Agent Carter Discussion Thread

[torrie]

I thought last night’s episode was really good! It was nice to see Peggy standing up to Howard…I think she actually made him feel guilty! I do like Howard’s character though…I don’t necessarily trust him, but I think he’s very interesting.

As usual, I’m disgusted by the other agents’ treatment of Sousa. When he was interrogating that bum, and told him the story about everyone clapping for him because of his leg, I felt so bad for him 🙁  And then that blond agent has to go be a jerk about it as well!

And what’s up with Peggy’s neighbor? Who could she be?

Also, one of the best parts of watching last night’s episode was seeing the SHIELD promo…it looks so intense!! I can’t wait until March!!!

I thought the second-in-command seemed to be speaking from his own pain, not out of malice. I wonder if he’s something like Mark Sheppard’s character from Doctor Who.

So, new episode tonight and I haven’t even commented on last week’s! 😮

But first, here’s a link to an interesting comment about Leviathan, from a discussion on the first episode. The poster is very knowledgable about comics, and is always a good source of information and historical details. 🙂

Some details about leviathan’s origins in the comics. The show could still do something different, but this explanation would make plenty of sense so far. 🙂

Ok, when watching the episode, I actually jotted down a list of things I wanted to mention. I just haven’t had a chance to turn the list into, you know, sentences. 🙄

So this might be a bit disjointed, but I wanted to post my comments about last week, before watching this week. So here goes:

—

First, a sweater pocket for a chicken! LOLOLOL!!!!! 😆 😆

Howard just really should NOT be let in that boarding house. Peggy basically just hid the fox in the henhouse! 😮

And yeah, Jarvis would be terrible at poker. 😆 Although, they seem to have come up with that just for this episode, as he didn’t rub his ear last week when he was being interrogated, for example. Or did he not actually lie then? :think:

Sousa’s story when he was trying to interrogate the homeless guy, wow, just wow. *humble* And Thompson is like a savant when it comes to interrogations, so I knew all Sousa really had to do was interest Thompson enough to try. I knew the guy would talk in seconds if Thompson went in there.

So when Thompson went into the interrogation room, I knew he had taken pity on Sousa. Now, I know that is a very unfortunate choice of words, but it was deliberate. I actually don’t think that is what happened at that particular moment, I think he finally noticed how strongly Sousa felt about this lead, and realized there may actually be something of value to discover. But in the general circumstances, I think pity is something that happens far too often. And not in a nice way. 🙁

So the new girl next door, holy crap! 😮 😮 😮

“Is that gun automatic? I WANT IT.”
*woosh*

😯 😯 LOL!

That’s how I thought it would turn out, but this week’s episode explained it differently.

I really liked last night’s episode. I was glad we got to learn about Thompson’s war story…by the end of the episode, I felt like I understood his character/behavior a lot more than before.

The locker room scene between Sousa and Peggy was kind of funny, but of course that has to be how he discovers she’s working for Stark. There looks to be an intense scene between them in the next episode.

I loved seeing Peggy in action, with all the men around her (especially Thompson) seeing her fight like a pro. She won a lot of respect in that episode, which is evident in the scenes between Peggy and Thompson throughout the second half of the episode.

I am not a fan of that girls camp in Russia…”Dotty” is a very scary individual…it’s so creepy that she still sleeps with handcuffs. And when she killed that little girl in the beginning, I nearly screamed.

Interesting that it’s Steve’s “before” picture that’s important to Peggy. It must really bother her when people assume it’s the “after” version that attracted her.

It explains a lot about Natasha, if she went to a school like that.

Ooh, Sousa knows! 😮

When Jarvis said he didn’t know anything about the General or the fist fight, he started to reach for his ear, and then stopped himself. Did anyone else notice that? 🙂

Yeah, the girls’ school was pretty creepy. “Regretting the lack of knickers!” 😆 I do wonder if Romanov was trained in a place like that. She did say she started that early.

Great to see the howling commandos, but I’m sorry to see some get killed. 🙁

Now, this guy that they brought back is a plant, a double agent, a spy for sure. Why? They KNEW it was a trap, and for a trap they could have been sent anywhere just to get killed, why would it be where anyone important actually was? Only if they were MEANT to find that guy. He’s probably the Leviathan head honcho himself! 😮

And it’s good to see the boss is finally open to the possibility that Stark is being framed. He’s run into enough things that don’t add up, and he’s ready to look for the truth, even if it’s not what he expected.

And yes, we’re getting some very interesting character development for Thompson.

Also: “An old testament sea monster, who types!” 😆

This week’s Kingpin cameo was cute.

I haven’t seen last night’s episode yet, so this is my review of last week’s: Episode 7 “Snafu”: 🙂

Anyway, I loved this ep, particularly the guys’ various reactions to Peggy. Both to her apparent betrayal, and to her telling the full story. And also their faces, (particularly Sousa’s) when she explained the vial of Steve’s blood.

I especially liked in the initial interrogation that Thompson, having learned to trust her, was the one to say “something is not right here”, “something doesn’t add up”. And Sousa, who liked her, was hurt.

Her descriptions of the different ways each of them saw her were particularly revealing:

*To each in turn*:
“You think you know me, but I’ve never been more than what each of you has created.”
*To Dooley* “To you, I’m a stray kitten, left on your doorstep to be protected.
*To Thompson* “The secretary turned damsel in distress.
*To Sousa* “The girl on the pedestal, transformed into some daft whore.”

And then later, their somewhat humble understanding when she explained how she had operated unnoticed by them, because they treat her as invisible. (Which, not coincidentally, is the reason Ivchenko gave for using women as spy / assassins: they are invisible.)

When they went to confront Dottie, and Thompson warned Sousa to be careful, I like how he clarified: No, I’m not questioning your abilities. I’m warning you about the abilities of this adversary!

And I think it’s now pretty obvious just what happened in Finow. Clearly, it was the rage gas! 😯 The US military must have tested it on the Russians, something I assume Stark had not consented to, despite his weapons contract. Which he then ended in protest. And, having seen his creation misused, built the vault.

So, the most wanted item in his vault, is also the reason he built it! 😮

Final quote:
