Blaming Stark is a bit of a stretch even if it's kinda true.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.

I mean Stark's stupid rear end should put better locks on his super weapons.


Honestly all Superweapons should be registered with the government.

I do like Carter mentioning him being a good agent. That's probably my favorite thing about the show, the competent levels of the people around her.

You know what my first though was when Kaminski got killed was? Jarvis was really worried about leaving a witness behind... what if this mysterious assassin is JARVIS? I mean, that does seem a little too ruthless, and it would certainly turn the viewers against him, but I don't think it's completely improbable.

What an underwhelming episode, given the quality of the first two. I mean, it wasn't bad, it still had its moments, but I thought the entire point of an eight-episode season was to keep the pacing brisk and focused.

I thought "This seems to be meant for us to suspect it could be Jarvis" but I didn't actually suspect him.

It occurred to me too, but yeah, it doesn't make sense. In addition to what others have said, the circus goon was acting like he knew the hitman before he shot him, "hey man don't worry I didn't tell them anything", sort of like he was his boss or something. But he didn't seem familiar with Jarvis at all and was happy to try to kill him.

Besides, making it reveal that Jarvis bad would kinda not make sense, since Jarvis had to done something important for Howard or Tony to name their AI after him.

CONVICTED OF DISPLAYING HIS PEANUTS IN PUBLIC
Anyone got close ups of the assassin? And maybe a gif of that wide shot of them walking to the car? I have had doubt put into my head as to whether creepy stalker is actually a man now but I already deleted the episode.

Seemed obvious that the killer was the new next door neighbor, I'm guessing she's Iowan by way of Russia.

Okay, good points about why the assassin can't actually be Jarvis. I didn't really want it to be him anyway.

Oh yeah, she's totally some kind of plant to spy on Carter, that was clear immediately.

The SSR's obsession with Stark is such incredibly lazy writing, especially since it opposes our protagonist.

Unless you want them to stop having any kind of story or other characters besides Agent Carter, then i hardly see how this episode could be any more focused.

They're kind in a weird place about being a secret agency. Like, they hide their HQ but go around telling people that they work for SSR.

Maybe they just sort of assumed that the guy was never walking out?

The whole secret spy building behind a bank of switchboard operators is kind of silly though - that's a lot of potential leaks.

Pretty sure all those operators on that hallway are working for them considering how they were all crying after Krzeminski died, not just Rose.

Also, setting up your agency inside a phone exchange would certainly make it easy work to tap & trace calls.
