I want Ward to have killed the dog. That's harder to come back from, even if no one saw you do it.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I thought he killed the dog.

I'm sure Ward killed the dog, I just think it's a cheap trope.

It's too rare in my experience to call it a trope--I'm actually annoyed by how often the dog survives for no reason other than pets are cute. Innocent humans don't get similar protection for cuteness.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I feel like pet/animal death is more a classic YA novel trope than a modern TV one. I mean, Old Yeller, Where The Red Fern Grows, The Yearling...

Where did you see this promo? Or do you mean the one-shot?

Yeah, I realized it was the one-shot after I posted that. But it could be a promo. I would love to see Howard pre-douchebaggery to Tony.

Who's making Agent Carter? Does it qualify for this thread?
