Quick timeline for season 5.
Team in eating in a diner, all but Fitz are captured and forced to enter a monolith that transports them 90 years into the future to a place called the lighthouse.
Fitz is taken into custody by General Hale (HYDRA Agent and mother to Ruby)
6 months later Fitz manages to escape, meets Enoch and Robin and is put into a cryo chamber and sent into space to meet the rest of the team in the future.
Lots of stuff happens on the Lighthouse but the team manages to escape, travel back to the present and back to Earth.
SHIELD agents end up regrouping at the present day Lighthouse.
Lots of stuff happens culminating in the face off between Daisy and General Talbot. This is the fight that breaks the world and potentially will restart the time loop.
Daisy defeats Talbot in a way that saves the world, therefor breaking the time loop, but in this ending Fitz was injured and died. Coulson goes to Tahiti with May to spend his last days there.
Simmons decides to go into space and try to track down the Cryo pod Fitz is traveling in to meet up the team in the future.

Okay. Terrific summary. I missed stuff in the lots of stuff happening. I need to go to Netflix and watch that season before the new one starts...or at least the last three episodes.

Season 6 Episode 1 - "Missing Pieces" - May 10, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(season_6)Wow, great start to the season. These folks know how to deliver multi-arc complex plots. Wanted to kick Jemma out of the airlock for the stunt she pulled. Hope someone, or a couple of someones give her a couple of slaps in the face and punches to the gut. Glad they acknowledged that secondary and tertiary characters have lives, and families and are not throw away pieces.

Season 6 Episode 2 - "Window of Opportunity" - May 17, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(season_6)Thankfully this is very much a May & Mack centric episode. Luv the fight scenes between May and the giant. Seeing bits of Fitz and Enoch. Luv'ed the ending. So glad to see Jemma just miss Fitz but feel so bad for the rest of the crew.

Season 6 Episode 4 - "Code Yellow" - May 31, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(season_6)#ep111Seriously, I was waiting and waiting and waiting for Yo Yo to grab the knife and stab Keller. Why did she wait so long? She has been an agent long enough and in that horrible time loop to be able to do the hard things that you have to do. Nice to see Deke again. The social media angle was fun.

Season 6 Episode 5 - "The Other Thing" - June 14, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(season_6) This is an opinion a judgment without knowing the circumstances. It is always good to see May in full field agent mode and to see some flashbacks of the time she and Coulson spent in Tahiti.

Season 6 Episode 6 - "Inescapable" - June 21, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(season_6)That is not true. That is what SHIELD thinks, they do not have all the facts. Sometimes Jemma can be rather tiresome but the writers came up with some great dialog and situations this episode.

Season 6 Episode 7 - "Toldja" - June 28, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(season_6)I felt kinda bad for Mack as he was seeing the situation on from one perspective and it made it easy for Sarge to manipulate him a bit. I thought it odd that the one SHIELD agent only used a handgun to shot the two captive Shriek infested humans. Fitz and Simmons are in a more realistic stage of their relationship and seem to be out of sync at times. I can see this becoming real hate at some point depending on the circumstances. There is a potential for 3 space story threads ending up on Earth, the Shrieks and their creator, Iziel the mercenary who saved Fitz and Simmons, and the Chronicoms.

I read a Verge article online that helped me reconcile this series with the MCU Universe. Since last season Agents has split from the MCU and have taken to presenting their own timelines. My head is in a better space now that I can take the series for what it is without trying to always tie in what is happening in MCU. I started my binge watch of the current season and am four shows in...okay I'm hooked. It still isn't first season Shield, but I'm all right with the evolving situation and characters now.
ETA: I'm all caught up and how do we not know that the woman who freed FitzSimmons isn't the God of Shrikes. She needs an artifact from earth - HAH!
I'm fine with Coulson not being terran Coulson and would like to know more about how the same personna (DNA) can be incarnated in various planets and/or universes. I mean it's not a time thing with him or is it? Hmmm
That the "scientist" (can't remember his name) is heading to an original Incan site where Shield had been - I mean that is telegraphed as the place where Fitzsimmons along with Shrike God are headed. Getting interesting.

Okay, I can't stand it. What is wrong with "Daisy's" upper teeth. They look different and make her mouth look different and she now pronounces a sibilant S that she didn't before. This is annoying me even though I am now really into the 6th season.

Season 6 Episode 8 - "Collision Course (Part I)" - July 5, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(season_6)Interesting to watch the story from two POVs (Point of Views). You have Izel's version and Sarge's version. Interestingly enough Professor Benson provides Mack a bit of a historical version also. So glad Jemma stopped Fitz from telling Izel they have dealt with Monoliths and know where some are. Glad to finally starting to find out what Monoliths really are and what their purpose really is. Collision Course is a perfect title for this episode. Kinda thought it might be appropriate for Deke and Snowflake. Seriously thought she was trying to kill him. The snide remarks and the smaller side scenes, the density of these scenes is what makes this such a rich and layered series.

