    Fuck, I am literally shaking right now. And couldn't we have at least had Ward/Skye sex before she found out? Damn it. And oh God, his childhood sounds horrible.

    Poor Eric. He didn't deserve that. Rude, Ward. And don't you dare take Skye back to Garrett!

    God, that was amazing.

    I was worried about this episode and thought I was gonna hate because of Skye finding out. But I must say I did love the episode and can't wait till next week.
    Also I like the fact that now Skye is playing him eventhough, I believe that maybe in her mind she thinks that maybe she can change him. Maybe that is part of why did is doing it but also was scared that he would hurt her. Also I'm not sure if she believes that Ward cares for her, but I think apart of her does, so she is playing on his feelings.
    The other thing I liked which shows that Ward is redeemable is the fact that he had a terrible childhood and needed to protect himself. But also that he asked Skye where she wanted to go which says a lot. It tells us that he cares deeply for her and does not want her anywhere near Garrett , so it looks like he wants to run away with her.

    aflj;ilhdgduysgal SHE KNOWS!!! This was such an awesome episode!

    Amy Acker was wonderful as Audrey and Coulson hearing her talk about him was absolutely heartbreaking. I nearly shed a tear. And the scene where he kissed her on the forehead and then vanished just about broke me. I really hope Amy comes back.

    LOL at Simmons answering "tardis" during her lie detector questioning. Loved that! And I'm about 100% sure Fitz is in love with her. He was totally about to say it to her at the end.

    Damn, I was starting to like Koenig. Patton Oswalt was hilarious in this role. He'll be missed. Damn you, Ward!

    I wonder where Ward is taking Skye now because it sure as hell ain't to go pick up the rest of the team.

    And I can't wait till May talks to Maria in next week's episode!

    Oh boo-freaking-hoo, he had a bad childhood. He's has murderes multiple good guys and I will be pissed off if they try to redeem him because his brother was a meanie and he is sooo in love with Skye. Being in love doesn't forgive murder and she is an idiot if she can forgive that.

    Another great episode and only three left in the season! Daaaaamn.


    I am very pleased with the way they handled the Skye/Ward scenes this week. I was worried but they nailed it.

  14. magnutude23 April 2014 at 03:15

    loved the ep! very intense moments, notably Ward's lie detector test and Skye trying desperately to gather herself when she realized that Ward is HYDRA well done. I'm guessing that she left a message in that bathroom she was hiding in to tip off the team. Really loved seeing Amy A onscreen and loved how they tied the overtones of Coulson's relationship/secret to Fitz's predicament.... liked how they played Coulson/May's fallout and eventual reunion to a possible reappearance of Maria Hill!

  16. Cathy23 April 2014 at 03:18

    I don't think she will forgive that. She didn't forgive her boyfriend for selling information... imagine forgiving someone for murdering good people.. I think she is too ethical for that.

  17. Victoria Llanos23 April 2014 at 03:20

    It hurts me deeply, but I have to agree with you. I really wanted Ward to be redemable, but the more we see, the less likely it gets. I mean, if we could see some inner battle within him for his actions, but he doesn't seem conflicted at all...
    Still, I'm loving Brett's interpretation of evil Ward, even if I don't like evil Ward himself, LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  18. MurderMondays23 April 2014 at 03:21

    I am really hoping for a redemption arc for Ward but at this point it is going to be a long road.


    It'd be interesting to see him operating alone as a neutral party in the future, alongside Deathlok. That would line up with Deathlok's story from the comics and, maybe, get Ward to a better place for redemption.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Victoria Llanos23 April 2014 at 03:22

    Yep! I think Skye for all her ilegal activities has a very developed sense of honor and I can't see her forgiving him, no matter what sob story he has in his past. The more I see, the more convinced I am that closer thing to redemption Ward can get, is dying defending the team.

  21. Montie23 April 2014 at 03:25

    LOL. Ward asked her where she wanted to go because she said the encryption is location based and they would have to take a field trip at some point. As in they have to be at a specific coordinates in order for her to unlock the encryption. Not because he wanted to run away with her. I really think he does have feelings for her but he did not just run away with her!

    I've decided I'm going to retreat to fanfiction and fanvids and ignore everything else until next episode. It's the only way I can pretend there's some hope left for them. Bring on the fics, LOL

  23. Cathy23 April 2014 at 03:27

    Exactly. And didn't he just give na excuse they needed to leave ASAP in order to help the team? So why would they take a field trip.... doesn't make any sense.
    The plan is to convince her to decrypt the HD in the location necessary and tell her that they are going to meet the team afterwards with the already decrypted HD.
    Now, I am not sure he would deliver Skye to Garrett willingly or hurt her (unless necessary), but they are NOT running awat together...

