Ward doesn't want to take over the world unless it will give him what he wants. Part of him thinks he's going to take care of people--if they'd just stop complaining about him butchering people.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I cannot CAN NOT with the Fitz. He is love.
Keeps breaking my heart in every damn episode.
(also, it's a good thing they sent one half of Fitz-Simmons through the portal, since True Love is the answer to how you return.)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I just watched the first 2 episodes of Jessica Jones.
Can someone tell me if this happened to them? during the 2nd episode the aspect ratio of the window kept changing. It would be rectangular then square then smaller then repeat the sequence. And I wasn't sure if was part of the psychological state of Jessica's mind or Netflix acting flakey on my computer.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Did not happen to me. I don't think that's an artistic choice.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Well, of all the possible outcomes of tonight's SHIELD, I didn't see Possessed Zombie Ward as one of them. I'd say it puts "Ward will be redeemed" to rest permanently, but I guess weirder things have happened.
And obviously freaky alien thing can access the memories of those it possessed based on its conversations with Fitz (well, either that or its psychic and was reading Fitz's mind.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
For real, I thought the Inhuman was a shapeshifter and it just shifted into Will's form after it killed Will. Which is why I was so confused when Fitz saw what was under the bandages on its leg. (Plus I couldn't see too clearly what was under the bandages, because the funky blue lighting doesn't play well with my eyesight.)
Even when we saw Inhuman!Ward at the end, I *still* thought it had just assumed Ward's form rather than actually possessed his body. Tim had to explain it to me. I am kinda dim sometimes.
And how did Inhuman!Ward manage to get through the portal with no one noticing? I know the show left that time period deliberately vague (I honestly wasn't sure if Fitz and Coulson made it back until we saw them), but I still feel like it would have been obvious that another life form came through the portal.
Finally, Coulson killing Ward was so satisfying (even if I was yelling "You did the thing! Now get through the portal, dumbass!").

Yeah, the timing seemed weird, but my guess is Mack didn't give the order to open fire until they were in Andrew's pod, which means there was X number of seconds where the portal was potentially open but unwatched. I'm tempted to call shenanigans (did all the HYDRA guys trying to break in just give up and leave? How did they get to the pod?) but I'm just happy Coulson's weird look at the end was a psych out to make us think he'd gotten possessed by the thing when it really got Ward instead.
Coulson crushing Ward's ribcage so he suffocated was needlessly brutal, though.

Tim thought Coulson was possessed, too.

I think it was just the right amount of brutal. Very satisfying.

Side note, props to Fitz telling Ward to grow up when he suggested Fitz might want to shoot Will. That was the perfect response.

Coulson has some dark in him. Fury's right hand man didn't get there without going to some very murky places. I was afraid he'd try to drag Ward back to "justice", and I was all the way with Fitz yelling "Leave him!" I knew Ward either had to die or have a major change. I wasn't counting on both.
It tied in nicely, the thing probably couldn't leave Will until Will's body was dead, and I never thought it would grab Coulson. I figured it telling Fitz that Will died saving Gemma was the clue that it couldn't grab a form unless the other form was dead.
Self-saving Gemma for the win! She's got a fearsome "You are in so much trouble" face.
Lash is very single-minded. A castle full of Hydra baddies, and he rips open the pods to get to unconscious Inhumans.
So, pieces in play--the Hydra baddie with his new Ward-zombie with Phil's hand, the portal bits under the castle, Lash on the loose. That was a lot of stuff to pack into half a season.
