Time and Tide

Hello and welcome fellow Marvel fans to the Snark

Industries podcast. I'm John. And I'm Remy. And

we invite you to join us as we work our way through

every Marvel TV show, movie, and crossover. Meaning

if there's a Marvel character on screen, it's

fair game. All categorized in the temporal order

of their setting. By the time we're done, we'll

have built a complete start to finish timeline

of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. To accomplish

this goal and to have a bit of fun along the

way, each episode will be split into two parts.

The watch party and the deep dive. If you're

hearing this, you found one of our watch parties.

This is where we sit down with you and experience

a piece of Marvel media together in real time,

celebrating the high points and poking fun at

the low ones, because that's what heroes do.

To get synced up, here's what you'll need to

do. Pull up the movie or episode on your screen

and pause it right as the Marvel logo is prominently

displayed. Then come back here and wait for the

three -tone countdown. On the third tone, press

play, and just like that, we'll be watching together.

Quick note, if your version includes ads, you'll

need to pause us during those breaks to stay

in sync. Once you finish watching along, we encourage

everyone to check out the deep dive as well,

where we will do an in -depth analysis of the

information we just consumed. Most importantly,

we want to thank each and every one of you for

joining us on this incredible journey. We're

not affiliated with Marvel in any way, shape,

or form. We're just fans who are passionate about

these stories and these characters and wish to

share them with everyone in a new and exciting

way. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode

of Stark Industries. Oh, that's good. Yes. Marvel.

Really had to remind us of who she is every time

they start this, huh? I've forgotten. Please

remind me. You're the only one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The cigarette guy. Yeah, the dude with the. Was

that the flux capacitor on his throat? Yeah,

that's right. Yes. The license plate. The only

car in the entire implosion. Couldn't have been

another. Leads us right back to you. Getting

some creeper vibes. Yeah, well, you know. Yeah,

well, yeah. She's got her hair in little donuts.

Okay. New tattoo idea. Yeah. Yeah. Sign me up.

My first one. There it is. Deep cut Marvel. The

big book. Oh, symbols. This one's a butt. Yeah.

What does this one mean? It this is this is a

trope and it's a trope that upsets me. Those

drainage pipes aren't made to hold human beings.

Oh, absolutely not. It was always crawling up

them. Yeah, there's a great movie called Heart

and Soul with Robert Downey Jr. Where he tries

it and it just completely fails and it's hilarious.

Good. Well, I'm glad that they're at least doing

it as it should be. Yeah. No, that's a yes. What

if he falls off and dies right there? That's

on her conscious, right? Guilt. Well, that's

an angle. Yeah. Heck of a shot. I'm not mad.

I'm disappointed. Yeah, correct. I got a switchblade.

Wow. Yeah, see? Don't make me get my Tommy gun.

Yeah, my Tommy gun don't. The passport. The passport.

Why did he have to say it like that? Yeah, he

did that on purpose. Yeah. Because people in

the 30s were racist. Well, I mean, not much has

changed. That's fair. Racism is pointed at different

people now, at least. Maybe that's progress.

No, it's not. It's not. That is the saddest breakfast

plate I've ever seen. Look at that. Look how

sad that breakfast looks. That's like half an

egg. Right. And some cottage cheese. I don't

know. I'm upset how she was jamming that toast.

I was just... I was just saying the same thing.

What's up with all these Marvel shows and doing

terrible things with food? You know, I'm starting

to wonder. Yeah. So far in the show, we are in

this series. We've seen Nick Cage peel a hot

dog and we've seen her do that with a piece of

toast. And that's just that I can think of off

the top of my head. Yeah. Don't forget that Nick

Cage used it as a telephone as well. Yeah. Yeah.

Because that was a thing. Yeah. Yeesh. Well.

Oh. Oh, boy. Kicking her out. Wow. Because she

had a little touching of the butt up there. Mm

hmm. They fonded. I did have a splendid evening.

You jerk. Well, she wasn't. Okay. Tell that to

my Tommy gun. Slightly different. Yeah. Vodka.

He just starts slapping the typewriter. Right.

Police work. Don't be that guy. Oh, hey, that's

a name we know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know who

we know. Ask me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pick me. Coach,

put me in. There he is. He's got a lacy tablecloth.

