  1. Redemption? Fuck that. This prick deserves death

    ReplyDelete
  2. I don't see how can redeem himself after killing like a dozen people.

    ReplyDelete
  3. He SHOULD die. But I strongly suspect they will make a redemptions tory out of him & he'll have some turning point blah blah blah, repeat 100Xs on TV moment and they will slowly warm up to him over the next 1/2 a season.

    dozen of people = 6?because he killed 6 agents.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I don't think redemption is an option anymore I went with "He's locked away somewhere for punishment of his crimes with the option of him coming back later on in the series".

    ReplyDelete
  6. I'm all for the redemption of Grant Ward. This is not the real world. Comic books are full of great redemption stories. People like Natasha Romanoff, and even Nick Fury, are responsible for many more deaths than Ward.


    It's also worth noting that redeeming him does not mean absolving him of his crimes. Ward has to pay for what he has done and his redemption shouldn't be easy. It requires more than just acknowledging that you've done wrong. It has to be earned.

  7. He killed a bunch of people in the fridge, too.

  9. he needs to die,period.He is now beyond any sorts of redemption!!

  10. Spyros Velentzas10 May 2014 at 11:22

    we saw him kill 2 agents in the fridge,so you can't be sure if he killed more agents.

    ReplyDelete
  11. So if he only killed two then it's okay?

    ReplyDelete
  12. A dozen or 6, what difference does it make, the point is that he killed innocent people.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'm fed up good guys who turn out to be bad redeeming themselves. I want a good-turned-bad guy to STAY bad.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Spyros Velentzas10 May 2014 at 11:32

    I dont care if he killed 10,Hawkeye killed less before redeem himself?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I like his character so good or bad as long as he stays on. If he is killed and they bring a new character in people will moan the new character is rubbish and if they keep him people moan on here as I've seen with all the tv programs I follow so whatever they do will be wrong. Lol

    ReplyDelete
  16. I voted for ''killed off by the team'', mostly because that's what he deserves. However, the most likely situation, I believe, is he'll die protecting Skye. We'll see!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I wouldn't call the guards at the fridge innocent people. They weren't civilians.


    Let's not forget that SHIELD, or we viewers, had no problem with Ward killing his enemies until his enemy became SHIELD. His job description was basically to "cross off" anyone who threatened his missions.


    What makes his kills for SHIELD any more just? SHIELD's motives weren't always pure either.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yay!! You guys picked my poll!! Thank you!! :) I love his character and so I would vote for redemption just because I don't see a way for him to stay on the show as a long term straight up bad guy. Plus, there have been way worse characters than him redeemed on other shows, an example that come to mind is Regina from OUAT. In her evil queen days, her vendetta against Snow led to her massacring villages etc. but she has had to make sacrifices and show that she's worthy of redemption and I don't think Ward has passed the point of no return. He's done terrible things, there's no doubt about it but he's not evil for the sake of being evil, there's a lot more behind his actions.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I feel even if there is no chance of redemption for him, they could make him sort of like Angel. Where even though he may never be able to have the trust and friendships with the team he used to have, they still let him back and give him a second chance and have his story arch about trying to gain that redemption,

    ReplyDelete
  20. I have said other. He should not be "locked away" but he should not be on the team, either. He sees the error of his ways, and wants to do good, but is also on the run, and will show up from time to time, helping as an ally, which the agents will accept in desperation but wonder if it was all set up and a trap for later.

  21. Spyros Velentzas10 May 2014 at 12:05

    A slow redemption in season 2 will be great,for the show and the viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  22. My Wish: A slow redemption arc for season 2.
    Reality: Locked away somewhere, with the option of coming back later in the series.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I didn't like Ward very much until he turned out to be a villain so I do hope he stays that way. HIs feelings for Skye can be real but I don't want it to be a motive for redemption.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Everything but #4.
    Please please do NOT redeem Ward. At least don't have him rejoin the team. Nope.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think they're setting him and Raina up for a redemption angle. I'd prefer if he had to become a triple agent inside HYDRA so Coulson and the team can fight them better.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I vote for Redemption if he really is on Hydra's side. I still think he might be a triple agent. That rumor is going around. Either way, I love Brett Dalton's acting. He brought so many layers to him. So please keep Ward on the show for its entire duration. And I'm a SkyeWard fan! So I want redemption for Ward.
    :)
    Why would anyone want for him to be killed if that means losing Brett Dalton? No thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Spyros Velentzas10 May 2014 at 13:11

    It's simple,haters gonna hate.