Here is a reprint of the article I read that made me okay with the S.H.I.E.L.D timeline shifts. linkwww.syfy.com/syfywire/marvels-agents-of-shield-broke-the-mcu-thankfully-it-doesnt-need-it-anymore?__source=Blastr_Vayner_syfy_Facebook&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=agentsofshield&utm_term=organic&utm_content=link_ad&fbclid=IwAR0Gf7wYgbAw5e_tREMxntd4vQSr4z-Tku5QCC35oHYP1Q5q_WkY87s0wtQMarvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. broke the MCU. Thankfully, it doesn’t need it anymore. Contributed by Trent Moore @trentlmoore Jun 29, 2019 It may have started as the TV corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but over the course of six years, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has moved beyond the MCU — literally, when it comes to the events of Season 6. Thankfully, it doesn’t need it anymore, anyway. With Marvel Studios setting up its most ambitious gambit yet at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, jumping the story five years ahead and making some monumental changes to the world along the way, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was in the precarious position of trying to stay true to the MCU that spawned it while also finding a path forward to keep telling the stories that have made the show such a hit with fans and critics the past few years. Turned out something had to break — and it was the MCU. Producers Jeff Bell and Jed Whedon have clarified the sixth season of S.H.I.E.L.D. takes place “pre-Snap,” despite acknowledging Thanos’ Infinity War attack in parallel to the show’s fifth season finale. Throw in the wrench of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s sixth season premiere including a one-year time jump, and any attempt to reconcile your MCU timeline just goes up in smoke. Whedon said it was a practical concern, largely due to the show’s production lead time. Sure, it was set to premiere after this April's Avengers: Endgame, but if the premiere somehow got moved up a few months — and the show factored in any heavily guarded Endgame spoilers — it would’ve “destroyed everything.” Put simply, S.H.I.E.L.D. just ignored the fallout of Infinity War and Endgame — essentially breaking the (already tenuous) MCU timeline in the process. For some fans, the decision has come as a point of contention. The entire MCU was pitched under the catchphrase of “It’s All Connected,” and early seasons of S.H.I.E.L.D. featured more direct connections to the MCU, from character cameos to carryover plot points to films like Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Those were fun, sure, but S.H.I.E.L.D. has always been at its best telling its own stories. It’s standalone stories like the Framework, Ghost Rider, the Inhumans arc, and the future-set adventure last season that stand out as the best seasons. The common thread is that none of those stories had much of anything to do with the wider world of the MCU. They were just really good stories. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has always been at its best doing its own thing. It wasn’t great because of the MCU connections, it was great in spite of them. In Season 6, S.H.I.E.L.D. took the calculated risk to cut ties with the MCU’s decade-long culmination, splitting the action between a deep space search for a lost team member and an Earth-based mystery where a new baddie (played by longtime star Clark Gregg) looks to be a harbinger of wider destruction. It’s made for some of the show’s best storytelling to date, highlighted by the recent episode “Inescapable,” which was basically a bottle episode focused on the broken relationship, and psyches, of FitzSimmons. Over the past three to four years, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has carved out its own world that mostly still fit the MCU’s mold, in much the same way shows like Daredevil and The Punisher were technically “set” within the MCU but never really dabbled in it beyond newspaper clippings or throwaway lines. Ironically enough, it’s a framework (no pun intended) piloted by comic books themselves. Any month, you’ll have standalone stories taking place alongside universe-shattering events, oftentimes sharing the same characters between them. It’s not about trying to make it all fit into a tidy box, it’s about trying to tell the best story. That’s where S.H.I.E.L.D. excels, and has continued to excel. Could they have tried to tell a story in the aftermath of Thanos' first attack, filling in the dour five years after the Snappening? Sure. Could they have wobbled the timeline to jump ahead five years to a post-Endgame world, and tried to explain that away once everyone was returned in Endgame? Maybe. But are those the best stories? Are those the stories that put these characters in the best position to do something interesting? Probably not. It would’ve pigeonholed the creative team into trying to tell a story around someone else’s story — one that’s already complicated and convoluted enough in its own right — and that rarely works out well. In Season 6, S.H.I.E.L.D. has left the MCU behind — and most fans would agree it’s all the better for it. Here’s to the end of Season 6, the upcoming Season 7, and hopefully many more beyond. Regardless of what the MCU looks like at that point.

