I love the character and love that white dress she wore in that one S1 episode.
But overall it was pretty 'meh'.

It was ok. I honestly dont understand why people like her so much or the show. I also dont really find her that attractive, character or actress. Each to their own though

Personally, I do. I like her. I really enjoyed the first season of Agent Carter. I didn't get around to the second, but I like love stories that transcend time and space. Couples that are brought back together by the universe and always find each other. Captain America and Peggy are like that. Fry and Leela, Homer and Marge. Even couples like Bonnie and Clyde, couples that need nothing if they have each other.
Yeah. I like her. And the show.

She's mine too. Agent Peggy Carter is the perfect woman, as she's got it all - brains, beauty and badassedness. Hayley Atwell plays her to perfection and Peggy is not only my favourite female character in the entire MCU, but also my favourite female TV/movie character of all. Ideally I would've liked to have the option to choose three separate answers: The emphatic "Yes!" (because duh). The "She deserved so much better" option (because she did indeed deserve better than only two seasons of her show - it should've run for several seasons). And the "I know my value." option because that was an iconic quote from her in the series that summed up her character nicely and is part of why I love her. Anyway, I went with the first one. It was ok. I honestly dont understand why people like her so much or the show. I also dont really find her that attractive, character or actress.

I love the character in First Avenger and find Miss Atwell very attractive—but I watched the first episode and couldn’t warm up to it. I’ve been told it gets better and am going to watch some more—at some point. I’m also amused by the fact that one of my songwriting nemeses (not that he knows it or would care), David Zippel, Mr. King-of-Stuffing-a-Lyric-with-Trick-Rhymes-Yet-Going-Bland-for-a-Serious-Song, wrote a lyric for one episode.

Hayley Atwell has a classic 50s, stacked figure.

I liked it. I said this before, but of all the pre-Disney+ TV shows that I've seen, Agent Carter, has the greatest continuity with the MCU. Though being set in the past before they thought of Steve Rogers time lordin' it back to Peggy's amble bosom makes it easier. One thing that does gripe me is the actor playing young Howard Stark, Dominic Cooper, looks and behaves nothing like the older one played by John Slattery.

Since I recently rewatched Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), it seemed only natural to go straight into Season 1 of Agent Carter (which I bought on Blu-ray ages ago, after having watched both seasons of the show on TV when it originally aired, but hadn't gotten around to actually viewing until now). Season 1, Episode 1: 'Now Is Not the End'. {Spoiler}I liked that they included Peggy & Steve's goodbye scene at the start of the first episode (though not all of it, as they saved the last part of it for towards the end of the episode, where we also get to see her pull out that old photo of Skinny Steve, which shows she's never forgotten him as he originally was). It then cuts to Peggy, who was having a memory/flashback, and she's sharing an apartment with a roommate named Colleen who, although we barely get to know her, it soon becomes clear she's a good friend to Peggy, recognises how great she is and is encouraging her to possibly get back in the dating game. Unfortunately, she's currently sick and knows nothing about Peggy's morning routine which I thought kind of bears somewhat of a resemblance to the opening credits for Dexter in that we see Peggy going about the mundane chores of getting ready in the morning, but it's intercut with various action sequences from the movie (and also from that 'One-Shot' she did), thus showing the contrast of Peggy's two lives - ie. the 'normal' one and the secret one she has. On top of everything else, she also has killer fashion sense with her Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? getup, we're introduced to Rose (a character who will feature more prominently later into the series), who even comments on/compliments Peggy's style (especially the hat), and it's quickly established that Peggy's stuck in an unfulfilling job where she's underestimated, underappreciated, dismissed/given secretary work that she's well and truly overqualified for and has to deal with the day-to-day sexism that comes with being a woman in the workplace at that time. Characters we're introduced to at her work include her boss, Roger Dooley (played by Shea Whigham, who I hadn't really seen in that much before I originally watched this show, but since then I've seen him in quite a bit of stuff and the last series I watched that he starred in was Boardwalk Empire), Jack Thompson (played by Chad Michael Murray, who I've seen in a few things but the last time I saw him he was playing a crazy cult leader who dressed in Evel Knievel getup, and like the leader of the Movementarians from The Simpsons, he'd planned to get away in his spaceship...or, to be exact, a rocket ship - yes, really - in the series Riverdale) and Daniel Sousa (played by Enver Gjokaj, who luckily was allowed to get some closure for his character thanks to the final season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. but I'll always remember being introduced to him in Joss Whedon's series Dollhouse, where he was able to show what range he's capable of as an actor). There's also another agent by the name of Ray Krzeminski, who is the typical misogynistic type. All the agents are varying degrees of dismissive and rude to Peggy...except for Sousa, who's the one really decent guy at work (who knows what it's like to not be treated with respect, since he has been crippled during the war) and stands up for her when Krzeminski makes one of his lewd comments. I appreciated that while Peggy asked Sousa to refrain from leaping to her defense like that in the future, she wasn't rude about it and said that she appreciated it...but I could see it from her perspective in that whilst Sousa thought he was helping, he was also kind of reinforcing her male co-workers' beliefs that she's nothing without a man to 'rescue' her. She wasn't bitchy about it, and that's what matters. He himself didn't seem offended by what she said either, so it's clear that she was being as decent/polite as possible. I was glad they managed to get Dominic Cooper to reappear (as a 'special guest star') in his role as Howard Stark from the movie. I'm also amazed by how much I prefer Howard to his future offspring, Tony, despite the fact that he has a lot of traits Tony will inherit. He's got a smugness, he cracks jokes, and is obviously a ladies man...and yet, he somehow manages to annoy me FAR LESS than Tony. Anyway, I liked getting to see more of the Peggy/Howard relationship (with some footage from the movie of their whole 'fondue' conversation in the plane) and how she trusted him (knowing he wasn't the traitor the news was claiming him to be by saying that he'd been selling his weapons he created to the enemy) as much as he trusted her (knowing she'd be the only one who could clear his name). I'd forgotten that Edwin Jarvis, Howard's butler (who Tony will name his A.I. in his suit after), was introduced to Peggy in a very Peggy Carter-esque way - ie. her socking him in the face as he approached her in a dark alley very mysteriously and like he meant trouble (which not only teaches him a lesson about doing such things, but lets him know exactly what kind of woman she is right off the bat). James D'Arcy is excellent in the role as Jarvis, forming easy chemistry with Hayley Atwell/Peggy in no time. They have a fun dynamic and his devotion to his wife makes for some amusing moments later in the episode when he's trying to juggle his home life with helping out Peggy who's stuck in a dangerous situation. Speaking of, you can't watch this first episode of the show and NOT acknowledge a certain gold dress which Peggy dons, along with a blonde wig, as part of her disguise to get access to a man (who she knocks out with special lipstick after he subjects her to an unsolicited snog) in possession of one of Howard's gizmos that she has to keep out of the enemy's hands. It goes without saying that Hayley Atwell's figure is utter perfection as evidenced by how stunning she looks in said dress. It was also great seeing her put a stapler to effective use in her fight with a bad guy. However, anyone who accuses Peggy Carter of being 'too perfect' should note that the bad guy not only manages to get away (after he miraculously survives her kicking him out a window and a decent drop below), but he also tracks her down at home and sadly offs Colleen - which I thought was a necessary moment in the episode, to show that Peggy indeed can't 'win them all' and there are consequences (albeit unintentional ones) to being friends/close with her. As is to be expected, Hayley Atwell totally sells Peggy's grief over the loss of her friend and it shows that even though she puts on a brave face in front of others, she does have a softer side and can be emotionally vulnerable at times. She's not some cold, emotionless 'tough chick', but is actually very human and has just as many feelings as everyone else. Anyway, she manages to enlist Jarvis in helping her track down the gizmo, where she encounters James Frain who James Frains away (with added voice synthesizer to make him extra creepy/evil on top of his natural creepy evilness that comes with being James Frain), and I enjoyed the banter between Peggy/Jarvis as she tells him to bring the car around and he's not fully aware of what's going on...that is until she leaps onto the car's roof before climbing inside (whilst it's still moving) and the building behind them not only explodes, but vaporizes itself as a result of the exploded gizmos (which James Frain had a whole truck load of). This was another great action sequence (which the show had managed to include several of) and lets the audience know there'll be action aplenty in this series. Then there's also 'quieter' scenes, like where Jarvis comforts Peggy (offering her a handkerchief) in the diner, which seems to be their regular meeting place for discussing their secret business. It's also the place where we're introduced to Lyndsy Fonseca as Angie Martinelli, a waitress who's another friend of Peggy's and dreams of becoming an actress...but instead has to deal with condescending jerk customers who slap her on the arse - which Peggy is having NONE of, and politely threatens the guy's brachial artery with a fork, making clear to him in no uncertain terms that he's to find somewhere else to eat and also tip Angie handsomely before leaving. I liked the friendship between Peggy and Angie (hoping that she wouldn't wind up in the same boat as poor Colleen did). The episode ends with Jarvis communicating with Howard and the suggestion things may not be as they seem with them enlisting Peggy's help. This was a great start to the series and it showed that Agent Peggy Carter/Hayley Atwell was just THAT awesome that she managed to score her own (well-deserved) series. It's gonna be fun rewatching this show (though I think I'm going to try to avoid rewatching it too quickly, since there's only 8 episodes in this first season - the second season was extended to 10 - which is far too small an amount of episodes, but that's why I have to make them last).

