season is where I almost lost interest. Coulson started to build a covert team of Inhumans. Meanwhile, Hydra was looking for an ancient Inhuman leader Hive. For me that one just kept getting worse. Season 4 featured Ghost Rider, which I thought was going to be a train wreck. In a way it was. It proved they could've done a really bad ass Ghost Rider series. Instead we got Ghost Rider thrown into Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with them almost taking a back seat. This all some how ended off with the emphasis on a LMD, or Life Model Decoy. This all made for a strange season for me. I watched it, & I didn't hate. It was enjoyable, it just felt clustered all together weird. To finish the strangeness, the long season was ended with the LMDs hooking everyone up to a "Matrix" like place that was taken over by Hydra. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed that part of the season. Even if it was a really eccentric road to get there. How do you end a crazy ride like that you ask? Cliffhanger, Coulson wakes up in space. With the strong end to that season I'm definitely still on board. I would really love a little more of the movie universe pop in again. Even if it's just in the far background, I might even take some cameos from the Netflix cast if possible. Anyway, what do y'all think of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Put it in the comments, like, & share. Oh, & while you're at it check out this Season 4 Blooper Real Marvel put up:
