Jaxom 1974 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'm still enjoying the sjow. I think there are some silly bots, to be sure, but I watch the show and see how they're laying the kind of groundwork that makes me understand why Shield became what it was.

This episode ramped up what I have been disliking about this season. The actress woman (I am totally blanking on her name...) and her Senator-wannabe husband promise millions of dollars to a gangster in order to get...2 goons?!?! One of which is beat up by a secretary? The whole bringing along Rose and the scientist guy was farcical. They've just gone too far with the silliness - it's hard to reconcile this Peggy Carter with the one we've seen in the movies. Fair & accurate.... I can't argue.... really I was referring to just this episode... but to your point.... yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mladen Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The problem with this show is that the plot is unworthy of its star. Atwell is so great and she brought so much life to a character that can easily be dismissed as Steve's girlfriend. But, as amazing is to watch her, this season we have the problem of plots not being as dynamic and interesting as they should have. And I would agree on criticism that everything seems a bit off. I really, really hope that we would get Season 3 and that writing gets better. It is still good, but I don't want to talk about MAC's flaws... That makes me sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'm really liking this season, and I don't really mind the increased silliness. Jarvis is so much fun. The 'love story' is the weakest aspect, probably because there is absolutely zero chemistry between Peggy and the scientist dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfell is Burning Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 This show could also use more Howard Stark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denstorebog Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The actress playing Frost is phenomenal. Really a great addition to the show, and her character is a cool concept as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting fir her to Don her mask and take her place as the primary antagonist for the early Shield and Peggy...you know, which allows Hydra to establish itself in the shadows of Shield...

Martini Sigil Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 My understanding is that ABC is cancelling this show.... which makes me sad in a world where the Jersey Shore got several seasons.... hopefully this can be one of the shows that Netflix decides to save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Carter and Galavant got 50% less viewership than last year, while Castle and Once Upon a Time are somewhere around 30% less than last year. Overall, bad year... Who would have though Grey's Anatomy would be saving the season on ABC? But, yeah, it might get cancelled. Although, what a glorious return it would be if it goes to Netflix.

RumHam Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Official synopsis of the finale: Quote Peggy needs Howard Stark to eliminate Zero Matter as they are faced with a mission none of them could come back from, on the season finale of “Marvel’s Agent Carter”. I love how they're trying to play up life or death stakes for two characters who we already know go on to live for decades... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastard of Boston Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Last week's silly episode seems like it may have been by design, because this week's episodes were significantly less lighthearted. Maybe the showrunners felt like they needed it, leading into the finale. I love Dottie. She's a ton of fun -- sort of like the Joker to Peggy's Batman. Not sure if this series will get another shot, but I want her to be a constant presence. Whitney Frost also came into her own as a villain tonight.

The BlackBear Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 They really did manage the tone much better. Kicking the dog is always a good move for a villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not so sure Batman/Joker is the right comparison. Marvel usually likes to stay in the house (remember Guardians and Avengers) so I actually believe that Dottie will be Black Widow to Peggy's Fury. They are creating a scenario in which Dottie doesn't have anyone but Peggy. And Peggy most definitely knows her value. As for the tone, this time there were no strange transitions and it worked perfectly. I especially liked how Dottie was slowly changing her reaction to her tormentors. First, it was so hilarious, bad ass "you can't hurt me" to the fear, acting and then complete horror facing Whitney. I am not huge fan of how the show is handling Thompson's character but I guess they have to make some room for the explanation of how Hydra penetrated SHIELD. Overall, it's a simple recipe... The more Dottie, the better it gets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Bridget Regan really has the "crazy eyes" thing down.... Dottie is just a more bad ass version of the girl she played in White Collar... and even her cameo in John Wick had that crazy hot chick vibe.

The more Dottie, the better it gets I've been thinking the same thing, especially after the comments that her Russian bosses abandoned her. Dottie may end up being one of the first agents of SHIELD.

The only other thing I have seen her was Legend of the Seeker. So far, she is doing great. I would be extremely sad if two of my favorite female-lead shows are cancelled this season. The Good Wife is gone, but I still hope MAC will stay with us for many years to come. 23 minutes ago, Leofric said: I've been thinking the same thing, especially after the comments that her Russian bosses abandoned her.

And Jarvis with them... Oh, what a wonderful threesome would that be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieStone Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Only complaint for this double episode is that they really played up Peggy's injury in the first episode, and then in the 2nd episode - which was only hours later - she seems to be perfectly healed.

I was on the fence about watching another season, to be honest. I thought season 2 was well below season 1. And since I won't come back to any of those DC shows you mentioned, I would not have felt bad if I gave this one up, too. Yet another reason now to give up cable.