Yes, he does. It's like a massive doily. The

day beckons. His house is impenetrable. I don't

feel like that's true. He's so petty. I love

petty Jarvis. It's that stiff upper lip. Yeah.

All his buttons are buttoned too. I know some

other characters that could take some notes from

this man. Mm hmm. FBI. So do they still have

Tommy guns at this point? I think so. Forty six.

I mean, technically, they're still around now.

Well, fair, fair. Were they still? You know,

you know what? And shame on me for not doing

the research before this episode of when they

stopped using. It's smort. It's smort. Yeah,

but I reported it stolen. To lay this to rest

once and for all, the Thompson submachine gun,

more commonly known as the Tommy gun. was used

from 1921 to the 1970s. Oh, whoa. Yeah. That

is so much later than I expected. So we can use

the Tommy gun joke a lot more times is what I'm

getting at. Here's hoping. Yeah. Poor man. Oh,

oh, for that reason. Yeah. Why'd you tell her

if you couldn't go? Well, why not? Ooh, yikers.

Snap. They really have a lot of choice, to be

fair. Yeah, right. Pretty amusing that she was

in the car with them. She's behind the glass.

Well, kind of. Except for you found all of it.

Well, not all of it. Oh, the bumper. Yeah, that's

right. That's right. That's what fell off. Yeah,

yeah. I don't love how his feet are on that desk.

Yeah, yeah. He's a little too comfortable. Yeah.

This is serious business here, Buster. I don't

feel like he means it. Yeah. A dozen. I don't

think you need that many, but maybe. I mean,

one for every field, right? I suppose so. Well,

now you made a mess. That was just rude. How

did he get that folder back? He just pushed it

in the floor. Phone plug. I saw it when he was...

Talking before, I was wondering if there were

two. I think the other one just had the picture.

We'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He's

got the important one and the not important one.

He's just being a prick. Well, yeah. He's doing

that awkward shoulder massage thing. Yeah, it

got weird real quick. Please don't touch me.

And get up out of my space with your short ass

tie. Yeah. Well, that's not how that works. Does

he? I don't know if that's what butlers do. Good

one What a goob Would she have him sign that?

Oh, would she just take? Yeah. How do you not

know? She should be a spy. She should be a spy.

With moves like that, what if they gave her her

own shield and made her a captain? What if? Right.

See what I did. What if? I did. I did. Don't

touch me. Why is everybody touching me? I'm so

touchy. Bold move. Let's just stay here and stare

at each other. Why is he so short? Yeah, don't

extend your arms that much. Especially with shoulder

pads. Yeah, you look very silly. Yeah, you did.

Another long and knowing look. Going for intimidation.

Not working. I'm sorry. Get out of here. Oopsie

poopsie. Which unfortunately for her is just

going to kind of lead more into the theories

of incompetence that her. Peers already have.

Yeah. There's a body in there. Right. The new

robot. Close my symbol book. Man, see who does

that at a party. Rhubarb pie sounds awful. Dude,

take that back. Rhubarb pie is excellent. You

know, I do like a good pie, so we'll leave judgment

out for now. I'll have to try and get confirmation.

Hard to get because rhubarb goes bad so fast.

Underwood. Donnie. She's somebody shady. I feel

like it, yeah. Ballet. Red Room. Huh? Huh? Mm

-hmm. I'm going to have schnapps and pie. I don't

trust her at all. No. She's too bubbly. She's

too chipper. Too convenient. For the impenetrable

house. Thank you. I've got my stealth action

suit on. Okay. There's a hole. There's a hole.

There's a hole in the middle of the room. Oh,

man. Oh, fancy knots. Yeah, not bad. Oh, get

out. We each get one, right? That's fair. Oh,

that's sewer water. He just stepped in it with

his fancy galoshes. Right. But I want to. That

doesn't look quite as dirty as I would expect.

Gross. That's clever. Not a lot when you're with

that, dude. No. Not enough. A sock? A nickel's

worth of free advice. Wow. Yeah. Just call me

a cripple and get on with it, huh? Yeah, yeah.

That didn't take long. Curiosity killed the Carter.

Wow. I mean, fair, but wow. She's got a point.

Oh, he pronounced it right. Budapest. You and

I remember Budapest very differently. Hmm. Well,

for a good reason. What a good man, Jarvis. Yeah.

