Marvel's Agent Carter - Time and Tide

With her colleagues turning their attention to Jarvis (James D’Arcy) after discovering one of Howard Stark‘s (Dominic Cooper) cars was at the Roxxon explosion Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) has to take one for the team, making the men in her office think even less of her, and then figure out just what happened to all of Stark’s stolen technology. By the end of “Time and Tide” most of the stolen tech will be recovered, Peggy will have a better understanding of Jarvis, and the SSR will redouble their efforts into finding and punishing Stark blaming the missing inventor for the death of one of their own.

Marvel's Agent Carter - Bridge and Tunnel

While attempting to ignore the “Captain America Adventure Hour” and find a new place to live, Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) continues to try and prove Howard Stark‘s (Dominic Cooper) innocence by tracking down a missing milk truck. Meanwhile Leviathan’s agents, on orders form their magic typewriter (don’t ask), also begin scouring the city for Leet Brannis (James Frain) and his supply of weapons like the one that destroyed the Roxxon facility. Finally discovering that they can trace the particles left over from the explosion, Carter’s male counterparts (Chad Michael Murray, Kyle Bornheimer) begin investigating the Roxxon explosion uncovering one of Brannis’ henchmen (James Urbaniak), with Carter’s help of course.

Marvel's Agent Carter - Now is Not the End

Set in 1946 just after the end of the Second World War, Hayley Atwell reprises her role as Peggy Carter in Marvel’s latest television project. Still mourning the death of Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Peggy is stuck pigeon-holed as the lone woman in an office of alpha-male spies on the lookout for Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) who has disappeared while testifying in front of Congress about the possibility of his company selling arms to enemies of the United States during wartime.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – What They Become

The show’s mid-season finale (it won’t return until March of 2015) finally delivers on storylines the season has increasingly dragged its feet on rather than fully explore. Skye (Chloe Bennet) finally meets her father (Kyle MacLachlan), her true name is revealed (suggesting she’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of a well-known S.H.I.E.L.D. comic character), and the show all but confirms what I’ve believed since last season: Skye in an Inhuman. Oh, and she also shoots Ward (Brett Dalton) in the back, which is pretty funny (although I think we’d have all been happier if she shot him in the head).

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – ...Ye Who Enter Here

The slow moving progression to the reveal of the hidden city and Skye‘s (Chloe Bennet) reunion with her murderous father (Kyle MacLachlan) moves ever so slightly forward in “…Ye Who Enter Here.” Despite locating the location in the last episode, and racing Hydra to discover its hidden secrets, the team barely gets a couple of steps into a tunnel to the city before the closing credits. We’re also given some foreshadowing about a (possibly nefarious) secondary purpose for some of Coulson‘s (Clark Gregg) new recruits including both Mac (Henry Simmons) and Bobbi (Adrianne Palicki) other than serving S.H.I.E.L.D. that unnecessarily draws your attention away from what little progress is being made to the overall season arc this week.
