Agent Carter: Sin to Err
February 11, 2015 5:19 AM - Season 1, Episode 6 - Subscribe
Carter and Jarvis investigate Howard Starks premature evacuations, aka past relationships, Chief Dooley gets friendly with Dr. Ivchenko, Sousa figures out that Peggy's been working behind everyone's back and tells the Chief, who sends SSR agets to round her up, but nobody puts Peggy in corner!
Except Dottie, who has wonderful visiting the dentist and catching up with old colleagues.
I'm bummed that we only have two episodes left before the Agent Skye and Other Members of SHIELD starts back up!
Random thoughts while writing up a recap:
The acting on the series has been all around great. From Peggy to Dooley and Sousa and Thompson and Angie and Dr. Ivchenko and especially Dottie, all the characters feel "alive" and help ground the show. Haley Atwell as Carter is particularly great. I've been reviewing this episode in slow-motion, for screen captures and watching the multiude of expressions that cross Atwell's face when Jarvis is first slapped by one of Stark's exes is just amazing. It goes from "oh crap, she's going to hit him" to a smug "well it serves him right for participating in Stark's foolishness" to "yeah, hit him" to "oh my god, she really smacked him" to "Oh geeze, he's not all bad" in the span of that slap. Great stuff to watch!
Sousa is Capt. America, so of course Peggy will fall in love with at some point. No, he doesn't have the crutch of the super soldier serum to make him all beefy and heroic. But there's a quiet dignity and strength that's the mark of a good character. Plus he's smart. Peggy likes smarts. And he's wounded, while clearly wanting to do better for his country and society, just like Steve. The woman is smitten!
Peggy is, by pretty much every measure, a superhero. Yet she is one that manages to avoid having an origin story. Which means we won't have to suffer through repeated viewings of it in the coming years.
There's a lot of great direction going on the show. Consider the shot where Peggy kicks the chair to Jarvis so he can jam the door. It's one smooth pan that just works.
The soundtrack is rocking, along with Peggy's stylish looks. She has the best "costumes".
I really more is done with the character, from more of these mini-series to using the older version in Agents of Shield or Marvel movies. How awesome would it be to see Nick Fury going to her for advice and her giving him a load of crap for not living up to the ideals of the agency she started.

Dear god, that shot of Dottie paused in the dentist's doorway was a thing of beauty. We backed it up just to appreciate the classic "movie star" expression on her face, the lighting, her flawless makeup and face-framing curls... Really well-done!
I love that we can see how forcefully she and Angie are acting for others in a show whose characters are subtly rounded out by comparison, and yet when the show began, the ensemble cast was much more two-dimensional. Characters like Dum Dum Dugan and Dr. Ivchenko could have come off cartoonishly in less deft hands, so my hat's off to this show. Truly one of the best series on television right now, and I know I'll miss it when it's gone.

No, it's only scheduled for 8 episodes. They'll probably wrap up this story line and end with the intention of closing down the SSR and starting SHIELD.
But a regular eight episode miniseries in the winter and summer, chronicling the further adventures of Agent Carter, would be awesome.

Episode one set up sympathy for two underappreciated characters. It's so great to watch the SSR team slowly come to recognize their mettle as Peggy demonstrates some badassery and Sousa gets solid results from dogged detective work. Having the conflict shifting a bit from Peggy/Sousa vs their peers to Peggy/Sousa vs the bad guys keeps really keeps the show interesting.

The episode was full of fun moments. If I can express one disappointment is that Howard Stark's character seems to exist in caricature. We really only had one good episode with him where we learn more about his background, but that was a fleeting moment. For the most part it seems as if it's been a case of, "O' Howard!"
I completely concur with the acting discussion above. The actors are making this show work so much.
I did not expect the sweet dreams kiss from Dottie to Peggy, especially as the moment immediately preceding it was tense (for the viewer at least) when the two confronted each other as Peggy was making her escape. I also appreciated that it didn't necessary go over as, "Oh, hey, two ladies kissing....EXPLOIT EXPLOIT." It was a sudden, surprising and effective way for Dottie to incapacitate the most dangerous person on the show.
Sousa. Unless he dies, he completely seems a good candidate to become Mr. Peggy Carter. I wonder if he's going to be mortally wounded and Peggy uses Steve's blood to save him, and thus, Captain America "saves his life." (Granted, wasn't it supposed to be during the war that he saved her future husband?)
The restaurant fight scene was well done, exploiting the quick and effective fighting action for Peggy. She's not there to put on a show, she's professional and efficient. Those boys from D.C. were warned...
Question, was there really a deal for that dude in prison or was Sousa playing a bit of the lying game the chief pulled on the Nazi back in Europe?
The Russian shrink. It does pay off to be a paranoid! Though, I was completely sure I was about to watch his head explode like a melon (right, okay, so the ABC primetime equivalent that won't emotionally scar the children - like walking into a street in front of a truck) when Dottie was sighting the windows through her scope. The one thing I thought was unnecessary was the attitude of the dentist. When he immediately came across as a creep, I turned instantly to my wife, "He's dead, and we're not supposed to feel bad about it." I think Dottie didn't need that position to have even the most minor justification for killing the guy. It would have been more her character if she had killed someone who was indeed friendly and a good person. In fact, has she killed anyone who didn't have some nefarious purpose other than the fellow classmate?
I hope that we keep getting eight season episodes of Carter that come with the solstices.

