Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
No, it was just a bare hint of it in Capt America when he finds Bucky strapped to a table in front of a machine repeating his rank and number. It is a fair explanation that they had interest in the idea, but no success until meeting Faust, but I still consider it a retcon, because I don't think that's what they were originally suggesting.
Besides which it also means that they've been experimenting on Bucky all this time with no success.

It isn't necessarily a binary "success or no success" type situation. They could have varying degrees of success. Like look at the Proto Black Widow program...it would be hard to call it a failure in the context of the time it exists in, but it is clear it isn't as refined as the later versions. They could easily be having a level of success with Bucky using various programs (such as drugs/etc), but Faust might be the key to allow them to refine the program and bring it to the next level in terms of control. The fact Cap is able to snap Bucky out of it eventually lends itself to the idea that they were using the Faust originated mind control techniques.

Did he have any powers beyond normal movie action hero stuff + the bionic arm?
I guess the fact he was still young. Maybe that was all they could milk out of Cap's powers?

i think the bionic arm was meant as a counterattack to Cap's shield throw/bash, but he seems to be equal with Cap in everything else. perhaps the samples the SSR did hae and squandered werent really squandered, but smuggled away by hydra to create the winter soldier?

Finally finished the series. Most of my comments have already been said. So all that's left to wonder about is where crazy legs got the magical earplugs that cancel out all sound. Cause with typical ear plugs, you can hear someone talking just fine. In fact, they make it easier to hear speech most of the time.
I guess I'm also confused why peggy wasn't made the head honcho at the end. Was she ever actually in charge, or was she just the most badass agent they had?

There's actually a bit of a continuity problem coming, unless they retcon the Agent Carter one-shot they released with Iron Man 3. The short version is that Peggy has been riding a desk for three months without being given an assignment. She solves some major problem, the chief gives her shit for it, Howard Stark rolls in and tells him to stfu because Peggy is now his boss because SSR is becoming SHIELD with Howard and Peggy in charge. So for it to stay consistent with where Agent Carter left off, we'd have to be right back with the problem where she doesn't do anything but make coffee and get lunches and all the work they did to establish that the people at the SSR office finally recognize her as being a worthwhile asset is tossed out the window.
Alternately, they could start it after the events of the one-shot as Howard and Peggy deal with the foundation of SHIELD, bring in Zola and others like him under Operation Paperclip, and we see where the roots of the Hydra conspiracy start.
