New Agent Carter!

New Agent Carter! New Agent Carter!

I may possibly write about the episode at more length later, but for now: this is the kind of quality Dottie Underwood that I am here for. Is she actually that obsessed with Peggy Carter? Or does she just realize that hearing her swoon over Peggy really, really pisses Jack Thompson off? OR BOTH?

Also: we finally get to meet Anna Jarvis! Who is clearly feeling a bit territorial about Jarvis (that kiss at the beginning), but then, who wouldn't, Jarvis is adorable. He's all excited to show off his judo moves to Peggy! Peggy is all, oh Jarvis, you don't know what you're getting into. He should stick to looking dapper and making quips.

Also Agent Sousa has a new girlfriend, who seems like a lovely person, but I am not sure how I feel about this development because I am pretty sure that Sousa is still in love with Peggy (or possibly has fallen in love with her all over again now that she's shown up again), so I feel like this is going to end badly for everyone, SADFACE.

...Also I have the unpleasant feeling that the symbol that keeps showing up everywhere is the Hydra symbol that's been all over season 3 of Agents of SHIELD, which I don't like because (1) the Hydra in season 3 of AoS is comic book evil in a bad way, and (2) given that we the viewers all know that Hydra ends up infiltrating her organization and tearing it apart from the inside, I'm not sure how I feel about them showing up as the Big Bad in season 2. It's going to make any victory unpleasantly Pyrrhic.

But we'll see! We'll see where it goes! For now, my show is back!

I enjoyed the episodes, but was left feeling feeling unenthusiastic about the potential for this all to devolve into love triangle awkwardness and hurt feelings.

Maybe it won't go in that direction - and certainly if Peggy does develop a relationship with someone who makes her happy, that would be great. But otherwise I'd prefer that the story be about Peggy making friends and being awesome.


Speaking of Peggy making friends, Ana was younger than I was expecting Jarvis' wife to be, even though she doesn't actually look very younger than Jarvis does - I think something about his manner tricks me into thinking he's older than he actually looks.

I had most of the same thoughts you did.
