User blog comment:Demileto/Is Lincoln Campbell really an alias for Thomas Ward?/@comment-2041242-20151117225351/@comment-26918230-20151201040550

Honestly, at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if after all this wondering for two years Thomas Ward was ultimately just some throwaway character used for only one episode. A lot of people seem to be worried that Thomas will be brought on just to permanently retcon Grant’s background and make it seem as if Grant was always a little psycho who bullied Thomas of his own free will instead of Christian’s, and that’s a valid concern. (Given that there’s some part of the fandom that still doubts Grant was abused, or the validity of the well flashbacks even though they can’t be faked...) Or that he’s part of the proof that Coulson will do “anything” to settle the score. Or that he’s in some way killed by Grant himself in order to complete Grant’s descent into evil or whatever... It just feels like all of this building up for two seasons may not actually amount to anything in the end or to something really bad...