    Yes, but it's clear Garrett took him out of an abusive situation and manipulated and abused him some more for his own purposes. He never stood a chance.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Victoria Llanos23 April 2014 at 03:34

    The only thing his backstory could justify is his blind loyalty to Garrett, but that's that. I suppose what this proves is just how strong Skye is, she comes from hell too, and yet she didn't let her past turned her into something twisted like Ward. But then again, if Coulson had rescue Ward instead of Garrett, the story would be very different.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Cathy23 April 2014 at 03:35

    Oh no. BIG NO. That's going too far for me. Oh, Whedon, don't.
    Not Fitz, he is so nice, and caring and lovable and he was even brave enough to save May and Coulson during the fight.
    That would be going too far for me personally. I'm not sure I'd watch the show after that.
    Killing off Fitz, Skye or Coulson would be crossing the line for me.
    Not that I dislike May or Simmons, May is actually the coolest character, but she is tough and she seems like someone who would embrace death. I also like Simmons, but I read her a morally ambiguous... she seems to follow the rules up to the point where she thinks it is best for her (or Science) not to. Even her lie detector test was kinda like that.

    ReplyDelete
  33. klutzy_girl23 April 2014 at 03:35

    I don't know! I was pretty convinced up until tonight that Ward was going to die and now people are suggesting Fitz, and it hurts but I can buy it.

    Guh, this show is stressing me out.

    Nooooooooooo not Fitz :(


    Fitz is such a great character and there is so much potential to develop him.


    I really don't want anyone on the team to die. They've done such a great job building these characters. We already lost Ward. Let us keep everyone else...for now.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Cathy23 April 2014 at 03:38

    I don't agree. He has a brain after all and he is a grown up now. If he was 21 it would be more understandable.
    He has been around his share of good people to know the difference. Even he knows that he is not a good person and he embraces it.
    I think he likes the power rush it gives him. His speech to May when she was thought to be the mole was nothing but an ego boost for himself ... he said that the fact May played them all showed him that she was even better than he thought, that she was really really a superb spy, after all, she had managed to play the person she was sleeping with. That clearly shows how high he thinks of himself for pulling that stunt off and he enjoyed saying that.

    ReplyDelete
  37. klutzy_girl23 April 2014 at 03:38

    I think it's because he (most likely) has feelings for Simmons, and they think it'll be a dying confession of love type of situation? I don't really know!

  38. desiqtie23 April 2014 at 03:40

    I love the twists on this show. On other shows they always go with the predictable twists - but there are always at least a few bits that are totally off-the-wall on AoS. It makes it so much fun :) I also love how they are turning all of the shipping & romance in such strange configurations so that romance REALLY is secondary.

    I do hope May & Coulson work things out, but the falling out was well done overall. This episode I honestly was expecting Ward to win out over Skye - but I am so excited to see where it goes now. I love Skye (I know a lot of people don't but whatever) so I'm especially enjoying this. Sad to see Koenig go - adored the humor he brought and his enthusiasm was very reminiscent of the excitable, pre-death Agent Coulson ("I watched you sleep"). I'm a bit torn about Triplett, on the one hand, he's everything I wanted Ward to be, but on the other hand, now that I know what Ward is (I think) - it seems almost to good to be true.


    I do think they are starting to have Fitz develop more than brother-ly feelings for Simmons but the feelings maybe aren't returned? That was the only part of the episode I was a bit meh about. Actually, also, I was a bit meh about Simmons' general cluelessness. Oh! Can't believe I almost forgot - Amy A! I wasn't sure I would like her on AoS. There were times on Angel where I was kind of over her, but I thought she was just perfect tonight - her chemistry with Clark Gregg was LOVELY. Perfect casting there.

    Definitely looking forward to the May/Coulson & May/Hill & Coulson/Hill reunions though. :D

  39. MurderMondays23 April 2014 at 03:40

    I'm thinking she is connected to SWORD. My theory is that SWORD was in charge of the TAHITI project and May's mom will have that information and May can use it to help Coulson and, maybe, repair their relationship a bit.

  47. Cathy23 April 2014 at 03:48

    I'm unhappy to even consider it, but maybe that's the reason Ward pushed him to talk to Simmons. Maybe Ward knows Garrett has evil plans for Fitz.

    Well, Garrett was very vocal about how usefull Fitz would be for HYDRA, so I can definitely see them kidnapping him and locking him up to make him work for them. I hope not, he seems so... frail. I'm not sure he would be able to comparmentalize things enough to come out relatively okay on the other end.

