I think the best thing for this series is to keep Ward bad and either kill him off or make him a reoccurring villain. I've read a few theories that he could end up being treated like Angel (Buffy) where he'd spend copious amounts of time trying to atone for his sins. At this point, I certainly don't have an interest in that. I'm really liking Tripp and the team is gelling better than ever now. A rogue SHIELD team cleaning up the messes of HYDRA. Now that is entertaining! The espionage and plot twists lately are what I've been hoping this show would be like. Now if they can keep it going and fix the error of their ways pre-Cap 2, I'll certainly be along for the ride. Of course, a lot rides on what happens in the final 2 episodes.
