Ward. They'll write him out and he'll be replaced by Triplett, who could very well eventually become Triathlon. (Triplett, get it?)

Spoiler!

Fitz or Simmons will fit that bill, always be wary of the unassuming

I agree with your guess.
Yes its the easiest choice for a replacement even though he seems to get most of the air time I feel the other characters are far more developed and not as easily replaced.
As far as triplett becoming Triathalon..



EGADS!!!

I think it would be nice if they spent more time on his Deathlok look making him not look so campy and more bad ass like hes looked at times in the comics.
If I'm right though I'd need to look it up I believe there were 5 Deathloks the 5th being a Shield agent.





This show has become a nice surprise for me as it has many people.
I've collected comics for over 30 yrs but for some reason the first 5 episodes sat on my DVR until finally I watched the list thru.
I was able to simply enjoy the show for what it is and the characters have grown on me all except for Ward.
Out of all the characters he is the only one you could replace with any guy with a 6 pack. He brings nothing to the show.

I've already mentioned Deathlok is way to generic/campy for my taste but I can look past it.

One other thing imagine if they did have the rights to use Mutants and discovered it was wolverine being held or somehow the blood sample was taken/stolen from him
and the healing factor used to bring people on the edge of death back.
S.H.E.L.D.S big secret without the permission or knowledge of anyone including Logan.
That might've gotten interesting.

Sorry to Ramble stuck inside hurt my knee trying to push & be a bad ass in a half marathon ... I'm not Triathalon that's for certain.

Sincerely
Not ready to be a S.H.E.L.D agent

Spoiler!

Ward and Skye are the love interest pair...neither of them's likely to go anywhere.

I don't think there's a Hydra member on the squad. I think they'll tease it, but there won't be one.

There are, however, shots from an upcoming episode that show Garrett and Raina and Ian Quinn sharing a scene. http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/04/02...-big-spoilers/

Also mention there that Gen. Talbot (adrian pasdar) is chasing the team, so maybe the a-team comparison wasn't too far off.

Response:

Spoiler!

I think they may have intended for the love interest pair to be Ward and Skye, but I don't think Ward is clicking with audiences (on account of his actor being terrible, and him being boring as hell), so they'll refocus it, maybe on Fitz and Simmons. Also, Ward becoming a mole will allow for dramatic possibilities with May, which she desperately needs.

Spoiler!

I'm OK with losing Ward. As Aries Walker pointed out, he's a pretty shitty actor. Also, after he killed the invalid, he totally came off as desperate/clingy. After the Skye/Ward relationships seemed so subtle, for so long, that kind of action just screamed psycho. That or he was trying to cover for the Clairvoyant. Skye also seemed to have a WTF?! attitude about it.

Maybe it's just me, but I hope he's gone.

If they want to be dicks, they'll turn Simmons and Ward. She keeps defying Coulson by attempting to analyze the "medicine" used when the Clairvoyant could not see Coulson. Also might help explain Ward's jump to save her. She's a very likeable character so it would be a blow to a lot of the fans. Although the big blow will likely be the moping from Fitz the rest of the show.

Anyway, I'm psyched to see the next episode!

Given the end of the last episode, I assumed the Clairvoyant was the hot MILF boss who said "Coulson is mine". Although she could be an unwitting pawn too. My bet is on Bill Paxton. The whole "seen too much, got disillusioned" thing.

Sam Jackson's appearing at least once more this season, according to Vulture:

we had to ask whether he'd (Samuel L. Jackson....) be filming another cameo as former S.H.I.E.L.D. head honcho Nick Fury. Laughing, he told us, "I did! Last week! I just shot the end-of-the-season show." He wouldn't reveal any details, however. "You're trying to get me fired and killed! I don't talk about Marvel's business. None of us do."

...

"If they ask Kevin Feige and Kevin says, 'We'd like for you to do it,' I do." And while it's hard to imagine how Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will keep going now that Fury has gone underground and the titular organization is no more, Jackson promised it would all come together soon. "It ties into the TV show," Jackson said. "They wanted to tie that up." We can't wait.

Very cool. Love SLJ.

Oh, and this link you posted earlier...

http://www.vulture.com/2014/04/spoil...explained.html

...made me think of Steve/Bucky, Evans wanting to direct instead of act, and what a future Cap film might look like.

Spoiler!

Think they would kill Steve in A2, and bring Bucky in to fill the role for a final Cap movie against Batroc? I liked the roles of both of these characters, even in their limited involvement.

Roman gonna be tough

Regarding that.

Spoiler!

Nope. There's no way Marvel will kill off Rogers; Marvel doesn't do that. They may, however, at some point have Rogers give up the Captain American mantle, allowing Winter Soldier to take it over for a while. That would be in line with the comic storyline, while preserving Rogers' character.

Spoiler!

Not sure I understand what you mean when you say Marvel doesn't do that? It wouldn't be the first time Steve Rogers died. I'm not saying he can't come back at a later date, but it would give Marvel several years before they had to consider a replacement for Evans to bring Steve Roger back. Although based on how well this one is doing, maybe Evans signs on for more films before retiring into a director's role?

In the movies, I mean.
