Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines...and the more I think of it, the more I'm convinced that Will is tied in with the Inhuman, and is ultimately serving as set-up for whatever they're planning to do with the Inhuman and Ward.

So, if Will is really HYDRA's Inhuman in disguise, then I think the bit about his being down to his last bullet needs to be explained. That was a pretty specific tidbit to dwell on to the degree that they did. I'd think that it would have to be something like, someone finds Will's body and he's shot himself, so that the Inhuman is pretending to be Will but basically just having made a different choice there. Maybe the body is in the "Forbidden Zone" that Will didn't want Jemma exploring.
Instead of Ward actually becoming the Evil Inhuman, or vice versa, I'm wonder if meeting it will be enough to turn Grant into a true believer. I could see him and Malick becoming the servants of the Evil Inhuman. Ward has never really been a hardcore true believer when it came to Hydra, so him going all in would be a pretty big shift for the character.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
I brought this exact idea up(clearly not unique to me now it seems) about Ward ending up with Inhuman DNA and being exposed to the Terrigen. Thus becoming perhaps a comic character counterpart, just like Andrew/Lash, which seemingly came out of nowhere also.
We all basically felt like we were waiting on Skye to morph into Daisy. Still waiting on the Quake moniker but I digress. However the Andrew/Lash development came on quickly and unexpectedly so why not pull that trick on us again with Ward?
Ward "suddenly" being Inhuman though could play into the S1 attraction angle of Skye/Ward. Even if it is a bit retroactive. It would keep those two at odds and play up the "two sides/same coin" trope.
Inhumans breeding with inhumans is bad.
Well not bad bad, but it's skinny dipping in the shallow end of the gene pool.
Cousin -###king basically.

I'm starting to think that's actually a defining aspect of his character -- that this is a guy who is not emotionally mature enough to have long-term goals. Like many psychopaths, he can really only think and plan in the short term unless he's getting direction from someone else.
Going in, I thought this would be it for Ward.
Then when it was confirmed, I thought that Coulson should have let him live.
Now it seems there's no keeping him down.

They confirmed my suspicions when Ward starting babbling about his special destiny.
I felt two major twists were relatively expected, but still well-handled. Particularly the one involving Fitz towards the end. The Lash twist definitely caught me by surprise, though. I was expecting a Hydra Inhuman army.
I don't like seeing Coulson be so ruthless. But I think it sat hard with him to go that far. I think he left the hand behind because he couldn't stomach wearing it after he killed someone with it in cold blood.
I guessed that Will would be the entity, but I hadn't expected it to turn out that Jemma's Will had been real but had only been killed/replaced by the entity after Jemma left.
How did Zombie Ward get back, anyway? I assume he must've dived through the portal at the last second while the castle was collapsing, but it would've been nice to have that clarified.
Hold on... I think Whedon TV has come full circle. Ward is now a dead man whose body has been taken over by an evil spirit. Which is basically what vampires were in Buffy. And the entity is drawn to blood...
Mack's plan to keep the "Power Rangers" together on one team was weird. Shouldn't they have split up so there were Inhumans on both teams? Anyway, we didn't get to see them using their powers all that much, and most of it was offscreen, which was disappointing. Although that was a neat trick with Joey melting the bullets. I really thought the predictions of his demise were coming true for a moment there.

Good finale! I was so delighted when
Ward died... and then I groaned really loudly when he came back as the alien god. I just want him off the show, man. I can only hope "Malveth" retains no personality from Ward whatsoever.
I was surprised that Will was already dead. I expected him to come back with them.

I figured we were in for a swerve with Will... but for some reason I hadn't considered the possibility of him being the entity.
Ward has always seemed to be a bit dead inside. I'll miss the little psycho.
IMO, the inhuman could actually be a parasitic alien like the Goa'uld or those parasite aliens in TNG S1 "Conspiracy".
yep.
