Russian assassins, getting to the truth, investigation discoveries, Howling Commando action and the role of women and diversity in Agent Carter – this week is jam packed with topics for discussion. The Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents Haley, Stargate Pioneer, and Lauren dive into Agent Carter Event episode 5 “The Iron Curtain” this week. They also discuss the week in Marvel news, interact with the live Mixlr chat room and review down all the awesome Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D. feedback.

Unqualified Gamers 100th episode! [3:29]
Congratulations to the GonnaGeek.com video game podcast Unqualified Gamers for reaching 100 episodes this week. We certainly think they need all the support they can get since they’ve gone 100 episodes without being qualified to podcast about video games.
Agent Carter The Iron Curtain [3:51]
The hosts find themselves on the backside of the Agent Carter special event as things heat up for Agent Carter and we learn to do as Peggy says. As usual Marvel does it best to successfully creep us out by showing us The Red Room and just why Dottie is as fundamentally crazy as she is. For those of us not making the connection at home Marvel pulls back the veiling curtain and tells us flat out that Leviathan is a secret Russian shadow organization. Marvel also tries to make us like Thompson but the hosts just can’t totally get there from Thompson still being…well Thompson. And the hosts wonder why Sousa is sitting on his profound discovery and we aren’t talking about what he discovered in the SSR changing room either. Plus maybe Chief Dooley isn’t that bad of a guy either since he wants what we want – the truth.

Taking Darcy out of the Thor series would be a mistake.
Rumor: THOR: RAGNAROK Director Shortlist Revealed, Darcy’s Future in Question
Big changes could be coming to Asgard, True Believers. Just so we’re very clear on this one, what follows should be taken with a MASSIVE grain of salt until…
NERDIST.COM
Lauren Wisniewski As someone who has written Darcy-centric fanfic… MOAR DARCY.
Stargate Pioneer Some of the best times I’ve had in truck stops were from notes scribbled on the bathroom stalls.
Jonathan Chalmers This “the_marvel_intern” has been posting a lot stuff on Reddit lately, but I call B.S. It’s the internet equivalent of scrawling something on the inside of a bathroom stall.
Christy Danger Very true! And I love that hat.
Mary Kirk OMG Darcy is my one of my favorite characters in the MCU I want her in MORE not less!
