Ok, so this week I guess I have to completely disagree with Ben. I thought Episode 3 was the best episode of the miniseries yet. We had a clear character arc for Peggy, sticking a very nice landing at the end with her in the diner, reconnecting with her friend (from Hydra? Really? I hope not, but you’re probably right); we had major character and emotional revelations re: Jarvis; and we had fun, X-File-ish action with our two intrepid heroes. I think, as you hinted, you are both letting the circumstances of its airing unfairly color your perception of it. Also, I think Marvel’s “post-credits stinger” has spoiled you – you can’t be satisfied with a nice, tidy ending any more! You treat this episode’s conclusion as though it’s a weakness they had to resort to… do you really give the MCU folks no credit, after all this time, for being able to plot and write a story exactly as they intend? Tough crowd. (*Especially* if Angie is from Hydra!)
“It was nice enough,” says Daniel. Ouch!
All that said, I enjoyed your discussion! I said the exact same thing Ben did re: the “impenetrable” building. Ha! I am relieved to hear that the thing with Jarvis’ file wasn’t exactly clear to you guys, either… it took me a while to get it, and my wife had to explain it to me (it was clear to her, at least).
I will say my excitement for next week could not be higher!
