It's be kind of cool if they went back to the planet, possibly for some way to stop Zombie!Ward. It would be much safer now that the thingie isn't there. And there's that city to look at.

The number of times I shouted "SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD!" at my teevee is a little troubling.
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.
Apparently I am too because I thought it had assumed Ward's form too. As it had assumed Will's form. Or a random astronaut's form.
It was a very eventful last five minutes. When Ward gave his whole "I HAVE FOUND MY PURPOSE" speech, I thought...oh shit, he's going to die. I mean, this was a perfect opportunity to kill him, there was so much logical reason to kill him here, but as I've said, I do love him as a villain. So when Coulson finally killed him (and I didn't realize what he was doing until he disposed of the murder weapon), I thought it was just and appropriate, but I was going to miss Ward.
AND THEN AHAHAHAHAHAHA I'M SO EXCITED.
Side note, props to Fitz telling Ward to grow up when he suggested Fitz might want to shoot Will. That was the perfect response.
I loved that.
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.
Does this mean that final scene in the previous planet episode was actually Monster!Will? Aww.
(Also! I liked that Joey got to go on a mission and help out and be bulletproof!! Okay, show, you've got your first gay POC superhero, don't kill him off.)
AoS: Well, they got rid of Ward...just not the actor.
So Hydra thing is a Goa'uld...
Well, they did come through a stargate wormhole, of sorts...
So Hydra thing is a Goa'uld...
That's what I was thinking, especially as it wiggled out of Will.
And all the points to Gemma, who didn't say "What happened?" or "Where is he?", just flung her arms around Fitz.
Yeah, Gemma knows her boys wouldn't have left Will behind. She may ask for details later, but having Fitz and Coulson safe is more important.
It took me a second to really figure it out when you could see Will's leg bones that he was actually dead, not just the thing looking like him.
I wonder if that's how the HYDRA "sacrifices" started: sending through a constant supply of fresh bodies for it to inhabit as the previous bodies rotted away. Otherwise, I'm having a hard time figuring out the purpose of sending people through on a regular interval when you haven't learned anything new on how to bring it back.
I wonder if that's how the HYDRA "sacrifices" started
That's a good point. I'm guessing Hydra Head must have some suspicion that's what's going on, with the use of the word sacrifice. Possibly some notes somewhere.
Commenters at The Mary Sue are referring to Lincoln as "Pikachu". This amuses me greatly, for some reason.
