The Shoutbox
I watched the first few episodes of Agents of Shield, but couldn't get into it and I like Marvel. I don't think you are missing much by not watching Agents of Shield. WandaVision though is a must watch. It is really creative, clever and different from most Marvel shows or films. I think WandaVision can be enjoyed by people who don't like Marvel.
Can someone give me one reason to watch ‘Agents of Shield’ if I generally hate Marvel? I was just asked point-blank why I ignored the recommendation to watch it and waffled. But not gonna lie, I’m not inclined to. Same with ‘Wanda Vision’. Is it likely to be my ‘Breaking Bad’ moment where I’ll regret for ages not watching it sooner? Somebody, weigh in.

I just replied there. You're correct that it's not the actor who played Farcus in A Christmas Story.
May I rest easy, tonight, with this placed to post.

Needles. I’m triggered! 😅

Blasonov was played by Pasha D. Lychnikoff, who only played that part. Not sure if it's the clerk you're talking about, but IMDB credits Zack Ward as the Hotel Desk Clerk, who is famous for playing Scut Farcus in A Christmas Story.
Different clerk. I THINK that might be t he clerk that has a history of soiling himself when drunk, and found Wild Bill's letter after a passing out near the river while washing his pants. The letter was given to him by Wild Bill just before he was shot, and this clerk forgot he had it until after sobering up. The letter was miraculously unharmed and was then given to E.B. Farnum in shame. Looking at your reference, he appears in two episodes. One in S1 and again in S2. SEEMs about right with my recent rewatch. Dude had unmistakable eyes!!! Thanks for the dig into that.

The guy I'm seeing appears in Season 3, around episode 3 maybe. Joanie Stubbs is lost at this point, after losing her stock with the Wollcock event and seems to be renting a $2-dollar room from a new hotel structure in camp. So far there has only been one scene with this clerk, but I believe there is at least one more to come. His features look very much like ----WOAH, Zack Ward's eyes are DEFINATELY those "Scut Farcus" yellow eyes!!! I remember now someone here posting a pic of him from Deadwood and noting his yellow eyes. Funny!--- the telegraph operator's. I see if I can get a screen capture tonight maybe if I can find the scene again. Or at least the episode title.

This is a long reply. I don't want to proof it. Sorry.
Just scoured IMDb and can't seem to find any listing that fits in a few episodes I peeked into there. But during the rewatch, I'll see what I can find out. Give me a few days to get to season 3, though. Because now that's gonna bug me too.
