    Pretty enjoyable. Plus it had a small part for Farva from Super Troopers... so that's good.

    I watched the first half last night, and I felt one of my biggest complaints of the first few episodes of Agents of Shield was also relevant -- that they're just throwing in references to the movies for the sake of references. The two that bugged me were the Doctor Vanko and Vita Rays. Maybe they're just easter eggs for the fans, but that part of AoS rubbed me the wrong way. Will keep watching though since it's just a miniseries.

    Enjoyed it much more than Agents of SHIELD's first episode, but hard to top current episodes lol. Looking forward to more though.

    Enjoyed the show a lot. Peggy with the blond wig and that dress... yowza! Most definitely hot.

    Nice to see Ralph Garman (Hollywood Babble-On/KROQ) playing the narrator of the Captain American Adventure Hour radio using his old timey voice. Haha.

    I could do without the forced sexism since after watching Madmen it seems weak but generally I thought it was good. Nothing special stood out and it was kinda forgettable especially since they kept referencing the worst movie Marvel has made.

    Could get better since I already like the characters in this 100x more than those in Agents of Shield who are terrible.

    I enjoyed it, the forced sexism is a bit eye rolling at times, but whatever I can look over that.

    First two episodes were setup bait so I'll reserve judgement. Now the series has clearance to go full steam, we'll see how it shakes. The fight scenes were great though.

    I liked it.

    Bit confused though. Where does this sit compared to the "Agent Carter" Marvel One-Shot? Because at the end of that...

    Spoiler: show
    I thought Carter got the call to go form SHIELD with Stark and Dum-Dum Dugan. But here she's still being SSR's coffee-monkey, same as she was at the start of the One-Shot.


    Still, enjoyed it a lot. 1940s clothes are awesome, 1940s big band jazz is the best, and Hayley Atwell in a very attractive dress with tig ole bitties is also rather pleasing. And Jarvis is almost too English to exist.

    Wife and I love the show. Production quality is strangely better than that of SHIELD S1. They didn't do a lot of pushing for this advertising-wise, so I ended up missing the premiere.

    You must not watch any college football because it's been all over every bowl game that was on ABC or ESPN for the last month.

    I spend most of my time working on various projects and sitting in a lab, so no. I haven't.

    Last night's ep was pretty good. I'm sure there is more to Jarvis than what we are seeing. And it's looking like they are keeping his wife offscreen as a running gag.

    So far i am liking it. Has a very Noir feel to it which fits the time period perfectly.

    Either she's so insignificant that they don't bother to cast her (most likely), or she's being saved as some kind of big reveal (highly unlikely).
