I couldn’t care less who Peggy Carter’s future husband might be, not any time soon. To me first and way more importantly Peggy Carter is an a-kicking, smart, interesting person, lead character of the show. I watch the show for her not for some future romance. We know she got married (well, if you watched the movies that is), so no need to worry she might die as bitter old spinter. But not one of the guys so far shown would in my opinion qualify as good enough to become Penny’s husband one day, either they have to improve significantly or the writers have to find some guy who really can offer Peggy something and take her as the great woman she is – but they can do that in season 4 or so on my behalf, not wishing for romance any time soon.
Most certainly don’t get any vibes from her and Jarvis, they are work partners, maybe will be friends, but no romance material there IMO. I find them as friends way more interesting than any kind of romantical development could be. As I find it a lot more interesting, if Angie is an ally or a pretender, and what about new neighbor Dottie (was she the one who killed that guy from the boat and Agent Krzeminski?). Or who is behind Leviathan and what are they up to (not Hydra but very much alike it, a foe to SSR and Hydra I think; after the Nazis were defeated, after WWII, the communist threat was the new thing, possible some secret organization equal to Hydra emerged there). This is Marvel cinema univers, spys spying on spys spying on spys, secrets having secrets, double, triple and more agents. Of course there is at least one mole in the office.
And I love this show for its costumes and props and music. It happens that I marvel just at that, the love for detail, and then have to rewind to pay attention again to the story. 1940s, big band sounds, groups like the Andrew Sisters, and hats (so considering to go to the nearby milliner and look if they have something close to Penny’s red fedora – ah, never mind, Stetson has it, so just need some extra money). Not to mention some noir style.
Hayle Atwell is doing her own stunts. She was quite sorry to have hit some people (though it’s not like even best trained stuntmen and -women don’t hit each other and get some bruises at times). Fighting looks really good for that.

Myril, I totally agree with you…it’s so cool to see such a strong, intelligent female character. That’s one of the reasons I like SHIELD and Agent Carter: their female characters are very independent and smart.
The storyline and character development is definitely the most important aspect of the show, but shipping is part of the fun too. I don’t like Peggy and Jarvis as a couple either…Jarvis is married! I am never a fan of breaking up a happy marriage for a new fling.
But I really like the style of the show. I love her outfits! Peggy is such a classy young woman, and she’s very entertaining to watch.
The fun for me in entertainment is good story telling and interesting characters, not watercooler like office gossip of who is into who or who would look good with who. Actually it tends to take a lot of fun out of things for me, because it takes stories and even more so discussions and fandoms over. But YMMV.

Jarvis is my hero. Awesome backstory. 😎
I am waffling so bad about Sousa. First I thought he was the perfect guy, and ‘shipped’ him with Peggy. Then I thought he was a mole. Now I think he might just be the perfect guy again! I’m probably just reading way too much into things. I do that a lot, but I thought with this show it might be valid. But maybe not! 😀
When the other guy said to him “No girl is going to trade a red white and blue shield for an aluminum crutch”, I wanted to scream at the hurt on his face! 😡 I think Peggy likes a man who is good, kind, and noble. Not super-strength. And I’m guessing that’s not just me.

And I was confused by the ending. Was that Leviathan watching the place, and that did the shooting? I am assuming that it was Leviathan, and I have no idea who else it could be, but the scene did not make it entirely clear.
And remember, Leviathan is only after one specific (unknown) piece of tech, and as of last week they were still looking for it. So if that was Leviathan at the end there, then they found the stuff before Peggy did. That means they already got what they were after, and left everything else for the SSR. And without comparing what was recovered to a full list of what was stolen, there is no way to know what is still missing.
Peggy needs to get a list from Stark (or Jarvis) of exactly what was stolen.
Also, it seems that typewriter guy was actually killed, which they didn’t make clear last week.

On a random note, I think it’s kind of funny that Jarvis’ wife is only an unseen voice off screen. 😆

That made me really mad too! #whyyagottabesorude 😛

Yeah! I didn’t catch that either! I asked my brother where he was, and he was like “Umm…he died” :0

Peggy nailed him with a knife onto the van’s top, and he went with it the over the edge. But when we see the van sinking into the water, there was no one on the top anymore. Seeing what the explosion-implosion did though very unlikely he surived, but never know.
¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
^ I had forgoten about the knife and the truck, but I think I had assumed last week that he fell off right before it went over the edge, and that he escaped. But in this episode they said they were “still pulling what’s left of him from the truck wreckage”.
So unless there was someone else stashed in the truck when it went over, and those remains were from someone else and unidentifiable? That seems really unlikely, but they did only get his picture and fingerprints from the passports and other things that he left in his room, which they found when they checked out the key that he dropped.
Although, there really shouldn’t be anything left of the truck wreckage, but whatever. 🙄

Random thought I didn’t mention before:
The blond guy who does the interrogations, Thomas? Thompson? (I’ve been calling him “Mr Personality”, LOL!) Anyway, the strange thing about him, is that he kind of reminds me of Ward! 😮 Both in the way he looks, and the way he acts, particularly when he is interrogating. I noticed it during the first interrogation, and again during the second (very different) one. And now I can’t get it out of my head!
And once again, he could be Ward’s grandfather, LOL! 😆

Speaking of grandfathers, I just watched Avengers again, and I had forgotten that Enver Gjokaj had a cameo there! In the battle of NYC, he is one of the cops on the street. He says a line about the National Guard being an hour away, and his partner responds:
“An hour? Does the army know what’s happening here?!?”
Gjokaj: “Do WE?”So, what do you think, Sousa’s grandson as NYC cop?

Oh, definitely not. Jarvis’ complete devotion to his wife is one of his most wonderful qualities! 😀
I do like them as friends though. 😎
