I can't wait to see more of It. I understand what you mean. I too have an opinion about Ward that's not popular, I absolutely hated that they made him into a villain. I liked him when we first met him, a straight-laced by the book agent or as he was descried in the Honest Trailer for the show "dry white toast. I thought he was boring before they revealed that he was a villain. I actually CONTINUED to dislike him when he was a villain.  I don't know why.  Visceral reaction.  Didn't care about him and his family problems and whether or not he shot the dog - I just kept hoping someone would kill him.  But NOW, I am really digging Hive.  So I don't think my problem was with the actor. I understand what you mean and respect your opinion. I personally feel that I might have stuck with the show had they not done what they did with Ward's character. But then again, I'm not a fan of the whole true origin of HYDRA storyline. But like I said, I respect your opinions.

But in that case the show would have lost a lot of other viewers, because back then the quality was low I highly doubt that was due to Ward's character. If I recall correctly, viewership was low due to the storylines that had nothing to do with the movies, their generic plots and the fan's disappointment in the lack of appearances of movie characters. I still say they could have kept Ward a good guy and really flushed out his character and if they had to make him HYDRA then he should've been given a redemption storyline in the 2nd season instead of just keeping him a villain.