  57. Cathy23 April 2014 at 04:02

  58. Amanda Corbie23 April 2014 at 04:04

    1st of all Simmons has proven that she is the smartest person on the team "...the TARDIS"
    the episode was awesome...except I was hoping for a little bit more Ward-Sky action; esp before massive betrayal. I think Ward is redeemable and even though he told flower girl that he didnt care for anyone on the team - total bull Ward care otherwise he would have killed May. Though I feel bad for poor Eric. I cant wait for next epi. love teh May/Mom interchange it was awesome.

  59. Victoria Llanos23 April 2014 at 04:05

    Well, he obviously has sociopathic tendencies, but if he never knew better until later in life, there's really not much he could do. Wether we accept it or not, we're mostly defined by our upbringing and the enviroment in which that took place.
    Still, I think that after all this months with the team, he should have a better grasp of honest and good human relations, and he should be able to tell the diference between that and his sick, twisted relationship with Garrett. Who, by the way, I really missed in this episode, LOL

  67. Cathy23 April 2014 at 04:09

    Yeah, it was nice, but maybe he knows Garrett has terrible plans for Fitz and instead of avoiding it all he thinks, hmm, let the kid at least try with Simmons before we chain him to a desk and use him as a minion-slave to produce evil machinery.

    I see where Coulson is coming from. He can't stay. Why let her know he is alive when they can't be together? He's protecting her the only way he can. It also made him understand why May did what she did to protect him.

    Ok, QUESTION (how very Dwight Schrute): it seems to me that they are making Simmons more morally ambiguous and distanced from Fitz, while they are building Fitz' character as braver and even nicer.
    Clues:
    a) Simmons is obsessed with the GH 315 and Hydra now has tons of it to analyse;
    b) Simmons is close to Tripplett, whose allegiance we can not be sure of (if he was Hydra, he knew Ag. Hand wasn't Hydra and could fake the whole resistance);
    c) Simmons is distancing herself from Fitz;
    d) Simmons' lie detector test showed she is not truly commited to the cause.
    f) Hydra has the freezing kid, who could be "their" new Fitz to be paired up with Simmons.
    Could Simmons go to Hydra while Fitz stays on Shield's side and they not only be separated but arch-enemies who know all from one another?

    Ya i realized after I re-watched the episode that it was about going to de-crypt the hard-drive.
    Also did you notice how all the conversations that Ward has with May, Fitz and Skye that he was indirectly referring to himself.
    With May he said that "when you have your orders you will do it not matter what they price"
    With Fitz talking about Simmonds and telling him that Simmonds because you never know when you will have the chance.
    Then with Skye when he told her that May left and Skye said that "she played them and if she really cared about them" and he said it was her mission, so from that I believe that Ward really does care about the team.
    there were a lot of good moments with Skye where he was I believe truly honest with her when it came to his brother and about his parents and him not being a good man. So there is definitely hope and there were a lot of hints to his redemption.

    This is something that's been turning around my head since last episode when she so openly questioned Coulson. Sure, she was right to question him, but it didn't sit right with the Simmons we were introduced to at the beginning of the season. It would be a very nice twist if she went to HYDRA, I would love to see her going against Fitz, but I'm not sure we've been given enough reasons for her to turn. I mean the Simmons we know is a loyal friend, and I'm not sure what would justify her turning to the man that tortured Coulson and almost killed Skye.

    Well, if history has taught us anything is that he loves breaking our hearts and he'll continue doing it, LOL. But I don't think Ward will take Skye to Garrett because no matter how loyal he is to him, he must know he will torture her and disect her, and I really want to believe that's a line he wont cross. Hopefully, it's not just wishfull thinking.

    Now, besides the action and awesomeness, there was also a lot of funny moments...

    "The NSA. You want to hack the NSA? That's a bad idea, Skye. That's a terrible idea. The NSA's already got S.H.I.E.L.D. on its watch list. Why poke the bear--the big, scary, waterboarding bear?" Loved it!

    "And nothing bad happens when you work with something called "Darkforce."

    Ok, but her life is devoted to Science and if she believes that GH 315 is going to save thousands of people she might be able to be convinced to work for Hydra "for the greater good" and "for the sake of science".

    Agreed. I suspect this might be the case with Triplett... but I don't feel so strongly about it.
    But I don't think Simmons already is HYDRA, I believe she could turn HYDRA.

    As a scientist she is logical at heart, so I can see her being swayed by the greater good argument. She wouldn't be the first one and certainly won't be the last one.