Season 1, Episode 2: 'Bridge and Tunnel'. {Spoiler}The episode begins with the 'Captain America Adventure Program' playing over the radio, 'The Star-Spangled Man With A Plan' tune playing in the background as rather cringey performances are given by the radio actors playing the roles - though it's obviously supposed to be like that. Peggy Carter's character has been renamed Betty Carver and the worst insult of all...she's presented as a 'damsel in distress' type that the real Peggy Carter is the antithesis of. I was mildly amused by seeing the various objects they used to create the sound effects, but other than that I was feeling bad for Peggy that this is what they'd reduced her to, clearly not actually having done any fact-checking or research. Anyway, actual Peggy is looking for a place to stay after she lost her roommate last episode and Angie's super-eager for them to become neighbours...but obviously Peggy's reluctant to live close to anyone she's friends with/cares about given how badly that went for her former roommate. Her resistance to Angie's invitations result in her misconstruing that Peggy has a problem with her...but to Angie's credit, she doesn't suddenly turn bitchy or anything, which was a relief. Plus, by the end of the episode Peggy's accepted Angie's invitation and agrees to stay at the Griffith Hotel, which is for women and has a landlady in charge who's a stickler for the rules including no men above the first floor. When she's not looking for somewhere to stay, Peggy's attempting to get a hold of a file Sousa has with photos of 'the blonde' from last episode (ie. Peggy herself) and one minute he's seeing no sign of her at her desk whilst on the phone to someone who wants her, then the next she's suddenly there (after having hidden under his desk and been picking the lock of the drawer where he keeps the file). It's possible Peggy possesses teleportation powers. Turns out I was wrong about the building which exploded last episode having 'vaporized' itself, as this episode we learn that it has in fact compacted down into a big ball o' bricks and mortar (like the whole building was stuck in a giant trash compactor) and the guys Peggy works with are investigating it (she tries her best to listen into what they know thus far by using her job that she's relegated to - ie. bringing in coffee - as an excuse to eavesdrop, though unfortunately they cotton onto this and don't want her listening in). Determined to do more investigating, she dons another disguise/adopts another accent as a health inspector and I'm sure Hayley Atwell had fun with these different undercover roles that Peggy plays. Towards the end of the episode, it looks like the men at her work may have found the file with the photo of her as the blonde, but that's not the case (she was smart enough to keep her head turned/unseen in most instances). At one point there's a fight scene with Peggy vs Buzz from the Home Alone films and it's intercut with the 'Captain America Adventure Program' where what's happening in that vaguely mirrors the situation the real Peggy has found herself in...except Peggy, unlike 'Betty Carver', kicks serious arse. He's then tied up to a chair and Jarvis is tending to a wound she's sustained. I'm a little foggy on remembering the details and order in which things occurred, but I recall that he gives her a speech about accepting help from others, since it seems to him like she's determined to do what she does alone and this is one of Peggy's 'flaws' - that she thinks she can handle anything thrown at her/has trouble asking others for help (plus the fact that she doesn't wish to endanger anyone else like her poor roommate). There's a part where she mentions how Steve was basically perfect and didn't need anyone, but then Jarvis says that Howard told him Steve relied on Peggy - thus proving everyone, no matter how kick-arse they may be, needs someone to rely on/help them. Buzz manages to escape, Peggy & Jarvis go after him, then Dooley and Krzeminski catch up with him slowly getting away (still tied to the chair) while Peggy and Jarvis are pursuing a bad guy and she's fighting atop a moving vehicle and it's all very exciting. At the end of the episode, Krzeminski finds the car's license plate in the big ball of building which it would appear puts him one step closer to finding out Peggy was at the building pre-implosion. It also should be noted that Ray Wise guest-starred in this episode as a guy who made the mistake of calling Peggy 'Darling'...but on the plus side, it led to one of her iconic lines from this series where she's asked her name and the answer she gives is 'Agent' (that's why I always make a point of using her full name - Agent Peggy Carter - whenever there are any threads asking for favourite MCU characters, etc. That 'Agent' is a very important part and must not be forgotten). All in all, this was a pretty decent second episode of the show that, whilst maybe not quite up to the same level as the first episode, was still a good deal better than a lot of second episodes in shows that I've watched (which are more often than not disappointments after really great first episodes). You should come on my podcast review of the 3rd and 4th episodes of season 1 😊 you seem to enjoy agent Carter and Jeff said I should get more episodes out of my podcast. DM me if you're interested! Thank you for the invitation. I appreciate it but I'm afraid I just wouldn't be up to the task of participating in a podcast. I don't really listen to/watch any either. It's just a thing I haven't the time for and I only type up my reviews when I have a bit of free time (which isn't all too often these days, as I have so much family stuff going on that I have to take care of). I just think it would be too much pressure for me to participate. So, thank you again....but I sadly must decline.

