I LOVE THIS EPISODE!
Everything about this episode is great, the concept and the execution are top notch, it is written by the showrunners, Jed and Mo, my heroes! and directed by the always excellent Kevin Tancharoen, so you know the action is great! I love how they handled seeing the future, the show has a unique take on the change the future idea and it's really nice to have, and this episode has a scene where Fitz explains spacetime, and I learned what that means from it!
I also really love the team dynamics in this episode, the training sequences are pure gold!

I'll be honest, I really don't like this sort of concept.
Whenever a character can see the future, things get messy for me. Characters then start acting totally differently, ultimately leading to the vision coming true.
I personally much prefer the Dr Strange concept from Infinity War where there are millions of different possible futures, which can only be determined by billions of different, random actions. Also, "if I tell you what happens, it won't happen" clearly doesn't apply here.
The episode was well made and everything, I just hate the idea of a single fixed future, where everything is inevitable and can't be changed. It doesn't make sense. For instance, the events of this episode only happened BECAUSE Daisy saw the future. If she never had the vision, none of it would have even happened, right?
This is why I was glad when they killed Rayna. Having characters that can see the future just complicates matters in my opinion and it made for a frustrating episode here!
