Marvel's Agent Carter

  So the next Marvel Cinematic Universe tie-in tv show has now started airing.
  
  After introducing her in the first Captain America film and then the little introduction to her unit in one of the Agents of SHIELD episodes Peggy Carter now has her own show.
  
  It feels different to Agents of SHIELD - it feels more fun. And the 1940's setting isn't bad either.
  
  And look out for Hayley Atwell in that dress in the opening episode.

  I want to watch this, but as far as I know there hasn't been any news of a pickup for UK tv, and I don't tend to stream programs, at all. Hopefully it will be on netflix (which I was planning on getting soon anyway, just gives me another reason).
  I liked the set up in the one shot, and the glimpses of the kind of thing it would cover in Agents of shield were interesting.

  It's a shame that someone hasn't decided to pick it up for UK broadcast yet.
  Given that 4 already have Agent's of SHIELD you would assume that they would maybe have first refusal for Agent Carter.
  
  I haven't seen the one shot (you know with them only putting it on the blu-ray releases) - but from the glimpses we saw in SHIELD to set it up it's like that yet.
  It's not quite a case of the trailer making it out to be a drama only to find it's actually a comedy.
  
  Oh, and don't stream. Download. Therefore making it constantly available.

  I honestly thought channel 4 would get it, makes an ideal companion to show with Agents of Shield, but then clearly I was wrong.
  You'd probably like the one shot if you got chance to see it, the trailer seems very close in tone to the one shot.
  
  Hoping some channel picks it up soon, find it very annoying when things are shown ages behind, makes spoilers more likely.

  One of these days I will find a way to drop something in by accident (or not) that will spoil every show you currently watch.
  
  Third episode aired in the US this week and it's still going strong.
  And in more good news Bridget Regan (Legend of the Seeker) is now appearing. It was just a brief introduction but that will mean there is more of her. Although I'm not sure I liked the dolled up 40's look.

  As long as you avoid giving big spoilers I won't hold it against you lol. Spoilers are inevitable at somepoint, since Agents of shield and Agent Carter may crossover plot points again (like with a particular villian from series 2). Because the writers won't know that UK tv channels are a bit dim and ignore some programs entirely.

  I'm curious about more Shield/Agent Carter crossovers. The set-up thing in SHIELD was nice but I would be perfectly happy for Agent Carter to just stay its own course for the foreseeable future now.

  Any crossover between the two would be some incident, artefact, person or event connected to Hydra. That would be the only way they would connect, as it was with the previous flashbacks and recurring villian.
  I think mostly Agent Carter won't need to, since it's the start of Shield and before everything else.

  Yeah I think Agent Carter can stand by its self. And with it being set so far before SHIELD its nice that it limits what they can do crossover wise.
  
  The stuff in SHIELD where it showed them fist finding the weapon was cool and little kinda things like that will do nicely.

  The only crossover I can think of, is maybe a young Hank Pym, since he is older in Ant-man there is probably some way they can show him. Which actually is probably very likely, and will no doubt happen sometime before the Ant-man film release later in the year.
