OH MAN JUST WATCHED THE EP WHERE WARD KILLED ALL THOSE PEOPLE AT THE END AND SET HIS OLD SO FREE THAT WAS FREAKING INTENSE!
I can't think he is going to stay like that (intentional looking troubled at the end?) But by heck he is now a douche for leading everyone on like that. Glad to have Mae cleared too (despite being a bit sneaky...)

I think now you're only one or two behind.

Fucking awesome. I missed episode 17 or 18. So I didn't see Garret and Ward become evil. So the next episode was a bit weird, but still amazing! WTF is going on. I really felt for Coulson before that secret bunker opened.

As of last night's ep, I was SO sure that Ward was going to save them the theme of the dog in his past and Fitzsimmons in the present seemed well planned...but yeah, he killed the dog and they are off to be drowned. I still think he's got redemption coming, but I doubt he'll survive it.

At this point, he better die, because if they turn him goody-goody and he rejoins the team, I'm out.

OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

This. I can just about accept death/redemption, but if he redeems and survives, i give up.

meh. Link was dead :(

Agreed - he'd better not end up surviving this thing.

How awesome was it to see Fitz use the EMP on Garret? I legit cheered and waved my arms frantically when that happened!

Yeah, that was badass.

Fitz continues to prove he's not just the resident tech nerd, he's got balls the size of church bells most of the time.

Do you think Fitz and Simmons, with the down time they will have waiting to be rescued in the crate deep in the ocean will consummate their feelings for one another and become "Fitzsimmons"? . . . . see what I did there? Posted Image

Yeah, I agree with most up thread. If Ward is redeemed that will make the show dump worthy (it's dump worthy anyway imo). But yeah, it's like they farmed out the writing of this show to an 11th grade creative writing class. It's too bad, the pedigree of the Marvel ip deserves better.

Actually, the writing has mostly been top notch for a scripted network show. On par with past Whedon projects. It's got all the snappy dialogue and clever misdirection that I've come to expect from him. Sure it took a few eps to get properly rolling and cohesive...but after like ep 4 or 5 it's been flying ever since.

I've never sat there and thought "geez this is badly written!"...like I'm often know to do with...OUAT for example.

I'll argue that AoS is probably top 2 of current scripted American network shows, behind SLEEPY HOLLOW in terms of quality.

I'm curious why you continue to watch a show that you consider "dump-worthy" already though. That seems excessively punishing to yourself.

Surviving Jack is as well written as Agents of SHIELD. But it's a comedy on Fox, so people aren't going to rep it as much.

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

I've heard from more than one person that I ought to be watching that. I've gotta find it.

I seriously doubt that they're going to die. And I don't think he killed the dog but I was watching late and post-sleeping pill so could have missed it.

And I doubt the redemption now. I think they're setting it up so that he will be re-inforced with enthusiasm for Hydra upon the death of Garrett. Taking Garrett's place.

Oh I don't think Fitzsimmons will die, and I think the dog death was only slightly ambiguous...hard to tell with how they shot it.

I think you're right about Ward possibly taking Garret's place though. Good call.

I watched 6 episodes last night. It's good. Has potential. Not certain I like the narration though.

It got cancelled today, or yesterday. Either way, potential gone sadly.
