I felt so bad for Peggy when she had to screw up the Jarvis interrogation on purpose so that the SSR would let him go. It's already bad enough for her because of her gender and now that she's done this, it makes her unprofessional in the eyes of the other agents :( But I have a feeling that one day she'll become bigger and better than the other guys and be a hero in her own way.
Loved that we got to learn more about Jarvis' past and how he did everything in his power to get Anna to safety, even if it means risking his job. We got to see a different side of him in this episode and it was great. James D'Arcy is really rocking this role with his clever humour and how likeable he is. Loved that bit where he called Agent Sousa and used his American accent to tell them where Howard's stolen items are XD
Krzeminski's death was a real gut punch to the characters and it means that Leviathan is a real threat to Peggy and SSR. They are not messing around. Also, loved that fight scene where Peggy was fighting that bad guy on the boat and Jarvis comes in and saves the day. Their friendship is beginning to grow and I love that. So epic.
Awww at Peggy getting emotional at the automat and Angie telling her that she will clock out and go home with her to have that schnapps (hopefully with rhubarb pie too!).
I'm starting to get suspicious a little bit suspicious of Angie, more so Dottie. Now I'm wondering if either one of them is not what they seem and will ultimately betray Peggy. But for right now, I'll just enjoy Peggy having some company :)
I'm liking everybody. The fights are great. I wish they'd get a little bit more direction going. But I can't fault the tone or style or writing. I'm just left wishing for a bit more...stakes...I guess?
much better episode in my opinion, loved the Jarvis backstory and want punch my hand through thompson's face and rip his throat out, Leviathan is definitely a threat and look like a formidable force damn, love Angie more and more and wow Bridget Regan looks so different as a blonde LOL, hate fry so much but if Molly didn't get kicked out there would be no Bridget so it's kind of a double-edged sword, poor Molly, Sousa's no dummy is he? he's definitely gonna get closer
Daredevil is being released in April that's 3 months from now , production was completed on 21 December last year, that means they can at least make a good promo trailer of the first couple of episodes.
I'm talking about Kyle Bornheimer the actor who played Agent Krzeminski. He's one of those actors whose shows get picked up but gets unceremoniously canceled after a few episodes. And I thought that with him being on this particular show his chances of getting a more steady gig were getting better, only to have him get killed off three episodes in.
My love for Jarvis keeps on getting stronger, his terrible attempts at an accent, that lovely backstory about his wife, just how he wants to get involved with Peggy's missions. So adorable.
Oh and Peggy needs a hug, glad she went to Angie at the end. Even if Ray was a brute after the 24 hours she had and with the memory of WW2 still being so fresh I imagine it hit hard.
That new girl Dottie is more suspicious than Angie and Sousa...
Still waiting for/expecting/hoping for Angie to be some sort of spy/agent for the enemy. But if that were to happen, how are they gonna make it work, already 3 episodes in, when the show only has 7 episodes. Gonna feel rushed if thy're gonna go that route... Otherhand, Angie might just be just that. A waitress, nothing more.
And how convenient for Peggy, the person who saw her on the boat got killed(aswell as the agent who got told) so she wouldn't be exposed.
After three episodes (of the eight to be aired this season) it's Official: "Agent Carter" is my favorite comic-book TV series! Sorry, "Arrow"...but, you shouldn't have killed off Sara!
Everything about this show is so Right: the 40s music ("Is you is, or is you ain't"), decor, and slang are all spot-on. Peggy doing so many "alias'" that Jennifer Garner would be proud. The sexism of the era--not just in the office scenes, but the women (who had worked in the factories during the war and proven themselves capable) being unceremoniously fired in order to give returning G.I.'s their well-paying jobs. I could go on and on. This show is so much more mature & complex than the usual comic-book series/movies. Is it a coincidence that the series Creator and the Showrunner are both women? And, is "Agent Carter's" success based on the fact that there's little "set" mythology to Peggy Carter that the series would have to follow; and thus gives the creators vast liberties to create interesting, mature narratives?
Now, one last thing--that may upset fans of the show.
I've been on a very strong successful run of "Plot Predictions" this year, and figuring out the Shockers, so here goes: the person who killed Agent Krzeminski and the thug at the railroad crossing was ANGIE! Yes, my theory is Peggy's goofy waitress friend is actually a Baddie; probably planted early on by whomever is behind the plot to destroy Howard Stark, to keep an eye on Peggy--because of Peggy's prior relationship with Stark. If you re-watch the murder scene you'll notice the camera angles don't allow the viewer a clear view of the killer's height. Also, I'm a fan of the old "Nikita" show that Lyndsy Fonseca appeared on, and she has walked just like the Killer walks (in the long shot) when returning to the car after shooting the thug.
Having Angie as the Baddie/Killer would be another tweak of the men-underestimating-women theme that's running throughout the series [And maybe a nod to the waitress/killer from the period piece movie, "The Sting"]. Also, it explains Lyndsy Fonseca's "Guest Star" status: she'll be caught by Peggy, probably in the last episode, and it'll be very bittersweet. Peggy will "prove" herself to the un-deserving men she works with, by capturing a female baddie--who the men would never consider looking for, because "women are not smart, tough, cold-blooded" enough to be killers.
Lastly, if my theory is correct, my guess is Angie will be revealed as a Baddie to the viewers in the next episode or two. We'll know before Peggy does, and it will add another layer of tension to our viewing, watching Peggy discover bits & pieces of facts pointing to Angie's guilt--just as Peggy has finally "opened up" and accepts Angie as a friend & confidant.
As much as I love Peggy, Angie and most especially Jarvis, I think I know why I didn't like last night's episode as much. The minute that clown yelled at Peggy like she was gum stuck to the bottom of his shoe, I lost my mind. No way, no how, no where. He would be eating his nads for breakfast. I know it's the era and how women were treated but I still did not like seeing it and it could not have been me. I didn't appreciate the condescending load of BS coming out of his mouth.
I feel your pain. But the main point of the scene was to show how Peggy was willing to sacrifice her dignity in order to get a comrade (Jarvis) out of a no-win situation. It really ramps up Peggy's Hero status. She "won" by sacrificing herself.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Great episode love Jarvis
ReplyDeleteGreat episode!

