Another Remarkable Episode. In fact, this third episode may have been better than the first two (which are universally praised).
I love the fact that the series allowed itself a breath. Developing the rest of the SSR as three dimensional characters and fleshing out Jarvis a bit is masterful. Everything was written wonderfully. Peggy using guile is so much more interesting then her using her fighting skills. Yes, it's fun to see her kick ass but they kept it reasonable. Showing her using her skills yet getting outmuscled by a big guy adds believability. Showing that her pride was hurt as she was forced to play the fool was even better. Both add true depth to the character and to the show.
The fact that she was rushing to salvage her pride helps illustrate that she is a flawed hero (The best kind). Having Jarvis talk her down and be the voice of reason was perfect. She has been put in a tough spot right from the start and this series is masterfully playing every angle of that. A lot of things have gone wrong but that's the cards she's been forced to play. Make the best decision possible using the limited resources at your disposal. Again, masterful writing.
