"Closure..."

- Grant Ward

Ok so before I start, no, a series finale wasn't confirmed or anything. I've simply been giving a lot of thought into how the show should end. It's a show people, including myself, really like I think we can all agree we love the cast of characters, and I think it deserves a series finale rather than just getting thrown under the bus like Agent Carter (or Inhumans' inevitable future). So I'm writing down my thoughts of how the last moments should go. If this happens, it could be at the end of season 5... or 6, or maybe 7, or maybe even 10 or 20 (I doubt it), who knows. We simply don't know what the last season will be right now, so I'm not gonna predict what threats there are or what the main cast will be made up out of, just simply how I think it should end.

Revisiting Previous Seasons
The main thing I want, and as a few tv shows do it, is a revisit to all the previous seasons. The original team in season 1, Grant Ward, all the dead characters who gave their life for S.H.I.E.L.D., Bobbi and Hunter, stuff like that. I'm not saying they should time travel, more like have a montage as the main characters sit and look back at it all. Although, time travel or bringing back the Framework is an alternate (and much more complicated) way of doing it, yes.

The Future of the Characters and S.H.I.E.L.D.
The other big thing I want, is closure for each and every one of the main characters at the time. (Grant Ward and his closure obsession would be proud). What's Coulson's deal with the Ghost Rider about? What happens to Fitz after he becomes the Doctor? Does Daisy direct S.H.I.E.L.D. after all? I want to know. These are just examples I can think of that will probably be explored in season 5 regardless of a series finale or not, but still, the point is the characters need closure. And just a suggestion, Fitz and Simmons should marry. I'm not a shipper or anything but that must happen.

As for S.H.I.E.L.D. itself, I would like to see a gateway for it to return to the movies or something. Or at least another tv series.

Returning Dead Characters
This kind of goes with the "Revisiting Previous Seasons" segment, but, assuming that they use a time travel or Framework thing in the finale, it would be very nice to see some returning characters. Most notably, characters like Grant Ward or Lincoln Campbell, and any other main characters that could potentially die in between now and the series finale.

Closing as it Started
This is more of a personal want probably, but, I would like for this theme to return as linked. The reason being? The theme's original placement in the show was in the pilot episode, when the season 1 team completed their first mission and stared at each other with smiles, finally becoming a team, which for me marks the beginning of the long amazing road that is the show. And plus, that segment of the song is emotional anyway. I believe that putting that to the background of the show's last couple minutes, as the main characters stare at each other with smiles as they did in the pilot, would be very powerful and emotional, and would really add to everything. Or maybe I'm overthinking it and it wouldn't mean anything, who knows.

It Should be Powerful
Whatever they decide to do, on this list or not, if I cry like a baby when watching it, they did their job.
