In retrospect, some of Ward's "worst agent ever" moments make sense now. Of course he took a crappy sniper position on the bridge, he wanted Coulson captured. And he obviously shot poor Thomas Nash under Garrett's orders.
Getting mind-controlled by Lorelei was still really stupid, though.
Bah. That article seems to be strongly hinting that
Ward is brainwashed.

Actually, that works better for me: it might have been on purpose, if he's trying to form an alliance with her. Also might make the sex not rape.

I wish I could believe this, but I don't see how Lorelei would be useful to HYDRA. It's not like she would play any nicer with them than she did with SHIELD.
Do they not shoot women in the head because that's an awful way to shoot a woman, or because they suddenly remembered 2 to centre mass, or because it's way easier to come back from?
Surely he's brainwashed. That's the vibe I got, at least.
I mean, they made a point of mentioning that Raina was brainwashed. It seems very...pointed.
I'm hoping it's your second option, but think it's probably the third.

Really? I got the complete opposite vibe myself.
When the zoomed in on Ward's face as Garrett was bloviating, I expected to have a POV switch and see Clairvoyant text scroll across the bottom of Ward's view saying something like "Kill him next."
I suspect, and will be disappointed, if Ward is merely brainwashed.
