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.

AoS: S03x01

Hey Guys,

sorry that you had to wait for this article of the start of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. but i am really tired the last days. But now we talk about the really strong start. The only thing i don’t like is that Ward wasn’t part of the first episode.

Life changes

In the finale of season two showed us that the stuff that create Inhumans got into the ocean. So it started with people becoming inhumans. But there are a few groups that want them. Of course S.H.I.E.L.D. is searching for them but they are always a little late. There is a new organisation that collect the Inhumans and someone that killed Inhumans. The group ATCU sees all Inhumans as threat…
Skye and Mack doesn’t really made a great job to explain what happend to Joey the Inhuman they found. Joey has to give up is whole life and trust people he doesn’t know.
This is one reason why Skye want Lincolns help. But Lincoln doesn’t want anything to do with it. For him this power is not longer gift like he thought before.

Fitzsimmons

Fitz can’t except that Jemma is missing. He is searching her and follows every lead. Everyone things that it is not go for him, but nobody wants to talk with him about it. So they let do it. Coulson is the one that tells him in the end that he needs to accept the fact. They don’t give her up but they need Fitz. They need to keep going forward.
So of course it isn’t a surprise that Jemma survived. The real question is where she is.

Team on the edge

The team has seen better times. Bobbis sitting on the bank and work in the laboritry. Fitz is off to his own little missions. Skye tries to lead. It seems like the proplems are already to much for S.H.I.E.L.D. to handle. May is still on vacation and it seems like Coulson doesn’t if she is coming back and when she is.
I don’t miss May, but we will see how everything works out.

AoS: S02x21/22 – SOS

Hey Guys,
it is already time to say goodbye to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. until autumn. The final is really good stuff a few things are a little forgotten but maybe we will see a few but in season three. But yeah i kinda like the final. So lets talk about the episode.

Troja

We all new that Skyes father back at S.H.I.E.L.D. is a trap and not a gift. But there is something what Skyes Mother doesn’t thought of. The feelings for his daughter are stronger than the feelings for her. We get the whole story. First it seemed like her father was getting crazy and killed everyone on the search for her. Than we hear that at first the mother was with him but give up when she saw that they became monsters. Now we get the truth. All that dead people are not killed by Cal. They are killed by Skyes mother. We finally see what her true powers are as well. She absorbs the energy of people. She recovers and stays young and the others die.
Coulson can bring Cal to see that this war will bring Skye in danger and so Cal is fighting with S.H.I.E.L.D. to save his daugther. We see in the end he was a good guy, manipulated by a woman and getting crazy over the lose of his child. They give him a chance and in the end a clean new start.
The last part is for me the worst ever. Why does everyone think earsing memories is something good. They take his daugther from him. He could have give the good things even with the memory now that he could get help.

The Dorn

After Raina telling Skye that she is ment to lead and Raina to protect Skye, i thought we what see and really interessting relationship develope between this two in season 3. But the lost a very good character with so much potential. Raina is the one that makes with her death Skye see the truth about her mother. Skye already in a big conflict between the Inhumans and S.H.I.E.L.D. has now to betray the Inhumans to stop a war. She has to stand against the mother she search so long for.
Lincoln is also questioning Skyes Mother. One reason more to love him. He chooses to stand with Skye and helps S.H.I.E.L.D. I really hope we will see a lot more of him in the next season.

Bobbi & Ward

Ward wanted to help Kara/Agent 33. I really believe that he really wanted to help her heal. But he doesn’t know how. Because i think Bobbi is also right. Ward couldn’t find the right why to help her. He begann to make her like himself. This is what i was afraid of. He doesn’t wanted to be like Garreth but in the end he was like him. With the differents he really don’t want to make her that way. Ward isn’t healt. He just removed all the pieces that reminds him of his wounds.
They want to destroy her and Bobbi can’t be so they go for Hunter. They wanted that Hunter opens the door to Bobbis prison and got shot. But it didn’t work out. Bobbi is getting shot and i really was afraid that she will die and i am so glad that she survived. Also this is more than realistic why Hunter and she will forgive each other again.
The sad thing is that Ward loses the last think that made him good. Maybe it wasn’t love but it was something near. Actually i beginn to hate May. Because she new that Ward would be there and she new he would shot her without thinking and she send her their with her face. She made him kill her. That is the worst and it breaks his love for the team completly. Now he will not help them anymore, he will hunt them down. I just hope that he still knows that Fitz isn’t into that.

