Stronger ‘Carter’
By SOPHIA KAUFMAN
Daily Arts Writer
“Agent Carter” had a strong first
season. The premiere and finale
were solid, and
the overall story
was intelligently
crafted and skill-
fully
executed.
The second sea-
son’s
premiere,
“The Lady in the
Lake,”
carries
over all the com-
pelling elements
of the first, while
also establishing
some new, even
stronger
story-
lines.
In its beginning season, Peggy
Carter (Hayley Atwell, “Captain
America: The First Avenger”) had
to struggle with overt and covert
sexist behavior from her superiors
and co-workers, constantly need-
ing to prove that she was just as
capable as the men. In the first few
minutes of the premiere, we see the
men’s shifted perspective. Her cur-
rent chief, Jack Thompson (Chad
Michael Murray, “One Tree Hill”),
trusts her to begin the interroga-
tion of Dottie (Bridget Regan, “Jane
the Virgin”) as others watch from
behind a mirror, commenting on
how impressed they are with her
technique. When Thompson sends
Peggy to Los Angeles per Daniel
Sousa’s (Enver Gjokaj, “Dollhouse”)
request for a talented agent, Mur-
ray and Atwell convey that the ten-
sion between them isn’t predicated
upon a lack of respect — but rather a
desire on Thompson’s part to move
ahead in his career.
When Carter arrives in Cali-
fornia, there is some uneasiness
between Sousa, now the chief of
the S.S.R.’s West Coast branch,
and Peggy, but the romantic sub-
plot exposition doesn’t derail from
the actual plot — solving a strange
murder case involving a woman’s
body encased in a block of frozen
lake water.
Edwin Jarvis (James D’Arcy,
“Broadchurch”), Peggy’s ally from
the first season, introduces her to
his wife, who is a little too wide-
eyed to seem real. It’s the only
scene in the episode that feels
forced, but Mrs. Jarvis (Lotte Ver-
beek, “The Fault in Our Stars”)
makes up for the awkwardness
when she gives Peggy the kind of
present every woman truly wants
— a garter that also functions as a
holster.
A new villain, Whitney Frost
(Wynn Everett, “The Newsroom”)
is introduced, ill will simmering
under the polite conversations
she holds with other characters,
and there’s also a new romantic
interest for Peggy, Dr. Jason Wil-
kes (Reggie Austin, “The Omen”),
who may or may not be in cahoots
with Frost. With the inclusion of
Wilkes’s character, the writing of
the premiere sets up conversations
about the racial discrimination of
the time period. Wilkes and Carter
have an understanding look in their
eyes when they speak to one anoth-
er; their chemistry feels natural.
As always in “Agent Carter,” the
dialogue is organic, and the actors
deliver it well. There’s even a cute
nod to today’s popular jargon —
when Jarvis is injured, and Peggy
reassures him that he’ll live, he
replies crossly, “Of course I’ll live.
I’m worried about the aesthetic.”
The elegance of the shots of
1940s New York in the first season
is echoed in the second season’s
glamorous shots of Old Hollywood,
in setting, costuming and makeup.
Subtly chic details, like the color
of Peggy’s sunglasses matching
her lipstick, create an aesthetically
rich viewing experience. The first
shot of “The Lady in the Lake”— a
perky red hat bobbing along in a sea
of grey suits — is beautifully framed
and reminiscent of the contrasts
between Peggy and her male co-
workers in the first season, but the
differences of the power structures
this season are emphasized when it
is revealed that the red hat belongs
to Dottie, not Peggy.
The beauty of “Agent Carter”
never detracts from the story, nor
from the themes that organically
arise from it. Neither Carter nor the
female antagonists are weaker for
their femininity, nor do they apolo-
gize for it. Peggy Carter and co. are
continuing a conversation that they
helped start with the first season,
which was followed by the likes of
“Supergirl” and more recently (and
successfully) “Jessica Jones” about
whether there’s space and/or inter-
est for female superheros.
Peggy might not have powers,
but she doesn’t need them. As she
proves over and over, she can still
kick anyone’s ass.

TV REVIEW
MUSIC INTERVIEW
Exclusive interview
with Protomartyr
By REGAN DETWILER
Daily Arts Writer
Detroit-based Protomartyr,
a post-punk foursome with a
sound that’s mellow yet explor-
ative, but still angry, released
in October The Agent Intel-
lect, their third and without a
doubt their best, album in four
years. Frontman Joe Casey,
guitarist Greg Ahee, drum-
mer Alex Leonard and bassist
Scott Davidson are alumni of
the University of Detroit Jesuit
High School and Academy, and
who have been playing local
gigs for years. The funny thing
is, Casey is a whole 10 years
older than the others.