I liked it I guess the two hour premiere last week was a little better
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit sadder than last week's episode but the fight scene on the tug was good.
ReplyDeleteweird, it's the opposite for me i loved this one better
ReplyDeleteI'm liking everybody. The fights are great. I wish they'd get a little bit more direction going. But I can't fault the tone or style or writing. I'm just left wishing for a bit more...stakes...I guess?
ReplyDeleteyeah me too on the Daredevil promo but let's be honest that show is nowhere near close to now LOL
ReplyDeleteTotally agree--there should definitely be more to actress Angie. She was way too pushy making friends.
ReplyDeletei liked the fight because we all know Carter's badass but even SHE can have trouble with a bigger enemy than her and it's more realistic in my opinion
ReplyDeletemuch better episode in my opinion, loved the Jarvis backstory and want punch my hand through thompson's face and rip his throat out, Leviathan is definitely a threat and look like a formidable force damn, love Angie more and more and wow Bridget Regan looks so different as a blonde LOL, hate fry so much but if Molly didn't get kicked out there would be no Bridget so it's kind of a double-edged sword, poor Molly, Sousa's no dummy is he? he's definitely gonna get closer
ReplyDeleteNot as great as the first two episodes, but it was a solid continuation.
ReplyDelete(And kind sad Kyle's character died... guy just can't get a break...)
you mean in Chuck?

oh i thought you meant that he dies on every show he's on but yeah i know about his curse

Awesome episode, we have now seen a lot and interesting Stark is still the bad guy.
ReplyDeleteWhy always Budapest? Come on Marvel, what do you suggest? :D :D

A fantastic follow-up to that series premiere.

ReplyDeleteIt was indeed awesome and intense
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure we weren't supposed to appreciate it when that happened.
ReplyDeleteWas it an actual promo for Daredevil or that motion poster one?
ReplyDeleteThe motion poster one.
