Has anybody seen any good merchandise? I'm going to add to my t-shirt wall art with this shirt. I like these stickers. You want some socks? How 'bout this Sharon Carter t-shirt? Everyday cosplay! Enamel pins!


Ayo! In case you need a short refresher. Look, idk what's going to happen, but . . . 94% sure Bucky's going to get his ass kicked.

Sam's suit. So that didn't go down the way I thought it would. What did you think about the 'pimp' conversation? I know so little about men's fashion, and I think they said African fashion? Except that I wish men could wear what they want and really express themselves without the negative connotations? More patterns! More colors!

Reduced role for John Walker in this episode, and Karli did a bad thing in the Flag Smasher's plot. My barely there show theories are falling apart.

What's up with Sharon? It feels a little like the MCU abandoned her. There was no reason she wouldn't have caught up with Steve, Sam, and Natasha when they were on the run, but Falcon and Winter Soldier needed an ally in Madripoor so they squished her in. You think she's going to get her pardon?

Please react, question, discuss, and capslock in the comments. Play nice and be aware that not everyone wants spoilers for future episodes or have read/watched the same articles and interviews.

I am loving all the Sam & Bucky bro-nimy happening (SO MUCH)... but there's a lot going on in the periphery of this show that I just don't like after 11 years of investment.

Also not enjoying all the "review" sites putting all the blame of all the downtrodden on Steve. (there were too many articles in my feed, this weekend.. It made me a little ragey, to be honest). Steve isn't responsible for fixing the world; and the writers know what they are doing with Sharon's backstory and the non-snapped. (we hope..)

PS: show of hands who actually likes to word "blip"?

I loath that they settled on the word 'blip' just ug. It was the snap. They were snapped.

I'm really enjoying what the show is giving us for Sam and Bucky bonding! I mean, I've been writing them for years with wildly different characterizations, so I was a little afraid I'd have like . . . a lot of dissonance, but they've really given us a lot of layers already so a person can pick their favorite kind of communication from this disaster duo!

I haven't been reading any of the reviews, I want to wait until we've all seen the entire series. I am really curious if they're going to answer any of the Steve questions. Where is he and what is he doing? If he didn't head back to his own alternate timeline then why isn't he texting Bucky? I won't mind if they don't, I'm obviously here for Sam, but y'know, I'm curious for him too. : )