Honorable deed. Yeah. Yeah, why don't you tell

it? I mean, his influence is the big room full

of money like Scrooge McDuck. Yeah, right. Mm

hmm. Yeah, this thing called lying by omission.

Starbreaker. Dream maker. There's a boat. Yup.

It's Starbreaker. You know, I gathered I gathered

I did follow that line. Bring your own weapon.

Well, he did. Y .O .G. It was funny when people

go and do stuff, how they just wait till they

are there and doing it to slap the magazine into

a gun. Mm -hmm. We got somebody shady. Is that

her detective buddy? Got a flashlight in my satchel.

She's got a jumpsuit on. She's really ready for

whatever. Oh, look, it's the symbol. It's the

symbol. It really is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You didn't notice that, I did, though. Oddly

enough, not in the symbol book. Spit a little

WD -40 on that door there. Well, looky here.

Well, how do you do? Crates on crates on crates.

Start crates. What you want. Yeah, especially

glowing. Yeah. That's the opposite of what's

good. Gamma. Gamma. It would be. Yeah. Damn.

Well, yeah. No. Honey, no. They're not gonna

do that. Yeah. It's a really cool shot. We've

seen this play out before. Mm -hmm. From the

shadows. Assassino! So, make a different voice.

Hello, this is a concerned citizen. I love that

we went the opposite side of the spectrum. Just

a pal. Just a pal. Right. Just a pal. Oh, yeah.

Bring your sandwich. I'm eating here. Oh, he

left the sandwich. It's going to be soggy by

the time you get back. Eat it in the car. Nobody

likes a soggy sandwich. There's just a guy and

a wife beater. Interesting. Definitively not

a pal. Yeah, yeah. He's anti -pal. Oh, well,

that's not what you're supposed to do with your

gun. Oh. I mean, I know you're supposed to follow

through with your punch, but when there's a steel

wall behind, don't do that. She's got her tactical

suit on. You're no match. Oh. That's not pleasant.

No. Oh, the pal is back. You done pissed him

off is what you did. Oh, dear. For back massages.

I got bum nards now. Oh, God. Oh, no. Oh, I hate

it. That's the worst. Oh, oh, that's not better.

Insult added to injury. Surprised his arm isn't

still seizing up. Yeah, it should still be going.

His unconsciousness has nothing to do with whatever

that thing was doing. Yeah, the blood flow or

the muscle twitches or whatever shouldn't shouldn't

be affected by his state of consciousness. The

passengers carrying the cherry. I'm a cap. The

one boat. Just one single boat. Yeah. That's

the important one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Goo goo

ga ga. The star stuff. Yeah. I mean, the guy's

got a point. Yeah. I mean, there are some people

that don't. But they aren't many. Fair, fair.

You're going to jail, pal. No broken bones in

the arm, huh? They looked kind of broken for

a second, but never mind. Yeah. He's got a healing

factor. Best not to question the official story.

No, he got knocked out. So it stopped working.

Yes. They take whatever the worst injury is.

Right. Fair, fair. Yeah. Yeah. Just load it all

in a van. Yeah. Uh -oh. Uh -oh. No, his arm is

broken. See? Way to jump to conclusions, Remy.

Fair enough. Fair enough. I was wrong. The car

coming up behind them, though. That's bad news.

Yep, they're riding awful close. Oh, no. Yep,

there he goes. He's going to start pushing. They

don't care about that guy. He's going to... Oh,

oh, oh. Oh, man. I'm not going to say I like

that guy, but I didn't wish that on him. Yeah,

I thought that train was going to be more of

a relevant piece of this story. Yeah, I totally

thought he was just going to get up on him and

start pushing. Yeah. Boy, that's a that's a way

to end it. Oh, that's not the end. Never mind.

That's a way to sort of continue the story. Oh,

having a cry over there. Mm hmm. What is happening?

No, I'm guessing they're sad that their coworkers

did. Very quiet. Yeah. He looked like he was

sleeping. There's flowers and dirt. I got a jar

of dirt. That's how Sandman was made, right?

