yeah, the flag smasher stuff is just ... incredibly poorly thought out, which is such a weak link to otherwise well thought out aspects of the show.

And Sharon, sigh. I worry that Sharon Carter's characterization is just going to continue to be thrown about due to plot needs, so she's just ... all over the place. Like... at the end, when they invoke Peggy Carter -- shouldn't Sharon at least feel some remorse? Or like "oh yeah, I have that speech at her funeral..." It's one thing for her to reluctantly become Power Broker because it's one of the few channels left to her. It's another for her to do so because she has decided to completely go against everything else she's ever stood for (which ... would also be clearer if she ever stood for anything besides Convenient Plot Device). I just tell myself it's better than the mysterious pregnancy stuff in the comic books, but bleh.
