Netflix has confirmed a Jessica Jones 2nd series, and there are rumors that it's considering a Punisher series. Makes me wonder if they're ever going to get around to Iron Fist.

Yay! I raise a bourbon-based drink in Jessica Jones' honor.

Now that was the best fight sequence I've seen on TV in a good long time.

Are you people watching the Captain America special? At the very end, someone's saying something about how there's "always a Captain America," and the b-roll under that is MLK, Amelia Earhart, a guy I didn't recognize, John McCain, and Harvey Milk. Now THAT is covering some bases!

Is Angie in this season?

I'm a little annoyed with the treatment of race in this ep of Peggy Carter. At first, I thought that it was color blind casting, because no black man would have dared to be that forward with a white woman, especially one that he didn't know.

And then there was the janitor comment, and the "colored crowd" comment (more in keeping with the time). But, there's no way that a white woman would have walked into a place like the Dunbar unescorted without garnering a lot of attention (nor could the spying white guy be unnoticed).

Further, Wilkes would have been under a microscope at Isodyne, there's no way that he would have been able to sneak anywhere.

So, it's nice that Joss wanted Peggy to be so egalitarian and color-blind, but it just wasn't realistic.

Otherwise, great ep!

p.s. - no body means he'll be back. Possibly with superpowers.

Yeah, Peggy walking into the Dunbar to no reaction reminded me of the MAD Magazine spoof of Live and Let Die:

"My assignment is to find 'Mr. Big' of Harlem. I think I'll just lean against this bar with my blond hair and blue eyes, Oxford clothes and English accent, and casually blend in so they won't notice me!"

I think a more realistic treatment of race would have slowed down the story and changed the focus of the show. I don't see it as too remarkable of Peggy to be egalitarian. From what I've seen, England didn't have near the race issues as Americans did (or do, my info is on the war years, not current). I do hope he shows up again.

And I don't want Daniel to dump his nurse for Peggy!

I miss Angie, but Anna Jarvis is a hoot! I hope she got to spoil Tony rotten.

I think a more realistic treatment of race would have slowed down the story and changed the focus of the show.

It may have slowed down the story, but they certainly could have addressed it and still made plot points. For example, if Wilkes had disguised himself as a janitor to sneak into the restricted area, and then when asked how he got the film say something like "people see what they want to see".

Or had Peggy arrive at the Dunbar to stares, but then have Wilkes say "she's with me".

No, that's true. But Peggy's indignant response and Wilkes' addressing to the counterman at the diner was also uncharacteristic of the time. This is a time even before Emmett Till, who was lynched because he was accused of whistling at a white woman. California may have been more liberal than Mississipi, but it was no utopia.

I can see Peggy being unconcerned with the race of a man she's interested in, that's no problem. But she's been living in America for years. No way would open racism be an outrageous surprise to her.

I also think Dr. Wilkes was unrealistically (and dangerously for him) forward in flirting with her. Given the setting, he had no real reason to expect a positive reaction from Peggy with as little interaction as they'd had at that point, and every reason to expect negative ones from just about every onlooker observing an interracial couple being cozy with one another.
