Mal ,'War Stories'
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
Speaking of toys, poor Lola. Man. She's a beater now. I loved that Coulson said, "I can't talk about it."
Hey now, just cuz Lola's been beaten up doesn't make her a beater.
What exactly did/does Ward think he's gonna do with Sky? Turn her? Make her into a kept woman stashed somewhere he thinks is safe? The phrase woman in the fridge is echoing in my head right now, and I'm sure SHIELD's Fridge isn't the only reason.
I don't understand why she did not let Ward die. Did the writers really believe that if she did not pay the ransom, she was responsible for his death? A certain scene from Blazing Saddles keeps running through my head.
I wonder what the tow truck driver will say if they have to tow Lola?
I don't understand why she did not let Ward die.
Yeah. Either her soft spot for Ward is equal to his for her in spite of all that "disgusting" talk, or she just flat out is not cut out to make the hard decisions that they have shown realio-trulio Agents of SHIELD have to make.
ETA: that or the Easter Egg she left for them in that encrypted hard drive was just so good she wanted them to have it and if so, there was no point in Ward dying.
The last one would make the most sense.
But I'm afraid that making sense is not the main aim.
I don't think Skye should have let Ward die. I mean, that could have been a right choice also, but I don't think giving in is necessarily the wrong choice. Remains to be seen.
She's not yet the person who can watch someone she knows die slowly and painfully in front of her. Especially at the hands of someone she feels sorry for. I liked that she didn't start shrieking in horror "no, no, you can't do that." She thought about it.
Besides, without Ward to play his "No, really, honey, it's OK" games, she'd have to deal with whatever Mike would do to get the information.
That is what I was looking for. Not necessarily a reason I'd agree with, but one that makes sense for her.
She's not yet the person who can watch someone she knows die slowly and painfully in front of her.
This. I'd expect that she'd feel like she'd kill him, and so far the show's been pretty clear about who's a killer and who's not. If he'd killed someone on the team, and she was reacting that rawly, but even though Hydra are 100% the bad guys, she has a relationship to this guy, and it's abstract evil even though it's in her face.