That's right. Yeah, that's kind of a sippy cup

move that you guys did, really. Mm -hmm. Look

at that tie. Oh, that's the shortest one yet,

I think. He's flying at half -mast because of

the dead guy. Well, that's not fair. Yeah, man,

what a speech to make. I can't shorten this tie

up any more than I already have. So you guys

better stay alive. Tell you the tail's going

into my pants. She's having a rough couple of

days. Well, she's been having a rough entire

series. Fair enough. Oh, come on, Annie. Well,

she wouldn't drink the schnapps and rhubarb pie.

I'd be mad too. Every so often, you gotta have

a night. Angie. Yep. You're at work. Mm -mm.

Waitress, where's my eggs? Jeez. Oh, man. You're

a pretty good guy. Yeah. There you go. Yep. You're

at work. Let me get this customer who's paying

my wages his drink. Right. That's what you meant

to say, Angie. Yeah, Angie. God. Teach you about

something rude. Auto Matt. It reminds me of the

TVA. Yeah. Well, they really screwed the pooch

on that one. Indeed. To the deep dive. Thank

you for joining us in this episode of the Snark

Industries podcast. To join the conversation

and further explore the Marvel Cinematic Universe

with us, head on over to snarkindustriespod .com.

The link will be in the show notes. But with

that, we will see you in the next adventure.

Who's that girl? It's Jess.

Hello and welcome, fellow Marvel fans, to the

Snark Industries podcast. I'm John. And I'm Remy.

And we invite you to join us as we work our way

through every Marvel TV show, movie, and crossover.

Meaning if there's a Marvel character on screen,

it's fair game. All categorized in the temporal

order of their setting. By the time we're done,

we'll have built a complete start -to -finish

timeline of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

To accomplish this goal and to have a bit of

fun along the way, each episode will be split

into two parts, a watch party and a deep dive.

If you're hearing this, you found one of our

deep dives. This is where we slow things down

and take a more pragmatic, in -depth look at

a piece of Marvel media. We'll walk through the

full plot, explore connections to the wider MCU

and Marvel comics, highlight Easter eggs, unpack

lore, and of course, give you our own personal

thoughts and feelings. Although this episode

stands on its own, it is designed to complement

the watch party. So, if you haven't watched along

with us yet, we highly recommend starting there

first and coming back here for the full breakdown.

Most importantly, we want to thank each and every

one of you for joining us on this incredible

journey. We're not affiliated with Marvel in

any way, shape, or form. We're just fans who

are passionate about these stories and these

characters and wish to share them with everyone

in a new and exciting way. So, sit back, relax,

and enjoy this episode of Stark Industries. Hello,

ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Snark

Industries Deep Dive. We just watched Agent Carter,

Time and Tide, Season 1, Episode 3. John, why

don't you tell us what that was about? Yeah,

so we have Agent Carter who is continuing to

sort of play this double agent. By day, she's

working along the other agents at the SSR and

sort of having to receive the short end of the

patriarchy stick there in that case. And the

rest of the time, she's sort of working behind

the scenes to find and deal with Stark's inventions

that were stolen, which is kind of the whole

crux of this and why he's on the lam, so to speak.

As she's doing so, she comes across this symbol

that the in the previous episode, for those that

recall, was scratched into the dirt as one of

these. Leviathan question mark agent scratches

into the dirt with his with his dying breath.

And she's got big books. Oh, symbols, which I

mean, who doesn't have a copy of that on their

bookshelf that she's searching through to figure

out. She's trying to figure out what this symbol

means, what it's for, and ultimately is not having

a lot of luck in that case. This is all why she's

sort of taken up her new residence here in this

sort of all women's home. And we have this really

kind of funny scene where this man's like crawling

up a drain pipe and goes to her window, but he's

really looking for somebody else. And she just

closes the window on him. And the next day that

woman gets kicked out because they're practicing

purity culture at this women's home. And that's

a whole thing. And somehow that interchange of

this woman getting kicked out because this place

is impenetrable. And she says, no place is impenetrable.

