AbsolutelySane posted:Grease gun (edit - above is right, I'm misremembering it, it was a Tommy Gun with a straight clip), actually, but yeah, it was. The SSR was certainly creative with fronts in the '40's. It looks like they got lazy at some point, if TWS is any indication. 'Yeah, let's just put it in a fake munitions bunker on a National Guard post.' is a far cry from what they're doing in this show. I guess they were afraid Zola would keep the neighbors up, or something. At that point they were growing into SHIELD proper most likely. But even then, remember that one of the secret bases shown on AoS had a barber shop entrance.

i haven't overlayed the images or anything, but is the SSR office in Carter, the same one Coulsons using?

Rocksicles posted:i haven't overlayed the images or anything, but is the SSR office in Carter, the same one Coulsons using? It shouldn't be. I don't remember AoS being based out of New York City. The AoS base that Coulson is using seems to be more like some kind of bunker or something. I got the feeling that it was used during the war (if only because the only allusions to the old SSR has been through flashbacks in dealing with Nazi HYDRA.) So basically, more akin to the secret base in Captain America 1, than the office in Carter.

I thought they might be sharing sets or something. I'd really like to see more links between the two shows, given the SSR base provides a perfect link.

Bruceski posted:I've got one question: why was the boat still there? It's been quite a while since the stuff was stolen, and the key thing about boats is that they move. Even if you just sail it to another dock, don't leave the boat full of stuff you stole right next to your exit. I can think of two separate reasons that the boat would still be there. First, they didn't want to draw attention to it after the robbery by moving it right after someone broke into the vault and second the mook's boss was dead so there was nobody to tell him to move it.

Please tell me the ratings are doing good on this show. It's been really pretty great so far. Of all the things I expected of this show when I heard it announced (I assumed it'd be a WW2 show), what I didn't was such gray-area look at the 50s, with lots of gruff, bad things happening but good people doing them because it's the mindset of the era. Plus, it delivers on other levels too. Really digging this show. They learned a lot from their early fumble with SHIELD and hit the ground running this time. twistedmentat posted:And now Peggy has that dudes death on her head. Quick question: What was the real tell for that scene? They very second it cut to them in the car, before anyone even showed up, I knew that guy was going to die. Like I'd been shocked if he didn't, even when there was no threat. Maybe the back of my mind figured out that "Well, they're going to have to off the witness.." but I was thinking she'd have to deal with him in the next episode so I don't think that was it. Just something about the way it was shot. I did love how they killed the guy they dumped on all episode. That's pretty drat awesome, because usually if someone's going to die, they get their moment to shine in a great way; instead he mostly got ragged on and insulted but in the end nobody actually hated him, and it made it somehow one of the better executed TV deaths of a character that's barely been around for a few episodes because you could tell he was kind of an rear end but was still not evil. I have to give them some props, I don't think that could have been handled much better. I also like how this show manages to both stay somewhat light while really getting pretty loving dark. It's a hard line to walk. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 11:04 on Jan 18, 2015 |

They just changed the schedule for the Portland Comic Con this coming weekend to add Brett Dalton and Ming-na Wen to the guest list, so now I'm twice as excited to go since I'm going to get my picture taken with Ward and May.

Enjoyed the three episodes, but forgot to watch the end credits. Is there any extra plot at the end (like in AoS)?

If you want to make the state of the union fun, imagine he's in an alternate universe where he isn't a compete buffoon and actually capable of pushing his agenda through congress without a supermajority. Kind of like The Man in the High Castle, but if the bad guys won.

I'm glad I can always rely on forum's posters of comedy website SomethingAwful.com to show off some cutting edge, creative and original humor. They really get jokes and know a lot about not running them into the ground. Especially extremely hilarious ones.