With their upcoming tour
including a stop at the Blind
Pig on Jan. 29, I had a chance
to sit down for a chat with the
group’s
dark-humored
and
semi-fatalistic front man and
talk about the tour, the albums
and the emotions thus far.
TMD: I know you guys
have had three albums in
four years, which is very
impressive. What were some
of the driving forces behind
this latest release?
JC: Well, we wanted to kind
of keep recording as fast as
we could. We had a bunch of
songs ready to go, so our sec-
ond album pretty much started
with our new stuff right away.
We tried to keep working as
much as we could ... We decid-
ed to go back, for this record,
back to the same studio. We felt
like we wanted to record in the
same studio just to see what it
would be like to go back to a
place where we now feel com-
fortable, whereas the first time
we were kind of like in awe of
being in a studio for three days
... it was amazing, whereas the
first record, we recorded in
a day. Now we have a whole
week! We really wanted to kind
of use the studio as much as
possible.
TMD: It really seems like
you guys are just constantly
creating music. How can you
describe your creative pro-
cess, if you want to use that
terminology?
JC: Laughs. I don’t! You
know, it’s unfortunate because
we work pretty hard ... We’re
about to go out on this tour
where we’re gonna be gone
until the end of July. That’s the
first time that’s ever happened.
And I don’t think we’re neces-
sarily a band who can come up
with new stuff on the road. You
hear stories about somebody
recording something in a hotel
room or something but ... we’re
still a band who can’t stay in a
hotel room — we have to sleep
on some floors. So yeah, I don’t
know how people can record on
the road. I don’t think there’ll
be another album coming out
this year.
TMD: So what is this
urgency
behind
creating?
Why the four albums in three
years?
JC: Well, I feel like there are
two drastic extremes for put-
ting music out: one is to spend
a long time working on it, like
three or four years, and anoth-
er is to record it really fast
and put it up online. I like to
think we’re somewhere in the
middle. Putting out an album,
especially
nowadays
where
you can just throw it up online,
you can come up with an idea
and record it and put it online.
So there are people that have
released a lot more stuff than
we have, but I think we’re actu-
ally somewhere in the middle
where we take a little bit of
time, work on it, and then we
move on to the next thing. And
we do put in a lot of work and
effort, especially into the last
two records ... but then after a
while you just kind of have to
let it go. And also, a band itself
... most bands don’t last more
than five years. On average,
some bands only last a couple
weeks. You know, you can’t
find a drummer or something.
There are few bands who have
that creative spark.
TMD: Definitely, definite-
ly. A little fatalistic.
JC: Laughs.
TMD: Going off of what
you were saying about that
perfect piece, I think what
fans love about what Pro-
tomartyr has done is that it
does have that kind of raw
feel. Now we have so much
music that’s recorded and
then edited, so you end up
with that perfect product at
the end. But I think people
like that raw sound that you
guys have. Some people have
even described you as giving
this kind of musical realism.
Comments?
JC: Well, you know, you can
live in a world where you lis-
ten to very smooth, perfectly
constructed music and enjoy
it. If you think music is kind of
like visual art, some very raw
things are still considered art.
There are some things that are
sculpted out of marble and took
decades to make. And a world
can exist where both of those
things are going on. There’s a
book that just came out about
the Swedes or whatever who
make pretty much every hit
song that all have the same
things in them. There’s really
only one or two people writing
the Top 40. That happens and
people get sick of it. They want
something raw. I don’t know if
we’re very musical-realistic but
you know ... we want to sound
better but I guess we sound as
good as we are. Laughs. The
band is getting better but we
play at our level.
TMD:
No,
you
guys
sound great. It’s a realistic
response.
JC: Laughs.
TMD: People are describ-
ing Agent Intellect as your
best work. Do you think this
album is a departure from
what you’ve done in the past?
JC: No, I’d call it a continua-
tion. And, you know, it’s always
a good sign when people tell
you it’s the best. What’s inter-
esting is understanding that
people respond. I’m not going
to say, ‘Oh, I can take that bad
review’ because I can’t. You’re
responding to it. So it’s good
to see people are thinking
that we’re developing or get-
ting better or changing. That’s
good.
