The line about "something I want for myself"? Seemed pretty straightforward to me. All his creepy m'lady crap was pretty straightforward too.

"He did what the guy that had conditioned him for over ten years needed him to do."
Garrett needed him to sexually harass Skye, kill a Koenig, & stash the body where it would traumatize whoever came across it first? I don't recall that scene.

"You know he didn't actually do anything awful till they tried to give him to Christian"
Sure, he didn't do anything awful until then. Just ask Victoria Hand, Skye, & FitzSimmons. Except Fitz had a stretch where he'd have a hard time answering you, & Hand will still have an even harder time answering.

"Every other situation" was either before SHIELD fell (so it still had infinite resources) or after SHIELD had gotten a solid footing again (so Coulson had enough means to be evasive). This was in between those times.
Coulson clearly did not want to turn Ward over. He wanted to keep Ward where he knew the guy couldn't…

Replying to myself to set up a contingency because of an apparent glitch with Disqus. This post will be deleted when it is no longer necessary.

Oh yeah, I forgot about DD3; yes, that'll be after Defenders also. They haven't confirmed exactly how they'll slot in yet, but Punisher is already filming, so it'll probably be first of the three.

Okay, I'm going to stop phrasing things as though I'm talking to an intelligent person & instead just lay it out in very simple, impossible-to-misinterpret language: SHIELD DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE IN THE MATTER. Their ONLY options were (a) hand over Grant Ward to Christian Ward, or (b) have what was left of the agency…

Seriously, Briege is making me miss The Husky Bro.
….And even Oliver Sawa. Almost.

To be fair, Radcliffe didn't tell her it was ok to kill humans. In fact, his primary contingency for lying was to SAVE humans.

Damage Control had a "put pilot", so ABC has to at least air the pilot as a one-off special or else pay Marvel a penalty fee.

"I used to be an agent like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee"?

If Microsoft knows what's good for them, they won't be hiring anyone else to voice Cortana; Jen Taylor gets to keep that job for life.

Briege is really bad at the whole "character makes mistake, faces consequences, then tries to prevent same mistake from happening again" thing.

"Daredevil" S2 & "Luke Cage" are officially set in early 2016, before the Sokovia Accords.

Wait, he is!? But they just got Spidey back! We need to keep the two of them as far away from each other as possible!

As shown by every interaction with General Talbot before the President intevened on Coulson's behalf, underground SHIELD couldn't make *any* demands at *all* without risking being taken over.

"Hive wasn't Ward."
But Hive had Ward's appearance & memories, & as such was as stressful for the others to encounter as the real thing would've been. Perhaps moreso, as they'd all gotten used to the thought of never having to see Ward again.

Okay, next time you're a person who's not supposed to be alive anymore in charge of a spy agency that's not supposed to exist anymore, you can try to make demands about *which* government official you hand over a dangerous prisoner to. See how well that goes for ya.

"He literally mentioned it once." It was more than once.

How is he framed as being in the right? He cold-blooded murdered Ward when he didn't have to; all he had to do was just leave him there, & they would've been done with him forever. Instead, killing him gave Hive the opportunity to get back to Earth, which led to every single bad thing that happened in the back half of…