Mack and the axes

Mack wanted to leave S.H.I.E.L.D. but the war with the Inhumans is stopping that plan. And for the first time we see Mack don’t react with aggressivity on the Inhumans. He doesn’t want a war. Also he gets to work with Skye. He is the one with Coulson and Fitz that stops Gordon. Also saves Coulson with the axe from the dead. So Mack will stay and get a new position. Acutally i am glad that nobody of the team died.

Fitzsimmons

Jemma is ready to stand to her feelings for Fitz. Of course she choose the ‘right’ moment for it. But she made clear that Fitz knows that she is ready go another step. The moment she tells him. I knew something would happen. He will die or she. Or the stone will eat her. It was totally a possiblity. I am pretty sure what ever happend to Simmons it will change her again and it is sad the did so little with all that potential of her character changes in that season and the relationship of them. I just hope with had a big bang between them again so they totally speak each other out and can find a way together again. I don’t see that the developement we saw was unrealistic. I really think that is one of the most realistic thinks on the show. But they have still really different oppions about the powers and the changes the all made. There was so much more potential.

AoS: S02x20 – Scars

So Guys,
here it goes about the episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with so much stupid things but it is a really nice episode. It has everything i love about it Ward, Fitz and Hunter. May on the other hand is right now on a pass that i didn’t exspected.

United S.H.I.E.L.D.

The idea of Coulson is not bad. Even Fury had someone looking over him. But Fury never did what they told him. Also i would have made a new group and not take the leaders of the ‘real’ S.H.I.E.L.D. as counslers. We know what everyone of the have incomon with each other the hate of the powered people. That is also reason i don’t understand why Coulson send Gonzales there for the talks. Now we know because they couldn’t kill Coulson, but it was a really stupid idea. What i don’t understand is why Bobbi didn’t know that May had to be on two planes. Or is this a trick?

May changing sides

I never thought we would see this but May is changing sides. She thinks that Coulson lost it and that Skye is the evidence of that. For her powered people are dangerous and her opinion seems to get extreme form episode to episode. Skye is now a danger and no longer a s.h.i.e.l.d. agent. Will May go through with it? Skye and her conaction in season 2 was more deeply than before. Now it seems that maybe they will break.

Raina

The episode plays with all we know about Raina. She always thinks about herself first and want more and more. Here we are and it seems like she wants to take the place of Skyes mother. But in the end maybe they should have listen to Raina. Because Skyes mother is starting a war and Raina seems to wanted to prevent that.

Everything else

Mack is leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. and that is not really surprising. He doesn’t trust Coulson and he doesn’t want to work for him. Maybe know will still get S.W.O.R.D.. We will see. Jemma is beating herself about killing Ward, about failing to kill Ward. Even know that they seem to be on the same page again. They drift apart again. Fitz finds Jemmas new attiude scary.
The best about the episode is Fitz, Hunter and Coulson talking in his office.

May 7

AoS: S02x18/19

Hey Guys, i am really sorry, i just forgot that i hadn’t write it yet. So here it comes.

The Frenemy of My Enemy

One of the best things in that episode is Fitz and Hunter. Fitz is getting back to Coulson and Hunter. It is sad that we don’t see much of his running but all the interaction between Fitz and Hunter are worth it. Fitz has a lot of problems with Ward back on the board. Ward on the other hand tries to conact with Fitz again. It does go very good, but this is not surprising and even now Fitz is the mostlikely to forgive him.
Coulson is back to his cruel self and gives Ward the totally amazing choice to lose all his memories. Coulson will just let the good memories there and everything else will be earsed. How can someone really believe this is what good guys do? Ward don’t have good memories apart from having the team.
Skye choose to see the good in Cal but still can’t forgive Ward. Nothing more to say to that business. Hydra got there hands on Mike and Lincoln. Coulson get a glimpse at Skye and we see that Ward is not over Skye yet, not that i believed it.
Simmons is telling May that she and Fitz get the cube out and she tell the other. Simmons feels betrayed and i am too. I acpeted more trust for Coulson than that.

