Did nobody else notice the sly little Easter Egg concerning Coulson making sure Skye had a good supply of Little Debbie snack cakes?

Oh, the painful irony that Peggy is finally, FINALLY starting to get the respect she deserves from her male compatriots…right before she becomes a wanted fugitive next week. I guess the blade of being considered competent cuts both ways.

There need be nothing that extreme. She's probably ensconced at one of Howard's other places. Or one of his other other places.

I'd just like to point out that "Mrs. Jarvis"'s voice sounded an awful lot like a man speaking in falsetto, for the benefit of any bugs that might be planted around. Nor did it have the slightest trace of the kind of European accent she really ought to have given Jarvis's story in the storm drain. Between this and

I would bet money that it's going to turn out Jarvis's "wife" is actually Howard Stark laying low. This would explain why Peggy is so angry at Stark in the previews, and also free up Jarvis as a possible romantic interest for Peggy.

Nope, you have to read it. Here.

The red sky meant it was sunrise or sunset. I'm positive he's still on Earth.

He was also a bit of audience misdirection to make you think the Earth portion of the show was going to be about the guy being stirred to investigate and Discover The Truth about what his father did all those years before…instead of being the one secretly running the operation.

They made it clear in the show that it stands for "No Future."

With the star cluster where they'd "die" being all evil red, and the "good" cluster being all nice and blue.

Given the way the show likes to toy with audience expectations, and there was nothing shown in the scene that couldn't have been out in the painted deserts on Earth, AND one of the classic sci-fi stories the show seems to like to homage pulled this exact same stunt (seriously, read Heinlein's "…And He Built a Crooked

Most other reviews (like mine) manage it by discussing what they can without it, then carrying on after some spoiler protection.

I doubt it's a "distant planet."

Discrimination against a class kind of requires there being enough faceless people you don't know to make up that class to be discriminated against. If only a handful of African-Americans were selected for inclusion on the ship, they'd be known to everyone else as individuals.

There are 600 people on the ship, and we really got to see relatively few of them. My suspicion is there might be some deck that's a retirement home where all the oldies go. When the kids talked about getting to see the new planet when they were old, it sounded like they had expectations of living to be old.

I found it interesting to see how the parallels to World War II are continuing, what with Tenzin and the Fire Lord advocating appeasement. It kind of helps you understand how people back in the '30s could have been so naive, to see the characters on the screen acting exactly the same way…even if at the same time you

Well, with the royal pinkie rings long gone, what's left to enforce such a promise?

D'ya suppose he might be an elderly Foaming Mouth Guy, the first guy Aang impressed with that trick?

It's worth noting that this is the most we've seen of elderly Katara at once in the entire series. It's good to get the chance to see how she turned out. It makes an interesting contrast when we see Toph again.

It rhymes with the Last Airbender episode "The Swamp". Which was also about a swamp where people had spiritual visions. And, in fact, that's where Aang first "met" Toph. So it's kind of fitting this is where Korra first meets her, too.
