Can't wait t:

 

[Dr Lee]

Erm... Is that a typo or did they just reveal a surprise guest?

 

[Roadkill]

Jeez, looks like everybody and their dog is in this episode. And apparently Coulsen masters time travel since Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter is credited. t:

Flashbacks, archived footage, or I could see him seeking advice from present day Peggy on how to go about rebuilding SHIELD from scratch.

 

[Dr Lee]

Maybe the opening scene is actually Atwell... Possibly have her a scene of her sat at the desk of SHIELD director... Then have it transition into Coulson sat at his director desk?

Oh God, I would die!

No, it's true. Soldier #1 will be making his Marvel Cinematic/TV Debut. t:

I can't wait till he passes the torch to Soldier #2.

 

[Dark Raven]

I didn't realise Crusher Creel would be debuting this early in the first episode.

I wonder what Peggy's role will be. A flashback or present day old Peggy? But that would require expensive CGI again if it's the latter. They can't ruin her with cheap old age make up.

 

[Donut]

It's only a matter of time before they do some Time Travel shenanigans & either Coulson & co goes into the past or Peggy into the future

 

[Vartha]

I don't think they'll do that. I can't think of any real reason to do that

HAS to be a Flashback. I mean Phil will be using the same offices they did in the Beginning. It'll probably TEASE us with the upcoming Agent Carter show.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

did anyone notice that Talbot is now a general! he got a promotion that mean he is even more of a threat to go after Coulson and his team

 

[Donut]

I don't think they'll do that. I can't think of any real reason to do that

Ratings ? But I'd rather them save that for a Cap Movie

 

[Vartha]

Yeah, traveling to the past to ME would mess with any Cap film.
I mean granted the MCU is different from the Comics, I don't think traveling to the past would help any on the show. I can see sending TEXT into the past say via morse code to warn Carter of Hydra infiltration

 

[Moridin]

A big NO to "Time Travel Shenanigans".

 

[John Locke]

Maybe Peggy's in an orientation film for new recruits of the then new S.H.I.E.L.D. and Coulson shows it to the team to inspire them on how to rebuild S.H.I.E.L.D. Something like this:

Here we go again t:

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

I missed those episode threads. glad that they are back.
is it to early for a rating thread?

 

[InternetPeople]

Peggy probably shows up on a film of some sort that Coulson watches for inspiration. Maybe in his quest to rebuild SHIELD, Coulson goes back, watches the film with Peggy and this sets in motion an understanding within Coulson that SHIELD needs to be remolded into a SWORD if it hopes to tackle these new threats in later seasons. Blah, blah comic accuracy, blah, blah.

But yeah, Atwell, video archive, not flashbacks, not time travel, not old Alzheimered Peggy.

The reason for including Atwell likely has more to do with reconnecting fans to her story prior to the Agent Carter miniseries.

 

[Dark Raven]

I could see it could be flashbacks though. Coulson might say that their new base of operations has a lot of history, and might recount stories he's heard/ read about to some of the agents like Skye about Peggy Carter. Then it might have a cut away/ flashback to an earlier time when the place was occupied by Peggy.

Cool! There's a pic of all three at that link. Nice to see some Howling Commanders back. Dum Dum is less of a surprise than Morita, so I'm glad he wasn't forgotten. I'm surprised we aren't getting a Gabe Jones appearance to tie in to Triplette.

I wonder how long the flashback will be.

 

[Dark Raven]

In Marvel's description of the episode where they list the credits, they didn't list Dum Dum and Morita. I can understand if it were going to be a surprise, but they showed us the picture not long after.
