Well it's definitely a new timeline. Nice to see Fitz again.
I gotta' confess, I do like flapjack.Is Fitz dead? That flapjack seemed to suggest he might be.

Needless to say, timelines get confusing, and this is precisely why I think the timeline in Avengers Endgame is different to the timeline in Avengers Infinity War.
If Agents of Shield existed in one, then moved to another (once they came back from the future) and are now travelling through others, add to that the Loki series and the main Avengers timeline, pre and post Thanos...
That's quite a selection of timelines.
Battle of New York.BTW I don't see them revisiting 2012 and the events of the Avengers, unless there's suddenly more time travelling involved. It doesn't seem as if it's going to go down that route with Sousa inserted into the battle of New York as a cop, or even Coulson taking the place of 2012 Coulson.
And with all this talk of them now being in an alternate timeline, weren't they already in one? Clearly they weren't in the same timeline as everyone else since Season 5 with everything about the planet being cracked open, or last season with Graviton, and then nothing about a 5-year time jump after the snap.
The only problem here as far as a new timeline goes is specifically what's been not only the point in the show, but also the purpose of them trying to fix the timeline? If we're going to end up in a new timeline (one that presumably flows alongside the MCU one) then what has all of this been in aid of?
I haven't seen the promo for the final, as I'm content to wait for it, but if they are indeed going to remain in this timeline, then they'll no doubt defeat Malick and the Chronicoms, but with Shield having been wiped from the map, there will be no more Shield.
Then you've got to ask that real big question; if there's a MCU Multiverse out there and the Chronicoms intent was to fix Earth, why didn't they just find a way to jump to a universe where Earth was fixed to their liking, because all they've managed to do here is create a new timeline. The original one (whatever the hell that is now) still very much exists.
Ah, but all they've done is just place themselves in a new timeline. For all purposes, there's a timeline - many of them in fact, where their own homeworld wasn't destroyed...Well the Chronicoms need a bit of a challenge and can't have it too easy.
To be fair, a timeline within the structure of the ones they've caused, likely would either be destroyed either way or be inhabited by that timeline's version of their people.Ah, but all they've done is just place themselves in a new timeline.

I can't help but wonder what the writers intended to do with their actions here.
Because they are sentient thus emotional and not just logical computers they already had a coup and assassinated a leader to go down this path.Then you've got to ask that real big question; if there's a MCU Multiverse out there and the Chronicoms intent was to fix Earth, why didn't they just find a way to jump to a universe where Earth was fixed to their liking, because all they've managed to do here is create a new timeline.
