Speculation: the gas was Stark's attempt at replicating the Super Soldier Forumla. It did grant super-strength (since the reports from Finow speak of people being ripped apart) but also imparted uncontrollable rage.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Also, awhile back someone mentioned Peggy eventually married one of the Howling Commandos. I thought the Peggy recording in CA:WS said that her eventual husband was someone she rescued alongside Cap and the Commandos.
She said Steve saved the man who became her husband. Which led to a lot of people speculating that it might have been one of the Howling Commandos. But Barb (who I don't think posts here) has a theory that maybe Thompson or Sousa gets gravely injured and the vial of Steve's blood saves him, and that's who she marries. The movie left it really vague and open-ended.

Okay. I couldn't remember the specifics, but I would think if she had married a Commando a news/documentary recording would have mentioned it straight-out, considering they were famous.

I've always been intrigued by the CA:WS recording not putting a married name on Peggy. Given the apparent age of the recording, that would have been on there.
I didn't realize until I was just thinking it over that the scene in Dooley's house was his hallucination. That's kind of cruel, to wake him from that. But yay him with the "Good girl."

I think Marvel wanted to leave it open-ended on purpose.

What is the deal with the hypno-guy's ring? Is it special, or a red herring?

I think it's just a tool for him to use: what's special is his hypnotic ability.
So sad to see Dooley go, I had grown to like him a lot in the last few episodes. But I'm glad he didn't die like poor Yauch.
There was a LOT packed into that episode. Every time I fast-forwarded through another set of commercials, I was surprised at how much there was left. This is some good storytelling.

YES. It's become so much better lately.
As I said before, and as everyone says now, yeah: I had grown to really like Dooley, so dammit. That was sad.
I hadn't put together the rage gas with the Battle of Finaw, but that makes sense! Eesh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
There was a LOT packed into that episode.
And Peggy never left the office.
