Today I watched a show about some human folks going through a liquid portal to another planet where they fought a snake-like parasite that takes over peoples bodies.

It's a Gua'uld and nothing the show does can persuade me otherwise.

The #standwithward hashtag has some really weird people
It must be a strange experience as an actor.

The hashtag is the part that gets me because canceling AoS would mean Ward going away. Fandoms can be really fuckin weird.

With Lash out and Barry Convex predicting that Secret Warriors will be downplayed, I'm guessing that the back half of the season will focus on Daisy and crew stopping him. It's not like they would prove themselves a solid team on a high-risk mission and then just disband. I imagine that Hydra will need a bit of time to recuperate after having tons of operatives killed and those episodes aren't going to be filled with the SHIELD Halo 5 tournament (not that we all wouldn't watch the poo poo out of that).

It was a total Giles moment and immediately after that scene, my wife looked at me and said "So are we going to get an episode where it turns out Anthony Stewart Head plays a character who trained Coulson to just stone cold lean down and take the life of a bad guy who's already beaten?"

Wait, Giles was a bad guy?

I am a little bit disappointed on the timing. I wanted to see more crazy Ward and his Hydra shenanigans. I felt that story arc could have gone a lot further before he had to die and become zombie Ward.

I wouldn't count Ward out completely. He's strong willed and I wouldn't be surprised if he's at least partially in the driver's seat. The slug seems to have the memories of its hosts, and it seemed to draw heavily from Will's persona as well.

Yeah, I'd be fine if it was "just regular evil Ward and maybe he has a different, eviller haircut or something" tbh.

Also Fitz's look to Coulson at the end was obviously him dreading having to explain to Simmons that Will died, got taken over by the thing, and then Fitz had to kill 'him'. Coulson is probably pretty ashamed that he succumbed to anger and killed Ward the way he did, and they both end up sharing a Look as two dudes who just went through a traumatic experience together.

Like I previously theorized, I suspect HydraGod had to fight Will for control, but Ward would have given himself fully over.

I just think Fitz has become too...well, too badass to let something like that bother him very much, especially after the way Ward tortured Simmons.

Infinity War ends by Fitz teleporting to the battle, yanking the Gauntlet from Thanos, pimpslapping him with it, then just teleporting away.

Carrying Ward to the portal wasnt a viable option no matter what. Considering that the alternative was leaving Ward alone on a dead planet, with no hope of return, with minimal supplies, poor mobility due to wounds that would be serious even with proper medical care, and maybe an unkillable supreme evil in a foul mood... that sternum crush could debatably be considered a mercy killing.

Slowly crushing someones sternum with your robo-hand is pretty far away from a mercy killing. A bullet to the head would have sufficed.

FWIW, the main reason why I'm down on Secret Warriors - well, besides the budget complaints - is because one of the EPs hemmed, hawed, and equivocated when he was asked about it. He could have easily answered the question with something straightforward like "yes, this is the beginning of the Secret Warriors, and you'll see plenty more of them when the show returns in March!," but he didn't.

I would love to be wrong, but until we see/hear more to the contrary, I'm not optimistic.