And it was a lot of talk about penetration when

there was just a man sneaking upstairs. So I

don't know how to feel about that, but that's

what happened. And ultimately, she wants to go

to Jarvis. Oh, you know they fondued it. They

fondued it. She wants to go to Jarvis and try

to have this idea. Ultimately, she decides that

this means that this vault that these inventions

were stolen from would have been penetrated in

a different way than the door. Unfortunately

for her, in the meantime, due to the finding

of the license plate in the wreckage of the explosion

that happened, Jarvis is brought in for questioning

as the license plate leads back to him through

way of being in Stark's name. Obviously the only

car. Yeah. Well, Stark's known for only having

one car, to be fair. So they've got him in an

interrogation room and ultimately they bring

up. This dishonorable discharge, kind of a new

nuance to Jarvis' character that we didn't have

before. They're really pressing on. I'm talking

about exporting is not the word I'm looking for.

How do you get kicked out of a country? What's

that called? Why am I dumb right now? Deporting.

Deporting. Yes. There was some kind of porting.

Deporting both he and his wife due to this. And

Jarvis about to crack until Agent Carter steps

in and does. And it's not super clear to me exactly

what she goes and talks to one of the agents

who's sort of on the outside of the room looking

in. And you see her kind of grab some paperwork

there, walks off to it, and is still standing

there from where she was walking off when the

door opens and Jarvis sees her. And then she

says, oopsie, I misplaced this file. And so they

just let him go. Yeah. And it's not really fleshed

out very well. And also, that's not at all how

anything works. So I don't understand what they

were trying to do there. Maybe I missed something.

I even tried to do some research on the back

end and I can't find anything that makes this

make sense in my head other than just something

to drive the narrative along. So Jarvis is loosed

from from this place, from these clutches of

the SSR, who thinks that he and Howard, of course,

are the bane of. Which may be true. Who knows?

But he is free for now. And ultimately, he and

Peggy end up getting together later to sort of

penetrate this vault, as we were saying before,

now that Jarvis is free. And they open the vault

door and see this big hole in the ground. And

see, that's how they did it. And lower themselves

down into the sewers to sort of follow along

where this might have went. As they're doing

so. At first, you know, after having learned

all this stuff about the dishonorable discharge,

you know, Peggy says, I don't need to know about

that. You know, that's your business. I trust

you. You're fine. And not 30 seconds later, she's

like, I need to know about it. And he presses

back on it a little bit. It ultimately says,

you know, Mr. Stark, trust me, that should be

sufficient. In which case I would say, yeah.

And she's like, no, he's a horse or whatever.

Like it very much pushes Jarvis into revealing

this sort of secret. And ultimately, we find

out that he is dishonorably discharged for forging

a general's signature to be able to get who is

now his wife, I believe, right? This is this

Anna person. That was the one I picked up, yeah.

Yeah, who was Jewish and, you know, with all

the things that were going on, needed a signature

to be able to leave and go to ultimately where

they are now. And the general wouldn't do it,

so he forged the signature, got caught, and ultimately,

when both of them could have been killed for

that, really. Just a dishonorable discharge because

Howard, quote unquote, used his influence to

get him out of the bind and ultimately, I suppose,

make him his butler. A .K .A. money. Yeah, yeah.

He flunked, I said, he used his Scrooge McDuck

room and got it done. Yeah, yeah. His money power.

Yeah, so, you know, he's able to get her out

of there, out of Budapest. That's right. We had

a little bit of Budapest talk. Oh, that's right.

During that thing. And saved him and her. And

that was ultimately the reason for his dishonorable

discharge. And so we get that little bit of story,

which honestly, you know, I love it. Jarvis is

the best boy and they keep showing that that's

true. So they move there anyway. They keep moving

through these sewer lines and ultimately find

a boat in a harbor as they kind of exit the other

end of them that has this symbol that she had

seen etched into the ground is etched onto the

side of the ship. How convenient. And they go

into it, and it is indeed laden with Stark's

missing tech. Yeah, Stark's missing tech. They

go to check it out and see what's happening.

She wants to take credit for it, but Jarvis convinces

her that in doing so, the other members of the

SSR will use it to bury her and not believe her

that this exonerates Stark, but instead that

she's in cahoots with him. There are cahoots

being had. So, you know, she convinces him instead

to go and make an anonymous call into the SSR

to basically give them the credit for finding

it. Because, you know, that way everyone's kind

of safe, you know, in that case of the people

that are here that we care about. As he's out

doing this, this very large goon comes in. I'm

not sure exactly what it is. We assume. given

the information at hand somehow tied into this

Leviathan story arc, which isn't fully fleshed

out yet. I think that it's by design a little

bit mysterious. Sure, sure. He and Carter kind

of do battle in this room, ultimately, and he's

getting the upper hand on her, really, and Jarvis

shows up and tries to help, and then he's getting

the upper hand of Jarvis, and then she pokes

him in the back with a piece of Stark tech that

makes his arm go all crazy and break, and then...