The dirty half dozen

One of the most interessting things is May because she really seems to have a problem with Coulsons secrets.This could become really interessting. On the other hand is Ward back on the team. Which is the reason for a lot of aggression in the air. This is the old school team form season one we missed so much and it shows us how much everyone changed. Ward tries to explain why he did what he did. Nobody is ready to forgive him. Also it shows us again the difference between Fitz and Simmons. Simmons has so much hate because of Hydra and the atampt of murder her. For Fitz it is the worst that Ward destroyed this family and it is what ward thinks too. That is what i believe in.
Simmons shows us how big her changes really are. Here she is trying to kill Ward and nearly susided. I no Ward got alot of hate for this sentence but he is right. ‘I am so disapointed in you.’ Is it understandable what Jemma does? Yes it is. Of course it is. But that doesn’t make it right. Fitz would never killed Ward because he is better as that. Jemma isn’t anymore.
Also i thing for Ward this team stand on a podest. They were so good and true, but they aren’t anymore. He is disapoint that such a great flame can turn so dark.

About the movie lets say, i loved it. If someone wants to know more about my opinion of the movie ask me.

AoS: S02x17 – Melinda

Hey guys,

i am really sorry that i didn’t wrote any review of the last episodes of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. I don’t know i am just never found time and than i forget… so here we go about the episode Melinda. That episode let me down a lot. There was no Ward and really little of Fitzsimmons. Even Bobbi didn’t have much screen time. In that we have a story were you can smell the ‘twist’ from the beginning about May.

Together in the Afterlife

Skye knows now the truth. She likes her mother and is really happy to met her. Her father always was a monster for her, but this is starting to change.
Another let down of her character is how fast she forget about her friends – her family. Didn’t she want to contact them? Something happened and for all she knows her friends could be in danger. But she just stops thinking about it. Yeah, maybe all that stuff is overwhelming… but…

May

The backstory was good to explain what May is. It is a good and tragic story. But did anyone not know that the kid of the real enemy? It was so clear from the start. A little kid like that on a mafia market and when the mother that almost the same thing as the people that are controlled… I don’t understand why the take so much time for twist that wasn’t even a really twist.

May & Simmons

Interessting is that May wants to know want Coulson do. I don’t know where this is coming from. Maybe it is play, maybe she starts thinking like Bobbi.
Simmons on the other hand is standing on Coulsons side. She believes Coulson as good reasons for it. In season one we saw her questioning Coulsons decisions, now she trusts them.
But i think that they let her opinion about the powered people fall under the table and i hope that they don’t let it stay that way.

Everythingelse

The worst is not the absend of Ward (again). It is the perfection of the Hunter Fitz interaction. I love it and i want to see so much more of it. I am just afraid that Hunter will replace Ward and they let the relationship between FitzWard fall under the table too.

AoS: Season 1 – Leo Fitz

Hey Guys,

i thought a long time if i should write about Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons together or if i will do this seperate. Fitz is after Grant Ward (Grant Ward – Season 1) my favorite person. But this is not the reason i decided to do this seperate, it is the storyline they get in the second season. So here i go again and warning for spoilers for the second season. Because i know what happend and this will flow in my thoughts about him. So yeah big spoilers.

Fitzsimmons

This is the biggest thing in his life. Jemma is like his sun. Everything in his life is about her. He works with her, he trust her like nobody else. She is his best friend, his soulmate. They are so close, there isn’t much room for anything else. Nobody really thinks about them seperate. For them they are a unity. You can’t seperate them. This friendship is something really really special. I love to see the way the trust each other, how they work together, how the knows what the other is thinking. This conection is so deep.
So how could it break so easly in season 2? It started when Fitz realize that he love Jemma. He never thought about it. She was just always with him and his best friend. He even tried to land by Skye. But when he is about to lose her. He realize that she is the one. This changes things. In little things we can see. They way Fitz is looking at her now. The way he lies to make her smile. After this point his life is more about Jemma than ever. He is trying to get closer and she is going and open to other people.They both moving in different directions.

The need to prove himself

Fitz is a genius and he knows it. He know what he can do and he knows what he can’t do. He is no Grant Ward, or Mike Peterson or Trip. He can do what he wants, but he never will be like them. This is a good thing, but he sees Jemma looking at these people and he needs to prove that he is worthy her attention. She never compare them, because she know he is worthy, that he is strong and brave. But he compares himself and that is why he tries to prove himself over and over again. After the mission with Ward it becomes better. Than Trip joins them and he needs to show that he knows much more than Trip. He don’t really believe in himself. He never needed to, because Jemma was.

