But yeah, I guess you can never actually trust that anyone is dead until their fucking head's cut off. No, it was not clear he was dead. When he froze himself he stopped his death until he unfreezes. And in that case someone can still save him if they got a good doctor and needed stuff when they find him. People live through being shot all the time (even shots that always kill people in movies = headshots) if you can do a surgery on them in time. | ||

Anyway, I thought the first two episodes were a ton of fun. There are only 8 planned so far, so they may actually wrap up the story coherently. But damn... she's so much cooler than the modern agents. | ||

Edit: Although, technically she's an agent of the SSR, not SHIELD. | ||

Still, it'll probably get better past the growing pains of the openers. | ||

The aesthetic is fucking cool (suddenly making the couples costume Cap/Carter something that would rock), the characters all hit their emotional notes perfectly, while being hardly monolithic. And the protagonist is actually smart. She's clever, does real spycraft, doesn't flinch from hard calls, and her neurosis (every spy has to have one) is legitimately well-founded. This episode plays on some of this stuff, having her make a few bad calls, but in completely realistic, understandable ways. Another thing: it's a fantasy show, not in the Elves and Dragons sense, but in the Spiderman/Chuck/Buffy sense where you're kinda left guessing how much of the action is real and how much is imaginary in the mind of the frustrated and bored hero at their dumb day job. And this is carried off very carefully... how her cover story is the "phone company" and she always comes into work with the phone bank on the wall, how she has to rephrase her stories for the friend to understand, how her fantasy man is dapper as fuck but still completely non-sexual because that's the place she's at, and so on and so forth. I also love that its a 50s sexism show, but in a totally non-irritating, non-preachy way. I know it's probably just these 8 episodes, but damn, I'd be in for another season of this. | ||

Every character compelling, and the fact they kill off a named character each episode is ballsy as all get out.

I also love that its a 50s sexism show, but in a totally non-irritating, non-preachy way. I know it's probably just these 8 episodes, but damn, I'd be in for another season of this. Actually, looking back on the first week's episodes, the whole 50s sexism bit is kind of preachy. Like, every sympathetic character is either A) an established name (Stark and Jarvis), B) female, or C) the crippled guy. Everyone else is incompetent, a jerk, or evil. Like, seriously, every single male diner customer that speaks is a total douche. Every male SSR member except for the crippled guy is a jerk. And this week's episode, the first unsympathetic female is, surprise, the landlady telling all the women to be "50's proper". And Krzeminski (had to look up how to spell that) gets to be sympathetic by dying, so, yeah. Though, I guess there was that guy climbing the pipes for that opening gag? Still, not really an issue, per se, but after you mentioned it, it's kind of like...wow, they really pushed it hard, didn't they? Still not liking how the series seems confused about being a police procedural. I mean, opening episode establishes that most of the SSR members are WW2 veterans, and yet every single one of them act like career cops. I do like how they're playing with the Film Noir genre, and essentially having Peggy be the typical Mysterious Woman, except it's all from her perspective. That's also basically the thing that's keeping 80% of the cast relevant to the story. | ||
