I'm glad Brett Dalton is still on the show, but I do not like how he is playing MavethWard. The zen voice and the wine-sipping-cheese-eating scene were like a very bad Game of Thrones audition. Also, the tunic coat appears dark green to me. Also also, a hook-and-eye closure seems very impractical for a long coat.
Maybe the story will follow the Angel-Illyria model, neutralize MavethWard, and he'll continue on Earth with less power and malevolence and become productive member of the team? I don't know what other character he could transition into, considering in his current state he could eat the planet and thus end the series.
I don't understand why Malick didn't kill Daisy. He seemed more than capable.
Last, I don't think they should rekindle the Ward-Daisy ship. MavethWard has Will's memories too, so maybe the writers are planning for a Simmons-Ward confrontation. I've always liked Ward's scenes with Fitz or Simmons.
