"Agent Carter" season one discussion and spoilers

Heck, I thought that was a hook into the show and they'd have developed a shadow Hydra person already.
According to Zola's lines in The Winter Soldier, he was the one who began the HYDRA infiltration of SHIELD, and he wasn't brought in until after SHIELD was founded. So no, I don't expect to see any HYDRA infiltrators in Agent Carter. Nor do I understand why some people seem to want that. That's Agents of SHIELD's storyline. This is a different show and it should do something different, something new. And that's exactly what it has been doing by delving into Leviathan and the origins of the Black Widow program. It's adding something of its own to the tapestry rather than just telling us something we already knew.
That was a great episode.
Ha-ha! Thompson told them to send more men, and she really seemed sorry to kick his backside. Poor Daniel seemed very torn.
Another poster pointed out that we have not seen Dottie's wrists, but since Angie and Carter are such good friends, would she not have noticed any unusual marks on Angie? (I guess I just really hope that Angie is just a good friend and not a kick in the gut.)
I laughed out loud over Angie saying that when Carter talked shop she complained about her male co-workers. Ha!
It makes me wonder why Dottie killed the man trying to kill Carter and why she incapacitated her this ep. Other than knocking her out and searching Carter's room she has not been lethal where Carter is concerned.
I am very intrigued.

In the first case, the man was threatening Dottie directly, so she reacted as she was trained to do and dispatched the threat. (Plus she wanted his fancy gun.)
In the latter, she was ordered to kill Peggy; but she was in a building that was currently swarming with SSR agents, which isn't a good place to commit a murder. She may have figured it was a wiser tactic to knock Peggy out and let the SSR deal with her. Besides, now that the SSR was hunting Peggy, that would let Dottie use her as a decoy, maybe pinning some of her own crimes on Peggy.
There's certainly wiggle room here.
"After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded, and I was recruited. The new Hydra grew - a beautiful parasite inside S.H.I.E.L.D. For 70 years Hydra has been secretly feeding crisis--reaping war."
I agree it shouldn't be the main storyline of the show - just surprised it hasn't been eluded to at all. (yet)
No, Dottie evidently intended to kill Peggy with a knife after knocking her out first. I'd say that knocking Peggy out first was to keep her from screaming in the building crawling with Feds. Dottie put her knife away before the anyone else could see it, when the agents found her standing over Peggy.
^ That's quite a precious piece. [edit - what I was referring to has apparently been deleted.]

Dottie did not receive orders to "Kill Peggy Carter" until last night, which explains why she hasn't made an effort so far--and even dispatched that gangster with the automatic pistol. And, yes, she was going to kill Peggy last night but the SSR agents interrupted her.
Presumably, the Russian shrink gave the order because Peggy was the only agent looking for a female Russian assassin.
Meanwhile, the shrink was probably only posing as a captive at that Leviathan prison last week. The whole point of that trap was to allow him to be "rescued" by the SSR, so he could gain access to "the item"--which I'm guessing is Captain America's blood.

It's just amazing how quickly he climbed the ranks that Dottie was the muscle during his induction, and now, only a couple years later, she is following his orders with out question.
You're assuming that Dr. Ivchenko was telling the truth about his recruitment.
It's a covert operation in which they're both playing a part. That he's in the position to call her targets doesn't mean that he outranks her or is her direct boss.
That's true.
How many teeth is Peggy going to have left by the time Thompson has finished punching her?
Although, the new guy under hypnotic command is going to rip into every one with a machine gun, and during that melee, carter is going to make her escape.

That might be difficult, considering the fact that he's a hood ornament now.
Oh for fucks sake!

Didn't the showrunners say in an interview back in November or December that they were going to steer clear of any hints about Hydra infiltration? I forget the exact reason though, maybe they didn't want to show Carter getting punked on her own show. Or maybe they just thought they had other more interesting stories to tell, and didn't want to waste precious time on a story everyone already knew.
Well, I guess they're not going to fail to take Peggy seriously after this. But it was heartbreaking to see her go from being finally accepted by the group to being hunted down as a traitor. She would have gotten away, too, if not for Dottie-- it was ironic to see her own knockout lipstick come back to haunt her. "That's my brand."
I know it's supposed to be a running gag that Howard Stark has a weakness for women (and vice versa), but it's hard to rationalize why so many women would be so violently angry with him.
Ivchenko seems to have quite the formidable power of persuasion to compel that guy to kill himself and almost take control of Dooley. I wonder if he has Dottie hypnotized. And I wonder if that ring is just a prop he uses for his Mesmerism, or if it's some kind of artifact.
And I wonder if they got Jarvis, too, or if he's still on the loose.
