An someone explain how Steve got back in our time line? I am so confused by the seemingly incoherent rules of time travel in this movie.

I’m not totally positive on this part, I feel like I would require another rewatch (there’s a lot to take in), but Tony made them all those wrist mounted GPS time navigators to stabilize them on their journey primarily but also so they could control where they went. That’s how Steve is meant to only leave once and go to a bunch of different places to return the stones, even though strictly speaking for the moment those are all diverging timelines that he’s going to bring back into alignment with ours. To return the stones to begin with, he’s multiverse jumping.

The navigator is also how he and Tony are able to go to New Jersey. The limitation of one round trip from and back to the platform is there because they only have enough of the Pym Particles to make one trip each, but once Tony and Steve obtain more of them there’s really no reason he couldn’t be way more in control of his trip.

The platform seems like it’s basically there to make sure they come back where and when they’re meant to. If he doesn’t plan to come back to precisely then, he doesn’t need the platform. He can just send himself to roughly the right place a few days in advance, watch his younger self leave, and then plant himself for the reveal like the dramatic ho that he is.

I don't know how you do it, but wow you sure do it. Keep up the great work.

I literally just finished this episode, opened Tumblr and saw this :) Excellent work

My dream S3 would’ve had a more international flavor. If season 1 was New York and season 2 was LA, for season 3 I wanted to see Peggy & co. go to London and possibly farther afield, as they searched for the solution to the mystery of the key and Jack’s shooting (not his murder, of course!) and whether Michael Carter is alive or dead.

My fantasy wishlist for S3:

Picking up pretty much immediately after the end of S2 rather than having another timeskip - at most I wouldn’t want to jump forward more than a couple of months.

Peggy & Daniel trying to negotiate the balance between work + personal life now that they’re in a relationship. No jealousy or contrived drama, just a sort of real-world-ish figuring out how to be people in a relationship who are also workaholics and often not even on the same continent.

Jack being basically grounded for the first couple of episodes because of his injuries and providing ground support, as it were, while Peggy & Daniel (+Jarvis, Rose, etc) do the field stuff.

Fallout from the Arena Club mess w/further disintegration of the SSR leading towards the formation of SHIELD (but not actually getting there; forming SHIELD could be S4).

Action/adventure shenanigans in the great outdoors. In keeping with the international theme, I have a persistent fantasy about everybody ending up in the Alps looking for a secret baddie base in pursuit of the Michael Carter/key mystery, with avalanches and being roped together to cross crevasses and so forth - and yes, I know my fantasy Alps look more like the Himalayas than the actual Alps, plus the show probably wouldn’t have the budget for this, but IT’S FANTASY OKAY. I liked the lost-in-the-desert bit from season two but there wasn’t NEARLY enough of it, so pretty much I just want my babies stranded in the mountains. Look, Jarvis has CANONICALLY done mountaineering, and Mountain Wilderness Shenanigans would be A+ comedy gold + the perfect opportunity for h/c.

Some sort of badass female spy ally/frenemy for Peggy. Basically someone who’s more on the ally end of things than Dottie but still not entirely on their side, like an observer who is assigned to them by the SSR or MI-6, for example. Basically if there are going to be new characters for S3, I think it would be great for the show to have more action-type women for Peggy to interact with and also I want a love interest for Jack.

And naturally, Dottie coming back to make their lives difficult some more. 

My birth family is a fun combo of dead or terrible. Found family is the only kind I have.

I find myself saying "and they never spoke to them again " way too often in early sg1. So many dropped plots, as was the style at the time

yeah, and one of those half assed plots happens to be Sam and Jack’s relationship

(re: your other comment - It’s not spam at all! I WANTED people to ask me questions. :D)

Honestly, considering the show’s generally light/comedic tone, I think the less real-world politics, the better. I’d much rather see it stick with fantasy Cold War shenanigans, more on the James Bond end of things, rather than trying to do serious John Le Carre type stuff, because it’s just … not that kind of show, really. I mean, the show DOES have serious stuff and IMHO does it well (e.g. in the first season, dealing with war damage and PTSD in its characters) but that’s on a personal level. The larger political level is mostly fantasy – Leviathan instead of the KGB, etc – and I honestly don’t want to see it go to a more serious place, because I don’t think the tone of the show is right for doing it well.
