AoS: S03x02

Hey Guys,

here we go with the second episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and it already made Ward discussed again. Again i have a very different opinion on all that. But i understand where they came from. So maybe will we just start with it. So i have it behind me.

Building Hydra again

Everyone that hated Ward and said that he was Hydra feels now like they were right and the other that loved Ward are disapointed in the showrunners. That are the too opinions i found. I wanted Ward go down the way of redemption. I wanted him to heal, to start over and that he found happiness. We saw him a whole season try to help Coulson and his team. When i have the second season on DVD i will write about it more. Now i just want to say that i am really sad that he is going down this way. But after the end of season two it was clear that it had to end like that. Everyone is angry at the write and want Ward to be killed so it ends… Ward becomes Gareth and yes that is the worst nightmare of people going through this but i also think that that is what happend way to often in the real world. Because they people don’t help them. Friends that don’t judge you,family… anything you can hold on. So Ward loosing everything again. He is broken again and this time he can’t hold on to the believe to go back together with his team. So he gives in. He changes and become the thing he knows how he can become it. This is a sad and for a story that could have ended good.
But why does it not end good and that is the really sad thing. The thing nobody really talks about. The team didn’t give him a second chance. Everyone get one, Skye even give one to her father. But Ward? They never even thing about giving him a chance. They are acting like he is a monster. Coulson know his background story. He knows it and he worked with Romanoff (who actually gets a second chance). But not Ward.
In a way i understand it but on the other hand i don’t. Mike can be forgiven and Ward not. Mike did it to save his son. Ward did it to save his ‘father’. Yes that is the only different.
Ward didn’t do anything worse than what Mike did… you know but look. Not just the team on TV also the fans of the show are not giving him a chance. They judge him and tell that he is evil, that is hydra. What we should be talking at is not that Ward took that way. We should be talking about the people that decided that he doesn’t deserve a second chance and what it would have chanced if just one of them listend to him. Just one.

Saving Simmons

A big part of the episode is the saving of Simmons. When Fitz found the first real hint of what the stone is, the team backs him up. They get the old Asgardinen and trying to open the portal. From that point the saving of Simmons is going really ‘easy’ and also they just distroy the artifact so no danger from it again. This was easy… The last scene indicates that what happend to Jemma will have a big role. I really hope it. I actually are a little bit disapointed. Everything turns out way to easy. Nothing really interessting happend. Hunter was actually again the best.

May and Hunter

May is back… it was clear that she would be but i wouldn’t have missed her. After her action in the finale, i really beginn to dislike her. What she did was evil… and i am not ready to forgive her. But of course Ward is the bad guy here. I get that Hunter wants revenge that is who he is. But i hate that they actually do this. Because it split the team up and removes the most interessting relationship from the focus. Hunter and Fitz that is what i wanted to see and now we got Hunter and May? I hope that everything went wrong and the have to go back really fast…

The next episode actually looks way more promising. Lincoln is the other reason to watch this show.
