Agent Carter - Season 2
- Thread starter Gaith
- Start date
Yep, it's 2 hours here too.
Thanks for the reminder (although the thought that went in my head was "oh crap, it's past my bedtime.").
I think that I read somewhere that they are going to double up on the remaining episodes this season.
According to wikipedia, two episodes on 2/23 and the final single episode on 3/1.

Yeah... It took a couple of weeks to warm to her, but she's really effective in the role, with a great strong voice.
It's also great to see Dottie back for more. It's odd... I first became aware of Bridget Regan when she starred in Legend of the Seeker, and I found her a bit underwhelming there, but she's killed it (pun somewhat intended) in her later roles on White Collar and here. I guess she's best at playing the bad girl -- she has this knack for being simultaneously sweet/endearing and crazy/scary. I love how gleefully confident she is as Dottie. I mean, it's certainly horrible what Leviathan did to her to turn her into what she is, all the torture and psychological abuse she was subjected to, but I couldn't help grinning along with Dottie when Vernon Masters brought out the torture implements without realizing that it was basically her idea of a hot date. This is a series about women who defy men's expectations of their fragility, and while Dottie may be the darker side of that (along with Whitney), Regan does make her seem very empowered, even almost admirable in the face of men like Masters.
Mrs. Jarvis, you mean. She's quite happily a married woman and I think she would insist on getting the title right.
I think a 3rd season that skipped a couple of years and started with SHIELD already being founded would be solid. I think it's clear they've hinted about that twice this year already. Perhaps then also add in more comic elements like Dugan as a regular and showcase some proto-Avenger concepts. Showcase the android Torch. Maybe experiment with Erskine's formula giving us one of those filler Captain America types, like The Patriot(a Golden Age character originally I think).
Just as Ant-Man showed us things we hadn't known I feel Agent Carter is doing that and still could if only it would survive.

The Arrowverse tends to stick with the pattern established by Buffy the Vampire Slayer of having one Big Bad per season. So presumably McDonough will be free for the 2016-17 season, assuming he doesn't get another series gig first.
Yes, she's deliberately based on Lamarr (with a dash of Lauren Bacall), and was even credited as the MCU's inventor of the same frequency-shifting communications technology that Lamarr invented in real life (and that's the basis of modern cellular communications, so if you're reading this on a mobile device right now, you have her to thank for it -- which is why it's a pity that most people today only know her name thanks to Mel Brooks and Harvey Korman).
I must have missed that
It was in the scene where Peggy learned that Whitney's real name was Agnes Cully.
For a minute there, I thought Dottie was going to inject herself with the zero matter.
Anachronism watch: I don't think anyone said "pushback" in those days.
Also another example of them carrying the humor a bit too far: The argument between Carter and Jarvis while Dottie is under the hair dryer, ending with Jarvis feigning death by poison. A bit much!
But the scene in the car when Peggy and Jarvis were discussing her love life going from feast to famine cracked me up. That's the kind of character humor that this show excels in.
Thomson is an interesting character. I still wonder which side he will fall on in the end, and I'm kind of rooting for him to do the right thing.
I also love how the good guys are completely unaffected by the color of Wilkes' skin, while Dottie tries to use it to manipulate him.
And things do seem about as bad as they can be for everybody at the moment, with Anna at death's door, Jarvis grieving, Peggy wounded, Sousa pummeled and fired, Wilkes kidnapped (and not yet cured). And Dottie is now even more dotty.
I really hope Anna doesn't die.

An Ngram viewer showed that pushback (all one word) first appeared in 1926.
Good double episode this week. Glad they didn't kill off Skip Reming. And now that Ken Marino is hanging around too, I'll imagine even more Adult Swim actors showing up as villains in season 3.
Also agree that Whitney is a great villain. Sad that there are only 3 more episodes.

'Nother double episode next week.
Hopefully as the season end looms closer, the recent bore factor will see a reduction.
It just plods on and on...