Season 6 Episode 9 - "Collision Course (Part II)" - July 12, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(season_6)Good episode, I think part 1 and 2 need to be watched back to back. In part 2 Sarge comes across a bit crazy with his obsession of destroying Izel at all costs. What this show does really well is not drag out a climate ending, cliffhanger, battle. It seems too soon to reach the solution that happened in this episode. Maybe TOO soon. I just hope Davis is not possessed by any of the shrikes. I like that this show invests in secondary and tertiary characters as it adds flavor and depth to the show, and shows us ordinary agents. I hope they do not needlessly red shirt him.

Actually, I think Davis is the new Izell. Remember she disappeared from the bridge of the ship when he went to capture her. It's not a sure thing that she was blown up.
I wonder if Daisy's fate of destroying the world is a consequence of her using her power to try to decimate all the shrikes. I guess we'll find out, even if the Kree homeship was a future timeline.

They resolved that already. Originally Daisy was blamed for destroying the world although it was General Talbot. In the new timeline she is not known as the Destroyer of Worlds as she defeated Talbot and he did not destroy the world and that timeline does not exist anymore. Unless she is saying that to frighten off her opponents while she was on the search for Fitz through space, I don't recall that being said but I may have missed that.

You are most likely correct. I missed so much of season 5 because I was totally confused once Talbot was involved. I'll have to rewatch it on Netflix.
So far, I'm doing okay with season 6/

Another article regarding the End of the Series: linkscreenrant.com/agents-shield-cancelled-reason-marvel-abc/?utm_content=buffer0b974&utm_medium=Social-Distribution&utm_source=SR-FB-P&utm_campaign=SR-FB-P&fbclid=IwAR0h7y9ATK2GN5ipiVmY4y0ljPZ4fI732MYXbK7aiaj-fjsvHD1qihM5UDkSpeaking to Deadline, Marvel Television chief Jeph Loeb insisted the cancellation was actually Marvel's choice. When ABC president Channing Dungey contacted Marvel with the offer of Agents of SHIELD season 7, the creative team sat down to decide the show's future. "We all came to the conclusion that getting another season is so flattering, so lovely, so amazing," Loeb observed, "but how about if we go back and say, yes, but this is it." The decision allowed Marvel to end Agents of SHIELD on their own terms, rather than be at the mercy of the network. It's possible they didn't want Agents of SHIELD to suffer the same fate as the various Marvel Netflix shows, which were cancelled by Netflix with a lot of loose ends left unresolved.

Season 6 Episode 10 - "Leap" - July 19, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(season_6)I thought Davis had been taken over but am sad he died. They did a good job showing Izel's power. I do wonder if her possessing people and coming from a dimension where the people do not have bodies is a lead up to having the Ghost Rider come back for season 7? Heads up, there are 3 more episodes left this season. Episodes 12 and 13 will air back to back August 2 for a 2 hour season finale.

Season 6 Episode 11 - "From the Ashes" - July 26, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(season_6)Good build to the finale. Nice touches with Benson seeing his dead husband, Daisy connecting with the essence of Coulson, Mack and Yo Yo reconnecting, and finally Deke making a connection with his grandparents. This show really works because of scenes like that. The story has been so centered on Izel that seeing the Chronicoms was a bit of a shock.

Season 6 Episode 12 - "The Sign" - August 2, 2019 - part 1 of the 2 hour season finale en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(season_6)I am glad there were some Deke centric episodes. There is much conflict with Deke and others as they don't respect how he does things but he grew up in an environment where no one cared about him and he had to depend on himself to survive a harsh set of circumstances. Survival vs morals is not a fight morals or doing the right thing wins. I do wish he had more confidence in himself. Obviously the Chronicoms will be the big bad for season 7 but they have the worse timing to show up in the middle of a potentially earth ending event. Add in zombies. The others needed a sign and Sarge gave them one. But I was not expecting THAT sign.

Luv'ed watching May save the day. I was surprised Yo Yo couldn't stop the shrike as she did the zombies by slowing them down. Why does no one try to pull these things out of their mouths? I would think it would be almost a reflex reaction. Well, everyone wanted Coulson back but I don't think anyone saw this twist coming.

At first I thought Simmons was the "new" Chromochon (sp) because she moved and talked as one would. But, when Colson was replicated and 1920's NYC shows up...wowza! I wonder what people thought when looking up at the sky? Would they have a concept at that decade for flying saucers?
Ah, Fitz and Simmons when told they would have to be once again separated in order to save the world...head turns and sighs.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the arc to the next season. Oh, and I agree about pulling out the Shrike...not just the one attacked, but why didn't anyone standing around staring make a grab for it? Head turn and sigh.
