Agents of SHIELD: Who Will Die?

We can rule Clark Gregg out immediately.
There's no show without him

            Haven't heard anything on a renewal yet BUT that doesn't mean there won't be one. In my opinion the MARVEL people have already planned their movie releases over the next few years and have expressed enthusiasm for the show tying into those story lines as the big events effect the show's events in some cases. In the mean time, Daisy has had a vision that someone from the team will die. But who?

You can't kill off the Cavalry

I just don't see her dying

      Immediately I'm ruling out Coulson because that would be a cheat to kill him off. Then I'm going to rule out May and Daisy. It's not just they're the only Asians of the cast but because I feel like they're still very important characters. These 2 women have a close connection to Coulson. While that would affect Coulson deeply if Daisy or May (his surrogate daughter and right hand) were to die I don't feel like their deaths would lead to anything more than that. 

You can't keep writing off every guy who isn't white

      One possibility is Mack though I don't know if he's going to die. Still since we've seen that scene in a space ship orbiting Earth I've been having a bad feeling. For one thing there's that golden cross Elena wears around her neck. She and Mack have gotten close though right now they've hit a bump in the road. They could make up and Elena could give Mack her gold cross as a gift to help protect him since she's a religious person who believes that carrying around a holy symbol would protect him. But it's also possible that Elena is the one who dies it being her necklace and all. Then there's Joe but I don't think he's going to die. I don't feel like his death would cause any great impact. Which leads me to Lincoln.

Lincoln is a tempting possibility for the reaper

        Daisy is very unlucky in love so it would make sense if Lincoln died. It would just be another death that she would blame herself for given what happened to Trip. While that sounds sadistic as a writer as well as masochistic for the character herself it would fit with the theme where at any moment a person you love would die saving you or that for some reason being a super hero means you have to fight fate every day to get some form of a happy ending with a person you love. But perhaps I'm too cynical...

We just got her back so not sure it'll be her...

       Now we've come to my real theory. I think either Fitz or Simmons are going to bite the big one. Losing one of our gifted geniuses would affect the team on a very deep level and I feel like it would help move the story for our characters. Also Fitz said they were cursed. I don't think it's just them that's cursed but as I've said before super heroes lose loved ones especially romantic ones all the time. Now we just got Jemma back so maybe it's Fitz who dies. He may sacrifice himself to Jemma's life but also Fitz had proven to be a fierce friend so he'd be ready to sacrifice his life for any one of his time. Remember when he protected Daisy when she first became an Inhuman. He never saw her as a monster once and then when he was trying to find Jemma Fitz put himself in danger countless times. He refuses to give up on his friends. 

I would hate to lose Fitz!

        My money is on Fitz or Simmons dying. Maybe one of them goes up in space with Mack, Elena, and some other members for some reason that could help destroy Hive somehow. We won't know until we see the episode!

TVD: Calaric, Is It A Thing?

              I'm probably one of the many fans of TVD who are a bit weirded out by Alaric and Caroline being a couple. Though the more I think about it the more it makes sense (right now that is).

        Yes, it's kinda creepy. Alaric was Caroline's high school History Teacher. Then he was her college professor. These two haven't spent much time together throughout those 6 years but then Caroline became Alaric's surrogate. They seemed to really come together not just as friends but as partners in a way. It honestly didn't feel weird for me to see them going to birthing classes and hosting the baby shower. Then there was that spark when they felt the babies kick and Alaric was amazed how Caroline could tell them apart. She's not the twins' real mother but she filled the role so naturally. Alaric could have just left with the twins but he allowed Caroline to come along; 1 reason is because no one says "no" to Caroline and the other reason is he I feel like he had gotten used to her being around helping him prepare for parenthood. 

       Now that Alaric and Caroline began spent more time together I don't find it unbelievable that he fell in love with her. It's hard not to fall for Caroline as she has a way of moving her way into your life that you feel like the sun doesn't shine when she's not around. As a human Caroline was a pest but as a vampire she became a much more supportive, nurturing and loyal friend. Alaric didn't want to raise his children around vampires but he somehow made an exception for Caroline. She cares about the twins as much as he does because she got the chance to carry them and give birth which she most likely won't ever experience again as a vampire. And for 3 years they had perfect lives without violence or anything supernatural screwing things up. But has Caroline fallen for Alaric?

