TFG1Mike and Steve Megatron dive into Marvel's Agent Carter, ABC's new eight-episode miniseries that premiered January 6, 2015. They kick off with TV news from thetelevixen.com, covering premiere dates, renewals, and cancellations across the network landscape, plus the revelation that Stan Lee will cameo in the show. After breaking down the cast—including Hayley Atwell returning as Peggy Carter, James Darcy as Jarvis, and Dominic Cooper reprising Howard Stark—they discuss their initial impressions of the first three episodes. Mike calls it a refreshing Marvel property that effectively bridges the gap between Captain America: The First Avenger and the broader MCU, while Steve appreciates the strong pacing and character dynamics, especially between Carter and Jarvis as they work to clear Stark's name. Both agree the show feels like a period piece with compelling writing, though Mike wishes for more episodes beyond the planned seven and Steve wants faster story answers. They wrap up with plans for upcoming Remote Control episodes, including season passes for The Blacklist and Dallas, and a Daredevil coverage when the Netflix series drops in April.
