There were some serious watch from the hall moments for me (made deliberately so by the creators), but I'm definitely interested and looking forward to this week's episode. I don't dislike Wanda or Vision. I just miss Jarvis. And Age of Ultron is way at the bottom of my MCU rankings, but it's not Wanda or Vision's fault.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
WandaVision is AMAZING. Elizabeth Olsen is doing some kind of crazy magic where there are just layers and layers to her, and each layer is different and perfect.
The watch from the hall hasn't kicked in for me because it's so deliberately and perfectly artificial.
And for the perfect trifecta: the theme songs!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, the anachronisms (DH and I both commented on the wrong-era crib assembly at the same time) and sitcom logic would drive me up the wall except that that's the point.
It's nice to see two woefully underused actors getting to something interesting

All is well that ends in pizza.
Ep 4 and 5 upped the ante.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I loved the twist at the ending of Ep. 5

Holy shitballs. I had figured out what was going to happen, because it was pretty obvious, but I did not see that other thing coming.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
So, I can see 2 possibilities for Pietro showing up: 1. It really seemed like Wanda wasn't responsible, which means someone else is, in which case, who in the hell is behind that? Or 2. Wanda has lost control of her powers to some degree, and didn't consciously bring Pietro back, but because she wanted it so much, she manifested it without actually intending to do so.
Other loose ends: will we meet Ralph? In a sitcom, we wouldn't, but this isn't actually a sitcom, and Agnes has mentioned him a LOT. Also, in the last episode, when they were figuring out which SWORD agents were in Westview, was Dottie among them? And if not, then who the fuck is she? Finally, Jimmy Woo said he went out to Westview on a missing persons case -- will that person be significant?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
WandaVision
Awwwww. C=64 nostalgia.
And that ending twist, with the lampshade-hanging? Wow.

I think it's 2, Steph. They definitely harped on "there are rules, you can't change death", but this Pietro? Isn't dead.

Darcy and I said the same thing at the same time, about Pietro being recast. I had to laugh.