gets slapped in the head. He's unconscious. And

so they both leave him there with this Stark

tech. He's slapped in the head by a pipe. Yeah,

with a pipe. Yeah, correct. So the SSR agents

then show up. This guy's laid out on the floor,

knocked out or whatever. At this point, Carter

and Jarvis are already gone. So they, oh, look,

this is crazy. So they round up the tech. They

arrest the guy. The tech is en route back to

the SSR headquarters be looked at, to be dissected,

to figure out what it is. And one of the agents,

Agent Krasinski, Krasinski, it's a mouthful.

I'm not good with words, but that. It's a good

thing you do a podcast. Yeah, correct. I'm the

best at words. Puts this Leviathan question mark

goon in the car with him and is taking it back

and is talking to him about how. Poor the interrogation

is going to be for him when he gets there, which

is just a whole mood. And then we see these headlights

kind of pop up behind them, rear ends them a

little bit as they're going down the road. We

had a brief moment where we thought they were

going to get hit by a train. That was a red herring.

Krasinski gets out of the car and this guy that

was in the other vehicle steps out, shoots him

three or four times with a silenced pistol of

some kind. and then steps up to the window and

also kills this goon, getting in and leaving

the scene scot -free, effectively. And then,

you know, as we kind of end the episode, we have

Peggy coming into work the next day. Everyone's

having a cry and an emotion about Krasinski and

his death, which is fair, you know, even if it

wasn't necessarily the best of guys, you know,

in terms of what all they were doing. But ultimately...

you know, kind of realizes what all the happened

and, you know, whether it's best or not best,

their actions, they are kind of not cause this

directly, but I think that that's something she's

sort of wrestling with. And Suze is all sus about

the phone call and where it came from. Right.

Exactly. Yeah. Something. Yeah. It's all kind

of sus. And the kind of the very last thing that

we have is sort of the head of this SSR, which

I believe is this agent Dooley. Yeah. Steps out

and is basically like. All right. This was all

because of Howard Stark. He may not have pulled

the trigger, but Krasinski is dead because of

him. So we're going to double our efforts of

making sure we bring him to justice, which is

honestly just a wild leap. Yeah. Given everything

that's happened. But that's where he is. And

that's where the episode ends. Yeah. Yeah. So

outside of plot, in terms of tie in to the MCU,

of course, we've got Peggy, who's a direct tie

in herself. and everything else. But other than

that, really, this is kind of a standalone story

that happens post -Captain America, but doesn't

seem to tie in with any future projects, as we've

had the privilege of seeing a lot of those things.

So unless they're going to do something in the

future, this kind of thread of the timeline kind

of goes off on its own. But of course, like I

said, Peggy herself is a prominent figure in

the MCU, and so a very direct tie -in. with Steve's

story and with the MCU at large. Right. So why

don't you tell us a little bit about comic tie

-ins and Easter eggs for this episode? Sure.

There's not a whole lot, unfortunately, but you

know, we've got to talk about Peggy being, you

know, more of a footnote character and now getting

her own show. I know we kind of discussed that

in the previous two episodes, but it's good to

see her coming into her own. There is a lot of

mention of Leviathan still. We're still working

with that. And a reminder there, it is the. Third

arm, we've got Shield, Hydra and Leviathan. Leviathan

is the one that did not survive. So maybe we

see, you know, a little bit more tie in. Maybe

maybe the show is the reason Leviathan doesn't

survive. But as far as comic polls, that's really

the best I got for you today. I did catch a couple

of small Easter eggs. The dead don't walk. This

was made at the same time as The Walking Dead.

So it's kind of a jab for the the current airing

shows. The Griffith, the impenetrable building

is actually a real building called the Barbizon.

Yeah. Peggy's strict woman's hotel is modeled

after the real Barbizon hotel for women in Manhattan.

So. That's weird. Yeah. Fun. Fun. Yeah. Yeah.

