"Agent Carter" season one discussion and spoilers

Agreed.

 

Having Tommy Lee Jones show up would be a bonus. Whether that'll happen will depend on whether or not there's a second season. No?

 

Here is an interesting interview with Hayley Atwell at IGN. Is this what you saw?

My favorite bit...

First off, it shows there is interest from both Marvel and Hayley Atwell in continuing on to multiple seasons.

Second, I like the idea of each season jumping forward to a different era in Peggy's life-- sort of Peggy filling in the blanks in the years between WW2 and the present in the MCU. "It's all connected". We already know that season one will have a connection to Iron Man 2 in the form of Anton Vanko, what other connections can future seasons bring?

 

She could investigate the disappearance of a young boy after the death of his mother in the eighties?

 

That's fine. I'm sure they will tie it in implicitly with SHIELD (and/or the movies).

Yeah, I'm surprised they got it made at all. And with the ratings for SHIELD not being that great, I'm sure the prospects for a second season are even dicier.

 

Yeah, people tend to forget (or perhaps never realized) that after taking DVRs, Hulu and other streaming sources into account, season one was the fifth most watched show on broadcast television of the season*. Overnight numbers don't mean nearly as much as they once did.

*Source: Variety. Not going to dig up the link unless it becomes an issue.

 

I wonder if they'll feel confined to keeping possible future Agent Carter seasons in winter, or if they might consider using it as a summer fill-in too.

Why limit themselves to 9 months when they can go for all 12?



Two days away!

 

Only if someone saw that young boy get sucked up into a wicked-looking spaceship via a lightbeam!

 

Okay, that's good. A friend of mine posts ratings on another board, and it seems like there was a huge drop off in season one and steady erosion in season two. I've been worried about renewal for season three.

 

How Captain America will be a part of Agent Carter...

Spoiler: Agent Carter

Drawing from the Golden Age of Radio, “The Captain American Adventure Hour” details Cap’s heroic adventures fighting Nazis and saving his dame, Betty Carver, a.k.a. Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell).

“It’s the bane of Peggy’s existence because you have the Peggy character on the show, Betty Carver, and she’s played by this actress who does a soft Marilyn Monroe voice and she’s always in jeopardy,” executive producer Michele Fazekas says. “If someone has a radio on, you’ll sometimes hear it, and it’s like, ‘Oh my God, can you please turn that off?’ It’s just fun and a great little window into that time period.”

 

Cool. That gets my hopes up for a season three.

 

Tonight's the night!

 

Can't wait!

 

Shield won't exist during Agent Carter, right? Though she was the first Shield agent, Coulson in Iron Man 1 made it sound like Shield was only recently created. I wonder if she'll get inducted as the first, as a tribute to her service, after her run is complete with SSR.

 

^The Agent Carter short film ended with Howard Stark assigning Peggy to found SHIELD and be its first director. Evidently this season of the series will take place before the short film.

 

I'm pretty sure SHIELD's existence is going to be retconned in Agent Carter. And I really don't care about that. The Strategic Homeland long-ass name was just a gimmick/joke in the first Iron Man movie.