    The issue being that the reveal of Triplett as a HYDRA agent would hold no emotional appeal to the audience. Hes a guest star character. People felt betrayed by Ward because they had started to connect to him.

  103. Cathy23 April 2014 at 06:29

    Triplett being Hydra would not mean betrayal, of course. He is too "new" for that. What it might do is help woo Simmons to Hydra now that she trusts him.

    One theory I read is that Simmons works for an unknown force who know what Skye is and her task is to look after Skye - this makes a lot of sense also see her reaction to Skye nearly dying.


    Another theory is she isn't Hydra but AIM.

  107. principe.encantador23 April 2014 at 06:58

    I don't like what the screenwriter are doing with Ward. I do think also we would need to see some inner battle within him for his actions in order that we don't lose faith in that Ward can be redeemed or he had affection for the team. Right now I can only see him like a murderer without scruple he is playing with Skye and he won't vacillate to hurt her if necessary. In this way I am losing all sympathy for him and I am starting to wish someone kills him.

    Step by step they are approaching the point where Ward won't be interesting for me and I won't think about him.

    I'd be okay with Ward staying bad. His character is a lot more tolerable that way and the actor seems better suited for it. Shades of grey in him could be nice though.

    For a Whedon show, it's not that bad really. Just wait till he feels someone needs to die in order to pay a "toll" for some epic battle. That's when it gets all "dude, you just hate us don't you?" LOL.

    I go on so many sites I can't remember now, I should have bookmarked it!

Or maybe she really is just a good person and friend! I just feel there is something more to her.

    I think Simmons is straight up SHIELD right now but we might see her get recruited by someone else. Her answer to the "Why are you here?" question kind of hints that she doesn't have the kind of loyalty to SHIELD that Fitz or Coulson does.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Cathy23 April 2014 at 15:58

    Exactly.
    It would be yet another painful twist to separate her from Fitz, but very Whedonesque. They are presented as best buds, are inseparable and he realizes he is in love with her than BAM. She is Hydra now and they are fighting against each other while knowing each other's way of thinking and acting.

  125. Victoria Llanos23 April 2014 at 16:55

    That's a great theory! I really like the idea of Simmons working for a third party that it's not evil, and her knowing what Skye would add some interesting plot twists, although if there is something like this going on, we won't find out until next season, provided we get one, of course.

  126. Victoria Llanos23 April 2014 at 17:01

    I actually find him more interesting now that he's evill, but I think the way he's acting doesn't make any sense. It's not normal for him to not be conflicted in some way, not after everything he's gone through with the team... I really wish they'd show us some of that...

    Absolutely bloody amazing. I love dark!HYDRA!Ward, I am so in awe of his acting abilities now, like, really, 11/10, man. It makes me want to keep him dark, and make him head of HYDRA, US division. But now Skye is playing HIM, and I can't wait to see what an interesting way of screwing him over she devises.


    We also learn that Tripplet's grandfather was a Howling Commando, and YESSS, more backstory on those precious babies. I hope he's descended from Gabe, because DAMN, SON, those are some good genes.


    Then May, suffering with dignity over the break-up with Phil. Leaving the Bus. Ex-husband! MOTHER! So many amazing secrets, Mel's always been my favourite, and now she got 100% more interesting. I wonder about her mother - what agency are we talking about? (CIA? Or are we preparing to dabble in with more comic book agencies? *gasp* SWORD?) And AWW YISS for trying to find Maria, probably the next best-in-the-know person around. Considering Hill is in the next episode, I guess May DOES find her.


    Finally, the Cellist. Such a lovely person, such a lovely story. I'm so happy about what they did about her. Coulson's kiss to the forehead, and then Simmons taking his place.

    I've been really enjoying the show, and even more so since the Hydra stuff began. I like this Ward, so much more than the bland Agent Ward we've seen up till the Hydra storyline. Bad Ward is so much more interesting. And, I think it not only helps make his character more interesting, but gives the team, as well as the show, richer and more complex storytelling. The villains on the show have been almost forgettable. Giving the villains more story, and complex characters, makes the show better, in my opinion. In fact, if the show is renewed. It may serve to make the show's world more interesting if Garrett and Ward are regulars next season, but are the show's main anatagonists, giving the show much needed decent villains.

  143. playdoc28 April 2014 at 03:18

    Good points! I was pleasantly surprised that Skye was able to keep up the pretense with Ward like that, considering how devastating the betrayal must have been to her.

    That scene with May and her mom was great. May's mom seems to be a hoot. "MY agency hasn't fallen apart"...HA!
