Oz ,'Beneath You'
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
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.
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.
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?
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.
I like Carter and Jarvis but not anyone else. I'm finding it hard to watch.
Man, I can remember somebody telling me about waitresses at automats but now I can't find supporting documentation. My unreliable memory asserts that they were a thing, though. Audrey Meadow's played an Automat waitress in That Touch of Mink, so that's something, I suppose.
I wonder if any database managers are wondering at the uptick in hits on Automats.
I guess a resurgence wouldn't fly between modern day health codes and the way some people behave in restaurants. I always wanted to eat in one.
