Marvels Agent Carter S2 |OT| S.H.I.E.L.D. L.A. - Tuesdays 9/8c
- Thread starter TheOddOne
- Start date
Final episode wasn't the best, but 9 was amazing, 8 was great, fuck, a lot of this season was fantastic. Season 3 would be very, very welcome.
I agree that too many threads were wrapped up too cleanly, too quickly, and, once again, shows are scared to kill even expendable characters.
Also, I don't think the writers keep track of in-universe continuity much, which is too bad.

Just watched the finale, and my thoughts on it are basically my thoughts for the whole season: decent, occasionally funny and punctuated by some nice character dynamics (mainly Peggy-Jarvis-Howard), but also kind of dull and anti-climactic. I think overall S2 was a step down from 1 mainly because so much of this year hinged on Peggy's sympathy and potential feelings for Jason, when he always struck me as a bit of creep right from the start, so I never really cared what was going to happen to him.
It's also annoying that they not only ended on a cliffhanger, but also left a handful of other plot threads (Arena Club key, Dottie on the run, etc.) open, despite basically no chance of a third season. I mean they had to know, given how bad the S1 ratings were, that just getting renewed for a second season was a long shot, much less a third. I wish they had written a little more finality into what will very likely be this series finale.
Despite its faults, if the show gets cancelled, I will at least miss it as the last/only place for Peggy, Jarvis and Howard, whose chemistry together is up there with the best of the MCU relationships.

I fully agree that the Peggy-Jason relationship was DoA. The two just had no spark, and he came off all wrong from the beginning.
Also, I'd really have liked it if they kept the Peggy-Sousa relationship one of mutual respect between good, good friends. I know she has to find someone, but he was always a strange fit.
Oh, and did anyone find the lack of Cap (or anything alluding to him) conspicuous in the Ep9 dream sequence?

Paging Netflix.
wild mass guesing time
The document given to vernon said M. Carter, staning for Margaret, or MICHAEL
they spent enough time driving in that michael is dead.
or maybe his death was faked by some nefarious entity and he carried on in secret
and the man who shot Jack Thompson....Was Michael!
you can quote me on that at Season 3

A nod would've been nice, but the show is past Cap at this point. The show addressed him in S1, it didn't need to dwell on him.

Just caught the last episode.
That ending was a kick in the nuts. Jack got Coopered. And the key. What the hell does the key unlock.
Man... if we don't get a season 3...

Agree with those who thought the finale was weak but overall I loved this season. Not a fan of Wilkes but every other character was pretty great.

Subete no aware
I assume they can just create a time portal and have her show up on Shield as a guest star when ABC inevitably announces that they're cancelling this.
Not Jack! His exclusion was my biggest disappointment of the season. I love the "harem" vibe of the first season, but it was absent this season. I put the blame squarely on the loss of the vital "BAKA! It's not like I like you or anything" character.
Love the show, though, and sad to see its rating. The show still have problems believably getting from plot point A to plot point B, but I just love the cast and could watch them do anything as long as they are talking to each other. Think all the Marvel shows are great, but most of those episodes are still sitting in my backlog because they don't grab me like this show.

Is it me or was there a lack of action scenes this season? I remember the scene in S1 of Peggy brawling a bunch of SSR lackeys in Angie's diner, and of course Peggy vs. Dottie in the finale. I would've liked to have seen Peggy fight Whitney at the end: superior training and fitness versus symbiotic Zero Matter.

There was definitely less, which I'm fine with because I don't feel like the action scenes were ever the show's strength.
They could just put Peggy, Jarvis, and Howard in a car on a cross-country trip and I'd be happy.

Fuck. Now I want that.

The new Prez of ABC has decided to stop waiting for upfronts in May to announce show renewals - some of them at least. Right now she's announced renewals on Once Upon a Time, and expected that many comedies and the Shondaland shows will be announced too. Keep your fingers crossed for Carter - and not having to wait until May!
Finally got the chance to watch the finale last night. I'll have to agree with some people that it was pretty weak, but the characters really made it shine.
I didn't like how Whitney Frost was taken out so quickly. I was expecting her to put up a fight, not just fall for that trap so easily. But I guess they can maybe justify that with how crazy she became with Zero Matter.
That being said, Peggy and Sousa was a year in the making.
Thompson eventually siding with the good guys was also, well, good. But I hope they didn't just kill him off, what a shame to lose him after finally being likeable (within Peggy's group).
Really hoping we get one final season to wrap everything up for Peggy. I feel like it can do one last season.

Dammit I got carried away when I read that first sentence.

Yep. Zero matter is Darkforce. First time it's seen in the MCU. Maybe Peggy will have a flashback cameo in Doctor Strange now?
second time. we saw it in AoS first

If they don't do a Season 3, I hope as part of Season 4 for AoS, they do a flashback thing so they can at least tie things up.

I meant in terms of the timeline.

Still think it's dumb we got a total of like 2 flashbacks in AOS for Peggy
What I want is more Peggy Carter & The Howling Commandos
It wasn't until the finale that I even remembered Peggy is supposed to join SHIELD eventually. :lol

Yeah I mean that was the initial promise of the one-shot turned series.
Now season 2 is over, we might not get a season 3, and there is no hint of them doing the SHIELD origin story.

Yeah I wonder if this show continues when we'll get a chance to see Peggy in shield. I atleast want some form of media with Peggy in shield if it won't be the Tv show

More Atwell!
LOL
Hehe yeah that could be it.
Hopefully he also wouldn't spend most of a possible third season in the hospital.
That would be great.

That would be great. Like how Justice League Unlimited gave Batman Beyond it's own episode to serve as an epilogue.

Could be some good news - just tweeted by the costume designer on Carter:

Please be the truth!
Crossing my fingers for an official announcement
Please be true! Just watched the finale and I want more Peggy & Jarvis, Peggy/Daniel (<3333) and PLEASE BE OKAY JACK 😭

Hope it's true but I also hope they manage to make it better than this season. Didn't feel as hooked as I did for the first. Maybe we'll see the foundation of SHIELD.
is nerd reactor generally credible with this stuff?
My wife would be so happy if this is true. I told her it was probably over.
I'd like to say props to the costume designer in general. Set design and costumes are definitely some of the best in the business.
This. Stark shines in every scene he does.

I wish they'd go a little harder on the villains. I know Cap's part of the MCU has always been...slightly more grounded? But they can do better then what they've done.
