Road to Endgame Revisit #2: My original plan was to re-watch the entire first season of "Agent Carter". Things changed when I realized that the first season actually had eight episodes, when I'd thought there were six episodes. I'm also finding I have less time available in the evenings than I'd...

The probable cancellation of "Conviction" makes further live action appearances of Atwell as Agent Carter more likely, but I don't think anybody wants ABC's castoffs. It certainly doesn't help that Disney's never been aggressive about leveraging ancillary revenue streams for its Marvel TV...

I would put the second season of "Agent Carter" ahead of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." (which I just don't care for) but behind "Jessica Jones" S1 and "Daredevil" S2. I thought the show suffered from the move to LA from NYC, especially as the tone lightened, and I thought the additional two episodes...

Given that her brother's death is what pushed her into joining the SSR, and given that her niece Sharon is way younger than you'd expect the niece of someone her age to be, I figured there had to be more to that story. Either Peggy's brother secretly survived and had a kid in his late sixties...

The action scenes in the Netflix series are unquestionably better executed, including fights with extended takes that go on for minutes. But they tend to be on single sets or confined spaces. You don't have as heavy of a visual effects/special effects component, with far fewer explosions and no...

I've often wondered how the budget for the Netflix Marvel series compare to the ABC Marvel series. The technical proficiency of the Netflix series seem much greater, and they benefit from having the real New York City as a backdrop. But in terms of stunts and big FX sequences, the ABC shows are...

Agent Carter Cancelled as ABC Orders Hayley Atwell Vehicle 'Conviction' to Series

I would like to see them jump ahead into the fifties and do a no-holds-barred Cold War thriller. They sort of gingerly touched upon those themes this season, and then backed away.

If it comes back, I actually hope it's for a shorter episode count; maybe say around six episodes. I found the first season to be tighter than the second in terms of storytelling.

I also greatly preferred the first season, which seemed a lot tighter. When the world expanded for the second season, it seemed strangely diluted. And the story arc of Peggy coming to terms with Steve's disappearance and (to her) certain death grounded the story emotionally in a way that this...

I agree with you. For me, so far it's: 1) Daredevil 2) Jessica Jones 3) Marvel's Agent Carter 4) Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ...where "Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones" are absolutely phenomenal, and "Agent Carter" has a lot to recommend it. "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." I could honestly take or...

Tonight's episode was far and away the best episode this season. The humor all landed, and the imminent threat of the atomic bombs was a potent reminder than the real horrors we've invented are scarier than any comic book doomsday device. I'm pretty sure my theory about Violet being a spy was...

Thanks for deciphering my muddled terminology and providing such a great technical explanation of what's causing the effect, Joel!

I liked tonight's episode better than the two-part premiere. There was less plot shoved in, so the characters were given room to breathe. And Dominic Cooper is just phenomenal as Howard Stark, and the writers on this show really know how to write for the character. After having him be on the...

Well, the two-hour premiere was tonight. The good news is that the stuff that worked in the first season still works in the second season. Every moment Peggy and Jarvis are onscreen together is a pleasure. The bad news is that the new stuff is more of a mixed bag. One thing that these first...

Season 2 Synopsis from ABC: Not sure I like East Coast and West Coast Chiefs; it makes Thompson and Sousa seem too high up the food chain within the SSR. I figured that Thompson (and Dooley before him) were the chief of the New York office, and that Sousa was going to be chief of the Los...

The announcement that President Obama's final State of the Union speech will air on January 12th means that the premiere of "Agent Carter" has been pushed back two weeks to January 19th, since they don't want to lose any momentum generated by the premiere.

Thanks for sharing, Sam. That trailer was better than the first one, but I wish ABC wouldn't promote this as a fluffy wham-bam period piece. There's a lot of depth to the show, but you'd never know it from the marketing.

First Season 2 promo:

Entertainment Weekly has a bunch of Season 2 casting news: Wynn Everett ("The Newsroom") has been cast as Whitney Frost, the upcoming season's Big Bad. Madame Masque in the comics, the character has been reconceived as a Hedy Lamarr-esque Hollywood actress and brilliant inventor. As the...

A little awkwardly photoshopped, but I love the 40s Hollywood Golden Age glamour influence.

Good news. The first season of "Agent Carter" was apparently a big hit for FOX UK, so they've negotiated a much shorter delay between the US and UK debuts. The second season will premiere in the UK in "early 2016." The biggest contributor to the delay for the first season was finding a...

/Film has a good interview with co-showrunner Tara Butters and executive producer Chris Dingess in which they reveal that the Season 2 villain will be: Other interesting bits from the interview: The character's move from New York City to Hollywood, in addition to opening up fertile...

Comic Book Resources has a brief but good interview with "Agent Carter" showrunners Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas along with their longtime EP Chris Dingess. We know that Peggy Carter got married and had a family in the decades between Cap crashing into the Arctic and and being found and...

Entertainment Weekly has the Season 2 Comic-Con poster and the first real tidbits from Season 2 An unusual case that's outside the LAPD's purview is what will bring the New York CIty SSR agents to the West Coast. Unlike the first season, where Carter was constantly trying to prove herself to...

James D’Arcy and Enver Gjokaj confirmed for Season 2, Lyndsy Fonseca in talks to return

I guess Velma's "good authority" is legit. At Comicpalooza in Houston, Hayley Atwell apparently confirmed that the second season had been expanded to 10 episodes.

If true, that's still a reasonable number, giving the show a "Game of Thrones" length season. But I wouldn't want the episode count to go any higher than that.

Official Season 2 Synposis from ABC: I'm not opposed to the geographic move, but I can't help but wonder whether it was a cost saving move, since making Los Angeles look like 1940s/1950s Lost Angeles has to be cheaper than making Los Angeles look like 1940s/1950s Manhattan. I do hope that...

As loath as I am to cheer the cancellation of a show that I'm sure plenty of other people enjoy, ABC's decision not to renew "Ressurrection" means that Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters should be able to focus all of their attention on "Agent Carter" this next season instead of ping ponging back...