    ReplyDelete
  28. How is it possible to hate such an amazing actor who brought so much depth to Ward in the recent episodes? Plus, it's like wishing the actor loses his job. It's a job, after all, people...And did I mention that ratings ROSE with the focus on him? They would be smart to keep him on the show. And I think they will. Brett was really happy about the season 2 renewal on twitter. He wouldn't be THAT happy if his character had "died." So yup, redemption please!

    ReplyDelete
  29. And Brett Dalton deserves to lose his job? :(

    ReplyDelete
  30. I still think there is more to the story here. So I'll wait till episode 22 to fully believe that he is "evil."

    ReplyDelete
  31. Well, a redemption storyline lets Brett keep his JOB. So I'm all for it.

    ReplyDelete
  32. everyoneissleeping10 May 2014 at 13:26

    Well, let's be fair... the ratings probably have much more to do with the season finale approaching and with Winter Soldier's release...

    ReplyDelete
  33. Spyros Velentzas10 May 2014 at 13:30

    The show after TWS is focusing on Ward.

    ReplyDelete
  34. everyoneissleeping10 May 2014 at 13:33

    I would say that it’s
    focusing on the conflict with HYDRA as well as at the team being left with the
    organisation they’ve pledged alliance to in pieces.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Very few actors "deserve" to lose their jobs. But that's not a reason to keep a character around past his expiration date. Now personally I voted making him the main antagonist, because I think the character could work that way. I just don't really want a big redemption storyline. I REALLY don't want redemption because of Twu Wuv for Skye.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ward has literally been abused for all of his life - first by his family and then by Garrett. And nobody should ever deny Garrett's abuse (which horrifingly enough, keeps happening). I believe he can break the cycle of abuse and turn himself around.

    Should he pay for his crimes? Of course. But he can be redeemed and saved.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Jessica Desrocher10 May 2014 at 14:09

    I don't mind the first half of option 4 but I dislike the second half. If he has to be redeemed, I do not want it to be because of his love for Skye. It should be because he realizes what side he's truly on and he cares about the whole team (not just Skye) to want to change.
    I personally voted for option one. Brett Dalton is a better actor than I gave him credit for and if we do keep him on the show, having him the main villain for season 2 would be the best option for me. I wouldn't even mind the last option either, because I don't want Ward to die, but I don't want him to be redeemed because of Skye. I'm not a SkyeWard fan though, so maybe that's why. But maybe it's also because that route is the number 1 cliche of all villain redemption arcs and I want this show to be different.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I love Skye/Ward, but I want his love for the team and not just her to save him. That would make it so much better. He's already started breaking the cycle of abuse by going against his abuser (Garrett) and defying him when he saved FitzSimmons (he could have opened the door with some fancy button, I'm sure of it) instead of figuring out some way to kill them.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I was leaning towards that,but I don't see where he could be safely locked up now that they no longer have the fridge.

    ReplyDelete
  40. If they go down the redemption path then I hope it isn't all resolved in the finale, I want him to have to work for the majority of next season for it.

    ReplyDelete
  41. This exactly! Redemption should not be easy. The team magically forgiving him is not something I want. I believe Ward can be redeemed, but he has to work for it.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I say he dies, but he dies a hero

    ReplyDelete
  43. Brett Dalton is a good actor and worry not, he'll fit a job elsewhere. It's how the business works.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Instead of bringing in someone new they could just keep Trip

    ReplyDelete
  45. Kaalyn Johnson10 May 2014 at 15:45

    No damn redemption arc, please. Kill him or layer him so he can be a major villain at a later date.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I for sure don't want to see him as a main villain because that's cruel, don't want to see him dead either.

    ReplyDelete
  47. There will always be other jobs, but what Ward did cannot go unpunished

    ReplyDelete
  48. Kaalyn Johnson10 May 2014 at 16:16

    The entire point is that Ward was never really working for Shield, he was working for the NAZI WEAPON PROGRAM TURNED SECRET SOCIETY THAT TRIED TO MURDER 20 MILLION PEOPLE.

    The SHIELD agents he killed were not Hydra. Their motivations were pure insofar as they were there to protect people. The second he shoots two in the back of their heads while quipping is the second he's full blown shit-heel.

