Looks great. Also looks like they've bumped up the budget for at least this show.

Feeling the pressure from DCTV, I mean CW? Then again, could just be a pilot thing with the budget taking a hit as the season goes on.

Or maybe this isn't as effects heavy as AoS, so it allows them to use their budget elsewhere?

It's probably also due to it being 8 episodes instead of 21 or whatever.

But yeah the show is probably not blowing half of the budget on quinjet scenes.

I still don't understand why they felt the need for the Quinjet in AoS. Feels like a pointless addition, especially with what happened last episode.

Well this is from the MCU folks in a way that AoS isn't. Feige and Esposito have their fingerprints all over it.

EXCLUSIVE: Costa Ronin Cast as Anton Vanko in Marvel's Agent Carter

Iron Man 2 could be retroactively made better if this is true.

Only an 8-episode season? Interesting. I hope it's allowed to be its own thing instead of feeling like an extended flashback for Agents of SHIELD.

Is there a significant sci-fi/fantasy/superhero element to this that's being kept under wraps, or is it the grounded (compared to SHIELD, anyway) pulp spy thriller that it's being marketed as? It could still be quite good as the latter, but I'm wondering.

From the looks of things it will tie into a story started on AOS so I imagine there will be a scifi element but I also expect a pulp spy thriller.

If it's remotely as good as Captain America 2, I'll watch it. Love the time period/setting.
Agent Carter looks so cool *-*

Eh, nothing points definitively to the contrary, but nothing that ABC has released about this show suggests its storyline is directly related to SHIELD or Carter's appearances on it in any way.

I'm sure there'll be some connection, of course.

I think they've been primarily building to a connection. I'm sure Agent Carter will be something that you can start as a standalone property but also have a hook into AOS so that the audience from that will carry over.

Then at the end of AC I'm sure there will be some sort of hook to get people to watch AOS.

I'm totally okay with the latter, especially if it has somewhat goofy Tom Swift-ish gadgets like the ones used in the AoS S1 finale. If it basically feels like a more-serious, more-actiony version of Get Smart I'll be incredibly fucking delighted.