Season 1, Episode 3: 'Time and Tide'. {Spoiler}The episode begins with a seemingly Pervy McPerve watching Peggy through her window from down on the street as she’s getting ready for bed. When she looks out her window, she finds a guy by the name of Jimmy climbing the wall and it turns out he’s there to see one of the other girls who's staying at the Griffith Hotel. Peggy directs him to where the one he wants to meet up with for sexytimes is...then she shuts the window on him. Next morning, all the girls are at breakfast and it sounds like Jimmy did eventually follow through on what he was there to do, but the hotel's strict landlady gives a speech about how Houdini could escape all manner of things but could not ascend above the first floor - which is just her long-winded way of booting out the girl Jimmy was there to hook up with, since the #1 rule (as stated last episode) is that no men are allowed above the first floor. At the SSR (which stands for Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy's co-workers have a dead James Frain from last episode on their hands (who apparently had his voicebox cut out, hence the scar on his neck and need for a voice synthesizer), the typewriter (which types back!) - that I forgot to mention the other bad guy used in the two previous episodes - and the license plate from Peggy & Jarvis' getaway car that got sucked into the building implosion at the end of the first episode. They eventually link the license plate to Jarvis, Sousa and Thompson go to pay him a visit, but Peggy's already there and has to hide from them as they question Jarvis and then bring him in for further questioning/interrogation by Thompson, who is at his most jerky with his line of questioning, even putting on a mocking fake British accent, then he makes the mistake of bringing up the name of Jarvis' wife, Anna, and threatening her with deportation, saying it'll be Jarvis' fault if that happens since he's refusing to turn on Howard Stark (who is the one they think is responsible for everything going on). As expected, this royally pisses Jarvis off and it's revealed that he was dishonourably discharged. Peggy then sacrifices all the hard work she's put in with trying to show her male colleagues that she's a competent worker by purposely screwing up the interrogation, which leads to Jarvis being set free and Dooley tearing Peggy a new one for messing up Thompson's 'exemplary' work. This illustrates just how self-sacrificing Peggy is - the fact that she's willing to lose all the headway she's made with her co-workers and them slowly coming to respect her. Now that's all out the window and everyone's glaring at her, she's forced to apologise to Thompson (who tells her that's not nearly enough) and it's clear this isn't something that Peggy just lets roll off her shoulder. She's obviously affected by her reputation more or less being flushed down the toilet in the eyes of everyone she works with. Poor Peggy. As Peggy's getting ready to go to bed, Angie walks right in, makes herself at home on Peggy's bed and is eager to discuss the days they've had, but considering how miserable Peggy's day has been, she just wants to sleep. She does say it in the nicest way she can, but Angie takes it the wrong way and gets all pissy about it. As she's about to leave, strict landlady introduces both of them to Dottie Underwood (played by Bridget Regan - who I personally hadn't really seen in anything when I originally watched this show, but I'd heard of her through comments from others online who seemed to be a fan of hers from a show she starred in called Legend of the Seeker), who's going to be staying at the hotel. She's overly chipper and friendly...which should immediately raise suspicions (plus, her stating rather obviously that Peggy's British after hearing her speak), but Angie's still pissed at Peggy and makes some thinly-veiled insults towards her before walking off, whilst Peggy says Dottie will enjoy it there...then promptly closes her door. So, overall, not the best first impressions ever. As only Agent Carter can do, it has a scene of exposition take place whilst Peggy and Jarvis are venturing into a sewer through a huge hole in the floor of Howard Stark's vault (where his gizmos were stolen from). At first she says she doesn't need to know what Jarvis' story is...but then eventually says the opposite (since they need to be able to trust each other). Turns out Jarvis met his wife (who Peggy clarifies was Jewish, which Jarvis confirms she still is - thus reminding me of Willow's line from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Hello? Still Jewish.") in Budapest whilst he was in the military, he stole papers that'd ensure her safe transport out of the country, was consequently charged with treason and Howard managed to reduce it to a dishonourable discharge - hence why Jarvis is so loyal to Howard. It's a good scene between the two, and I'm enjoying their dynamic as they learn more about each other. They eventually find a contraption that’s got a green glowy light to it and apparently will constrict muscles/break bones of anyone it zaps. Peggy wants to call it in, but Jarvis points out she'd have to explain how she discovered it. He then questions her like she would be questioned by her co-workers, she attempts to come up with answers but it all leads to what her relationship with Howard is. Begrudgingly, she agrees to let Jarvis call it in, making sure Sousa is the one to get the credit, which she says she "can almost stomach", whereas she doesn't want it to be Krzeminski, who's not only a jerk to her, but Sousa as well - as evidenced by the crack he makes at one point about how Peggy wouldn't be willing to 'trade in a red, white and blue shield for an aluminum crutch' (clearly he has no problem taking a dig at people crippled in the war) when he figures out that Sousa has a thing for Peggy (although he's not willing to admit it yet). Anyway, this leads to an amusing scene with Jarvis calling in an anonymous tip to Sousa...and using an obviously fake Brooklyn accent (so they don't recognise his voice) and words that he thinks make him sound more American. Whilst Jarvis is making his phone call, Peggy's assaulted by some goon who she's able to do a decent job of fighting off until he eventually gets the better of her, but luckily Jarvis returns in time to help out...that is until he winds up getting choked by the goon and Peggy uses the contraption they found to zap him (it delivers on what was described it does - ie. we hear the breaking of bones), his arm's rendered immobile and she whacks him with a pipe, knocking him out. They hear the SSR arriving, Peggy doesn't want to leave this witness, but Jarvis makes her go. Sousa and Krzeminski get a hold of the goon, I'm a little hazy on what leads to just Krzeminski transporting the goon alone, but he is informed there was a British woman who could hold her own, then before the goon can tell him more, they're stopped at train tracks and the occupant of the car behind them gets out, shoots Krzeminski dead and does the same to the goon. The following morning, Peggy arrives at work completely oblivious to what's transpired, but Rose soon informs her something bad has happened, she sees everyone's reactions and Dooley still thinks this is all Howard's fault, he wants everyone working to get the ones responsible and says he's got to call Krzeminski's wife while Thompson calls Krzeminski's girlfriend (Peggy made a crack about this earlier in the episode when Krzeminski was making his usual jerky comments towards her, but what once was used in a humourous way is effectively used in a more serious manner this time around). Obviously this affects Peggy, as she no doubt feels guilty about bringing Sousa and Krzeminski into a situation that led to Krzeminski's death, whereas if she'd handled it herself (which she wanted to do, but Jarvis advised her against it), she probably could've taken care of the assassin. So, all in all, things have been pretty shitty for Peggy lately and she goes to the diner, where Angie clearly knows how to hold a grudge, but Peggy's now more than willing to unload/talk about her day and Angie's happy to listen. Peggy mentions how a colleague died, lists all the reasons why she shouldn't be so broken up over the loss of him, but admits that she is. Angie being Angie, she manages to steer things towards herself and a story she has about her cousin dying on the job...by getting hit by a bus, but it's clear that they make up thanks to a guy in the diner demanding a refill and them bonding over their annoyance with him. Ah, jerks - bringing friends who are at odds back together. I thought that this episode, whilst perhaps not having as much 'action' as the two previous episodes, gave us some really good character stuff. There's, of course, the Peggy/Jarvis relationship, but also the people Peggy works with. They're not just a bunch of jerks, but have layers and even Krzeminski (who was most certainly a jerk) was treated as a real human bean being, his death *matters* and it show's things aren't so black/white. Well done, show. Keep it up!

