Thursday, 28 January 2016
Edit
Spoiler warning.
As Peggy (Hayley Atwell) searches for the stolen Zero Matter, she uncovers what may endure a huge conspiracy involving a politician, Calvin Chadwick (Currie Graham), who is running for Senator, together with his Hollywood star married adult woman Whitney Frost (Wynn Everett). She is joined every bit ever past times Mr. Jarvis (James D'Arcy) together with Chief Sousa (Enver Gjokaj), only Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) also drops past times inwards a welcome return, together with Chief Thompson (Chad Michael Murray) flies inwards from New York to antagonize their investigation.
I expected we'd come across to a greater extent than of doc Wilkes (Reggie Austin) eventually, only I never expected it'd endure thence fast. He isn't dead, only isn't actually rattling technically endure either -- he's similar a scientific ghost (using the give-and-take "scientific" inside the parameters of the show's version of science, of course). And I'm certain that they figure out how to choose him dorsum to the physical reality thence that the sparks betwixt him together with Peggy tin forcefulness out endure resolved i agency or another.
Jarvis happily continues the endure Peggy's almost constant companion together with loyal friend. Howard slipped inwards similar he's ever belonged (very feature of him) together with made all his common airy quips, sly remarks together with fun nods, together with I rather wishing he'd remain for every episode, only that seems unlikely. He actually circular out the "team" number though. Everyone else on the squad who had their introductions 2 episodes agone look to receive got eased comfortably into their respective places together with establish their groove. It's a expert i -- this episode may non endure the high character of the average showtime flavor episode, only it feels comfortable together with natural again.
The to the lowest degree natural thing was Thompson -- who may non endure a bad guy, only is undoubtedly an antagonist -- coming to pry into our heroes affairs together with brand matters worse for them. He acts similar he's Sousa's boss, together with later on forcing Peggy to larn on the L.A. assignment, threatens to describe her out of it for... reasons I honestly don't remember, only it doesn't thing because the indicate of everything he does is what he does, non why. If the indicate were why he does thing, together with thence the grapheme would endure much to a greater extent than acceptable together with plumbing equipment inwards the narrative.
Peggy continues to endure the Peggy nosotros all honey together with appreciate. When she's adventuring -- sneaking together with spying together with mostly existence Peggy -- past times herself was the to a greater extent than memorable parts of the show. An I felt the to a greater extent than slowed-down, richer footstep I was hoping for inwards those scenes every bit well. She together with Sousa receive got a to a greater extent than comfortable dynamic going correct at in i trial every bit their drama inwards pose on the back-burner. I approve of this. Don't milk it also difficult -- seeing them function good together without tense, romantic undertones is quite enjoyable.
Whitney Frost is shaping upwards to endure a big super villain of the flavor every bit her efforts to pocket the Zero Matter resulted inwards it implanting itself inwards her brow together with at in i trial she tin forcefulness out accidentally kill people past times touching them. Crazy. The grapheme is interesting together with sufficiently creepy, only I worry for the potential cheesiness of her future. I lookout adult man Agents of SHIELD for superhero powers; I lookout adult man Agent Carter for throwback fashionable mystery solving, thence I promise they maintain it all firmly grounded inwards that realm. This episode both begins to expression up, together with casually threatens to wander fifty-fifty farther down.
