And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

All those immaculate three piece suits and prim exterior! You want to mess him up a bit.

Like I said last week, getting very strong Wesley vibes there, and I like them. A LOT.

I am still really bothered by a waitress at the nom-automated Automat. I am confused

It's a hybrid. Automat for the modern, waitress staff for the reactionary.

Anybody else think that the killer at the end was a woman? Something about the size of the figure and the way it moved.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well, as soon as Dottie (the new resident at the Lady Apartment) was introduced, I assumed she was a baddie. Or we're supposed to think that. Why else take the time to introduce a new character in an 8-episode arc?

OTOH, I'm paranoid enough that I worry that Angie is a secret villain, too.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I have to agree about Peggy coming across as quite naive. It makes me wonder how much of the writing may be geared towards people who don't have a Captain America background and the only thing they really know of Peggy's history is the flashbacks in the first episode. For them, this might be character development, whereas we know what a BAMF she is from prior experience.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I am still really bothered by a waitress at the nom-automated Automat. I am confused

The couple of times I went to an automat, in NY in the 70's, there was also a cafeteria line for things that didn't really work in automat format (hot food). Still no waitresses, but maybe they were used in place of the cafeteria line in some restaurants.

One of the commenters on this Smithsonian article remembers being an automat waitress, but doesn't go into detail (i.e. whether she was serving customers or just refilling the cases from behind the glass). Maybe some locations also had cooked-to-order food?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Argggh, just got into it with a poster on another board who doesn't understand why product placement ads wouldn't work on Agent Carter. I mean, I'm sure Ovaltine would be thrilled to have increased brand recognition in today's market, but they're not going to be financing an hour of primetime on ABC every week.
