Agent Carter - Season 2

[Gaith]

Not to mention, while picking up Agent Carter might please a good chunk of their existing subscribers, they're already providing them with exclusive Marvel content, so it's intuitive good business to seek out new subscribers in other areas. They make the most money by just barely justifying subscription costs to the biggest possible swath of people, not by delighting any one minority of their subscribers (who pay the same rate as the merely satisfied).

I'm disappointed it's done, but I'm glad we got what we did.

And I can't really say there's a shortage of good Marvel shows, so it's good to have another show with other characters then dwell on ones that already got some.

Who knows, maybe a whole new show will pop up in a few years that Peggy Carter is on. She's already crossed over with SHIELD, and in 3 movies, she can show up anywhere in the MCU.

This is totally random, but I was recently re-reading Robert A. Heinlein's 1941 story "--And He Built a Crooked House--", about an innovative architect who accidentally invents a 4-dimensional tesseract house that he, his friend, and his friend's wife get trapped in, and I was trying to mentally "cast" the roles, and I thought of Dominic Cooper in Howard Stark mode to play the architect. And then it occurred to me that I could totally see the story rewritten into an MCU short film (or maybe a half-hour TV episode) with Howard Stark in the role of the architect, Peggy Carter in the role of the friend, and Jarvis in place of the wife. A few tweaks here and there would be needed to fit the characters, of course -- sort of like how Larry Niven adapted "The Soft Weapon" into an animated Star Trek episode -- but I think it could work. Howard isn't an architect, but if he decided to dabble in the field, accidentally inventing a 4D house is just the sort of thing he might do.

Why Netflix passed on Agent Carter...



Is it just me, or are those statements slightly contradictory?

The problem for Netflix picking up AC, is that the existing licencing agreements between ABC Studios with networks outside the U S, would mean those networks would receive a third season as part of their contracts. Netflix's service in those regions would not be able to run the show, nor even stream it after the season ended if another streaming service/basic cable channel had already purchased rerun rights.

They'd be paying for a show that they couldn't show everywhere, which is what Sarandos could've explained better.

Who is Sharon Carter's grandparent? Peggy is her great-aunt. And Michael Carter, who died during WWII, is her great-uncle. Who is the grandparent?

 

[Gaith]

^ Either there was a third Carter sibling that episode didn't show, or Michael fathered a kid before he died, or Sharon wasn't Peggy's exact genetic great-niece.

 

[Christopher]

I was going to suggest that Sharon might've been the granddaughter of Peggy's brother-in-law, but then her surname would probably be Souza. (Or whatever.)

 

[Gaith]

^ Or her dad was an unrelated Carter...

(Paging the Department of Redundancy and Pointless Nitpicks Department!)

Who is the grandparent?

John Carter of Mars?

 

[Nerys Myk]

John Carter of Mars?

Well in the comics, the Carters were an old Virginia family and of course John Carter is also from Virginia.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

There's nothing to suggest there wasn't another sibling. I can't recall if there was anything to suggest Peggy's brother didn't have a kid before he died.

I'm sure Season Three would have explored his past more.

 

[RJDiogenes]

I wonder if she's related to that Carter family in Georgia.

 

[Mr Light]

I have a very vague memory of an interview saying there was more to his brother that would be revealed in Season 3, like he was still alive.
