jedi_of_urthSo here's to deal (and yes I have realized lately how often I start posts with 'So...' but I'm going to keep doing it), the actual Agents of SHIELD s7 trailer left me pretty cold, it was about 90% made up of the scene saw months ago and the 16 second teaser we got a couple weeks back. And the whole thing focused on two things, it being the final season and the time travel, both of which are not exciting to me. If I wanted dumb time travel I'd still be watching Legends, I'm here because I still want to see the messy fallout with these characters and we got none of that.
And so, I present a project I've been thinking about for a couple months now. You remember how I repeatedly said in the s6 reviews that the AoS writers should have watched Farscape to figure out how to handle messy space ideas? Well, now look at a list of Farscape inspired things (with less yelling) I want said between May and Choni-Coulson.
May: What do you think we should do?
CC: You actually asking me?
May: Yes. We can still work together Coulson. We always did that well.
(I'm not sure the conversation wouldn't work just as well if they took on opposite roles)
---
Mack: Want some advice?
CC: Nope...what?
Mack: I actually don't know what to say. I don't have any advice. It's difficult isn't it? You're jealous of the other you aren't you?
---
Elena: Want some advice?
May: Look Yoyo. Even with the real Coulson we weren't exactly married. I'm not tied to this one in any way.
May: In the time I've known you, you've changed so much. Don't go backwards.
---
CC: Some things you could die for.
May: And I can't watch that happen - again.
---
May: I'm afraid it's not that easy for me. You see - you died. I watched that happen and yet here you are.
---
May: You're just like him I mean - you are him.
CC: No. I'm me.
---
May: Guarantee you won't die in my arms again.
CC: You're still human, so guarantee you won't die in mine.
---
May: Good luck, Coulson.
CC: Phil. You used to call me Phil. “Good luck Phil.”
---
CC: Do you love Phil Coulson? Not him. Not me. Definitely not the impostor. Phil Coulson.
---
May: Do you love Melinda May?
CC: Beyond anything.
May: Then don't make me say good-bye again.
(Beyond hope is too much the John/Aeryn line)
---
CC: May, I figure a relationship - the kind we're not having - is based on trust.
May: I'm sorry.
CC: Yeah. Me too. You don't trust me. So I don't know how to trust you.
May: I would put my life in your hands. But not my heart.
---
CC: Then what does that feel like?
May: Yesterday.
CC: Well nobody can compete with that. I am so much better dead.
---
May: We started this together, Coulson. That's how we'll end it.
---
And one more if I get my wish and they play with time to send Chroni-Coulson back to Tahiti, rescuing the real Coulson because by this point they'd have a way to fix him; but they have spent too much time fixing time to break it again by just rescuing him. And Choni-Coulson left real Phil a message.
Choni-Coulson: Okay, I'm gonna have to piss you off now man. Be smart. Don't wait too long, but don't push her. She needs time.
