Since its TV debut in January on ABC, Marvel's "Agent Carter" has consistently showcased pure fun and excitement all done in retro-stylish manner giving fellow small screen action series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" a run for its money.

The Feb. 17, Tuesday, episode "SNAFU" further cemented the status of "Agent Carter" as a gamechanger in T.V. action series delivering stunning visuals and seamless performances.

According to Observation Deck, "SNAFU" is a strong episode with the tone fluctuating between suspenseful, hopeful, and downright dreadful, which are all tied together with strong comic book references, something that "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" needs to have.

The episode engaged the audience with Carter's continuing quest to clear Howard Stark's name, stop Leviathan and get some respect from her co-workers.

Bleeding Cool identified Carter's cross-examination by her co-workers. She is being interviewed by not one but three of her co-agents, Jack Thompson, Daniel Sousa, and Chief Roger Dooley.

Despite using various techniques, her co-agents were not successful in their interrogation. Despite being held prisoner, Carter yet again proved she was in total control of the situation.

Another important scene featured Edwin Jarvis, the guy who mostly infuse fun to the series, taking it upon himself to try and help Agent Carter. While the plan didn't work, Jarvis effort and loyalty is truly noteworthy.

Dr. Ivchenko's ability to get into people's heads is again highlighted in this episode. Here, viewers witnessed how Dr. Ivchenko convinced a soldier to undergo leg amputation without anesthesia. He is also shown telling Dooley to do whatever he wants.

The part where Chief Dooley resolved that he was going to die and commanded Carter to go after Ivchenko is also a crucial. Here, Dooley realized that Carter is among all the others at the SSR that would most likely stop Leviathan.
