Note the two Wards at the back, and the snarl-like shadow next to the Ward on the right. Wonder what that could be?

That's a crack not a shadow. And I think that's the new character Lance Hunter played by Nick Blood.

Lance Hunter is on the far left. Ward is on the right, looking the wrong way and separated by the crack.

Great poster design!

Last year's posters had specific designs. I wonder if this one has similar choices. Like with Fitz looking up while Simmons is looking down. And with Skye looking toward Coulson while May looks away. Ward with the crack and back turned is obvious.

Yeah, the crack was pointed out to me by another person right after I posted. :doh: And man, Hunter so looks like the bearded Ward that's been shown in the previews.

Oh yeah, I think the Fitz and Simmons thing is definitely intentional. Both of them are also the only characters with their hands together.

It looks like Skye is dressed in covert mission attire. Does this mean she gets some real training between seasons is now more of a field agent than support?

Why? Ward was pretty awesome when he reverted to the sociopath that was his natural personality. His acting where he literally couldn't figure out why Skye was rejecting him, when he betrayed the team was goddamn amazing.

Yea its pretty fuckin' boss when writers just buy all in to the sociopath thing and not just generic villain bullshit.

The acting out of the lack of comprehension was great.

I'd imagine Skye is going to be a badass this season; not to the extent of Agent May, but I doubt she's going to be sidelined as often as she was in the first season. Coulson is going to need as many field agents as he can get this year.

Agent Triplett is only recurring role on SHIELD.

B.J. Britt (the actor who plays Triplett) already has a role on another TV series called "Being Mary Jane," plus other movie roles he's working on. Britt is also rumored to be in "Age of Ultron."

That's dumb, no-one will buy him as an action hero with that name. He should be called Nicky Steamboat.

I'm so bummed. I was hoping for a permanent Triplett for Ward exchange. Triplett-FitzSimmons romance is much more amusing than Skyward.

I like the symbolism of Ward facing the wrong way and being separated from the group by a crack. It tells me the show is going to be as blindly obvious and heavy-handed as it was last season, leaving no room for subtlety or deftness in plotting.

I still hope he turns into Taskmaster. Or just that Taskmaster turns up really. Marvel has a couple of low level super characters that would work great in a television setting and Taskmaster is just 100% entertaining.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.
Coulson looks really angry (angry face, arms crossed) while Skye looks like she is reaching for her gun and in a charging posture. I wonder what that means.

Considering we left off with him writing in an alien language, having displayed the exact kind of behavior we were warned about given his procedure....
