I had two theories about Agents of SHIELD Season 7 that I wanted to share before it aired to see what y'all think:
A Chronicom killed Thompson - Hear me out. I'm aware that the official sources say that it was Michael Carter, but I've always rejected that and feel it would have made a terrible season 3. So, what if it was a Chronicom? The Chronicoms' goal is to destroy SHIELD throughout history, trying to stop it from existing. Well, what better way to do that then kill one of the historically relevant SSR chiefs (because of his relationship to Peggy and his role in stopping Leviathan and Whitney) and stealing incriminating information about Peggy, one of SHIELD's founders. They release the information (which we know is doctored), and that becomes one of the "dams" that Deke talks about in the released scene, that SHIELD has to fix. If it really needs to be Michael Carter, it could be a Chronicom wearing his face, which we know they can do from the first teaser. That could also be what gets Sousa involved with SHIELD, helping them figure out how the information got leaked and trying to help Peggy, despite her newfound relationship with Cap. I've believed this firmly ever since I heard that Sousa was involved in the show (when Ming-Na Wen posted that bike image).
FitzSimmons are at least part Chronicom now - This one's a little stranger. All we know about what happened between the Siege of the Lighthouse and saving May's life is that they had to change the course of FitzSimmons' lives forever. Simmons at the end of New Life seemed oddly calculating, with the show of emotion about missing Coulson being prefaced by "If we're being honest." This is similar to how Enoch showed emotion at the beginning of the Season, before he started to grow and become more human. Furthermore, there was only a hint of sadness regarding not knowing where Fitz is, which is way out of character for Simmons. That is, unless they had somehow turned into Chronicoms. We don't technically know the machine/flesh ratio of Chronicoms' body, but we know that it's high enough that Enoch could get into the bar on Kitson. I don't think it's all that implausible, it just takes some out-of-the-box thinking, which we all know AoS is amazing at.
What do you guys think? Are they probable? I hope for some explanation about Thompson, even if it's not mine, because it's been killing me ever since it happened.