Season 1, Episode 3: 'Time and Tide'. {Spoiler}The episode begins with a seemingly Pervy McPerve watching Peggy through her window from down on the street as she’s getting ready for bed. When she looks out her window, she finds a guy by the name of Jimmy climbing the wall and it turns out he’s there to see one of the other girls who's staying at the Griffith Hotel. Peggy directs him to where the one he wants to meet up with for sexytimes is...then she shuts the window on him. Next morning, all the girls are at breakfast and it sounds like Jimmy did eventually follow through on what he was there to do, but the hotel's strict landlady gives a speech about how Houdini could escape all manner of things but could not ascend above the first floor - which is just her long-winded way of booting out the girl Jimmy was there to hook up with, since the #1 rule (as stated last episode) is that no men are allowed above the first floor. At the SSR (which stands for Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy's co-workers have a dead James Frain from last episode on their hands (who apparently had his voicebox cut out, hence the scar on his neck and need for a voice synthesizer), the typewriter (which types back!) - that I forgot to mention the other bad guy used in the two previous episodes - and the license plate from Peggy & Jarvis' getaway car that got sucked into the building implosion at the end of the first episode. They eventually link the license plate to Jarvis, Sousa and Thompson go to pay him a visit, but Peggy's already there and has to hide from them as they question him and then bring him in for further questioning/interrogation by Thompson, who is at his most jerky with his line of questioning Jarvis, even putting on a mocking fake British accent, then he makes the mistake of bringing up the name of Jarvis' wife, Anna, and threatening her with deportation, saying it'll be Jarvis' fault if that happens since he's refusing to turn on Howard Stark (who is the one they think is responsible for everything going on). As expected, this royally pisses Jarvis off and it's revealed that he was dishonourably discharged. Peggy then sacrifices all the hard work she's put in with trying to show her male colleagues that she's a competent worker by purposely screwing up the interrogation, which leads to Jarvis being set free and Dooley tearing Peggy a new one for messing up Thompson's 'exemplary' work. This illustrates just how self-sacrificing Peggy is - the fact that she's willing to lose all the headway she's made with her co-workers and them slowly coming to respect her. Now that's all out the window and everyone's glaring at her, she's forced to apologise to Thompson (who tells her that's not nearly enough) and it's clear this isn't something that Peggy just lets roll off her shoulder. She's clearly affected by her reputation more or less being flushed down the toilet in the eyes of everyone she works with. Poor Peggy. As Peggy's getting ready to go to bed, Angie walks right in, makes herself at home on Peggy's bed and is eager to discuss the days they've had, but considering how miserable Peggy's day has been, she just wants to sleep. She does say it in the nicest way she can, but Angie takes it the wrong way and gets all pissy about it.

Season 1, Episode 4: 'The Blitzkrieg Button'. {Spoiler}This episode starts with Jarvis meeting some guys in a very cloak and dagger-y way. Meanwhile, the rest are getting their arses kicked by Peggy (there's a very cool bit with her silhouette that's like a classic hero sort of thing), Jarvis activates a suitcase which blows green smoke at the guys and it was a pretty neat opening scene. They eventually meet up with Howard Stark (I think the show did a good job of spreading out Dominic Cooper's guest appearances in the season, as it's only been two episodes since the first episode, which he was in, and it doesn't feel like he's been gone too long). There's an amusing part where he clocks one guy behind Peggy using a ball from the pool table, then next thing he's hiding in the back seat of the car Peggy's driving and she reluctantly takes him to the Griffith Hotel (where he's familiar with several of the ladies staying there, apparently) to hide him. I was amused by the whole bit with the dumbwaiter, Howard's fear of closed/tight spaces and Peggy's line, "Don't worry, I'll never reveal that Howard Stark's dead body is lying rotting at the bottom of a dumbwaiter shaft." when she forced him into it. That's when strict landlady appears and she gives Peggy a big speech, apparently wanting to protect her 'virtue' or whatever, Peggy plays along, she opens the dumbwaiter and there's a bag in there which she retrieves, then when she goes looking for Howard, he's already getting with one of the girls living at the hotel and Peggy's exasperation with his man-whore-ish self is amusing too. Once she's gotten him in her room, there's another amusing moment involving Howard giving Peggy a camera pen...which she's not overly impressed with (much to Howard's annoyance/disappointment) and an even funnier scene later on when she's told to go do the lunch orders at work by Thompson (who's been put in charge whilst Dooley goes off to question a Nazi about the dead Russian bad guys from the previous episodes), and Peggy's talking to one of the scientist dudes as she secretly takes plenty of photos of what they're working on using Howard's camera pen (there's even a bit that reminded me of the Q scene in the James Bond movie GoldenEye, where Q's devices were being tested out with the hazardous results...but in this case, the scientist guys catch on fire - not once, but twice). Peggy and Howard check out the photographs on the camera pen in a dark room (which also included some photos of what Howard gets up to with the many women he's involved with, which Peggy didn't need to see), he says he wants her to get back one of his gizmos that was stolen but won't offer up much useful information about it, and then he gives her a decoy to swap with the real thing - which she does successfully, but she also looks inside the device which ends up containing a vial of blood. When she goes to confront Howard about it, she catches him with a girl again, pulls him away and asks several times what's in the vial. He says she already knows and then confesses to it being Steve Rogers' blood...which leads to his face meeting Peggy's fist. She's obviously mad (and with good cause!) that he's been lying to her, using her and keeping this piece of Steve from her, then he makes a further mistake by saying the reason he didn't tell her about it was because she wouldn't be able to handle it 'emotionally' - which she rightly tells him off for, then gives an impassioned speech about Steve, how she isn't as 'good' as him and how Howard's always only out for himself/to make money. Hayley Atwell did a great job selling Peggy's anger and how betrayed she felt by Howard in this scene. I was probably supposed to feel sorry for Howard being torn a new one by Peggy, and after he gives a speech of his own about climbing up the 'American ladder' and what he had to do to get where he is...but I really didn't. I was just cheering Peggy on the whole way through. Of course, it's not just Howard she's been betrayed by, as Jarvis knew about it too and he'd been clearly lying to her throughout the episode (as she caught onto his rather obvious 'tell' - him rubbing his ear, which he did several times). There's not too much Jarvis in this episode, but what we *do* get of him leads to this fracture in the Peggy/Jarvis relationship, which had been going along fairly well until this point. Understandably, she's not happy with him either (though he doesn't get the full force of her wrath like Howard did), and for what it's worth, Jarvis feels horrible about the part he played, expresses as much to Howard as he's getting a shoe-shining done, and then Stan Lee makes a cameo as a guy sitting beside Howard after Jarvis says how much this has hurt him (lying to Peggy/betraying her trust). Near the end of the episode, Peggy bashes a hole in her wall, hides Steve's blood in there, then covers the hole with a picture frame. As for Dooley and the Nazi he visited (played by an actor I'm quite familiar with by the name of Jack Conley, who I've seen in a lot of things but I mainly remember for his being reused in the Buffyverse), he basically offered the guy a cyanide pill if he gave him the information he wanted, saying it'd be 'painless' compared to the hanging that he was scheduled for. The Nazi accepted this deal, gave up the info and then we saw that the pills were actually breath mints, as Dooley offered one to a guy and said as much (so, the Nazi was apparently ignorant of what cyanide pills actually look like and that such things would be 'painless'). Meanwhile, Sousa was still looking into that anonymous tip Jarvis called in last episode (with his obviously fake Brooklyn accent), trying to find someone who saw the caller. He comes across some bums who are ex-army guys, one he pays and gets useless information from, while the other isn't willing to talk at all, so Sousa brings him in for further questioning, Thompson (who made a big speech earlier about Krzeminski's middle name and what the most important part of his name was - ie. 'Agent' - and then used that to supposedly 'motivate' the rest of the agents, but it just came across to me as rather lame. He's certainly no Dooley) sarcastically applauds Sousa, remarking on his skills at bringing in 'Howard Stark' - who he comments on the appearance of...when it's clearly not Howard, then Sousa gives the guy a speech about how when he came back from the war, people applauded him but not another guy who also returned, which made him realise they were applauding because they felt guilty about him getting wounded/his crutch. This has no effect on the dude, so then Thompson takes a different approach, coming in with booze and a burger (which he proceeds to drink and eat), offering them in exchange for information - which leads to him getting a vague description of a dark-haired woman and fancy-dressed guy. Thompson then makes a comment to Sousa about not everyone needing a hug, and this isn't his only jerky behaviour this episode. He's also clearly let being put in charge go to his head, as he's barking orders at Peggy about lunch orders and telling her 'truths' about how no man will ever consider her an equal. There's the briefest of moments where he seems to feel some sympathy for her, but it's not exactly making him any more likeable. Disappointingly, Angie's relegated to an almost-nothing appearance, simply advising Peggy on how to conceal food they nick from the hotel (which she was doing for Howard when she was keeping him hidden). New arrival, Dottie, also seems to barely feature, but then near the end of the episode a bad guy (who kills his minions with an automatic pistol) breaks into the place and is going to go after Peggy & Howard...that is until Dottie sees his fancy gun, expresses a need to 'have' it, then promptly pulls some Black Widow-esque moves, swiftly killing him and later admires herself in a mirror, holding her newly-acquired weapon whilst the dead guy is on the floor. It's our first look at the type of person Dottie really is (which should've shut up all those who whined about the only bad guys in the show being 'men'...oh, who am I kidding? Those whiners would've never shut up with their complaining about this show) and promises interesting things to come from her character. This episode had some really good character stuff in it, some neat action, and some interesting story developments...it's just a shame characters such as Jarvis and Angie had to have their screentime reduced to make room for Howard and the multiple other characters who were just in this one episode. Still, it was another excellent episode of the show and I liked getting to see more of the Peggy/Howard dynamic. Hi, you are perfectly fine! I loved reading your replies! Enjoy Thanks. It's nice to know someone's reading my episodes reviews of the show.

