We're still going with this "women are being treated bad" theme? Season 1 preferred ending would had been Carter running the show, this Agent Thompson drama was unneeded.
I need season 2. Right now. Behind Winter Soldier, this is my favourite thing Marvel's put out and I think I like Peggy more than the protagonists in their films.
Now, season 2 with Zola in a recurring role please.
Watch the Knick.For some reason,it's woven into the tapestry of the series. I don't expect it to change much. I hope it does going forward, as it got pretty heavy handed at times.
I mentioned this elsewhere, but I wonder how the reaction would be if this same premise were used with a black man instead of a woman. "Great work Anderson. By the way,would you mind shining my shoes in my office before you leave?" I don't think it would go over too well with viewers. But I think most people sorta accept men will typically act as neanderthals toward women if given half a chance.
Consider me... underwhelmed by this end.
Anyone else notice that this whole show makes the One-Shot 'Agent Carter' ... NOT WORK. We clearly see by the end of this season she's an integral member of the S.S.R. in the eyes of her peers, yet in the one shot she never is until Howard brings her along to form SHIELD.
It doesn't work. It's completely contradicted what is supposed to be MCU Canon.
Maybe you could judge the episode based on its own merits and not based on whether it affects something else?
Anyway, to me, it's a retcon. Assume what's contradicted is no longer there but everything that's not contradicted is still valid. I would simply time jump Stark's ending - have everything with Zodiac happen first and then assume the ending with Stark happens years later after everything with the SSR. Alternatively, you can assume she gets a new boss who treats her like dirt and then the thing with Zodiac happens (in that case, it's only the year that's necessarily wrong).
But this is really a side topic, since the episode deserves to be judged on its own merits.
Amazing way to close off the series. The parallels with other MCU moments were done perfectly. Howard was a delight as always, and Peggy had some absolutely heartbreaking scenes (the true goodbye to Cap was earned by the AC producers. Could have felt forced, but it made the show feel like a touching epilogue to TFA)
In terms of the One-Shot, just massage the facts of what happens. Remember in that, Stark actually runs the SSR. And the end of the episode strongly implies that Stark is setting up SHIELD - he says that his inventions are no good under any government, implying he's going above and beyond them.
Anyway, great ending. It left the show with the potential to do more, but by no means an obligation
The episode ends in May 1946. That still leaves seven months for Stark to become the head of the SSR (or one of the heads) and for Peggy to be transferred to another office to work under Agent Flynn. Also, don't forget that Stark talks about Peggy "running S.H.I.E.L.D." with him in the One-Shot, but there's not a single mention of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the series. Therefore, there's still plenty of time to put all the little pieces together.
So with the discussion of the one-shot and what one year later means and all that, did anyone else realize that the season finale takes place pretty much exactly a year after Cap goes down in the Valkyrie (he goes down right around VE-day in early May 1945). IMO, this makes Peggy letting go of the blood on the Brooklyn bridge (sending what's left of him back home, as it were) all the more poignant as it's essentially the first anniversary of his 'death'.
Just thought I'd throw that out there
Hmm... never noticed that one, well then, disregard my postActually, he crashed the Valkyrie in March 1945.
