OH MY GOD. Maynard is an abusive ass who I'm sure hasn't changed, especially now that he's a senator, but I am excited.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Ward will be able to stand up to him for once
Awesome news, can't wait to see him in SHIELD.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I read the episode title as "A Fractured Nose", lol?
ReplyDeleteJust WoW!!! I can't wait for this episode!!!
ReplyDeleteBecause that's probably going to happen at some time during the episode...
ReplyDeleteHopefully someone will break Maynard's nose.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I always hate abusive siblings in media, guess Maynard Ward and Klaus Mikaelson should grab coffee someday and get blown up by Grant then
ReplyDeleteGreat! A Ward episode! Hopefully it will shed more light on his home situation and now we know why Trip said his familly was like the Kennedys.
ReplyDeletehopefully Ward, I know he's like 'the most hated character' atm on AoS but good lord I'm rooting for him to strike back to Hydra and his brother...HARD
ReplyDeleteI presume this is the same senator that was mentioned in last nights episode.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! I m so excited!
ReplyDeleteYes, same here! Maynard and Ward's parents broke him and then Garrett took advantage of that. Ward just needs to realize and come to terms with the fact that Garrett was also abusive. Garrett broke him completely, and I'm not surprised there are some mental health issues now.
ReplyDeleteThey continue to kill it in the casting department.
ReplyDeleteI love Tim but oh dear I can't see him as anyone other then Peter Burke or Jonesy.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, the person that changed Grant into the traitor that he is today. This is going to be interesting.
ReplyDeleteTbh Ward is the only reason I'm still watching, well, him and FizSimmons, I love those 3 characters :)
ReplyDeleteLol I'd like to see him try to kill Klaus, it wouldn't go well for him.
ReplyDeletewould still be rooting for Ward though, every attempt to teach this little prick a lesson goes positive in my book
ReplyDeleteDid I read that right? Ward's abusive older brother is a senator now? Man, that's one screwed up family.
ReplyDeleteTrip did mention that "they were the cable version of the Kennedys" last season. Apparently money doesn't always bring happiness and has a dark side because of two abusive parents and a sibling. And then of course, Grant was kidnapped by a psychopath and abused some more!
ReplyDeleteReally hope the other two siblings got out and are fine but I doubt it.
He's learning, slowly but surely.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. I was wondering how they would make Ward sympathetic again, if they are going to try to make him sympathetic again - his crazy-eyed apology to Skye was not a great start - but I like this angle a lot. The best part is that an encounter with his brother could really push him either way, to start to find redemption or to decide he wants to stay dark side even without Garrett around. This is a very cool element to add in for Ward's story, and I like that he's having to face his demons, rather than just going good for Skye's sake or whatever.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love Dekay, and if Ward is the good son, the Senator should be a crazy fun, seriously evil villain. Definitely approve.
I can see that happening lol
ReplyDeleteOH DAMNNNNNNNN.... Excitement doesn't quite cover it.
ReplyDeleteYou all must be reading my thoughts! ^_^
ReplyDeleteGrant Ward brother the Senator is definately connected to HYDRA
ReplyDeletepeter burke the abusive son of a bitch that destroyed grant ward and is now a senator wow it's going to be hard to see him like that but then again i DID see him as a man trying to kill a little girl on chuck but still it's going to be hard, i hope ward stands up to him and he can get rid of that demon once and for all
ReplyDeleteHi, Just saw that Marvel is calling Ward's brother "Christian" not, Maynard.
ReplyDeleteRandom thought I just had: could the "Rose" in the title refer to Grant and Maynard's yet to be named sister? We know a bit about the Maynard/Grant/younger brother relationship, but the only thing we know about the sister is that she exists, perhaps this episode will shed some light on her.
ReplyDeleteTim DeKay is great, but I don't see how could you possibly put these two next to each other and pretend they are biologically related o_O
ReplyDeleteinteresting casting. Waiting to see how that storyline plays out
