Looked pretty dead. They made a point of showing her looking pretty dead twice. But I guess we'll see next week.

Was I the only one who thought they brought Ward back into the scene 'way too soon?

My thought is that this is based on the Marvel Universe, the kings of bringing back "dead" characters.

As far as Agent Ward, I think they should have dropped the character in a deep hole and left him there.

There used to be two sayings we could always count on:

"Never engage in a land war in Asia"
"Marvel will never bring back Bucky Barnes."

In the Marvel universe, a character is only dead as long as the writers want them to be dead. There is no such thing as permanent death in the Marvel universe, unless your name is Ben Parker.

Fitz made me sad. That was very well done, with Simmons.

I had forgotten that. I agree. The handling of Fitz was really good. I am interested in seeing what they do with him. Hopefully, at some point they put the two (Fitz and Simmons) back together.

Yes, that was a last minute shock. I had been thinking through the episode that the two had actually found each other.

I asked a friend who is really up on the online information about Agents of Shield. According to him, Lucy Lawless was at least initially only signed to do a single episode of Agents of Shield. At least for now, it looks like Marvel will not be reprising its proud tradition of bringing back dead characters. The Lucy Lawless character is gone.

Interesting what they did with Fitz and Simmons...I respect what they seem to be doing with that, well done IMO. And Skye seems to be so much more mature now, handled that encounter with Ward well. I was hoping Ward would be long gone, but oh well! Good episode, but not many characters left...I assume there will be more introduced soon.

Has anyone seen a clue as to whether Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch have been in Baron Strucker's custody all this time, or had they been prisoners in the Sandbox until HYDRA raided it?
