  - yeah, i'm kind of impressed by that, really. -- nm - Andie Feb 16, 13:09
  - Not if you're going to attack her over the amount of money she spent on clothes. nm - Dignan Feb 16, 13:07 2

Agent Carter has been fantastic. The last two episodes really kicked things up a notch. - TWuG Feb 16, 12:37

- Royce Clayton? -- nm - budice Feb 16, 12:43 4
  - This would have been my guess as well. -- nm - David Feb 16, 12:52 2