Perhaps, but a sub theme of the show is women beating the hell out of dudes who are either creepy or underestimate them.

Yes, but Dottie likes to keep her options open and maintain general proficiency in going undercover and beating the hell out creepy men.

I was pleasantly surprised to have Peggy fail to get away. Not how I expected that to go down and a very plausible and satisfying way to have Dottie try but fail to kill her. Agent Carter has had a pleasant lack of "oh, come on!" moments.

As another fanwank, I can see writing it down letter by letter for morse code so you don't have to remember what the first letter was in the sequence. Though it did seem like she was just writing the whole thing afterwards, which was weird.

I’m also feeling impatient for the next episode – I saw that it was 8:55 and was hoping that it was somehow mysteriously a two-parter. I think the last time I felt that way was the first season of orphan black.
I’m still loving the fight sequences ( the automat especially), and was glad to see Peggy and Jarvis working together. Angie was also awesome this episode – both her ‘oh, here’s the dude you have secret meetings with sitting back to back at adjoining booths’ and her cry-acting flummoxing the men. I’m hoping that Angie finds a way to reach out to Jarvis next episode and let him know what happened, since watching those two characters interact would be a treat.
And yeah, I assumed that Peggy would figure out Dottie before Dottie could get the jump on her, but I’m pleasantly surprised that didn’t happen. And surprisingly anxious about the SSR having Steve Rogers’ blood.

I seem to recall something about Marvel not wanting to do 23 straight episodes of S.H.I.E.L.D. and that's why we're having a Carter intermission. If they like how that reasoning worked out we can hold out some hope they'll do it again next year.

I really really enjoy the fighting style they've picked for Peggy. Sometimes they go for the "stronger than she looks!" balletic style (River Tam, Buffy Summers - oh hey, Joss) and sometimes it's a few fast precise kicks and punches like Dottie where it's clearly a lot of training, but Peggy fights like a brawler. She uses her physical strength and her environment and just goes for it, heavy and hard. Her fighting isn't graceful or precise, it's all about achieving a goal and staying alive. Atwell looks so aware of her environment and the odds, not in a dreamy superhuman way, but more with the experience of someone who wants to stay alive, who's physically tough and capable - like a really good soldier. And she gets slightly sweaty and mussed up when she's fighting!

I beamed when Angie said so gleefully, "I KNEW you didn't work at the phone company!" +1 for lady friendships! This episode had me on the edge of my seat; it made me genuinely nervous in places. When I checked the time and realized there were only two minutes left in the episode I was surprised; the continuous energy of this one was just fantastic, great fight scenes. I'm missing the show already and it's not over!

Yeah Peggy's fighting style, like her personality, is practical and goal-driven. She is so not afraid to just BEAT DOWN on someone. Anything it takes to get the job done.
I'm reminded of her approving look in the first cap movie when Steve demonstrated his lateral thinking skills by cutting down the flag pole rather than trying to climb up it.

Finally caught up with this one. That fight scene kicked a whole lot of ass, and the whole sequence of the SRS squad invading the boarding house, disregarding the landlady, getting played by Angie...just beautifully executed.
I really hope this show is doing well enough via the various streaming outlets to make up for the just fair broadcast ratings that I've heard it's getting, because I could stand to watch a whole lot more.

That was a fun ride of disasters and face-punching. They're doing a good job of balancing "everything is falling apart" with "these are competent and often badass spy types." Whcih is a good thing given that we have to believe not only that Peggy will get out of this but that she will redeem herself and Stark in the establishment's eyes to the point where they become the founding directors of SHIELD.
Angie was absolutely great in this episode. Dottie was horrifying, but in a good way. The dentist scene, damn.
I wonder if there's going to turn out to be some kind of hypnosis ray in the doctor's ring or if he's just supposed to be that good.

She wrote it down all at once, not even remotely as if she were recording each letter as she watched. It probably made sense in the script (either that it was scripted that she'd write it letter-by-letter or that we'd see the paper after she'd already written it down) but the decision when it was filmed was to show her writing it down all at once without any thought to what that implied -- probably because letter-by-letter would require multiple shots spread out over time as she wrote it, or a single shot of the completed message would be too static (where her writing as an activity holds more interest and urgency).
