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

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

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.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

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?

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Darcy and Woo getting caught up in watching the broadcast pleases me so much.

I really like knowing more of what is going on than I did a couple of weeks ago but really knowing that I have no idea what is actually going on. Whee!

Jimmy Woo said he went out to Westview on a missing persons case -- will that person be significant?

I was just wondering that, too. Someone in WitSec, right? Seems potentially interesting.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Apparent the Pietro who showed up is actually the actor of the same character from the X-Men movies? Because Disney just got the rights back to the X-Men.

Wacky, though.

I think I'm on board with Wanda being kind of an asshole. Unless it's not really her. But if it wasn't, wouldn't she have admitted that?
