AGENT CARTER REDACTED FILE TV

Despatched by Vernon Masters to dig up some dirt on Peggy, we find Chief Thompson in London schmoozing an old friend who has managed to produce Peggy’s M15 file for him, a file clearly implicating our girl in some massacre.

They’re the ‘necessary evils’ that keep TV drama moving along – although the skill is in not letting the audience spot them while they’re watching, and to Agent Carter’s credit it’s usually done so slickly that we don’t notice.īut there are bigger things that feel ‘wrong’ this week, character-based stuff that either doesn’t work or doesn’t fit. Ignore my moaning, I can live with details like that. While I’m being mean, it also speaks volumes for Howard Stark’s genius that he manages to invent a device for closing the zero matter rift even though when he left, there was no suggestion that anybody was planning to open it. It’s also pushing it a bit that Aloysius Herbert Samberly (the SSR scientist who gains more confidence and more names each time we see him) manages to take Howard Stark’s telex-ed plans for “a gamma cannon” (real scientists may want to find something on BBC Two to watch instead at this point) and make the device in what seems to be only a matter of hours. A niggling detail perhaps, but it does rather stretch credibility that, after having been so forcibly removed as head of the SSR last week, Sousa (and Peggy) are able to casually stroll in and out of the SSR. Unusually it’s an episode that feels a little rushed and unready. I don’t just mean the eerie zero matter split across the face of Whitney Frost, but in the nuts and bolts of the storytelling as the season moves towards its climax. I’m afraid that the cracks are beginning to show in ‘The Edge of Mystery’, this week’s episode of Agent Carter.