Season 1, Episode 5: 'The Iron Ceiling'. {Spoiler}There was no "I'm Peggy Carter" summary at the start of this episode like the previous two had, but rather just the usual 'Previously on...' that most shows do. I can't say I was as into this episode as I was with the previous four episodes, and I think a large part of that had to do with Thompson being given more focus and the Peggy/Jarvis relationship taking a backseat. I don't hate CMM as Thompson...but I don't find him particularly interesting either, even with the added character development he got this episode (ie. he killed a bunch of Japanese soldiers walking towards his camp before noticing they were carrying a white flag to surrender and he buried the flag before anyone from his camp saw it). Despite all his bravado, he froze up when there was a shootout whilst Peggy managed to snap him out of it and got him to hold it together long enough for them to escape. When it came to reporting back to Dooley (they'd found an engineer and his psychiatrist who informed them 'Leviathan' wanted the engineer to build a weapon that only he could), Thompson acknowledged Peggy getting the job done, but she made sure Thompson got credit too despite his freezing up, then Dooley actually praised her for a change. Peggy/Thompson had a 'moment' back on the plane (thankfully not a 'romantic' one...because bleh! Who'd want to see that? She's WAY too good for him!) where she seemed to see him in a new light, and I think going forward it won't be how it has been so far between them (even at the start of this episode, he was totally against Peggy going with him and other agents - Dooley was too at first, but then she proved herself by deciphering Russian code). Hopefully now Thompson nor Dooley will be so dismissive towards Peggy since she's more than proven herself to both of them. Despite the return of the Howling Commandos (where I'm pretty sure each member was recast except for the leader, Dum-Dum Dugan - which is still the DUMBEST NAME EVER - played by Neal McDonough), and there being plenty of shooting going on, I was not that into their storyline. I did like that they're fond of Peggy/know how awesome she is, and Hayley Atwell had nice chemistry with Neal McDonough. There was also some fun banter between their characters (the other Howling Commandos just seemed to be cannon fodder and their attempts at 'humour' fell pretty flat for me), but this marks the only time Peggy did something I disliked, which happened when they stumbled across an obviously fake-crying girl, Dugan stupidly approached her and knelt down in front of her, falling for her innocent act of pretending she was interested in his bowler hat (despite him wearing it all this time, he's never found out the origin of its name), only for her to stab him and then shoot one of the other Howling Commandos in the neck, killing him, before escaping down a hole. Dugan was gonna toss a grenade in after her, but Peggy stopped him, claiming she was just a little girl. Er... no, Peggy, she's a child assassin and just murdered one of your supposed buddies...she didn't deserve any leniency. It always bugs me when kids in shows get away with all sorts of shit. If you're old enough to murder someone, then you're old enough to suffer the consequences of your actions. At least I got a laugh out of Peggy describing Howard as an 'utter wanker', but it still didn't make up for the lack of Peggy/Jarvis - which, to be fair, is partly due to Peggy continuing to be on the outs with Jarvis after his betrayal last episode, but what little we *did* get of them was still pretty good. She got some digs in about him being Howard's servant and he gave as good as she got, pointing out how her co-workers see her (which, as I said, hopefully will now change). It's sad to see their friendship fractured after it only just started, but obviously they will work it out between them eventually. Sousa didn't get to do much this episode either besides noticing two spots on the back of Peggy's bare shoulder (which he did, unintentionally, thanks to Thompson being his usual jackass self at the start of the episode and tricking Sousa into walking in on Peggy as she was getting changed in the locker room. I was amused by her exclaiming "Bloody Nora!"), then managing to get access to her medical history or whatever and seeing she'd sustained two bullet wounds which he matched to two identical spots on the photo of 'the blonde' (whose hair he'd coloured dark with a pen last episode). So, now it would appear he's onto Peggy. As for the lack of Angie this episode, that was explained by Dottie towards the beginning... Speaking of Dottie, us getting some backstory on her (turns out she was a Black Widow-in-training) was probably the most interesting part of the episode. Back in 1937 in Russia, her kid self and others like her were trained hard and handcuffed to their beds, but she found a friend to share her bit of food with...though apparently 'friendship' didn't get in the way of her doing what she was trained to do, as she snapped the neck of her new 'friend' without hesitation (and good on the show for not shying away from the fact Black Widows were kids who killed other kids - it was a pretty surprising moment when it happened, but was necessary to show their ruthlessness). She spends time with Peggy at the diner at the beginning of the episode, purposely knocking her bag to the floor so she can steal Peggy's room key, then later lets herself in, snoops around, finds some stuff (like Peggy's photo of Skinny Steve), sits in front of the mirror and imitates Peggy's voice/British accent whilst saying "I'm Peggy Carter.", then it looks like she's going to try Peggy's lipstick, but instead she sniffs it and apparently can tell it's used for knocking people out (as we've seen Peggy use it for previously). She eventually leaves and replaces the thread on the lock which fell when she opened the door - which no one but Peggy or a Black Widow like Dottie would've noticed. Clearly, Peggy's met her match.

