Regarding Terrigen and Daisy, didn't they say the one dude that Ward punched was "secretly funneling Terrigen to Inhumans"? My guess is that will be key to Daisy leveling up in the Matrix, finding his supplier and getting in on that sweet, sweet Terrigen action.

They should have her turn out to have completely different powers if that happens. She throws her arms out to create a shockwave and, I don't know, super powerful silly string erupts from her fingernails instead.

I wonder if they're going to use the simulation to explain, what, exactly, Vijay's powers are. (And that way it gives the characters a leg up on him when they encounter him again in the real world). Also, there's a non-zero chance that Skye or another sympathetic character is going to end up in that machine. Bonus points if it's Simmons, and being tortured by Fitz is the only way she can get access to him (in order to snap him out of his false identity or whatever, nothing weird.)

The thing I most enjoyed was that Simmons was having nothing to do with "good guy" Ward. She just immediately recognized that he was still a selfish, backstabbing psycho. You and me, Jemma. We will resist the Ward rehabilitation attempt.

In a recent episode of Legends of Tomorrow Felicity was a vigilante in an alternate timeline. She broke her ankle jumping off a ledge and Damian Dahrk snapped her neck.

We have no idea what Aida did with the human she was based on, but they really don't have anything to do with each other besides Radcliffe being a creeper and Aida being insecure. She could be chilling somewhere with Radcliffe or dead because Aida's a vindictive god. Aida's Madame Hydra is separate from her (and the clear implication was that that's real Aida monitoring the framework/living out her jollies and not just a simulated program like most of the people presumably are).

Except, we're not dealing with a Ward in any way based on the real Ward. This Ward is almost positively based on season 1 Ward's act; taken from Daisy's memories back when she thought he was a real good guy and was leaning towards him romantically. Since he's created from the memories of the "good parts" of Ward, and the "painful parts" were removed by Aida, it's likely he's sincerely basically season 1 milk toast hero Ward. ED: If the show manages to get picked up (Come on ABC, Jesus, at least the show is doing very well with critics) for another season I would be 100% good with an LMD of good guy Ward.

Blazing Ownager posted:ED: If the show manages to get picked up (Come on ABC, Jesus, at least the show is doing very well with critics) for another season I would be 100% good with an LMD of good guy Ward. I've read an interview with Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancheroen aren't planning on stopping the show this season; that they've not written a series finale, but rather a typical season finale (presumably coming complete with a cliffhanger, though I don't think they said that; I can't find the actual interview now). I'm not sure whether that decision is coming straight from Perlmutter or if it's an informed one of their part. I like to think it's because the show's had a hundred episodes (or ideally five seasons) already paid for, which might explain why the show went into early syndication back in its third season. I also think Marvel is unlikely to leave a show on a cliffhanger without a renewal, simply out of the need for brand loyalty when you've got so many new shows premiering in the next year. You don't want potential fans pissed at you when you're trying to sell them on several new things, particularly with fan loyalty cooling on Netflix Marvel. At the very least you'd want some sort of a transition (and they must realise that a big part of their audience is comprised of overseas markets and cord cutters). Otherwise, I've got little in the way of hope here -- the ratings are a big deal, despite everything else I said. That said, it's not clear how the potential upcoming writer's strike could affect the show, though going off past evidence, it seems likely to tip the balance in favour of a renewal while simultaneously dooming all potential upcoming pilots. But again, it's unclear.

Once I heard about the LMD storyline, I kind of assumed that somehow a recurring character would end up being one. It was kind of crappy to think that one of the main characters would die and become one for successive seasons. LMD Ward allows the conceit because he gets to be dead (for good reason) and then gets to be 'alive' again as a slightly different version that was redeemed in some manner. It's probably not the best outcome but once they let the LMD genie out of the bottle, it's hard to go back.

I'm hoping if ward does become an LMD that they handle it just like Season 2 Flash did with Harrison Wells, and have everybody constantly hating on him for things his double did. Or a whole episode of "Mistakes were made..." "by you" "...and people got hurt" "by you": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jOz5WY6Z4c

sticklefifer posted:There's no way Ward is not a triple agent in deep cover. Even if May's different events changed things, it still wouldn't change Ward's upbringing and loyalties. Ward's whole character was that he was raised to be super loyal to one person. That person WAS Garrett, who died (and is almost certainly dead in this world, too, for unfortunate reasons ). He never had any kind of ideological stake in Hydra, he just followed whoever would take him. He always had a 'person.' In early Season 2, that person was Daisy, and him joining up with Hydra was partly an attempt to get her closer to her father and by result get closer to her. When he realized that would never happen, his new person became Kara (I think that was her name? Agent 13? May-face?) and he became obsessed with getting her revenge on people who wronged her, turning against Hydra and going after Bobbi. Once she died, he tried to avenge her, and did his own thing for a while, but he kinda sucked as a leader and eventually latched onto Powers Boothe as his new person, who filled his head with pseudo-religious crap and turned him into a Hive-worshipper. Then Coulson caved his chest in. The only thing that's changed in this world is that Skye/Daisy is now Ward's 'person' and Hydra Skye didn't reject him violently via gunshots to the back. So he's loyal to her. He has no ideological stake in the Resistance or Hydra-- he has no ideology at all basically. He's still the same character, still the same hollowed out loser waiting for someone to fill him up. He just has a different person filling him now.

Season 1 is available on DVD now (i believe), but I think I'm missing your overall point. I was just pointing out that ABC isn't entirely unwilling to let a Marvel show die unresolved if the ratings are poor. That it had bad overseas distribution seems orthogonal to that. Is AoS available on Netflix in some countries? It isn't in Canada... I've only ever watched the show live.

So I just hate Ward (I mean, I loved to hate Ward, but I hate him) and will never accept any kind of "good guy" Ward. I'll be the rear end in a top hat constantly fighting against the thread tide because drat that crazy, psycho, evil fucker just because NOW his crazy, psycho obsession is Daisy/Skye. But I don't really get why anyone would want "Good Guy Ward" as a LMD since that's the guy who sucked and the one everyone likes is "Crazy Villain Ward." If a LMD Ward escaped and then went evil (because that is his true nature) over rejection by Daisy or something that I'd accept even if I'd still curse his name. But a "good" Ward in SHIELD? Icky and boring.
