"Agent Carter" season one discussion and spoilers
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
^To be fair, he'd been softening him up all day. Clearly there's something about that ring that opens people to suggestion. Could it be one of the Mandarin's (the real one) ten power rings? I assume one of them grants psychic powers of some description. Bonus points if it's the left ring finger.
I don't think he hypnotising people, to me it looked more like some kind of mind control, but I could ofcoruse be wrong.
Sentient raccoon? No problem.
Living trees? Sure, why not.
100ft flying space worms from an interdimensional portal? Works for me.
Hypnosis? Woah, let's not get crazy here.
Agent Carter may have a different tone from the rest of the MCU, but it's still a part of the MCU. I don't see how superpowers or magic rings are absurd coming from this universe.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that might be one of the Mandarin's Rings. Or if not the original, at least a workable knockoff.
According to: http://marvel.com/universe/Mandarin%27s_Rings... the Left Ring Finger: Mento-Intensifier AKA "The Liar", Magnifies the Mandarin’s psychic energy enabling him to mentally control a person. Only effective at short range. (I just checked the scene from this weeks episode and the ring he used to dull the pain of the solider whose limb was being amputated was on his LEFT RING FINGER!!!

I loved that scene. It was like something you'd see on XENA back in its glory days.
And, you know, Dottie kinda reminds me of Callisto . . . .
Promo for the finale, "Valediction"...

We appear to have a working hypothesis.
hmmm...
It was a great hour of television.
Jarvis' panic letter and breaking the glass only to still be handcuffed to the table were priceless.
I was sorry to see the chief go.
Peggy owned her interrogation.
Leviathan lured them to Russia to get the team to bring back the doc. Are we to assume that he influenced the other man in the cell to go for the gun and take a hostage so that he could ingratiate himself?

"I've just thought of something."
"We're still attached to a table."
"We are still attached to a table."
And Dottie invented parkour! Eat it, history!
I've realized something I'm not happy about:
On the contrary -- the more tough a man acts, the more vulnerabilities he's hiding. Denying your own weaknesses lets them flourish.

I've realized something I'm not happy about:
They showed Sousa in the dentist's office reading the orders for Peggy Carter's assassination. They made sure we got a good look at those orders as he read them, the same orders we already saw Dottie write down last week. Now, why would they show that scene? If he were a good guy, he'd just say "Hey, Peggy, they want to kill you," and we already knew that, so then the scene would serve no purpose. The only reason that scene would be included is if Sousa's working for Leviathan and now intends to carry out the hit on Peggy. Which is a real bummer, if true.

I noticed that, but:
I thought, why is Sousa looking at these, are these his orders now, too? but Dot apparently left the case with the pages in the office with the corpse of dentist she killed. I think they were showing he's discovered it. I don't actually remember Sousa having a chance to tell Peg much of anything with the Chief going to pieces like that.
My read on that scene was that it was to help sell the idea of Sousa coming back around to believing Peggy. Makeing his acceptance seem credible is especially important since he was the one that outed her and was the most stung by her apparant betrayal. He saw with his own eyes a kill order against her made by the enemy, ergo she's telling the truth.