Season 1, Episode 6: 'A Sin to Err'. {Spoiler}I can't recall exactly where this episode started at (stupid dodgy memory!), but I remember that Peggy teamed up with Jarvis to track down all of Howard's conquests (starting with the Western hemisphere) in the hope of finding whoever had handcuff marks on their wrist, since Peggy worked out that he'd been with the one who was the 'Leviathan' agent (ie. Dottie - not that Peggy knew at this stage that it was Dottie, of course). Peggy makes it clear to Jarvis that she still hasn't forgiven him for his lying/betrayal, but she's still wishing to clear Howard's name...plus, there's the added bonus for her of seeing Jarvis get slapped by each one of the women Howard dumped through proxy (turns out that proxy was Jarvis). Peggy admits to it being 'fun', though she does try to stop one of the women from slapping him...but then she just kicks him in the leg instead. I took this scene to be Jarvis' 'penance' for wronging Peggy, which he's willing to suffer through (to a point) in an effort to help her and prove that he's still her ally. At the diner, Angie's reciting lines and a customer applauds, Peggy compliments her performance, Angie says her father wants her to go to secretary school, Peggy encourages her not to give up on her dream of becoming an actress, but Angie says she's been told she's the worst audition ever...and she's had plenty of them. Due to the SSR having discovered Peggy's been acting as a double agent with them, they've dispatched agents to the diner - which everyone clears out of except the agents, Peggy and Jarvis (who exchange a few words as they prepare for battle), then ensues a great fight scene with a surprising choice of music that plays throughout (but that just makes it all the more effective/fun). Peggy shows just how much arse she can kick. Jarvis helps, hitting one or two agents with a bottle and a tray, but it's Peggy who cleans their clocks...and it's glorious. Unfortunately, when she and Jarvis flee out the back of the diner, Thompson's there, waiting with a gun pointed at Peggy. She says she can explain, but he's having none of it...so she promptly knocks him out (I'm sure at least a part of her found that cathartic despite her apology to him). And then it's Sousa's turn to try the same thing - though in a slightly less aggressive manner than Thompson did, but clearly Peggy's 'betrayal' hurts him a lot more since he counted Peggy as a close friend and the two of them bonded over being underestimated by the rest of the SSR. She doesn't knock him out like she did Thompson, but just runs off (after Sousa says doing so will prove her guilt). One thing I really liked about this episode was that it gave Angie a very important part to play. After Peggy retrieved the vial of Steve's blood from the hole in the wall where she'd hidden it, she escaped out the window to hide from Thompson and Sousa, who barged in (much to strict landlady's disapproval) and searched her room, before moving onto Angie's room. She catches Peggy outside her window, and without any explanation on Peggy's part, Angie proceeds to be the BEST. FRIEND. EVER (which Peggy's in dire need of at this particular moment) by spinning a tale about Peggy's sick grandma, crying on Thompson's shoulder, making both him and Sousa SO uncomfortable that they can't get out of there quick enough, then once they're gone, letting Peggy inside and simply accepting that she has a good explanation for what's happening and trusting her. Peggy compliments Angie's excellent performance with the agents (Angie says stuff secretary school, she's going to pursue her acting career after all), then the two hug and say goodbye. This whole scene almost makes up for how underutilised the character of Angie has been thus far in the season. It was a great friendship moment and showed just how loyal a friend she was to Peggy. The Russian psychiatrist Peggy and Thompson rescued last episode turns out to be a bad guy - which we discover when Dottie's watching him through the scope in a sniper rifle, as he's talking with Dooley (and attempting to hypnotise him by turning a ring on his finger and telling him to focus as he's talking about his troubles at home), but instead of snipering the Russian, Dottie uses a flashing light on the sniper rifle to do Morse code, which he responds to with taps of his finger (his message? 'Kill Peggy Carter'). Later, the Russian is left in a room with one newbie agent and this time he successfully does his hypnotism trick (after getting what information he can), telling the guy to gather his belongings, go to a bar, order a bourbon, savor it...and then walk into traffic - which he does (poor dead bastard). This whole part of the episode didn't particularly interest me, but what *did* interest me was the part where Peggy encounters Dottie, as she's trying to make good her escape (after Angie's assistance), and this leads to Dottie hugging Peggy...then snogging her. It quickly becomes clear that Dottie used Peggy's knockout lipstick, which she discovered in her room last episode. Proving she is still on the job, even as she's being knocked out, Peggy manages to uncover the handcuff marks on Dottie's wrist before falling unconscious. Dottie is about to kill Peggy with a knife (there's something fitting about the only person who's able to 'defeat' Peggy is another kick-arse woman), when Thompson and Sousa appear and Dottie has to abandon her assassination attempt, claiming to have just found Peggy in this state. The agents walk Peggy out of the Griffith Hotel in front of everyone, then through the SSR headquarters as well, before marching her into an office, sitting her down and handcuffing her to the chair/table (I forget which). Sousa not only questioned the need for this, but also when they first picked her up off the floor and Thompson handcuffed her, whereas Thompson isn't taking any chances after he got his arse handed to him earlier. This is where the episode ends - and what an episode it was. Things certainly ramped up in the second half, and it sucks that now just about everyone who'd come to trust/admire/respect Peggy feel the same way as she did when she learned about Howard and Jarvis' betrayal. Poor Peggy just can't catch a break (I know the feeling).

