"Agent Carter" season one discussion and spoilers

[CorporalCaptain]

We still haven't had it confirmed that Dottie is the assassin who killed Krzemenski. I still agree that it's likely that that assassin is a woman. But what if it's not Dottie? Could Dottie be trying to protect Peggy? Maybe some of the Red Room trainees work for Leviathan now, but some (besides the girl survivor seen in "The Iron Ceiling") don't.

That's possible. She did seem somewhat idolized by her, with that creepy mirror scene.

Also, killing Krzemenski and the prisoner kept Peggy from getting implicated. So maybe Dottie is the assassin, but in her mind she did it in order to protect Peggy, if she knew the prisoner could identify Peggy.

If Dottie simply wanted to kill Peggy, it seems like she'd've had ample opportunity now for that.

Red Room knows that Stark is innocent and therefore that everyone in the SSR is an idiot.

If Red Room is vs. Leviathan, then Red Room is using the SSR, but more so Peggy because she's the only one smart enough to figure out the truth about Stark, as a third party to take care of Leviathan for them. Even if Red Room is being nice, they will be hung as spies if found on American soil this close to the war. Dotty is back up and support for if Carter is useful enough to deserve back up and support if she actually gets a clear shot at leviathan.

Even if Leviathan is officially part of of the Soviet Supercomplex, it could still be a secret civil war braying for Joey's approval, far above the level at which the FBI and CIA bitch at each over jurisdiction and nut weight.

 

[The Old Mixer]

I'd describe Dottie as "damaged".

Yup.

12 Bad guys dressed up in costumes representative of the Zodiac fighting the Avengers.

Even with Neil Adams art, they look ridiculous.

That was Sal Buscema.

 

[CorporalClegg]

I am really liking this show. Crosses fingers that it gets a second season.

Me too. But with the poor ratings it's a longshot.

 

[The Old Mixer]

With only 7 episodes, maybe a lot of people are waiting to binge it.

 

[Captain Craig]

With only 7 episodes, maybe a lot of people are waiting to binge it.

If they are, and it's a solid possibility, they would actually be contributing to it's demise(if that happens). They then would complain about not getting more after finding out how good a show it is/was.

 

[Guy Gardener]

They can tell when TIVO (And stuff like TIVO? I assume that a Nielson Box has all the functionality of a TIVO box?) records shows, and just because they only count the sho in questions views with three days of the original airing... That dooesn't mean that they know when Binges are happening.

Although...

If a Nielson Family saves up a season of something to view in a block, they know the consequences of doing that, and further more if they chose to later unload a full season of some thing from thier Nielson Box's hard drive over the course of one week end, wel they know, that family knows thatthey are shitting on that weekends first run programming who was expecting them to sit down and take notice.

This would be a seperate set of statitics that Nielson would show the networks and sponsors.

"With in one month of the show finishing, 600 nielson households chose to binge on Agent Carter and watch 3 to 2 month old advertising during the proccess, most of which was still relevant."

Sorry.

No one is monitoring your TIVO, except TIVO, and it's doubtful that TIVO sells that information on to anyone else, even though if they did, they could probably get away with it for years, and when the public did find out, they wouldn't care.

Netlix knows, and other cable applications know what you watch and how long you watch what you watch to an absolute certainty, and therefore taliors their product to your likes and dislikes, depending on how valuable the demographic you happen to be representative of is to them.

Neilson boxes aren't DVRs, it just keeps a record of what you watch. They've been around a lot longer than DVRs. As far as I know it's just a little gadget you attach to your TV.

 

[Guy Gardener]

The networks are interested in Nielsen scores which say if their viewers get around to watching something within three days of original view, which I assumed meant timeshifting media, not catching a rerun, which would be silly since reruns have different and the wrong advertising.

Commercial ratings[edit]

Nielsen also provides viewership data calculated as the average viewership for only the commercial time within the program. This "Commercial Ratings" first became available on May 31, 2007. Additionally, Nielsen provides different "streams" of this data in order to take into consideration delayed viewing (DVR) data, at any interval up to seven days.[11] C3 was the metric launched in 2007. C3 refers to the ratings for average commercial minutes in live programming plus three days of digital video recorder playback.[12] By the end of 2012, some TV executives wanted to see C7, ratings for live plus seven days, with Les Moonves of CBS making the claim C7 made ratings increase by 30 percent.[13]

I assumed the Nielson boxes had evolved apace with other media centre technology, even though the wiki article above does seem to say that the Nielsen box takes account for the userdata of a dvr rather than that a Nielsen box has a built in dvr... Someone here said that the Nielson group in the 1980s gave their family a swish massive TV to help them watch TV, which is probably even more of a bribe than it sounds.


Digital data from a dvr going into and out of your television from a dvr would have to co-operate with the nielson box if it was going to figure out c3 time shifting and c7 time shifting, which really no company other than Nielson would be interested in doing without getting a paid a shit ton for co-operating, or suing Nielson for co-opting their technology on a whole sale scale.

I don't recall his name being mentioned, so I had fun imaging he was J Jonah's father. He did remind me of JK Simmons, just a bit.

Too bad the Sony deal would probably block making a Jamison connection possible.

For some odd reason, I felt the need to quote this...

I think most still use journals (so you have to voluntarily report what you watch).

 

[Guy Gardener]

Pen and paper?

Wow.

How 19th century of them.

 

[Forbin]

I'd describe Dottie as "damaged".

Yup.

12 Bad guys dressed up in costumes representative of the Zodiac fighting the Avengers.

Even with Neil Adams art, they look ridiculous.

That was Sal Buscema.

Okay, even with Neil Adams art, they would look ridiculous!
(And I guess I just paid Sal a big compliment!)

Tivo is, yes, and you can opt in/out of them sharing the info.

Knowlege is a three edge sword.

Kosh Naranek, why aren't you the one who made this quote???? As a fanboy, you should be ashamed!

Because sometimes this fangirl is not the swiftest biscuit?

Sorry, I jumped on that as soon as I heard it. I couldn't think of anything else when he said that.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Tonight...

"A Sin to Err" - Peggy discovers the shocking truth about Leviathan but doesn't realize that her true enemies are even closer than she imagined. Meanwhile, Souza is close to confirming the truth about Peggy and may just put her in the crosshairs of the SSR, on "Marvel's Agent Carter," Tuesday, February 10 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

CBR has a new interview with Dottie actress Bridget Regan.

 

[Rush Limborg]

Act I:

Okay! At last, some stuff I wouldn't find at all predictable--the sniper-Morse with the engineer is CLEVER! And the guy they rescued...the odds! Leviathan is crazy-prepared, it would seem!

Love the Chief opening up about his wife.

Act II:

What's that about the kid?

This engineer is quite clever. Being a confidant with sage advice...being beyond suspicion.

Carter's analysis of the situation in the coffee shop is a great moment!.

I love Jarvis's smirk--"I'm quite getting the hang of this, really."

And at last...Peggy's been discovered. And I love the subtlety of her interactions--she's become very fond of Thompson...and Sousa. And the tears in Daniel's voice as he pleads.....

 

[Alidar Jarok]

I'm curious about that mind-control ring. That's something new.

 

[The Old Mixer]

I think it might just be good ol'-fashioned hypnosis.