    Kill him with fire.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I haven't watched this week's episode yet (I probebaly shouldn't have opened this post, should I?).
    I would like Brett Dalton to stay around but I'm guessing that's almost impossible so I'd like him to sacrifice himself and die a hero.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I don't want him to die, but I don't want him to have a redemption arc either. And I really like Garrett as a villain so I don't want him to be then main villain just yet.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I don't really want them to go the route where he switches sides and re joins the team. Either super villain or martyr would be my preferred way for this to go. Would not be the first time a show edited out a character in the first season cause it didn't work. And the way they set up the back story, I do not see him becoming a true villain.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Yeah, when I wrote the options I did with the intention of including the team in that option as well as Skye like with #3. I wouldn't want his redemption to be over within a couple of episodes either because that wouldn't be as fulfilling or realistic.


    I love Skye/Ward too and while I do hope they eventually get together, I don't think they should any time soon just because it wouldn't feel natural and very out of character for Skye considering everything he's done. But further down the line - hell yes!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. No one HATES Brett, I think, if anything, we are all blown away by his skill these past few episodes. But Brett is NOT Ward, he only portrays him, and a lot of people, myself included, feel that the trajectory of Ward's character warrants his death. Are we happy that Brett might lose his job? Of course not. But many fantastic actors have been lost over the course of many series for the overall sake of the storyline. I love Brett, but I do not want Ward's redemption. So please do not conflate hating Ward with hating Brett because that is simply not true

    ReplyDelete
  54. Aryam Manzueta Avila10 May 2014 at 18:00

    Any of these could come true, but I hope the redemtion one doesn't come true. F HYDRA.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Katarzyna Skop10 May 2014 at 19:05

    I don't really mind any possibility - as long as it's not a redemption arc. They made him HYDRA, let him STAY HYDRA. It'd be fun to see him kill Garrett (poetic irony, that Garrett raised him to believe that emotional attachement was a weakness, and yet Garrett heavily relies on Ward's attachement to him); on the other hand, I do love the Ward&Garrett relationship. Anyway, I'd love it if Ward remained an antagonist: he was never a SHIELD agent, after all, he came into the organization ALREADY as a HYDRA operative. It's refreshing to watch a supposedly 'good' character turn out to be one of the bad guys, and not be immediately excused by the plot.

    ReplyDelete
  56. There has to be someplace some agency anything because if everything is gone what are they going to do next season?

    ReplyDelete
  57. I think next season will be the phoenix from the ashes season.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Other: he kills Garrett, goes rogue and becomes a frenemy for the team. That way we get the best of both worlds: we might still get to see him work with Coulson and company if their interests are ever in line, but no one forgives or trusts him. The evil shit he's done isn't swept under the rug, ever.

    However, anything goes as far as I'm concerned OTHER than redemption. I'm so fvcking sick of "yeah, he slaughtered a bunch of innocent people who never did

    ReplyDelete
  59. Yeah, OK, maybe give him to Talbot, muahaha.

    ReplyDelete
  60. It's actually not easy to find jobs. Notice that when actors leave their regular jobs, they tend to have trouble finding other jobs. Cote left NCIS LA like a year ago, and she's nowhere to be found. It's not that easy. Also, Brett is really talented. Him leaving the show would leave a whole for many viewers. I doubt fans would be happy if he was "let go."

    ReplyDelete
  61. The focus has been heavily on Ward. I agree. No one can tell me that he has nothing to do with the ratings rise. Most shows actually get lower at the end of the year due to tough competition. AoS rose recently thanks at least partly to Brett's acting and the Ward storyline.

    ReplyDelete
  62. If anyone is interested, Brett said in a recent interview that SkyeWard is NOT DEAD. I'm going to assume that Ward will survive then. Because otherwise, how would the pairing continue if he "died"? So I'm all for redemption.


    And I honestly would not be surprised if there are more surprises on the way. There is still an option of him being brainwashed/blackmailed/triple agent/etc...In all the recent interviews, those options have been mentioned. So I'll wait till episode 22 to see what's happening.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Except actors merely play characters in a story. If one of those characters have to die, its unfortunate, but yes, the contract ends as well.