Ward

Ward is a really important part for Fitz. From the begining he is searching the contact to Ward. But they never conected with each other before the mission. The built trust between each other. The are becoming friends. This is important for Fitz. The respect of Ward is really important for him and his way to see himself. When the found out that Ward is working for Garrett, Fitz is the one that is breaking down. He refuses to believe it. Because this is his friend. Because Ward is important to him. Skye says that he is a hero because he still wanted to believe in him after everything. Fitz is a hero, but not because he choose to believe in Ward. He was just realistic. Of course there is a reason. Of course there is more. Of course nobody is born evil. Believing that doesn’t make him a hero. Sacrifies is life for Jemma this makes him a hero, to refuse to give up.

Fitz has to be strong in the next season. He has to deal with what Ward did to him. How can live with what happend and all that without Jemma. Without someone believing in him.

AOS: S02x16 – Afterlife

Hey Guys,

sorry that i am so late with my talk about the new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode. I watched it yesterday but i just didn’t found the time to write about it. The episode was good, but i think it could have been alot better. And i am not talking about letting Ward play in that episode. But you will see what i mean. Just let’s start with the episode.

the perfect duo

Hunter and Coulson are really nice together. I like them and this episode reminded me why i love Coulson so much and why i started to watch the serie. Because he is such a good character and it is nice to see that this is still in him. As Director we didn’t see so much lately from this side. But also it reminded me, why i dislike him right now so much. We have Gonzales which came and that, they are the real S.H.I.E.L.D. They didn’t try to talk are anything else. No they were going in and when Mac wouldn’t be there Fitz could be dead or badly hurt. But nobody cares about it. We see him full of hate and fear. Because this is the only thing he see in him – but later more to that. Coulson is seeing things from his view and is so understanding and than he is getting help from one of the only people he can trust right now – Mike Peterson. How often do they want to trust him? How many chance will he get? The first time he was going crazy… and i understand it and i am totally for giving him a new chance. They second time he betrayed them, he did it safe his son. Yes, i get it and i would totally do the same in his position… but this good person Coulson is also seeing it that way and gives him another chance… but who don’t get that Ward… Ward is just a bad option. I don’t want to say more to this… because i am pretty sure, i have a lot to say about it after the next episode. Just think about what would you do to save your father…

Into the Skye?

Skye is in place, nobody know where it is. I love Skye in that episode and hate her. This episode is showing us what we most love about them and hate about them. Skye is questioning everthing and don’t really believe in that everything is so good thing. For me it looks alot like a prison and also the things Gordon say don’t imply that Skye can do what she wants… but the gave her a sweet little Inhuman to her side. I like Lincoln. He is really sweet and he and Skye have a really nice chemistry. But i don’t trust him. He seems like a nice guy…
The darkside of Skye is shining through when she finds Raina. She is full of hate and that is something i really dislike. It is not that i don’t understand her. She needs to blame Raina because if she don’t she would blame herself. But Skye was full of light and of course she has a dark side everyone has them. But that she is losing her ability to believe in the best is really sad.
And it seems like her mother is still a life and she is not really sympatic. What she tells Skye is logic and right but the way she talks and looks and after that talks with Skyes father. Seems like i can’t trust her words.

The team is back

It is not really a surprise that Fitz chooses to leave S.H.I.E.L.D. and not help them. This was never a question. Here is the thing where this could be better. Why don’t they bring Weaver in? Jemma looked up to her and always trusted her. Right now she has a simular opinion like Weaver – this had so much potential. Fitz choose to leave and Jemma seems just to be on her own again. She wants Bobbi and the other out of her hair and offers a solution for their problems.
Here we get an Mac Fitz scene and i love it. Mac is trying to talk him to stay and i believe him, when he says that he wants him there and is his friend. I believe Fitz knows that. But with will never choose aside against Skye and Coulson. He saw what hard opinion Mac had on this alientec and we saw how Fitz don’t agree with him or Jemma on that matter. He will never be part of something like that.
Jemma on the other hand lost her way. She kinda hates these powers and it is hard for her, that Skye has that. But she tries, like she did with Fitz in the wrong way. In the first season it was Fitz, who was afraid of change but in the end she can’t live with the changes and deep down she knows it.
She is trying to hold the Fitz with her and now she tries to hold the old Skye – fix her.
But when the ‘real s.h.i.e.l.d.’ came. We saw some of the old Fitzsimmons back again and that isn’t surprising. It is like they always handled things. Jemma fooled me for a moment, but she is deciding for Coulson and Fitz side. That doesn’t mean that she hasn’t the same opinion like Weaver or thinks that s.h.i.e.l.d. might be right. It just means that in a crisis she and Fitz are a team.

