Kandy did a great job with the Gottmik aesthetic

I enjoyed this episode so much, I shaved my ass for it.

From day one it’s clear to me that Simone, Gottmik, and Rosé will be in the top 4. The other queens are fighting for that last spot. I think it’s gonna be either Tina or Utica who will be filling it.

No, that “psychic” deserved to have her boring bullshit called out to her face. Someone...was raised on a farm? A cow...was once a calf? And it can be bottle fed? Inconceivable! I just wish Utica had said “actually, it was during an improv scene. I was working on an interpretative dance routine featuring farm animals,

Would have liked one if the queens call out what a crock of shit physics are. But in one of the taking head interviews because it would have been rude to call her out in front of her face. 

Tina would have been sashayed away, long ago.

I have to admit that the episode was a lot better than I feared it would be. And Tina even seemed to show some character growth! And then she ruined that illusion by talking. And by putting Rose in that godawful schmatte.

Still... so... MANY... queens... left.

Ru’s decision to judge the challenge as teams robbed Tina of a long-overdue trip to the bottom, and a lipsync. Rose’s “makeover” was clearly the worst.

I thought Denali was stunning! I mean, not Shuga Cain stunning, but that was still a great look for her. Plus, she clearly won that lipsync. I think Ru gave Olivia the save as a consolation prize for having to wear clown makeup on the runway.

Minus the psychic bullshit.

Given that Olivia has two wins its hard to argue with her staying over Denali but whatever initial charm she was throwing out there has worn off. She’s pretty generic imo.

Really liked this episode and I honestly would love to see this challenge come back. Honestly so cool to see a queen do her distinct look on another queen with her own distinct look. Some great interactions and amazing results came from this.

To stop the Scarlet Witch and therefore prevent the end of the world. I'm not saying Agatha is fully noble or anything, but she did a hell of a lot less wrong than Wanda 

At one point didn’t someone even ask if the kids were “real” and they were (ie not townspeople turned into kids I guess?)  I mean, I guess it was purposefully left vague and they’ll pop up again sometime down the road, judging by the credit scene, but the show seemed to want us to feel like having them in danger was

It’s almost as if it didn’t have to be a mystery box show. Let’s say they moved the Agatha Harkness reveal up to the fourth episode. Does that *really* change anything? I’d say no, but it let’s the audience in and we can watch as the show catches up to us.

In Age of Ultron she creates hallucinations for Iron Man and other members of the team and then she mind controlls the Hulk into fighting Hulkbuster. 

Vision and her kids aren’t even real, they’re constructs she created in her mind. “Killing” them isn’t just justifiable, it’s morally correct, especially when you’ve enslaved thousands of other people to fulfill this bizarre fantasy.

Maybe it was their intention to go this way all along, with Wanda being magical, and they are just getting to it now. The MCU has shown a remarkable ability for patience in laying out their long term vision. Um, no pun intended.

How is Wanda not the villain? She tortured a town for weeks. Including putting the children into a sleep which we now know was filled with her nightmares. Agatha wanted the power but to be fair she knows if Wanda keeps it, the world is going to end.
