Who knew that Marvel would become a bastion of feminist television, but wow, am I thrilled.
ANDREA TOWERS:Im with you on the favorite episode train!
She had a brother!
We met her mom!
Learning all this new background only served to make her MORE interesting.
(I still want to know more about Peggys life as a code breaker.
Where is that spin-off?!)
GINA:Couldnt agree more.
I did love her interaction with her brother at the engagement party, too.
ANDREA:The contrast and parallel to Agnes early life was both a delight and a surprise.
I mean, I may even end up feeling bad for Whitney by the time this season is over!
I also love the differences in how Peggy and Agnes grew up.
Peggy grew up thinking she wasnt cut out for that kind of work when approached about the S.O.E.
want him to be, etc.)
GINA:It just felt like such an obvious reference toJessica Jones!
That had to be intentional, right?
Its adorable appearance belies a vile temperament.
The lines the writers give that character are entirely priceless, and James DArcy delivers them with aplomb.
ANDREA:Jarvis is, once again, making everything wonderful by just being his flustered, genuine self.
(Shall we take bets on what OTHER animals Mr. Stark has?)
ANDREA:Do we have any theories about Wilkes and what might be happening to him?
(He seems stable, but those swirling letters he sees makes me a little nervous.)
GINA:Well, we know Peggy does marry some lucky guy, so she is (maybe?)
guaranteed a little bit of happiness at some point.
Whether its now or much later, though, who could say?
Chadwick asks, What are you?
And Whitneys response is, Whatever I want.