    I don't recall anyone saying ''poor Jack Gleeson, his character just died on Game of Thrones, it could be so hard to find a job for him''. I'm pretty sure most viewers appreciated his character's death. And Ward is pretty much the equivalent on Agents of SHIELD: A treacherous, lying villain played by a great actor.

    But, when we watch the shows, we see more the characters than the actors. And that character, he has to die, there's no redemption for him anymore!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I think killing him would be more humane hahahaha

    ReplyDelete
  65. It would be great if they rebuilt SHEILD.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I don't want him to be redeemed. He's a million times more interesting as a bad guy and would rather see him continue as a villain and be a thorn in SHIELD's side. Not all bad guys need to be redeemed, its kinda gotten cliché for me. I feel like he's going to be redeemed tho through Skye since she's a special snowflake.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I absolutely want redemption for Ward! The more we delve into his character, the more interesting he gets. Regardless of who's side he's on, he's had a fairly rough life by the looks of it. He's survived everything thrown at him by doing whatever needed to be done. I don't think he's evil at all, just well trained and conditioned to his situation. It's really quite sad when you think about it, it seems like all he's ever learned to do is "survive", not 'live".

    I think that he's been shown a new way to live while being undercover on Coulsen's team. It's messing with his programming (for want of a better word) and he's struggling with it a bit.

    I think also that people forget that Shield has trained him too - even if he's under Garrett (who's Hydra). The things he has done aren't that different to what others legitimately in Shield would have (I imagine). This is not to say that him killing is a good thing of course, but I reckon that the spy game, with Shield OR Hydra, would mean doing highly questionable things under orders.

    Anyway, can't hardly wait to see what they end the season with ... I for one am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for more Ward in season 2! He's just too great a character to ditch this early on in the story!!! And Brett's just so wonderful to watch!

    ReplyDelete
  68. I have a horrible feeling they might go down the Twu Wuv for Skye route. I hope I am wrong. I have a sick bag handy in case they do :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. I voted for 3 but would be happy with 3 or 5.

    The man killed in cold blood. Not in the heat of battle, not in self defence, not to protect someone.

    He killed twice in cold blood to suit his own and Hydra's mission.

    No matter how many ways you spin it was murder. So I dont wanting them to go down the whole saved by love soap opera route. If he changes sides all well and good but he HAS to pay for what he has done, and not by a slap on the wrist.

    And dont even think of bringing the actor and his job into it. Jobs end actors move on into other roles. Shit happens as they say. I get that people like the actor and want him to stay but bending morals to suit the argument is going a bit far. Redeem the character but not by allowing him to slip right back onto the team as if nothing happend.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Voted for

    "He's locked away somewhere for punishment of his crimes with the option of him coming back later on in the series"

    IMO unless he turns out to be some sort of triple agent I think redemption for the character will be very hard, but it's a Whedon show so not impossible...

    Wonderfully put! You wrote exactly what I was thinking with that Natasha and Fury have done much worse and have turned their life around. So why can't Ward? All those calling that Ward has to die because of all those he killed, yet how many innocents has May killed in her life? It wouldn't be the same without him if he died and I truly don't see him being the big bad evil guy so yeah,I just really miss the group that we fell in love with at the beginning! lol And also like you said, it won't be easy and it shouldn't be, but I completely believe he can redeem himself. I would love to see that happen!

    ReplyDelete
  72. Are you seriously comparing King Joffrey and Ward?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Well, they are both the most evil character of their respective show, and those are two shows I love, so yes, I do! But it doesn't matter, I could have compared him with any character from any show, really, the point remains the same: Actors plays the role of characters, those characters dies at the desires of the writers and when it happens, the actor's contract end! Wether the character is good or evil or somewhere in between, wether the actor is great or terrible or anywhere in between, no character is safe, and no character ''should be safe so that the actor can ''keep his job'' ''.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I totally agree with this: "Actors plays the role of characters, those characters dies at the desires of the writers and when it happens, the actor's contract end."

    With emphasis on "desires of the writers". :)
    I have a feeling that the writers of AoS have tons of storylines for Grant Ward. But that's just my interpretation. ;p

    ReplyDelete
  75. If the writers begin to create their story lines on the idea so that an actor wouldn't loose their job would be silly. But I am sure you were just kidding.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Noneofyourbusiness13 May 2014 at 04:47

    I find 1 more interesting than 3, but 3 would be okay too and I find it more likely. But 1 would still be more interesting.
