DSC01 he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 There's no Agent Carter thread yet? For shame! The new season started tonight, and while I'm still at work and have therefore not seen it yet, I plan to watch it when I get home and come back to discuss. So start discussing, or I'll be forced to come back and double post. And we all know that double posting is bad form and generally frowned upon, so please don't force me into such an indignity! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I will save you from the evils of doubleposting! I'm currently watching it, and it's awesome. I've been waiting for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 We watched the first half of it; we'll save the second for tomorrow. Pretty much everything I expect out of Agent Carter. Except...Peggy's sads when she was looking out the window! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC01 he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Noooooo! DVR scheduling conflicts have stymied my plans to watch Agent Carter! I guess that I'll be waiting until tomorrow to watch it On Demand. It's Flash and the Legends of Tomorrow preview special for me tonight. Which isn't so bad, I guess. I've got The Expanse, too, but I'd better wait to watch that with my girlfriend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I love the beginning of the second season every bit as much as I thought I would. Jarvis is even more delightful than he was in the first season, and his wife is even more so. Peggy's fighting style seems to have moved a little away from the "slam people around" we saw in the first season, which I am a little regretful of - I liked her... directness there, but it's not a big deal. I did like the opening shot a lot. Dressing... Dorothy? up the way Peggy dressed in the first season, the contrast of her colorful hat and suit, walking opposite to the flow of the grey-clad crowd of men, it's good imagery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC01 he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I had time to watch the first episode before work, and I have to say, it's great. I love the way they set up several mysteries and fed just enough information to us for each one to pace the story properly. The episode's resolution felt satisfying, even though everything that was resolved raised new questions. I think the key is that questions are answered, making it a more rewarding viewing experience than a show that just stacks mystery atop mystery. That's not to say that I can't appreciate a mystery. For example, I thought that the first episode of Colony was great, and there's little in the way of answers on that show. Still, it's more fun when we know a little about what's going on. I have to agree that the Jarvis couple are excellent. I suspected that they were going to try to make Mrs. Jarvis' character different than what one would expect, but she was still a nice surprise. So far, my favorite Mr. Jarvis bit is his dismay over Bernard the flamingo. Also, Dottie as a deranged Black Widow is pretty awesome. Showing up dressed as Agent Carter was great. You know she did it on purpose, but you're left to wonder if she's doing it to taunt Peggy or because she's feels a creepy lunatic's affection/obsession for her (I suspect that it's both at the same time). This season looks like it's going to be just as great as the last one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 OK, am I the only one who's actually getting aggravated at this shoehorned love triangle thing? If they take the obvious route and make Violet secretly evil, I am going to be so disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Parker he/him Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I loved the first season, and really enjoyed the first two episodes of the new seasons. I'm really excited to see where they take it. OK, am I the only one who's actually getting aggravated at this shoehorned love triangle thing? If they take the obvious route and make Violet secretly evil, I am going to be so disappointed. I don't think this will be the case. I think Sousa will get married and the whole event will dispel the rumors that Sousa is the man Peggy marries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 So I thought Sousa kissed the 'gatekeeper' woman but then he's going out with Violet? I sort of assumed she was a sister or something and I currently have no idea what's going on. I didn't expect to like Mrs Jarvis but she is *fabulous*. It's so nice for Peggy to have a friend. Also this is totally non plot related but I really like the lipstick shades going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC01 he/him Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Do you mean Rose? The lady who turns down everyone who tries out for their agency and was in the first season as a fake phone operator? That wasn't who he was kissing. It was Violet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Yeah Rose. I didn't know she had a name. I totally thought it was her when peg was looking down through the blinds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 So, she's been cancelled. There's a petition to move the show to Netflix. is anyone interested? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jondesu he/him Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Definitely precedent for putting it on Netflix anyways, since they have 4-5 others either already available or announced. I'd say there's a fairly decent chance of that. jW 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
