This season looks miles interesting than season 1, which ,I felt was very boring to me

BackwardGalaxy - 1/4/2016, 10:32 AM

I enjoyed the first season and am looking forward to more.

Omegacron - 1/4/2016, 10:40 AM

So Sousa became Chief of the West Coast division, eh? Nice. Since we don't have any details on the rescue in which he was maimed, I still wonder if he will become the husband that Peggy mentioned in Winter Soldier. They could easily slip in that Captain America led the rescue party in which Sousa and the others escaped.

kakinurmawth - 1/4/2016, 1:09 PM

@Th0rOdinson- whoa what's that from? Was he in a Marvel movie too??

kakinurmawth - 1/4/2016, 1:14 PM

time for some lovely pics of Hayley Atwell

Mercwitham0uth - 1/4/2016, 1:51 PM

@kakinurmawth

It was in Avengers. You see him as one of the cops that Cap directs to block off area's around New York when the Chitauri were invading.

kakinurmawth - 1/4/2016, 1:52 PM

@Mercwitham0uth - No, shit.... huh, I totally don't remember him.

RamonSuarez - 1/4/2016, 2:22 PM

I watch everything with James D'Arcy because he was in Cloud Atlas, the most criminally ignored movie of the decade.

marvelstudios - 1/4/2016, 5:44 PM

Looking forward to this. AOS going on a break leaves a bit of a void.

JoeMomma29 - 1/4/2016, 5:45 PM

Love this show! I hope it is as good as the first season!

rabid - 1/5/2016, 12:26 AM

Would be a cool plotline if the government created another Captain America... William Naslund. Would be even cooler if it's set in '76.
Season 3 wishes.

newmutantsRETURNS - 1/5/2016, 6:40 AM

Last season of AC ....count on it...

Gruff - 1/6/2016, 12:29 AM

As far as this sites concerned, Hayley Atwell only ever plays Titular roles.
