Hey, get back over to the Gotham thread and cry about your dead parents
Please forgive me, I would never talk to Batman like that in real life

The Marvel Universe is too Great to not Witness.Hey, get back over to the Gotham thread and cry about your dead parents
at this prediction of Ward's redemption (from the comments section of the AV Club review)Here’s what’s going to happen with Ward.
Round about halfway through the season, bad guys will break into the SHIELD base. And Skye will be all alone, outnumbered, outgunned, and surviving by her wits. She’ll try to take down a bad guy, he’ll disarm her, comment that she should have brought a better weapon.
She’ll be all: “I did”, cuing the revelation that she’s let Ward out of his cell.
(These bad guys will be really bad guys, to justify her crossing that line)
Anyhow, Ward will take out all the bad guys, then meekly surrender when Coulson orders him back into his cage. And as he’s led away, handcuffed, he’ll look back over his shoulder and make eye contact with Skye. Who will be left staring after him, an ambiguous expression on her face.
(Can Chloe Bennett do ambiguous? She’s grown as an actor; I think she can pull it off. Failing that, shoot for “wistful”)
And that will be the beginning of his redemption arc.
That is what I am expecting and it will be terrible.

They should have had Ward go full on evil.

24 SEP 2014 BY MATT FOWLER
Now that the Season 2 premiere of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD has aired, setting up Coulson's global search for allies, it's time to summon some more heroes. So check out this image of Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi Morse - aka Mockingbird.
For the full image, you can head over to EW.com, but here's a big look at Palicki's highly trained S.H.I.E.L.D. operative (and "head of Hydra Security" as ABC states - whatever that signals) Bobbi Morse, before she becomes Mockingbird.
Palicki will appear as Morse in the season's fifth episode - “A Hen in the Wolf House" - on October 21st.

SHIELD Producers Tease What's to Come
Now that you've seen the premiere, the SHIELD producers discuss what's to come as Season 2 continues.
24 SEP 2014 BY ERIC GOLDMAN
The cast and producers of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD gathered on the Disney lot Monday night, for a screening of the show’s Season 2 premiere, as well as the second episode, airing next week. While I have to keep mum about that one, I will say that it’s another strong episode, following up on the season premiere, and underlines SHIELD’s new dynamic and vibe moving forward.
Getting the SHIELD crew to reveal secrets is notably tough – they teach them well at Marvel Academy – but a few interesting tidbits were revealed in the Q&A that followed.
Spoilers for the Agents of SHIELD: Season 2 premiere follow.
Kree in a Box?
Eagle eyed viewers will note that the flashback to 1945 that opened the episode not only included the introduction of the original 084, the "obelisk", but also another box briefly opened by Dum Dum Dugan that contained a blue… something. Which seemed to be a human form.
So will we be learning more about that? Said executive producer Jed Whedon, “I think you know us well enough that we don't put anything there,” with fellow Maurissa Tancharoen responding, “It's not just for kicks.” Meanwhile, star Clark Gregg ("Phil Coulson") couldn’t resist exclaiming “That's un-Kree-lievable!”
Was Gregg telling us exactly what was in the box? Maybe, maybe not. But on the heels of that other (or was it the same?!) blue body seen in Season 1 in the present, and the introduction of the Kree in Guardians of the Galaxy, it seems something is brewing in the MCU...
Off the Grid
The producers all seemed to be enjoying the show’s new dynamic, with a much smaller SHIELD operating as a fugitive, vigilante force. Said Jeff Bell of the difference from Season 1, “It’s really hard to cheer for the NSA. 'Yay! They can listen to everything. They have everything!' The team are much more underdogs this year. 'This is what we have, how can we make it work?' The stakes are much higher because of that and for us, we think it's easy to cheer for the team. That's part of why we did it and we do like how it feels texturally too. It's a way to start fresh.”
Bell also noted, “Last year there was the Triskelion, which is down and we were off on a little plane by ourselves. And now, in essence, the Playground, our headquarters, is the center of SHIELD, so Coulson’s the director. There's got to be much more going on, not just with us, but around the world that he has to take track of.”
Down in the Basement
We got a look at the traitorous Grant Ward in the season premiere, and while the SHIELD crew wouldn’t give any details, they did offer this ominous hint.
Tancharoen: You saw he was in our basement..."
Whedon: “When you have a monster in the basement, generally there's a problem.”
The Trouble With Fitz
Regarding the reveal that Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) not only was having trouble remembering things, but was imagining Simmons speaking to him, EP Jeph Loebnoted, “The writers had a long talk with [Iain] about where Fitz was headed. We didn't just make it up. You spent a lot of time researching what happens after you've been deprived of oxygen for awhile and where that goes.”
Said De Caestecker, “A lot of the work was really done for me beforehand. They'd done a lot of research on it before me and I did a little bit as well and looked up on it. With something like that, that's really effected people in real life, I suppose there's a bigger deal of responsibility towards it sometimes.”
The producers and Elisabeth Henstridge all promised we would learn where Simmons went.
Daddy Dearest
We know we’ll meet Skye’s mysterious father this year, and that he’ll be played by Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks, How I Met Your Mother). While there is plenty to learn about who or what he is, Tancharoen remarked, “Coulson is essentially Skye's father figure, so it will be interesting to see what happens when that father comes into play.”
Added Bell, “For us, that's the big thing. You've got the man who's been her father and then you've got her biological father. The whole team operates as a family, but to be able to play that is pretty cool.”
New Recruits
The SHIELD cast has expanded, with the team now including B.J. Britt as Antoine Triplett, Alphonso 'Mac' Mackenzie as Henry Simmons and Nick Blood as Lance Hunter. Said Whedon, “it gives us more options as storytellers in terms of where we can go and how we can divide things up. and more voices. We're pretty much in love with all the characters at this point, so we always try and find something for each of them.”
Said Tancharoen, “It may seem like we're adding a lot of new people but it's just an example of what SHIELD is now. We're seeing a guy like Mac, who might have been a mechanic at the Triskelion, but we never would have heard from him before - but now he is part of our team. “
Don't Say It
One of the more amusing moments during the conversation occurred when a discussion about whether the show has any less network restrictions in its new 9:00pm timeslot, leading to a tangent about words they can and cannot use and this awesome exchange:
Jeffrey Bell: Honestly, we cannot say dikk.
Maurissa Tancharoen: And it really, really bothered us that we couldn't say dikk.
Bell: You could say douchebag but not dikk, which seems wrong.
Chloe Bennet ("Skye"): dikk is the most natural thing ever, right?!

The way I see Ward ... I feel like he was not necessarily loyal to Hydra, but moreso to Garrett. Ward would have spent his days in juvie had Garrett not broken him out and showed him survival skills. It's just that Garrett was so deep in Hydra's pocket that he had no choice but to follow his lead even as his sanity slipped. That kind of makes me see how he can be redeemed.
