I doubt he died. They showed him getting shot on the right side of his chest. Probably just punctured a lung or something.

Felt like the ending was a bit of a let-down. But I really liked the Peggy-Daniel shipping that went on! 
Kinda hope Jack does die; he's a pretty useless character now and his death would add some dramatic weight to the show.

Okay, that makes sense. That makes him 30 in the current show, which is ten years younger than I imagined him to be, so in his early 50s rather than early 60s when Tony is born.
Indeed. An educational game.
I'm sad to say I was pretty let down by the finale. After 9 episodes of build up our big ending was... Whitney walks into a set alone and gets shot with a cannon. The end. What happened to all the stuff with the Council? And after showing us how brilliant and smart Whitney is, she just walks into a trap like a deer in the headlights and doesn't even notice the massive gamma cannon sitting there in the middle of the court. (I know she was enthralled)
Maybe I'm forgetting something from a previous episode but I thought Peggy was all googley eyes for Jason now, yet he's finally made solid again and she promptly walks away from him. Also.... maybe I'm forgetting... but I thought Souza was getting married to Sleeping Beauty? Did they break up in an earlier episode? I remember she saw he had feelings for Peggy...

Okay, according to Wiki, the $64,000 question, the game show, didn't come around until 1955. There was a radio game show called Take it or Leave it that ran from 1940 to 1947, wherin the prize was $64. So "That's the $64 question!" was indeed a popular catch phrase in the 40s, but NOT "That's the $64,000 question."
She was interested in Jason at first, but then it began to come out that she and Daniel still had feelings for each other, and she was conflicted. The fact that Jason betrayed her and put a gun to her head probably didn't help his case; she may have forgiven him for it, but that's not exactly a good foundation for a lasting relationship.
Yeah, apparently his fiancee broke off the engagement.
I didn't catch that one--Which version did they use in the episode?
The $64 one, said by Souza. Of course, the "$64,000 Question" game show was named in honor of the original '40s catchphrase.
Another nicely obscure '40s reference: When Howard said Rose's perfume was driving him wild, she replied, "It's Rinso." That was a powdered laundry soap that was quite popular in the '40s and sponsored a lot of radio shows.
"Use a 7-iron." 
Did they use the right one? My brain must have filled in the "thousand". Never mind.
I just watched it and Sousa did use the correct one. I re-watched the part just to be sure, after reading your post about it here. I too am a bit dismayed and underwhelmed by the season, possible series finally. I get that Whitney was enthralled but couldn't they camouflaged things a bit better, at least try to make it look like it wasn't an obvious set up. Still didn't hurt my love overall for the show, I truly do hope it makes it another season.Did they use the right one? My brain must have filled in the "thousand". Never mind.
...of this season's arc. We know Peggy Carter has at least one more encounter with Zero Matter, as she boxes it up for the Agents of SHIELD to find in the future. We also know Whitney is still alive and still brilliant, but absolutely insane. We also know (or at least assume) that she takes on a certain persona in the future, which she didn't this season.
You mean the stuff that's clearly intended to be a major part of the next season (if it comes about)? You know, considering this very same episode showed them discovering a mysterious key relating to the Council, as well as the unanswered question as to why whatsherface was trying to steal one herself.
Then you know why she did it. Not sure how you're still confused by that.
Yes, you've forgotten things. But by all means, please continue to assume that's the shows fault. (???)
I don't know.... I was just assuming the ending was going to be a thousand Council bad guys fighting a three hundred SHIELD agents with sci-fi weapons in a vast land battle including flying people... and then Benedict Cumberbatch would appear through a portal as Doctor Strange to join the fight and stop the Zero Matter...
I quite enjoyed the episode, though I'd certainly agree that the final showdown was very anticlimactic. But Stark showed up, and the show was a laugh a minute, right from his first line.
If that was the finale, at least we have a good idea of who Peggy's husband is.
But boy, they sure left things hanging. There was far more set up here for a follow-up season than what we got at the end of season 1. Sad to see Jack go, I knew he'd turn out to be a good guy in the end. When I heard the knock at the door, I said out loud "oh no". As for the poster above who seems to think Jack may have survived, well, if this is the final episode of Agent Carter, then I declare Agent Jack Thompson to be Schrodinger's Cat.

As the reviewer on Tor.com pointed out, Jack was bleeding out pretty fast. Even if the hotel staff showed up moments later, and even if there happened to be a doctor in the house, he'd be lucky to survive.
Of course, this is television, not reality, so anything is possible.
I thought it was going to be Dottie, but I think they showed it wasn't her.
I was also wondering if Dottie's real name is Yelena Belova, but it's not important.
Also, chest wound in 1947 means death, no matter what side, I think, but it is the MCU, maybe Howard has something for that, too.
Sorry about the whining comment Old Mixer, but when you said "took me out of it" I thought you meant something else.

Heck, even if Jack is dead, this is Marvel. They have workarounds for that. It's not like he's Uncle Ben, after all.
No Agent Carter on On Demand yesterday, so I'm still waiting to see if I'm underwhelmed. I guess it's a case of Schrodinger's Underwhelmment.
On this show, that could be literally true.
One thing about wounds, even in real life, is that ya never know. Remember Cole Younger was shot 11 times at the Northfield raid, and recovered fully. Not to mention Peggy getting a rebar through her intestines and doing gymnastics a day later.
