Dalton:Great way to start the interview!
Dalton:Whenever he gets here, you guys can interview him.
Yeah, yeah, its great.
Of course Im very excited that Im still on the show.
Ming-Na:No, not with that face.
Dalton:Hours of makeup.
Was it ever sad to say goodbye to Ward?
Dalton:Well, it was that last table read, yeah.
I wanted to really do the character justice.
I remember calling the guys after, like, Are we sure we got that?
Because its his last moment.
Hes there with Coulson and its strangely intimate.
I just wanted it to be right.
I became a little protective towards the end.
Ming-Na:Yeah, hes gone through the most emotional trauma with that because it is.
You fall in love with your characters.
You invest so much time into creating them along with the writers.
Then its like hey, just kidding, actually you were a spy the whole time.
Oh, okay, now were going over here.
And then actually, now youre dead.
So theres this creature, right?
And its going to walk around in your body.
And you dont get a lot of time to adjust.
Ming-Na:Because they dont tell us anything until the next script really.
You really do have to create very quickly.
Dalton:So its been fun.
If it comes down to killing Lash, do you think May would hesitate?
Ming-Na:Well, she did shoot her man several times point blank.
Dalton:But in a loving way.
Ming-Na:In a way to save him from himself.
Dalton:This hurts you more than it hurts me.
Wait, the opposite.
Thats why she says that line, Welcome to the cavalry.
Ultimately, youve made those decisions, youve done those actions, you have to move on.
What are you still learning about Hive, Brett?
Ming-Na:Yeah, what are you still learning about Hive?
I love Hive by the way.
Dalton:Hes different, hes different.
Its a big thing.
I shouldnt say that I dont know what Im doing.
I just feel like its a big stretch.
Its a big difference from Ward.
Sometimes I feel like Im out on a limb.
I know that everybodys not going to let me fall.
Its not going to be like, Oh yeah, shouldnt have done that.
But its a risky move.
Its not one step in the other direction.
Its like four or five.
So what am I still learning about the guy?
Well, apparently Inhuman stuff doesnt really seem to work on him too well.
The guy with the paralyzing eyes doesnt seem to have any effect.
And also that Giyera looks like he is totally under the control of this guy as well.
We are going to see what that means.
It seems like there is certainly a connection between him and other Inhumans.
They have their own function within a larger plan I guess.
So I think were starting to learn what that is.
Whatever it is, it seems to involve many people.
Ming-Na:I love how youre trying to answer that question without answering it.
Good play, good play, good play.
I just love the fact that theres a character now on our show that shows less emotion than May.
Dalton:Oh yeah, it makes May seem like shes in a soap opera or something.
What can you say about May training other members of the team?
Ming-Na:Well, they gave some of it away in the trailer that they just showed.
Its her training Simmons to use a gun.
So shes always there to guide and give her stoic advice.
Dalton:Which is in as few words as possible.
Ming-Na:Which is good for me.