Season 1, Episode 7: 'SNAFU'. {Spoiler}The episode starts with a flashback to the Russian psychiatrist using his hypnotism powers to ease the pain of a soldier (who has to have his leg amputated) by making him relive a happy memory of him with his mother - though obviously he's not doing this out of the goodness of his heart. Anyway, I was in a rush to get to where we left off last episode, with the SSR men interrogating Peggy and Dooley ensuring Sousa isn't going to go easy on her 'just 'cause she's a girl'. Firstly...she's a woman, and secondly... now you decide to treat her as you would a man/an 'equal'? The real eye-opener in this scene is that Sousa certainly isn't going to play nice. In fact, I wondered if he'd count as an example of the 'nice guy arsehole' trope, since up until now he's seemed like the one really decent male co-worker Peggy had at the SSR, but after he feels betrayed by her, he takes a turn and suddenly starts accusing her of every sexist presumption he can think of, apparently not as 'enlightened' as he first appeared. On the flipside, Thompson - who's always been the most aggressive towards Peggy - seems to be not quite so harsh towards her as Sousa is. Maybe that moment they had on the plane a couple episodes ago softened him towards her? I mean, he says that he is going to have to do stuff to her he doesn't want to do to get information...so I guess that's progress? Dooley is, of course, feeling betrayed too, but on a professional level (whereas with Sousa, it seems all personal). The best thing to come out of the interrogation - which is done in an interesting way, with it cutting between the three men taking turns at questioning Peggy - is her calling all three out on how they perceived her/treated her. Every word she said was true and it was satisfying to hear her throw it back at them in return for all the things they called her/accused her of being (whether or not any of them actually accepted what she was saying as truth is another thing - if there's one thing guys can't stand, it's being called out on their BS by women). Luckily, Peggy still has one ally in Jarvis, who comes to the rescue in the form of offering the guys a deal whereby they let Peggy go free and in return he will hand over a signed confession from Howard Stark. The only deal Dooley's willing to accept is Stark being delivered in person and he officially fires Peggy from the SSR. After she's left in the room with Jarvis, she soon works out that this signed confession from Howard wasn't actually from Howard after all and Jarvis forged it - the way she works it out and Jarvis admits to it is done in an amusing manner, and her "Oh, flipping hell!" exclamation was just as good as her "Bloody Nora!" a couple episodes ago. They're quite the comedic duo, but it works on a deeper level also - as it shows just how fond Jarvis has become of Peggy (the fact that he's willing to put himself at such risk to get her out - plus, he's clearly more self-sacrificing than Howard is, who's nowhere to be seen or heard from). Meanwhile, the Russian's been listening in on Dooley's phone conversation with his wife (clearly, not all is well at home), doing his hypnosis thing and once again tapping out Morse code at the window to Dottie who's watching from across the road - this time she doesn't even need the aid of a sniper rifle's scope to see it, but luckily Peggy sees it too and she can read it (as can Jarvis, and he's wounded when Peggy's surprised by this fact), which leads to her confessing everything that happened (for realsies) to the trio of SSR guys, expressing regret over Krzeminski's death (how she didn't know he was going to be assassinated, but could've possibly done more to keep him safe), etc...and then she points out they should be going after not only Dottie (who's the one that assassinated Krzeminski), but also the Russian who they've been trusting despite him being a virtual stranger. They ask why she didn't tell them all this to begin with and we're treated to another fine Peggy Carter speech where she calls them out on how they treat her because she's a woman. I'm sure there were those who rolled their eyes at these truth bombs being dropped...but every word she said was accurate and they needed to hear it. Truth hurts, don't it? I guess Sousa goes a ways towards earning back his 'nice guy' label by trusting what Peggy said, and Dooley trusts Sousa...so he tasks him and Thompson with going over to the building across the road to get Dottie whilst he himself stays behind to babysit the Russian. Unfortunately, him telling the Russian to shut the window immediately raises his suspicions that they're onto him...which are then confirmed when he sees the agents heading over to the building Dottie's in. So, then he does his hypnotism thing again, they go where the scientists have kept Howard's gizmos that they've acquired, Dooley finds a vest (that's clearly more than just a vest), but the Russian's after something else - which he eventually finds. He then is escorted to an elevator, hands Dooley the vest, tells him he knows what to do and leaves. Meanwhile, the agents assigned to grab Dottie aren't very covert, alerting her to their presence/the fact that they're onto her as she watches from behind a door. When she figures the coast is clear, she leaves, but can tell Sousa's hiding behind a corner thanks to his shadow/silhouette, so she's ready for him when he points a gun at her. For what it's worth, Sousa puts up a valiant effort in fighting her, but he's clearly no match. She then proceeds to escape via the stairs...but Black Widows apparently don't use stairs the way normal folk do, as she leaps down between them, bouncing from side to side, before landing in front of an obviously doomed agent (since he has no lines). Sure enough, he winds up dead, the Russian picks Dottie up in a car and they speed away to go do some evil. Back at the SSR, Peggy and Jarvis have been handcuffed to a desk and locked in the interrogation room (the Russian broke off the key), so they decide to toss the desk at the two-way mirror...but every time they reach 'three' in their "One, two, three..." countdown to letting go of the desk, Jarvis halts, Peggy gets increasingly exasperated at having to put down the heavy desk again, and they hypothesize about there either being innocent people on the other side (who'll get a face full of glass) or people with guns ready to shoot them (and Peggy/Jarvis will get a face full of bullets). In the end, they decide to chance it, smashing the window. It appears Dooley's gone home in the middle of this crisis to patch things up with his wife and kids...but their happy dinner together is just another mind-whammy of the Russian's and in actuality Dooley has the vest they found before strapped to himself and he's slumped over at his desk until he's awoken by Peggy and the others knocking on his door. They see the vest is lit up with glowing orange swirly lights which're getting brighter/hotter. It soon becomes clear to them that this is an explosive vest and Jarvis lists all the things that will set it off as they seek the scientists' help...except the scientists are apparently useless. Sousa is elsewhere when the lights on the vest seem to be reaching their climax, Dooley asks his agents to apologise to his wife for not making it to dinner, then he addresses Peggy specifically, tasking her with making the Russian pay and gives her an "attagirl" (again, she's a woman...but I guess we can let it slide on account of Dooley being about to do the heroic sacrifice thing), before running towards a widow, shooting it out (with a gun he swiped from one of the agents) and taking a flying leap into midair before a large explosion shatters the buildings surrounding it. It's a shame that only now, at his end, did Dooley truly respect Peggy and trust her above all others with the task of taking the bad guy down. It's nice that the show gave his character some development/depth so his ending had some weight/emotional impact. Shea Whigham did a good job in his portrayal and brought a lot to what could've been a pretty forgettable role/character. So long, Chief. Naturally, Peggy feels this is all her fault (since she rescued the Russian and brought him to the SSR), but Jarvis reassures her that is totally not the case. Sousa returns, wondering WTF just happened, then Peggy thinks the Russian went after Steve's blood. They find it's still in its container, but something else is missing - another of Howard's gizmos. What it is/does, Jarvis doesn't know...but we soon find out when Dottie, who's acting the part of a mother - as she went shopping for a baby carriage earlier in the episode - wheels in said carriage, but it's actually carrying a cannister of some obviously deadly substance. One guy in the audience reacts exactly the same way I would when seeing a mother bring her infant to the movies...but a woman in the audience tells her to pay him no mind, then Dottie just glares daggers at the guy one more time before setting off the gas and walking out, the Russian locks the doors to the theatre, then a short time later a couple (who were late) arrive with an usher, and when they open the door, they're greeted with a theatre full of dead bodies (as they started attacking each other, leading to a stampede before they died). So... that's what that does. This was a pretty great penultimate episode, with a lot of character stuff going on, but also some really good action stuff too. Only one more episode of the season to go.

