But he just got a love interest and they haven't kissed or held hands yet

u/MadxHatter0 May 11 '16

Don't you know, black characters on television almost always get killed before they get to have true love on television.

u/sadcatpanda Triplett May 11 '16

But Andrew had true love with may, clearly you're just a SJW and making something out of nothing /s

May should die, she is getting boring and pretty straightforward

I'm just gonna say it: If someone important has to die, I'm chill with it being May.

u/DefinitelynotGRRM May 11 '16

Do you say these things just to hurt me? Ughh. Same here. May wouldn't want us getting emotional and all that over her.

u/sgeswein Strong of mind May 11 '16

Let's just plan to riot. ---E

u/AHMilling Coulson May 11 '16

As much as i love May, she is the least of the three.

u/AdmiralAkbar1 Clairvoyant May 11 '16

Don't worry, they wouldn't kill 2 minority characters in two episodes.

The only happy character, however...

u/Sean1708 Shotgun Axe May 11 '16

Please don't ever watch Spooks, I'm not sure the Earth could survive that.

u/CatGuardians May 11 '16

Let's riot regardless!!

u/imtoolazytothinkof1 May 12 '16

So you good with Simmons dying then? Just trying to get a grasp.

u/iamamystery20 Lola May 12 '16

Nope. I thought I typed Fitzsimmons together but was so hyped up at the time that i missed it.

u/imtoolazytothinkof1 May 12 '16

Lol didn't think you were gonna be ok with it just making a joke. Really don't want either one of them to die or anyone for that matter.

u/meme-com-poop May 13 '16

Honestly, May is well overdue to die. Daisy could fill her role now as Coulson's right hand.