And then, of course, we we hear of Roxanne a

lot still because that's where the implosion

happened. And Roxanne is a massive thing in the

comics. So I guess that could be kind of from

the comic polls as well. But regardless, still

kind of an Easter egg because we haven't gotten

a whole lot about it. So as far as Easter eggs

and polls, that's pretty much all I got for this

one. What do you think? Yeah. So I've been enjoying

Agent Carter thus far. But I got to be honest,

this episode felt a little disjointed from what's

happened so far. Yeah. The writing felt a little

sloppier than what we've had thus far and everything,

especially like I said, I mean, we talked a little

bit about it in the recap. You know, this this

whatever happened where she got Jarvis out of

this pinch, which he was in a real bind here.

Mm hmm. Because obviously he was discharge. Yeah,

because he was indeed there to talk about exportation,

a .k .a. deportation. Now that my brain's working

again. But, you know, this this idea that whatever

she did, I mean, it's just. That to me, that's

just some kind of lazy, lazy writing or something,

or at least very not explained very well. If

they had a if they had a legitimate idea, they

didn't explain it to a point where me or you,

even with research, could figure out. How this

happened or how it was relevant to a point where

they could just say, oh, OK, you can leave now,

even though we had you dead to rights 30 seconds

ago. Right. Just kind of confusing in terms of

that and everything. It was kind of cool to see

a little bit of Jarvis's history. I said Jarvis

is a very fun and important character that we

kind of had, you know, kind of a new take on

in the future when we have the original Iron

Man movie where he's like this AI assistant or

whatever. So it's really cool still to see him,

the actual Butler Jarvis, and have his story

kind of expanded a little bit and everything

else. Really, really interesting. So I did like

that portion of it, at least. The action scene

with the fight between Peggy and the goon was

cool. But like I said, the storyline itself just

didn't seem to flow in the same way to me for

this episode specifically. So I wouldn't say

it's bad. It just feels, like I said, just disjointed,

just a little lackluster comparatively. You know,

it didn't lead me to a point where I'm like wondering

what's happening next, because what I'm wondering

is happening next here is the same exact thing

I was wondering what was happening next in the

previous episode. So why is this episode even

really here? You know, it's almost like filler,

a filler episode. It does feel that way. Yeah.

So, well, I mean, you just kind of showed your

hand a little bit, but I'll kick the ball back

over to you. Tell me how you feel about it. Yeah,

I'm in the same boat. It felt a little bit too

convenient. It it felt like your typical CSI

show that you you've kind of the clues are told

to you from the start. And it's just I don't

care for that kind of storytelling. So I did

not love this episode, though. That being said,

I do agree with you. I love seeing Jarvis. I

love seeing him. And actually, you know what?

Come to think of it, I don't know if I mentioned

that in the last two episodes or not. But Jarvis,

as most people know him from the the MCU and

then Vision. Jarvis is a real person in the comics.

He is the butler. So to see him as a physical

butler is is fantastic, as you were saying. And

I I don't know that I called that out because

it's so I don't just Jarvis is so separate. The

two entities are so separate to me. I didn't

even didn't even put two and two together that

the people might not know that. So it's fun to

see. Jarvis as the real character, as you said,

and to get his backstory and to see how much

he cares about his wife is really endearing for

the character. That is like his one true, true

weak spot. And I say that in a good way, of course,

you know, as heroes have weak spots. Absolutely.

We all have our kryptonite. Yeah, absolutely.

But yeah, Peggy doing her thing. It's a lot of

fun to watch. I like her as a character. Haley

Atwell is fantastic as her. So, you know, I'm

having fun, but this was not the strongest episode

they've put forth yet. So, you know, yeah, good

part of the story, but not great on its own.

Well, you know, sometimes you have those. And

ultimately, at the end of the day, if this is

a series that's done and complete that we're

going to be watching here together with you all.

And I do believe that once this is all said and

done, this, this will be a fun series overall.

So not every episode can be a, can be a ringer.

And this one I don't think is, but, uh, still

worth the watch. Uh, like I said, there's definitely

some entertaining parts of it. Uh, the fight

scene especially was, was, was pretty cool seeing.

Yeah. Yeah. That was good. Uh, you know, seeing

that kind of inaction there and everything. Um,

so not perfect, but worth it. Yeah. Right. On

to the next. Thank you for joining us in this