Season 1, Episode 8 (season final): 'Valediction'. {Spoiler}'The Captain America Adventure Program' is where the episode begins, with the performances just as hammy/OTT as they were the first time. Betty Carver's telling Captain America how much she loves him in the the cringiest of ways, while in reality Peggy and the rest of the SSR are looking into what happened at the movie theatre at the end of the previous episode. The description of heads bashed in and eyes gouged out paint a pretty grisly picture (sometimes descriptions are all we need and seeing stuff in gratuitous detail isn't necessary). I wondered last episode why nobody thought it weird that Dottie would bring in a baby carriage and then walk out without it. Wouldn't someone have said something? Anyway, the dead movie audience weren't the only ones to act stupid, as Sousa follows suit and foolishly picks up the canister (after worrying there's a dead baby in the carriage. Nevermind all the other dead people) which shoots him with a faceful of the gas. Shouldn't he be experienced enough to not act so reckless? Anyway, he pays for his dumb mistake by suddenly turning super-aggressive like the rest of the movie theatre did, he attacks Thompson, Peggy tries to intervene and then he hits her, and it's only when he gets knocked out that he stops attacking. He wakes up in hospital, restrained to a bed and...with no shirt, just a tank top ( why is that necessary?). Peggy asks him if he still feels like killing Thompson and he replies no more than usual. He remembers attacking him, and then attacking Peggy - which causes him to feel much guilt/shame and he apologises profusely for hitting her, but she knows he wasn't himself. Back at the SSR, Howard walks right in (after spending a season pursuing him, this is the ultimate insult to the SSR's abilities to track down a hunted man - that the only way they can get him is for him to surrender himself). He's arrested, then confesses everything that's happened which all leads back to 'the Battle of Finow', where the gas (which he created - but not for the purposes Dottie and the Russian have used it) was something he made to keep soldiers from falling asleep so they could be more efficient...or something, but then a General McGinnis used it in the wrong way or whatever and it made them attack everyone/each other and this led to a massacre. So, Howard's lived with this guilt and now he's going to have more guilt if it's used again. Sousa only got a mild taste of the stuff, but there are MANY canisters - all of which Dottie and the Russian intend to use. Speaking of the evil duo, they're driving and then get pulled over by a cop who Dottie wants to shoot, but the Russian says they shouldn't draw any unnecessary attention, so she puts on her sweet innocent act that she did when she first appeared in the show, the cop buys her story that she spins, but then he hears over his police radio descriptions of the pair, and when he turns around Dottie's pointing a gun at him. As easy as it was for Howard to walk straight into the SSR, it's just as easy for him to be acquitted of all charges, apparently - as Thompson is declaring to everyone that Stark was wrongfully charged, is innocent and such a great guy. Howard's feeding Thompson the lines of praise to say, but Thompson can only stomach so much. In the middle of Howard's speech, shots ring out and everyone ducks for cover, Peggy notices where the shooting's coming from and she goes with Thompson to check it out whilst Jarvis is tasked with getting Howard to safety, shoving him into a police car, which drives off... minus Jarvis (due to the actual policemen having been killed and revealed once the car disappears). After Peggy and everyone else learns of Howard's kidnapping, she works out that there's more going on with Dottie and the Russian's sinister plan. Sure enough, we soon learn what that plan is...after Howard's gotten slugged in the face by Dottie a few times on account of him not remembering his time with her...or her name. There's a brief flashback to him after they'd hooked up and he took her to his hangar - which is where he's currently being held at. The Russian's motivation for his evil acts? His brother died in Finow and Howard's to blame for that as far as he's concerned, so now he's going to use his hypnotism trick on Howard - making him think he's in a snowy environment at a time when Cap's plane has just gone down and a guy tells him they've found Cap...then Peggy suddenly appears (looking very fashionable in the cold weather) with Cap's shield in hand, telling Howard to bring Cap home (I think that was the gist of it). After Jarvis has informed the others of this second vault of Howard's, they get there just in time to see him flying off in a plane. Peggy's figured out the Russian has mind-controlled Howard into releasing gas over the populace and needs someone to fly after Howard, should he not be able to be freed from the mind-control and require shooting down. Thompson nor Sousa are of any use, so Jarvis is the only one left...but luckily he knows how to fly (though he's never shot down anyone). Peggy goes to stop the Russian, but she has to go through Dottie first. They have a pretty great fight, during which Dottie says she's always envied women like Peggy and basically wants to *be* her. She then makes the fatal mistake of underestimating Peggy, saying that she thought she'd be 'better'...and that's when Peggy proves just how much better she is by kicking Dottie's arse out a window and she thuds onto the wing of a plane that's down below. Peggy then finds herself in an eerily familiar situation, talking to Howard over the radio as he's getting closer to flying over civilisation and she needs to stop him before he does. It's a clear callback to her final exchange with Steve, where he had to down the plane into the water before it was over civilisation, but this time she's trying to snap Howard out of the imaginary situation he's in - where he thinks he's going to save Cap. The 'need more time' is a particular reminder of her goodbye to Steve, but in this case it's in reference to Jarvis being ready to shoot Howard down before he becomes a danger to everyone and Peggy needing more time to bring him back to reality. Meanwhile, Sousa and Thompson have gone after the Russian, noting that they should not allow him to speak to them at all lest they wind up hypnotised. Sousa tracks him down, pointing a gun at him (after Thompson failed to apprehend the bad guy and was bested by him), then the Russian starts in on his whole 'focus' thing, giving a speech to Sousa about how his co-workers (and Peggy) see/think of him, it appears like he's doing the mind-whammy on him, but when he tells Sousa to shoot Thompson, he instead whacks the Russian in the head with his gun, knocking him out, before removing stuffing from his ears and asking whether Talky McTalksalot was saying something. Back with Peggy, she's giving a speech of her own to Howard where she basically tells him he doesn't have to feel guilty about Steve (which he's been blaming himself for all this time) and this eventually seems to get through to him, she calls Jarvis off, and they all hug once back together. It mightn't have been the climax some were hoping for, but I didn't have a problem with it myself. Yes, one could maybe view it as being more about relieving Howard's guilt than about Peggy, but she's the one who saved the day in the end. Howard FINALLY remembers Dottie's name (saying it's 'Ida'), Peggy and Jarvis just exchange looks and then leave (Peggy found Dottie was missing from the plane wing when she went to check, so her nemesis is obviously out there somewhere to cause further havoc at a later date). Back at the SSR, Peggy's co-workers applaud her and it's nice to see her excellence recognised...but then some bigwig comes in and is looking for Thompson, who he heaps praise on and attributes saving the day to him, not mentioning Peggy or Sousa once...and Thompson, who you would think might've 'grown' as a person, just goes right along with it (the dick). Sousa is understandably pissed on Peggy's behalf, but this is where she delivers her iconic 'I know my value' line which is EPIC and perfectly sums up Peggy - that she doesn't need anyone else's approval or praise. I loved this line SO much that it was my signature for a while. Jarvis takes Peggy and Angie (I was glad they remembered her in this season final, even if she only got this single scene) to one of Howard's more 'modest' abodes, where Angie is flabbergasted at the size (saying the whole building of where she used to live could fit in one room of this place), then is even more amazed to hear there's a phone in every room. She's super-enthusiastic about her and Peggy being roomies at this lavish place (and for free!), though I know from having already watched Season 2 of this show when it originally aired that the writers don't actually deliver on this promise of us getting to regularly see them as roomies - which is a shame. She excitedly goes off to call her mum and tell her about her new quality of living, whilst Jarvis says he's happy to have found someone who appreciates the 'finer' things. Peggy reckons she does too...but just doesn't wish to know what's been done on the finer things, what with Howard being the manwhore that he is and such. When it all comes down to it, the most important relationship this show established was Peggy/Jarvis, and they share a couple of really good exchanges near the end of the episode - one being him ready to join her on another adventure anytime she needs him, while the other is very poignant and involves him handing her over the vial of Steve's blood...which Howard has nothing to do with, as Jarvis has made the decision that his friendship with Peggy is everything (even more than his loyalty to Howard) and he knows that she's the one and only person who should get to decide what to do with her beloved's blood. And so the season ends with Peggy Carter finding closure to her goodbye that she never was able to finish saying to Steve, on a bridge, as she tips out the last remainder of her true love, saying "Goodbye, my darling." and looking out to the sunset, ready to start a new chapter of her life. Of course, the episode doesn't quite end here, as we're then treated to an extra scene involving the Russian being led to a jail cell with a Hannibal Lecter-esque mask over his mouth and the guard taunting him about having nothing to say. Unfortunately for the guard, he's probably going to wind up the first victim once the Russian escapes - which seems a strong possibility due to his cellmate turning out to be the 'Smithers' to Red Skull's 'Mr. Burns', Dr. Zola (played by Toby Jones, making a fun/unexpected - at least the first time I watched it - special guest appearance). Not sure why they'd stick one unhinged criminal in with another, where they can plot together...but there you go. This first season of Agent Carter was, without question, excellent. It surpassed expectations, introduced new characters and relationships we could actually *care* about, had twists and turns, was action-packed, but never forgot to bring heart and have the emotional beats necessary to ensure this show was truly something great. It goes without saying that Hayley Atwell is a goddess. She brings SO much to this character, having already established Peggy as more than a mere 'love interest' from the first time we met her in CA: TFA. She's been through so much, but has remained a class act all the way. She's not without her flaws, but unlike a lot of characters, can acknowledge them and strives to grow/change/become an even better person than she already is. James D'Arcy proved another bit of excellent casting, as his Edwin Jarvis was the perfect onscreen match for Hayley Atwell's Peggy. They managed to create a believable friendship after only eight episodes and are a truly great pairing. All the other main cast, as well as recurring characters and guest-stars, were really good too. Naturally, there were some who had to nitpick this show for no other reason than it had a female lead who kicked arse and took no BS, but for those who didn't have the maturity of children, this was a very rewarding viewing experience that, sadly, wasn't appreciated as much as it should've been. Still, at least we got a second season (with ten episodes), and short seasons of high quality episodes will always be preferable to seasons with bigger quantities of lesser quality episodes.