        Alaric explained that he proposed to Caroline because he fell in love with her and Caroline said yes because it made sense for the girls. They're essentially a family now and all they needed was a ring to make it official. We know that even if Stefan somehow became available again Caroline wouldn't abandon her surrogate daughters and by extension Alaric. We saw how she reacted when she found out that Alaric was moving to Dallas, Texas. Caroline grew to think of the babies as her own. Then there was that moment when Alaric named one of the babies Elizabeth after Caroline's mother. There's now a special bond between Alaric and Caroline, an intimacy that only 2 people who share a child can understand (like Klaus and Hayley). I don't see Caroline leaving her new family until the girls are all grown up or Alaric dies (though you never know...). 

        Yeah it's weird because of the age difference (of the characters) and Calaric will have to move around a lot every 10 years or so to keep people from figuring out Alaric's wife is immortal. There will certainly be deriding whispers as Alaric ages while his wife is forever young (trapped in the body of a 16 year old... yeah just tell people they're mormons or something) but if it makes you feel any better Alaric has terrible luck when it comes to marriage. His first wife left him to become a vampire and his second died on the altar. I hope third times' a charm but Klaroline and Steroline fans can hold on to such thoughts if they wish (especially since there's some hint from producers that their engagement might end). All I'm saying is that Alaric with Caroline makes the most sense right now given they have children together and they seem to work well together as a couple and as parents. What I love about this show is that you can pretty much match anyone together because the whole cast has such chemistry which to me is kinda rare. Enjoy Calaric while it lasts.

OUAT: Zelena & Hades: The Anti-Couple But the Sanest People Ever

          There really is someone out there for everyone. Even the Wicked Witch can get a guy, albeit he's the King of the Underworld but it was nice to see all the same. 

A bicycle built for two

       I will say that even though Zelena is the most psychotic of our villains you have to admit that ironically she's probably the most rational woman of the cast. She's the first to not immediately jump into this true love stuff. True Regina, Snow White, and Emma took a while to really open their hearts and let another person in but Zelena is the most independent woman of them all. She really doesn't need anyone to help her achieve power or take care of business. 

Hopefully Baby Green Bean takes after daddy

         Another thing I thought I was the only one who thought it was pretty crazy our heroes just left their infants back home to go on a rescue trip to hell. Remember earlier in the season when Snow White & Charming took their infant son to Camelot? Yeah they were on the fence about letting the dwarves come along but they're okay with bringing their teenage grandson and 2 children under the age of 7 on this dangerous trip? Even I was tempted to call child services on our heroes. Zelena points out this fact when they're tracking down her baby in the Underworld. Robin Hood's all about setting an example but dude wait until she's walking and talking and thinking for herself before you start leading by example. And you got to admire a little that she refers to her daughter as "our" instead of "my". She acknowledges that Robin's the dad but nevertheless she would rather raise the baby on her own. You also have to admire Zelena as a devoted mother. She may be a Wicked Witch but she loves her baby. So much that she gave her up even if it meant she would never see her again just to protect her. 

Talk about hot heads

       Then there's Hades. The King of the Underworld is cursed with a stopped heart that makes him unfeeling and also very lonely. Only the kiss of True Love (that kiss solves almost every problem I've noticed) will his heart restart and become a fully formed man again. He may be a vindictive, cold blooded deity but when it comes to love he goes all in. Creepy yeah he's kind of stalker-ish the minute Zelena makes him feel a wiggle in his special place (his heart) he's ready to give up on revenge against his brother, Zeus and share a life with her. That's kinda sweet actually.

Funny I didn't know Hades ever learned to ride a bike

       Unlike Rumple who holds onto power with an iron fist when it keeps costing him his loved ones, Hades is a kind of selfless guy when it comes to love. Even after Zelena rejects him he still holds a torch for her. He modeled the Underworld after Storybrooke to please her as well as try and "save" her baby from our heroes. At first Zelena thought he was going to use her daughter to create the time travel spell but truthfully he gave up on revenge against his brother Zeus a long time ago. Hades is completely in awe of Zelena for her fierce independence. Yet this time instead of an outright "no" Zelena gave Hades a "no... maybe... I don't know." So she's wavering a bit but she still prefers to get her daughter back her own way. Hades is cool with that. 

Even the King of the Underworld has a heart

       So Hades and Zelena may be an Anti-Couple but if you think about it they're the most rational people out of our heroes and villains. They shouldn't be raising a baby in the underworld but when it comes to relationships they'll probably be the sturdiest couple. Both are very independent people and Hades is willing to wait for Zelena until she's ready to be with him instead of using that "we're meant to be together it's true love" line we keep hearing. It may be a cold day in hell  before Zelena really lets her walls come down and let go of her personal insecurities but I feel like Hades is wearing her down.
