IJWTS I find the phrase “intensely suggestive dialogue” hilarious.

You are not wrong, Dana.
As I halfway suspected, my apparent issue with the 4th wall breakage was that there was not enough of it…
In short, that was fun!

I hit the "oh come on!" wall a few seconds before Jen did, but what followed after vaulted this show past WandaVision to become my favorite MCU show.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Completely agree! That was tremendous fun and I wish the rest of the season had been that good.
(And I *desperately* needed the effects to be better. We *know* Marvel can afford to produce better mo-cap than this, so do it, damnit.)

The issue appears to be that Marvel is overworking the entire VFX industry with its expanding schedule and tight deadlines. They have the money to produce better, but not the manpower.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The Bill Bixby intro was fantastic.

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

That was perfection.
I...wasn't a fan of the super-meta, self-referential MCU/K.E.V.I.N. thing. It turned breaking the fourth wall into a non-Euclidean jumble for me.
But I liked the series overall. Tatiana Maslany was so fucking good. And if this is how the MCU pulls Daredevil back into continuity, I'm good with that.

She is so amazingly good. Nice to have her back on TV.

Yes!
I didn't realize until a couple of hours after I watched that K.E.V.I.N. wasn't just a random name pulled out of a hat

Also, I am much more invested in the redemption of Emil Blonsky than I would have thought.
