It's doubly ok to plan a show's ending in advance so you don't end up with dumb rushed poo poo like person of interest's last season.

Person of Interest did plan their ending though

And it was good

I just love how CBS was obviously ordering a series based on their tried and true formula: Procedural of the Week. And that's what was delivered, but it slowly morphed into a multi-season spanning dystopian science fiction show until the the procedurals were either the b-plot or ended up serving the over-arcing story-line of dueling AIs deciding whether humanity will be self determining or subtly curated by elimnating non-conforming members.

Also, the music selection was top rate. The stand-outs were the use of Bowie's I'm Afraid of Americans and Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt.

I got goosebumps just from you mentioning that song. I'm a sucker for good musical accompaniment scenes and PoI delivered.

E: And yeah, the way the show did its story was interesting. A lot of procedurals start off with an interesting premise and then it dissolves into the background (with maybe an occasional episode of "oh yeah this guy's got a terminal disease better focus on it for drama" and then back to normal), PoI built on it instead. AoS does that pretty well too; references to old seasons don't feel forced and it's not the "why don't they just do X from last week" that some of the other superhero shows have. This is helped by them pretty much abandoning the procedural format after early season 1.

The only acceptable way to bring Ward back is if the monolith brings him back, and the entire team immediately turns and shoots him, and he's only screen for maybe 5 seconds before poofing again.

Re-watching S1 and its rough about the edges but it still has some great moments. The end of eye-spy is a legit awesome twist.

FZZT is also pretty emotional, and Fitz faffing about with the parachute while Ward grabs it and jumps without a second thought owns. Makes me feel like he actually did care about them, he probably was a bit sad to drop em in the ocean.

Ward mentions it later as being a calculated ploy help earn the team's trust, so on rewatching it seems more like him being absolutely confident in pulling it off and ripping the parachute out of Fitz' hands so as to not lose the opportunity.

drat. Now I made myself sad again. Remember Agent Carter? God, I loved Agent Carter. Every time one of the main male characters of Agent Carter pops up in another movie, I get a little sad remembering that great show (Shea Wigham AKA Roger Dooley popped up in most of my favorite movies last year).
