I was also rather disappointed in Thompson reverting to type at the end, as I was thinking he'd come around. <br /><br />Ah, well. It was still sort of nice to hear Peggy say that getting the recognition didn't matter because she knew her own worth, and to really mean it. It was a fitting conclusion for this season's "Peggy's struggles in the workplace" arc. <br /><br />Overall, it was a decent enough conclusion for this first eight, and I sure hope we get at least one more season. I want more Peggy and Jarvis!Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-10582352410010591502015-02-28T23:08:21.464-05:002015-02-28T23:08:21.464-05:00Excellent review, Mark!

She's downright inspirational.<br /><br />I really hope this show gets renewed. Really, really a lot. But I'm also excited for <i>Daredevil</i>. Damn you, Marvel! You've lured me in!

Lyndsy Fonseca certainly proved her spy chops on Nikita. And we definitely need a rematch with Dottie, I can never get enough Bridget Regan, even though I miss her usual red hair. :)<br /><br />I loved this finale, even though it may not have been on as grand a scale as some were hoping for. Rather than swing for the fences and miss, they got a solid extra-base hit(can you tell I'm excited that Spring Training has begun?), and I'm fine with that. <br /><br />Hayley Atwell deserves every accolade possible for her work on this show. Her portrayal of Agent Carter was one of the strongest, most three-dimensional, inspiring, relatable female characters we've ever had on television. She was strong without being bitchy, a feminist without alienating the male audience, they neither hid Ms. Atwell's obvious physical allure nor did they overemphasize it. I sincerely hope we get more of this show, even if it continues to be in a shorter format like this. I'd love it if they could find a way to extend it to something like an 8-episode run in the winter and another 8-10 episodes in the summertime, perhaps. But only if they can maintain the quality they had in this first season. From start to finish, it was a thoroughly enjoyable ride.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-49595020859377155062015-02-28T16:48:49.132-05:002015-02-28T16:48:49.132-05:00'When Angie left the room to call her mother, ...'When Angie left the room to call her mother, I was honestly expecting her to be revealed as a HYDRA agent.'<br /><br />YES!

Not a surprise that Jack what's his face took the credit for her work, though. We can't have completely clear sailing for Peggy.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