do we need to talk about May

That is not a bad thing because. Really i don’t believe for a moment that she will betray Coulson. Everything she did was for him and she will not stop with that. So he can talk like he want, for me it was like yea…let him talk… don’t care. Not totally true. He says a lot of good things. Like this is not about a person this is about S.H.I.E.L.D. and he is right. But it is also for what S.H.I.E.L.D. stands. Nick did a lot of mistakes and he is for many things at fault, but the reason he choose Coulson for the job as Director was that he still knows what S.H.I.E.L.D meant. It is like Ward told as in the first episode. Someone really wanted to spell S.H.I.E.L.D. because the message should be clear: Protection. Coulson did a lot of mistake (in my eyes) after he became Director but he take Hunter in the team because he is not following blindly orders. He tries to help, protect. Gonzales and the other and is nothing else than another Fury. He want to protect his own people. He don’t care about any other thing (okay maybe this is a bit harsh). He is twisting the truth like he wanted it. This just shows me that i was right. This guy, who shoot at Skye, he wasn’t one guy – it was S.H.I.E.L.D. order.
The only one that really seems starting to see that is Bobbi. Maybe it is just because she like Skye. But she is still on Skyes side and wants to protect her. She doesn’t like how they treat the others. For her they are also S.H.I.E.L.D.
Mac on the other hand seems really blind to that…or have a more drastic opinion about aliens than i thought… and i hope it is not the last thing because that will make Fitz and him enemies.

Aos: S02x15 – One door closes

Hey Guys,

again an episode without Ward and yes i need to say it everytime when a episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is aired without him. But a part from that i really liked the episode. So let’s go straight to the first point.

The real S.H.I.E.L.D.

I know many people don’t like the idea or think that this is not enough reason to understand that storyline. For me it is just reality. This is what happend when such a big organisation is falling apart. Many people will from groups what think is right. So of course they see himself as S.H.I.E.L.D. they never left it. So this don’t need much more reason. This is just what happend in the history more than once.
They create a shady pictur of the real S.H.I.E.L.D. I don’t think that Coulson did a very good job right now. But he is good man, deep down. Fury is someone he always respected and believed in. So he holds on to thinks Fury believed in, that is maybe not the best.
But the real S.H.I.E.L.D. is different. They stand for transparancy… they didn’t tell Bobbi that they wanted to kill Skye. This organisation is blaming Fury for the falling of S.H.I.E.L.D. and in a way it is true. Fury did go the wrong way. The secrets my have coursed a lot problems. But he is not totally wrong. Because this S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn’t want to help people how are different, they want them dead… they don’t say it like that, because if they would Bobbi would be on their side.

Skye

Skye is away from everyone. What is a good thing right now. It was the wrong decision Coulson made. But if she would have been there she would maybe not even live anymore. The want just finding her and contain her. Here we see what i have seen the last episode the shadows of the real S.H.I.E.L.D.
Bobbi belived in that so much that, she lost Hunter again. But here is the really important thing. Everything she said to Skye she ment. She likes Skye and want just secure her. She sees her as a S.H.I.E.L.D.-Agent. But the other are not shooting with Icers. They want to eleminate the threat. Bobbi sees that, but Skye is using her powers and i hope that Bobbi will see at at what it was self-defense.
Also Gordan is telling Skye more about her powers and overed help and guidance.

Mac and Fitzsimmons

Here we go again. Fitz is standing before Mac and know that he betrayed them. Fitz can bring himself to trust Mac. The last time he believed a friend would hurt him, e got a braindamage. But Mac really likes Fitz. When the real S.H.I.E.L.D. enters S.H.I.E.L.D. Mac protects Fitz from the expolsion.
But this also brings Fitzsimmons back together. They end up side by side and they got a step back to what the deep down still are. This is good and really sad to see. When Weaver is asking Jemma to help with Macs wounds. She is looking at with and just that yes after he is okay with it. This is showing that they in extreme situation still act like one person. They don’t to things the other is uncofortable.

I love which way the serie goes and i hope it will go one like that. And Hunter with his few seconds rockt the whole episode. He is on Coulsons S.H.I.E.L.D.!!

