Last night’s series premiere of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had some cool moments–and left us with some questions, too.That’s what it’s supposed to do, of course; it’s a TV pilot, and if it felt like everything was resolved at the end it would have been a TV movie instead, and could have been a very bad starting point for a new series. Things like what we’ll discuss below give it some color and some flavor and help to establish the premise and consequences of the series ahead of time.What’s Ward’s family history?At one point in the show, Ward is told that his reluctance to work with Coulson’s team is understandable–especially given his (Ward’s) “family history.” It’s never touched on again, but we assume it will be.So–what’s the family history they’re talking about?This is probably not it, since it would be impossible to translate to film given his connections to Spider-Man, but there was a corrupt Senator named Ward who had multiple run-ins with S.H.I.E.L.D. and was actually a Hydra agent.
