Limerick Review: Agent Carter S1E5, The Iron Ceiling


Though by no means was this show flopping,
It needed one more tasty topping:
For what's a spy show,
I'd like dearly to know,
Without any proper globe-hopping?

Russia thinks that its chance of winning
Is improved by kids fighting and spinning,
So they built a camp
To train each deadly scamp,
And we see the Black Widow's beginning.

Our heroes to Russia embark
To get some tech stolen from Stark.
They run into trouble,
'midst rubles and rubble,
But ultimately find their mark.

Dear earnest Sousa, meanwhile,
Has been sifting through Peggy's file,
Her work on the sly
Makes him think she's a spy,
And he starts acting strangely hostile.

But the real Russian agent's at home,
In the building from which Peggy roamed,
She invades Carter's room
While our girl's in gloom
And picks through it with a fine-toothed comb.

Reprising roles from World War II,
The Howling Commandos come through,
And those who might wanna
See Neal McDonough
With mustache again will thank you.

There are clever touches, alright,
Like some backstory given in flight,
Or that the kid slaves
Are taught how to behave
By reciting out lines from Snow White.

With little enough to regret,
This might be the best episode yet.
And each devotee
Will return next to see
How she deals with a domestic threat.