AoS: Season 1 – Grant Ward

Hey Guys,
i started rewatch the serie and i want to talk about it. But i will do this different i will talk about the characters. So this will have spoilers for season 2! Because i rewatched with this knowledge and it just intinseve my opinion. So let’s start with my favorite person – Agent Ward.

The traitor behind the mask

I find it really hard to see the traitor in him in the early episodes. But i think it shows us more about the real Grant Ward. I kinda understand why Ward is so obsessed with Skye. He cames to that team with a mission to infiltrat them. He knows with who he is dealing. He as background on Fitzsimmons and May. He knows Coulson. You see how he can take them on distance. He can deal with them. He don’t understand them, but they don’t surprise him. Skye is the only wild card in that play. He doesn’t know her and doesn’t know which place she will have in the time. She surprises him. The way he looks at her sometimes. She see things different from him and she teaches him to see things from another perspective.

I think he really like the thought of teaching someone something. He likes to be a S.O. But he can’t get to Skye. Coulson tells him to be a person. The problem is he can’t open up. He can’t let them near him. Of course he is a profi and can tell a good story. But he doesn’t tell a story. No, he goes with the truth. He decided to tell Skye the real reason behind his life choices. This is really important. He is the person he is now because he had that brother. The reason he followed Garett was his brother. So it is really important that he told the truth about his defining moment.

This whole thing showed him, how you can handle problems on another way. It showed how good people can be and I think that this is also a part of why he decided to stay with Garetts, because deep down he don’t sees himself as a good person. He believes that he even after his betravel have a place in the team, but not because he thinks he is a good guy. It is because he sees the others as the good guys, as the ones that give second chance.

The glimps of history

We see Wards memories of the day he first felt hate. First you thought that it is Ward down there in that well, but it is his younger brother. We see a real glimps of what ward and his brother had to go through. The big brother turtored both of them in a different way. He played them, he abused them.

The most important thing is that we see here the real Ward. This hate for his brother and himself. This is him. Ward has closed this deep in him and never touched again. This memory take him by surprise, that he couldn’t control himself like he wanted to. This is Ward struggling to find himself again. He tries to do this the only way he knows with fighting, with punching thinks.

That of something real

We see him interact with the women in the team. With May, with Skye and with Simmons, but when we see him with Fitz we see him mocking Fitz or not understanding him. I think he didn’t take him serious. He saw in Fitz just a scientist with out a field clearence. A guy not made for field work. Also i think fitz got on his nerve. But when they had that suicide mission. He saws a different side of Fitz and he want to believe that what started on that mission between Fitz and Ward were real. Fitz earned his respect.

When Raina ask him, how he could cross them, how he could earn her trust. He is talking about giving Coulson someone to save, earning Simmons truth be saving her and getting personal with May. But he never said a word about Fitz and for me this is saying something about the relationship between them. I don’t want to say that the other three weren’t important for him in a way. But he never forget his goal. But with Fitz i think it was different. Skye is a different thing, she faszinated him and Fitz – i think the friendship with Fitz took him be surprise.

Brain washed

We know what his brother did to him. What his family did to him. We know that he burnt the house down and that his family is trying to get him behind bars. He has nothing left. He sees himself as weak because he believed his family. He wants to be strong. That is the biggest wish in him. Then Garrett comes and promise him to make him strong, to help him. Of course he has to do it. What Garrett does after that is manipulating him. He makes himself the older brother without Ward realizing it. Garrett is becoming a father he have had. He tells him that he is proud, that he can be strong, that he believes in him, he calls him son. This is all he wanted. Love… and he loves Garrett. But Garrett also teached him that feelings are weakness and weak is something he never can be.
What he do he didn’t out of his free will. He did it because Garrett made him do it.

The others

He is not Hydra. He is not a Nazi. This is clearly said in the season. He wants Garrett to get out, after the had saved his life. He never believed anything of it. He just follows Garrett – his father. He is a little kid, searching for strenght and love. He is struggling with what Garrett made him do. But after everything they did to him, can’t do anything for himself. He needs orders…that is the only thing he can do. Coulson tells him to think about what he is without Garrett, the answer is nothing… Garretts was his whole life and Coulson knows that…
Skye is telling him that he is weak and disgusting but forgives Mike everything. The only person that ever tried to understand him was Fitz. Another reason why this relationship is so important.

Stand with Grant Ward. Don’t give up on him. He just needs someone, who teach him, how love works and what real strenght is. He survived his family, deep down he has a good soul, deep done he have real strenght… he just needs to find it.
