Since Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a Joss Whedon production, most fans know that there is a high probability that one or more of the main characters will be killed off in some spectacular manner in the first season. Whedon has said that he doesn't set out with killing in mind but Fred, Wash, Cordelia, Book, Tara, Anya, Buffy's mom, Penny and Agent Coulson himself all beg to differ.
So, who do you think will take a dirt nap first?
My money is on FitzSimmons, one or the other. They're just so damned adorable that offing one or the other will be all but irresistible to Joss. He's probably already rubbing his hands together in gleeful anticipation of the setup: The cutesy kids will spend the first 21 episodes of the season trading quips, being lovable and ingratiating themselves with the audience, and then BAM! One of them gets slaughtered by some rampaging Big Bad in episode 22, shocking fans and leaving the survivor bereft. And there will doubtless be some ultra-sweet scenes just before the bloody denouement, just to increase the pain.
Skye is another one high on the list of probables because she's got that sassy/cute thing going on, too. Ward lacks the cuteness factor, but is in danger of falling prey to the heroic sacrifice gambit. Melinda May isn't likely to die, in my estimation, though killing her off might be a great Whedonesque shocker (think Buffy's mom, only badass).
Agent Coulson is the only one who is (probably) safe, though it's not out of the question that he'll be killed again just to prove a point.
