Peggy’s husband is now in this bizarre realm of quasi-canon due to the Endgame crew’s refusal to give a straight answer on whether Cap staying with her created a new timeline or it was always the same one.

Jemma doing Peggy Carter cosplay was something she always dreamed off.
I love the show using the period appropriate movie references. In 30s they went to speakeasy. In 50s it’s an invasion of face snatching robots from space. Or alien commies from the future. And that title was perfect.
I appreciate that there was some fallout for the whole Malick thing. While that episode could have done more with the whole thing there’s at least some weight behind stuff. Though I feel Deke wanting to not be that person from the Lighthouse would maybe have held more weight if he had ever actually apologized for the…
LMD Coulson giving someone the Voight-Kampff test? *chef’s kiss* That some A+ geekery.
I remembered one other thing I wanted to say. There was a comment on another episode recap that said George McGovern didn’t do anything and was unimportant. This is not true. He was one of our last great liberals. As a senator he refused to sign legislation authorizing weapons use, he was firmly against the…
I’ve been interested to read your recaps. I’m in my 60s, and lived through all of this as a young feminist activist. I understand how a lot of this flummoxes you who didn’t live through it, so I’ll say just a few things, hoping it will give you some context. These are in no particular order, just the points that come…
Hm, it’s more because I’m queer and I find it really hard to relate to a character that finds it hard to understand her queer son’s humanity. I guess I should’ve made that more queer, I mean clear.
This show is 100% up my alley and aligned with my interests but I’d recommend it to just about anyone for the casting, costumes, and soundtrack alone.
For me, the big problem with this episode was that while Betty Friedan is an interesting character, the show’s approach with her really isn’t. For the past episodes, they have treated as this blunt, oblivious object, so it really struggled then to suddenly those necessary layers to her. Because of that, it didn’t…
When is it non-consistent? The only time we saw fake Darlene - in 80s sitcom - neither us nor Mastermind-Elliot believed it was real for even a moment. From the very beging of the show - the I’m your sister reveal in season 1 - what Darlene says cuts through Elliot’s delusions and lies and memory-lapses. What she says…
This answer isn't clever, just the equivalent of a smirking jackass etc.
I don’t think the show confirmed that everything we were watching was all delusion or fantasy. The show had plenty of scenes from perspective of other characters which I’d argue made it clear that the stuff with f-society, E-Corp, and Whitehall actually happened.
I loved they finally used Mr. Roboto. We deserved this. We waited long enough. But it also nicely underlined the fakeness of that happy Washington Township. The town out of billboard.
And then he’s in the real world, staring Darlene in the face, and he realizes that she’s the one he can’t lie to. She brings out the best in him, even when he doesn’t want to admit it.
I’m not sure how I feel about this although the final bits did bring me back from not liking it. Just because everything that happened in the series didn’t happen to the Real Eliot. He never knew anyone in Fsociety or met Shayla or went through any of many deaths and traumas that happened over the course of the…
I didn’t know for sure that Irving was coming back but I can’t say that him randomly being in an airport store shilling was all that surprising.
I still believe it could have something to do with some sort of control over time. I don’t blame her for her twisted motivation, considering that all she have done is to get some semblance of her lover back, no matter the cost.
It looks to me, more and more with every mention and promise in this episode, that Whiterose’s machine is some kind of VR or like a San Junipero - post-death tech transcendence. You can have any world you can dream of there. All your wishes would come true. Nothing will ever hurt. The personal paradise that fakes all…
Yeah...no thanks on this twist. While this show has gotten darker and darker in a thriller type of way, this is a very different type of dark, and I find it too unsettling to the point of it feeling out of place for this show. It also puts a very different spin on all of the earlier seasons and really sucks most of…
