The real staff payoff was the fact that it was the Catalyst to Ward and May's totally platonic relationship. The staff was used as a MacGuffin for Ward to show vulnerability and gain the trust of May, as he was able to use that as an excuse to get close to her, as shown when he had a few drinks with her and talked out his problems after that terrible event.

That episode also set up his messed-up childhood and in hindsight it should have been a big red flag that he wasn't entirely on the side of sanity.

If you want a show that lays in tons of stuff, check out Fringe.

That scene with Howard going through the lab reorganizing stuff felt like he was very intentionally channeling Robert Downey Jr's tendency to do the same kind of thing as Tony Stark. I thought that was a great little touch. Like Father, like Son. It just occurred to me that we've had two Peggy Carter adventures in the MCU so far, and the climax of both was Peggy on the radio, trying to talk down a friend who was flying a plane full of USA-bound superweapons.

Its weird to me that so many friends of mine have been saying "Agent Carter is so great because its not about who Peggy should marry." But Agent Carter is a love story, just a very unconventional one. This finale really hit that point hard, in a good way.

Other reactions; everyone keeps wonking on about how much they all care about Skye and I think I'm meant to be reading romantic tension between her and Ward but every time people go nuts over her getting threatened it just feels as if the team's getting angry because someone hurt the brain-damaged cat they keep around as a derpy mascot and have all gotten fond of.

Her romantic tension with Ward is only part of the character, but by the time they start making out more, Ward will be fleshed out much better and you'll definitely see why she'd want to kiss someone like him.

I know it starts slow but the Skye/Ward romance ends up being the best part of the show

It's just that one of my biggest peeves is the whole "Oh my gosh...looking back, it seems like the writers planned this all along!!!1" reaction that nerds have whenever an ongoing story displays any kind of continuity whatsoever.

It was the end of their lovestory, I guess? I mean they worked together closely in dangerous situations for a decent amount of time (off screen) in the first Cap movie, it's just that that movie was a mess especially in terms of editing and pacing and instead of time being spent on developing characters and relationships we get 10 minutes of exposition we've already heard set to the soundtrack of Tommy Lee Jones loudly chewing steak. Their relationship was more implied than shown and I think the ending of her saying goodbye to a vial of blood would feel more, idk, earned I guess? if Cap1 had been a better movie with more fleshed out character interactions.

Narcissus1916 posted:Its weird to me that so many friends of mine have been saying "Agent Carter is so great because its not about who Peggy should marry." It's a love story but it doesn't have that "will they/won't they" and other dumb stereotypical poo poo that 99% of other tv romances amount to. I've had friends say the same thing that yours said. It's actually pretty unique as far as TV romances go. Same with Skye/Ward.* *I know I'm on record as being a not-very-big fan of SHIELD but I started watching season 2 again after Carter ended. I like it a lot more if I just pretend season 1 never existed. I just need a Carter fix and I don't know what to dooo

 SPOILERS ahead for people like MikeJF, who are just starting/catching up on the show (and those who don't want ANY spoilers AT ALL for what's coming up) Chloe Bennet posted this on Instagram earlier: quote:This is dope. Done by Gabriele Dell'Otto! Who happens to be the co creator of "Daisy Johnson". My inner fan girl is making GBS threads herself. I think this is our first clear look at Raina. Let the speculation begin!

Hopefully her powers are to turn into an actual character with any kind of depth whatsoever instead of just being obnoxiously smug all the time.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I hope her power is to learn to finish off your enemies with a headshot. A true superpower, in all comic narratives. The number of times on this season of Arrow alone that a character points a gun at someone's face and chooses instead to monologue ineffectually has become ridiculous. Skye was a superhero before her terrigenesis, just for getting a shot and taking it. Double-tapping an enemy in the head would be expecting way too much.

Gotta put yourself out there, just for the practice, so that when you DO meet the right gal you'll know what to do with her.

Also, was the chronology of the end of SHIELD totally hosed up? It was like four or five days after Hydra surfaced and Maria was employed by Stark and bitching about congressional committees like she'd been seeing them for months.

BrianWilly posted:I'm really glad Howard decided to destroy his things at the end because he very frankly should be arrested as a menace if he hadn't. Hell, I was on Dr. Faustus' side by the middle of the episode. You're trying to make a chemical that replicates the effects of "strong coffee" and it turns people into crazed berserkers? Why is the army even going to him to invent chemicals? Isn't he an engineer?? This is that movie thing where every scientist is automatically good at every kind of science, isn't it? If a private citizen is not be allowed to keep the kind of highly destructive doomsday weapons built by an narcissistic egonomaniacal engineer in his vault, then this fictional america might as well be nazi germany.  So any announcement regarding this show? How did it fare in the ratings? Are they planning of making more?
